Pool Ideas & Retro Sims Stuff

I admit, these are needs and I need this pool stuff. LOL

I really want a normal, backyard diving board, like we had in every other iteration of The Sims. We also had cute pool slides in the past and both came with base game in Sims 1. I would faint if I saw this update and could build realistic pools! We could also use a base game update to pool rims for better selections, variety. I'd even like to see matching floors and walls for pools. Can we please have round pools? We have the smoothly curved walls, so please, let us fill our round rooms with water.

Anyone remember Sims 1? Remember the unique items like the Barcelona kitchen counters - convex and concave? How about the heart bed that worked? Sure, we have one put away in the basement, but imagine a retro pack including a working lurve bed?
Pool table and pinball machine and mini golf.
Upright piano - such an iconic family item. Sims 1 had that right.
A Sims retrospective pack would be cool IMO.

I know we have a ton of things to do in Sims 4 but I'd like to buy more than 4 business. Maybe I want to run 3 retail stores (bridal shop, sporting goods store, pet store) or 2 coffee shops. I feel limited when it comes to opening stores. Anyhoo, I'm sure I'll think of other thing. :)

I might as well add that I'd really like to see upper cabinets to match counters that don't have them. A few more swatches would be nice also.

    I love all of these ideas.
    The matching floors and walls would really be nice. Curved walls would be fantastic. We could make some awesome elegant pools.
    Slides would be great!
    I'd love slides that have stairs rather than just ladders. Like the kind where they have stone on the side and the slide looks like it is more natural. Maybe even have a little cave underneath the slide for a more private area with some seating.
    Other things I'd like to see are different depths of pools or the ability to have a shallow end and deep end. Having seats-- basically concrete formations in the pool would be nice. As would having steps/stairs inside the pool instead of just a pool ladder. When I had a house with a pool there were steps in the shallow end and a ledge/seat in the deep end with a tall rock border. It would be nice to have fences directly next to pools on certain spots. Or I suppose we could place rocks. My pool had a sort of rock fence behind the seat and a garden area behind that. There was a ladder on the opposite side in the deep end. The pool itself was sort of peanut shaped.

    Upright piano would be nice.

    More shops wouldn't be bad either.

    Yes on the matching wall cabinets!! I'd like different height ones and ones with shelves on the side (for end cabinets), and more countertops for the counters.

    Maybe some regular counters that don't have a backsplash (similar to island ones) but that get placed against the wall. I'd love to have island counters that can connect to regular ones to make peninsula counters. Split level/two tier counters similar to the bars would be nice. We could choose if we want a backsplash, flat, or have a split level where the top part is "bar height" and can be a place where Sims sit and eat while on bar stools. This would be nice for eat-in kitchens.
