Add Shaolin Martial Arts & Monastery to The Sims 4!
Hi everyone! 😊
My name is Masha, and I’m a huge fan of The Sims 4. I’ve been playing for a long time and absolutely love how the game lets us express creativity and build unique stories. I’d love to share an idea that I think could add a beautiful cultural and gameplay layer to the game — something inspired by Shaolin traditions!
🥋 1. Shaolin Martial Arts (New Skill or Activity)
What if we had a new form of movement-based activity in the game, inspired by Shaolin martial arts?
Not just fighting — but graceful, meditative movements similar to yoga, but with a martial arts theme.
This could work like yoga classes in the game — one Sim leads, others follow. It would look elegant, empowering, and calming all at once. Plus, it could help Sims build wellness, fitness, and maybe even a unique Shaolin skill.
🏯 2. Shaolin Monastery (New Lot or Hidden World)
To make it even deeper — imagine a hidden lot or a new world with a Shaolin monastery!
If a Sim reaches a high level in the Shaolin art, they could get a special invitation from the monks. There, they could:
- Go through unique training
- Learn exclusive skills
- Receive spiritual rewards or buffs
- Maybe even become a trainer or open a martial arts studio back home!
This could also tie into business gameplay (like the “Own a Business” pack) or wellness-themed aspirations.
It’s also a great chance to add more East Asian cultural content and beautiful world-building!
I think these ideas could really enrich the game and give players more ways to develop their Sims’ personalities in a non-farming, non-city lifestyle kind of way.
Would love to know what others think! 💬
And if the dev team ever sees this — thank you so much for all the creativity you bring to The Sims! 💚
