If the developers were to revisit an existing pack, which addition would you fully be okay with paying extra for ($10 to $15?)To clarify: most of the packs we got have some elements which could be expanded. My first pet was a disaster because it had furniture and outfits noticeably made to be part of Cats & Dogs but left out, and a guinea pig which could have been part of the pack, or saved to be part of a small pets game pack/stuff pack that's a standalone from Cats & Dogs for those that only want birds, snakes, lizards etc.My question is: would you be willing to accept that some packs require that you own base game+an EP to add more gameplay to that pack? Can the devs revisit a previous theme from those I listed (or something else) that would be a justified extra purchase?EDIT: By "travel worlds", I meant destination worlds.

None--because imo most of these should have been part of the relevant packs, as in many cases they were in TS3. Note C&D already has its own stuff-pack, and was reportedly the lowest-selling of the stuff-packs due to the backlash against having DLC for DLC.

There was backlash from knowing players but there was also a big marketing operation and last I checked it was one of the bestsellers of stuff packs, like 4th or so.I don't remember celeb adverts for any other stuff packs.

@happyopi - I defer to you, then! I remember reading that it hadn't sold well, but that was simply an assertion I read several times on this forum.

We don't know what place it is in or was in. We do know that according to Graham (or was it Grant?) that it did well, not the best, but not the worst.

@Tiarella I mean I also wanted that pack to bomb, but there's no bad reputation a heavy dose of marketing can't counter unfortunately.We're never getting them, but I want birds and reptiles, treated with more care than the rodents and rodent adjacent we had in MFP. So not a random plastic cage unfit for the small pet in there.

Which existing packs could be expanded?

:tongue: Y'all want me to correct that statement with an edit, or are you content with having done so yourselves? 'Cuz it's probably derailing the thread a bit, & that'd be unfortunate.

I voted music career but it's not really an expansion to anything.

It should be it's own pack where sims can make bands, play on stages similarly to showtime, and there could be a band perk system (with GF obviously they should get fame by performing together at venues). I read somewhere that in actuality bands and it's perk system was initially going to be part of Get Together but it was either scrapped or put on hold. But I'd like if sims could form bands again, and there could be activities in GT that relate to bands like "jam together" and things like that.

I hear you, @happyopi! I've belonged to a flock since I left my parents' home (meaning I've owned parrots all my adult life), & would like to have parrots in-game that were more than the objects they were in TS3. I'm not sure it's really possible, though, & I'm not expecting it to happen. But parrots have personalities, just like cats, dogs, reptiles, and just about everything living that's not a plant. (I'm not sure about insects, but I've read stories about crickets & cockroaches kept as pets, whose owners swore they had personalities, so....okay.)

eta: @Sigzy05 -- if it were fleshed out as fully as the vamp-pack was fleshed out, that could be fun! But a game-pack, rather than a stuff-pack. :smile:

Of those options, I want C&D to be expanded on with not only with more small pets, but also the doghouses we should have gotten, but couldn't because one guru didn't like them. I'd also like to see more breeds added if possible (though I doubt it would happen). I don't like that the pack is so biased to big dogs. I'd like to see Chinese Cresteds and Toy Poodles added. For cats, I wish they'd add Munchkins and American Curls. I'm surprised that such popular breeds didn't make it into the pack.

That said, it SHOULDN'T be something we need to pay for, but a free update.

Get to Work
Allowing Scientists to invent more gadgets and gizmos and experiments that is not strictly geared towards Aliens, but Vampires, and soon Mystics.
New crimes and mysteries to Solve for Detectives.
and New inflictions for doctors to cure.

Get Famous
Initially What I was hoping for was Singing and Acting to be the Main two careers.
I think had Singing been a well thought out career, I would have purchased Get Famous.
and being a Celebrity, Having to worm your way to achieve that so called "Glamorous Life" and what goes on behind the scenes as well as on camera.
