Artisan map: pottery glass blowing stained glass sewing fashion design hair etc

I have a great idea for an expansion pack and/or multiple game packs! It would be set in a new world for artisans/artists. It would be a Venice, Italy type world with a charming, historic, artisanal town having 4 or 5 lots with a new added feature of mixed use lots(both residential & business on one lot). Add a town park area that is buildable with selling tables/walls & room for sims to bring their own, which allows sims to gather there as a town market. It would have 2 to 3 areas(neighborhoods/subdivisions) with buildable lots. So the pack would have about 16 buildable lots total.

The town/world would have waterways like Venice with bridges & GONDOLAS & vaporettos(water taxis)! Your sim could use the gondolas themselves or hire one with a gondolier who would take you & friends to your destination while serenading you(option for this, maybe with paid/tip).

With this world artisan/artistic activities like pottery, glass blowing & stained glass would be added! Along with lot's of new artsy skills/careers/traits & also clothes, furniture & building items. In real life on the Venetian island of Murano, they do glass blowing which gave me the Venice idea! Also add sewing, tailoring, fashion designing, modeling, make up artistry, hair dressing, barbers...even a runway & models to add a bit of Milan. All these artistic skills would have careers & our sims would be able to use & sell the clothes/wares they make. Can you imagine the decor items as well as colorful clothes?

Add some ancient Roman ruins on one of the islands to explore, maybe something like they have in Jungle Adventure or the Sims 3 Egypt pack to make the world even more interesting!

What a fantastic pack that would be! A new world, a picturesque artist's haven/town, gondolas, lot's of new skills/hobbies/careers/clothes/building items!

    If this would be too big for one pack it could be split into two. The first Venice type world with the pottery/glass blowing and stained glass etc along with an island with ruins. 

    And, a second pack with sewing/tailoring/fashion designing/modeling/make up/hair dressing etc! This one could be in a Paris type themed world! With a "famous" sim monument or two to visit, an art museum, beautiful old architecture and gorgeous parks in the "Paris" area. With themed Parisian type neighborhoods surrounding with many buildable lots and a neighborhood park in each. Also there could be a neighborhood fashioned after Cannes/Nice, France on the water with a sims version of "Cannes International Film Festival". 

    A Sims Fashion Week could be incorporated into the world. Maybe some high fashion items could only be bought if your sim visits a particular npc run "Paris" store. Sims would have to become a certain level of famous, or become besties with someone very famous who brings them to Fashion week and/or the International Film Festival where they would score some of the best seats! Anyone else would have to pay an exorbitant amount for the nosebleed seats to these events.
