Now that would be amazing. I want at least 2-3 African themed worlds. (I mean, we have 2 Asian, 2 Latin American, 5 European, 2 Fantasy. and a billion US/Canada worlds, so it's not a big ask!).
I want a North African world. Especially since we have all those hajibs. I want a world inspired by that culture. Imagine all the beautiful architecture we'll have access to. And yes, packs like Life and Death, Love Struck, Jungle Adventure, and Courtyard have some of those design elements. But, imagine a whole world with it.
I bet some people would like a rural sub-Saharan or South African world. It would be beautiful. Maybe they can introduce some more little animals to interact with.
But what I really want, is a Nigerian/Ghana inspired world. I'm more familiar with these cultures, so that's why I'm dreaming of this world. It includes a new Afro-beats station. It has all those beautiful dresses and headpieces. It has the corals. IDK what the pack can be about. But I want it.
So, if they do the urban West African EP or even game pack, then it can release this massive hair stuff pack before the the bigger African world pack. I want the hair pack to be its own pack because I want ALL of these hairs. Not some of them. All of them. So, I'm happy to pay $5-$10 for all this hair. And if the hairs release as a stuff pack, they can include that hairstylist career/skill that I mentioned earlier.
And then later on in the cycle, that's when they release the pack with the African world. Maybe..., maybe it can be a travel pack. Hear me out. So, the residential world is this urban Lagos/Accra city. And it's a mixture of ancient and modern design. But, your sims can go on vacation to 2 other vacation African worlds! A rural safari and another tropical world, like Seychelles. These are vacation worlds like Batuu and Camping pack.
This is the pack that officially releases resorts. Where you can run or stay at a resort. There will be an official gift shop feature that makes it easier to run gift shops and souvenirs in game. This is also the pack that allows food and vendor carts to already be open and functional when placed on lots. Other game activities include" snorkeling, getting massages, wind surfing, and maybe even a rabbit hole restaurant, like in Sims 3.
The main city, let's call it LagosAccra, has the nightclubs, fancy modern hotels, the rabbithole restaurant, residential areas, a beautiful park with a botanical dome. The park can also have a base-game wedding venue, and some carts. There can even be an arcade with a skate rink. Skating rinks are base game, right? And this arcade has some food stalls in it, to showcase that food stalls are now functional in lots, too. And I hope they include at least 3-4 West African dishes and drinks.
Maybe a new career in game can be travel advisor...my step mom and my step dad are these. So, I guess they are making a comeback. And that my parents have a type. lol.
So, vacation world 1: Safari. I have no interest in Safaris. So, idk what even happens here. Y'all can put some suggestions. But there is a beautiful resort. Something like what you'd find in Disney's animal kingdom. Maybe build buy can have a baby giraffe stall. Like the llamas and cows. But giraffes just never grow up...since y'know. They're kinda huge. Unless the game wants to make up pygmy giraffes or something. We have mini-cows irl. Cattle the size of schnauzers but they're cattle. Maybe a pet monkey. Like the crow or hamster. Nothing fancy like a dog, cat, or horse. It's got good bbq in this world. Fresh coconuts. If they grow in that region. Cozy huts that are rentals. And like I said, the gorgeous rustic but luxurious resort.
Vacation World 2: Seychelles-type. This is another tropical world because the equator is huge and we can never have too many! Crystal clear and pool-blue oceans with white sand beaches. Maybe pretend there is a volcano and give us a black-sand beach, too! Beach front rentals with the tropical forest in the back. I'm picturing one of the rentals is like a luxe tree house with a hammocks and wicker swings on the massive porch overlooking the wooded ravine and a distant waterfall. The resort here is that trendy beige aesthetic with ethnic undertones. White plaster exterior with wood accents. Lots of natural but luxurious accents and decors. Large natural stone tubs with natural shapes to them, and they over look the forest. Wooden showers. Candles. Solid stone floors. Furnishings that range from rustic modern to natural luxury. Lots of beige, white, brown, black, and taupe. The sculptures reflect this as well. And of course there are beautiful wood masks hanging decor. In a variety of finishes. From warm browns to ash browns to colorful. Light, medium, and dark. There can be a rabbithole restaurant at or near the hotel, too. Unless the Sims wants to bring Dining elements to this game. Maybe the rabbithole restaurant can be off lot but look like it's a part of the resort because a few of the massage tables are under a pergola overlooking the beach or something. Oh, and of course there are some wooden showers perfect for outdoors.
