Second Seasons Expansion idea
I want more seasonal type activities. Our lives are richly enhanced by the seasons and holidays and I want more of that in game.
Wish list
New world
large town center area with changing festivals in the town square, a playground area, community garden, and field for youth sports.
Lots surrounding town square area.
Generic theme, little set dressing to allow user to customize the look of the town.
Second neighborhood with large lots, rolling hills or mountains.
New lot type-Orchard lot with changing fruits/ veggies depending on season. Second set of festivals here around fruits. For example, peach festival which would include various foods made from peaches. New fruit picking family activity.
Seasonal activities
Winter
Sledding- bonus the animation already exists just need new sleds and ability to sled anywhere with a hill.
Winterfest market- like a Christmas market. This could set up in the festival area and allow sim vendors to sell craft able. Expanded craftables like gingerbread stuff and hot drinks. Visit with father winter.
Town Square gingerbread house decorating.
Tree market- again could be set up in town square.
Chili cook-off
Hot chocolate bar
Random invites to holiday type parties at neighbors houses.
Ice sculpture contest
Family game night- board games
Tree lighting ceremony in town square.
Spring
Prom for teens
Holidays involving egg hunts would see town square egg hunt events. Kids hunting eggs holding baskets. Pictures with the spring bunny.
Pop up weddings in town square
Spring soccer season with kids and teens signing up to play youth sports
Town Square speed dating.
Spring festival- cultural events- need input from others.
Flower market.
Town Square music festival
Summer
Summer camp- teens could be counselors, kids could go to camp for a week. Make crafts, go swimming, play tag, capture the flag. Eat in a mess hall and sleep in bunks. Nightly campfires. Hiking.
Pool parties- New event also
Neighborhood pool party at community pool.
Pool stuff- slides, New floats- doughnut and unicorn floats
Floating breakfast tray.
Neighborhood festival with hot dog eating contest, sprinklers, small pop up Waterpark, seasonal crafts, telescopes for star gazing, meteor showers.
Seafood festival. Fireworks show.
New social- play flashlight tag.
Random invites for kids to have sleepovers.
Town Square dance.
Fall
Homecoming
Pop up corn maze in town square or orchard lot.
Fall festival with bobbin for apples, costume party with expanded costumes, line dancing,
haunted house, sims in relationships could hold hands going through.
Neighborhood costume parties, football parties.
Fall soccer
Issues
Obviously this is way to much to put into a refresh, it would need to be an expansion or game pack. It would need to fit seamlessly with seasons but also exist without seasons. I'm not sure how this could exist for plays without seasons. Perhaps a bundle could be created for players without seasons that incorporates seasons for like $10 more. Any thoughts?
A festival lot type would need to be added so these seasonal activities could exist in other neighborhoods.
New build/buy
Expanded playground equipment- would love to see a nature inspired playground set, rounded playground bars
Expanded pool items as listed above- spray playground type items
Floating food trays
New craftables- sculpture, pottery wheel.
Might be cool to have wine making with the orchards.
I love in game Festivals, I think they add a lot to the game. I enjoy the addition of calendar events in game.
What do you think? What would you add?
