Orchestra Game Pack idea

Da-da-da-da-dum!

Let the music play and get carried away with The Sims 4 Orchestra. Become a masterful musician with the new Trumpet, Tuba, Flute, and Drum instruments. Form an orchestra of your own; play at weddings, parties, or at the new Concert Hall venue, and make your living. Or call upon an orchestra to add life and color to your sim's life. Want some trumpets trumpeting the greatness of your marriage? Hire an orchestra for your wedding. Want some bombastic music playing while you propose? Hire your very own orchestra to follow you around and give you a theme song. Want some clashing cymbals to add flair to your epic efforts to sit on your couch and watch TV? You got it! I mean, why not? It's your orchestra. Sure, it might be expensive to hire them, but you're paying them good money for this!


Orchestra Band/Group

Form your very own Orchestra. Choose who participates and what instruments they play. Maybe you want ten people playing the piano and nothing else. It's your choice. Earn simoleons by putting on shows and do your best to keep the group together. Group members who hate each other may bicker when they should be playing, or quit the Orchestra entirely in the middle of a show. Eep! Better keep the band together.


Conductor or Musician

Play the lead in an Orchestra with the new Conductor skill or participate in one with Trumpet, Tuba, Flute, Drum, Piano, or Violin. Choose from a variety of songs to play and hope that it doesn't sound horrible because you decided that five Tuba players accompanied by a Piano was a good idea.


Hire an Orchestra

Hire an Orchestra to follow you around, hire one as part of an event, or hire one by dropping a special Orchestra podium object on a lot and hiring one to play on it. Shush casual passers-by who are making noise and ask them to stay away from your precious Orchestral music. Orchestra music must be listened to in peace and quiet!


Dress in, Harrumph, "Cultured" Attire

Dress to impress in fancy, but bland, attire that is sure to impress other concertgoers and cause them to get nervous about the strand of hair on the left side of their head up by that area near that place where it won't quite flatten. No, not there... there. Just... just... why didn't you use hairspray at home. Leave it, just leave it! No one will notice anyway.

As you sit in your seat at a Concert Hall and lose yourself in the music, enjoy the beautiful benefit of your needs fading away in importance, their numerical values locked in place while you listen, so that you won't be disturbing the concert while it's going because you have to get up and go to the bathroom. You should have gone before, you uncultured swine, you. Harrumph, harrumph, harrumph.

  • This could be cool if I could make Percy Faith as a sim and have him hire an orchestra of Sims.

    Percy Faith to me is the king of beautiful music also called mood or soft music with the lush strings.
  • Dang, I didn't know he was a thing. I looked up some of his work. Makes me think of the old hollywood style, with broad, sweeping dance movements and that touch of charm like the world has a bit of magic in it.
  • This... this could work. Get To Work already shows that it's possible for them to sync up many different Sims at once. Plus, I always welcome more music related activities in my Sims game. The game is, while I think its done personal instruments the best out of all the Sims games I've played, I would like to see more. Would this be a GP or an EP? If it's an EP, this could actually tie into a Showtime EP.

    I penned it as a GP idea, but it might be too big of an idea for a GP. I imagine the budget for the variety of instruments and music for them might add up fast; I don't know how much music usually costs them, but that was the one hangup in my mind about posing it as a GP idea.

    So yeah, maybe it could work into a Showtime thingy of some kind. Admittedly, I think I said GP in part just because there are so few EPs getting made and something like this would probably be super low priority on a list of EPs. Altho, I guess after Pets and Seasons are out of the way, it's really open season in terms of what's most desired by the community.

    Yep he was one of the many orchestrators of beautiful music. I have every album he did on cds now and also mp3s.

    Nice!
  • Maybe also add more instruments that are orchestral not just a band. I.E. The Bass, Cello, Viola, first/second violin options in career,