There can be a nice bar at both vacation worlds. A beachy outdoors bar in Seychelles-type. And whatever type of bar they want in Safari. I think it would be cute if it were surrounded by tents and looked like a pop-up bar. And there were trinkets and treasure decor. And the bar was near a rabbithole of some mansion that got abandoned and is slightly overgrown and belonged to a professor. And when you explore the house, you find collectables from the professor's findings. It's like the crypts and the tunnels mixed with Tarzan or something. And I would like for Sims to be able to travel to these rabbitholes together. We have the technology since they can do it on those Copperdale rides. I feel bad for my sims when they explore spooky places by themselves. Maybe if you get far enough into the professor's house, you can find a secret world like Sixam or something. I'll let the developers come up with THOSE details. Maybe it can delve into African mythology.
What other game play features do y'all want? And how do we make it expand game play for things we already have?
Now, CAS. Like I said, it has a lot of West African traditional and modern styles. I want Ashanti prints, dashikis, and a lot of those other dresses and suits. I want coral bead necklaces and bracelets. I want a few different head pieces. I want more eyelashes. I think all EP should come with more body hair and eyelashes. Like, can't we have a chest hair that is more than the little triangle but not as much as all the way up to their throats? Like, some people have chest hair only on the bottom half of their pectorals. And since this is an African inspired world, maybe introduce some curly torso hair, too? And as far as eyelashes go, I'd just like some more variety. Like with CC. Some that feather out differently. Body hair and eyelashes are base game, so packs really could add more if they wanted to.
Maybe, the game and the patch update can allow facial hair for women and let babyhair and faded hairlines to be considered as facial hair. Because there are too many hairstyles with MASSIVE foreheads that babyhair could fix. Like those long half-up locs in game. Or maybe, just put babyhair and fade-edges in their own category and you can take them off when the hairstyle you've chosen already has edges. And now we can choose different babyhair styles. From simple to fancy. Because not all afro-hair needs babyhair. I rarely wear it. But it is very cute and my sims' edges stay laid. (probably because we've never had it in previous games, lol)
I also want more lip glosses that compliment darker sims without having to mess with the settings. Especially the nude colors.
Can we also start including hair wreaths, crowns, and tiaras under hats? And can y'all add tiaras to Crystal Creations? Because I want to make some crowns and tiaras and want to make a treasure chest filled with jewels and jewelry and it needs a fancy tiara in there.
As far as the the rest of CAS goes, definitely more scarfs and wraps. Some larger hoop earring (although, I'm pretty sure that's more African-American, but I we still need them) some large round glasses. Those aren't going out of style anytime soon, so y'all might as well add them. Stop avoiding my harry potter glasses.
Lots more cornrow styles if y'all decide to put the hairstyling skill in the EP instead of the game pack? Or let it be in the patch update that releases with the game pack with all the hairs that I requested in the OC, and the game pack comes with a few varieties of chairs. And this EP comes with the hairstyling career, more chairs and more corn rows and braids, too. The chair styles can vary between a standard kitchen chair, a luxurious salon chair, a mid-range salon chair. A cutesy salon chair. A modern one, too. For the beach, we can have more luxurious looking sunglasses some that are traditional and some that are trendy. Some new swim suits. A long, thick wavy hair with 4 cornrows at the top. A sleek, beachy maxi dress. Another sleek maxi dress that is more bodycon that is sleeveless but with a high collar. Or it can be a spaghetti strap. And it has a slit at the leg. A cute set with a crochet halter crop top and fitted crochet skirt with a slit as well. The top and bottoms match, btw. And the top is a halter, but with a high neckline, not a v-neck halter. It comes in brown, black, and white. But also fun colors. More platform sandals, to, please. And also, some platform maryjanes like Sailor Venus. I love those.
