Realistic kit ideas

What are your realistic kit ideas?
Realistic as in either bb or cas, no new gameplay.

Here are a few of mine.

Icebar kit- furniture/bar items that appear to be made out of ice for creating ice bars.

Costumes- spooky day, festival, toga etc. Bonus points if it has cross pack compatibility with seasons or spooky day packs. Include costumes for kids/toddlers/infants too.

Tea sets

Coastal furniture kit

Wedding party kit- I know we got wedding stuff with my wedding stories but I want more bridal party and bridesmaids dresses and bridal gowns with veils.

Tattoo kit
  • I'd personally want a sci-fi or medieval kit. Realistically, sci-fi would have a decor theme that's similar to Get to Work's Scientist items. Maybe even throw in some futuristic outfits and glowing accessories. Medieval would include some peasant or royalty clothes alongside display swords. Couple that with Horse Ranch and you might finally have yourself a bargain bin version of The Sims Medieval.

    Ideally, despite Bust the Dust's broken state, I wouldn't mind seeing a sliver of gameplay from future kits as long as it's tuned properly.

        Love this @redrogue60 ! I would be the first to get this ?

    I would like some fundamental, non quirky kits, in order to finish builds that I have started but cant without cc,
    say like for museums, classical columns, the kit of Classical order roman, and greek, Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. It looks silly with the columns we have now - like romantic garden kit. I see expert builders pulling from debug a lot, but I have yet to memorized the debug and I dont like doing that. it also doesnt count as a real piece of building but set dressing.
    Classical architecture kit build buy

    I would like contemporary architectural tecnology kit- like say architectural details you find toyko buildings, or airports, curtain wall, tension cable systems, trust, roof structures, roof textures update like ceilings, ...

    Contemporary and the same for old gothic styles of architecture like vaulted ceilings.

    and functioning elevators instead of stairs- not sure if that s stuff pack but
    also spiral

    Grunge and goth cas kits have been checked but there are so many other sub genres of each. Also would like miminal street fashionista, and designer fashions but more realistic and cool. I like they ones which they have already pushed out, but not my exact cup of tea. I used a lot of cc.

    Hair styles kits- we need s lot more hair options.

    All of this please, including (animated) visual effects objects, such as:


    • fog object
    • Glowing cracks wall / floor / ceiling deco.
    • Hanging/ Flying Bats placeable on ceilings and roof and stuff.
    • A clock that chimes at the stroke of midnight.
    • More spooky paintings similar to the animated ones we got with spooky stuff.


    Monsters:


    • Some sort of interactive evil tree, a bit like what’s his name, Patchy the scarecrow, but evil.
    • Pit monster.
    • Swamp beast.
    • An updated Monster Under The Bed. That’s right, kids should be able to properly befriend it. I imagine this huge monster that follows the kid around ( that only the child can see) and obeys the kid’s every command. Time to properly deal with them bullies. ?


    Edit: sorry, monsters are gameplay. I suppose we can stuff them in a stuff pack.

    I really wanted Maltese with the long flowing show dog hair . I had cc for this in sims 1 and was entirely dissapointed they didnt have it for sims 4. There are other dog breeds with this hair too, like Lhasa Apso, Yorkies, Shih Tzu, Havanese, & Pekingese, also with only puppy cuts available. Not content with that. The did address longer styles with the bigger dogs like Afghan Hound, Collie, and Irish Setter, so I don't understand why they chimped on the smaller breeds.
    If they could have body create a sim cas for this update for dog breeds, I would get it in a heartbeat. I would prefer it to be a free update though.

    And also the Japanese or Korean cut for these long hair breeds - so cute!

  • I'd love a full on Gay Pride kit, either for CAS or BB, maybe even have it add a Pride day to the calendar so the world can be decorated accordingly.
  • Some ideas I have for that:

    -Regular men's clothing.
    Jeans, shirts with prints, some hats, regular and balding hairstyles that are not super stylised, some beards too, cargo pants, a nice leather jacket, just stuff you see men wear all the time. Not some weird high fashion stuff. Have a man design this pack, please.

    -High tech kit.
    Adds futuristic looking electronic devices and appliances like computers, a TV, dishwasher, fridge, toilet, shower, bed, hot tub, washing machine and dryer, new spaceship too, we never got one since the base game.

    -Canes.
    Since Dust the bust does add a bit of gameplay, I think canes could work for that too, offering few objects but ones that add new walking animations. Like it could add a dozen canes with different colour swatches and a few walking styles to go with it.
    Elderly, elegant and swag.

    -Goth clothing.
    Could be a good theme for a pack with some darker stuff as well as some interesting jewellery, hats, gloves and shoes. Should give as much to men as to women though, they need to stop neglecting men and giving them descent clothes too.

    -Cybernetic pack.
    Adds tattoos, gloves, glasses, boots, clothing, scars, make up, eyes and such that can make your sim look like they are a cyborg.

    -Alien pack.
    Focuses on the most neglected life state. Adds several alien suits including the styles seen in sims 2 and 3 as well as a UFO space ship to construct and alien clothing in all categories. So they'd have thematic athletic, sleep and swimwear too.

    -Wizard pack.
    Since realm of magic was horrible with clothing, offering next to nothing actually looking like something mages would wear, I'd propose a pack that adds some nice wizard fashions. Pointy hats and hoods, long flowing robes with wide sleeves, also the sexier variant for the seductress kind of sorceress. Also of course some hairstyles and impressive beards, maybe old fashioned glasses too and some librarian looking mage outfits.
