Expansion Pack Idea - Amusement Park Life for Sims

It's my first time posting to forum. Ever. For anything. Also, I'm fairly new to playing the Sims 4, or video games in general, tbh. 

I know it's not a new idea, and other simmers have said they would enjoy an Amusement Park expansion pack in other posts. In fact, I've seen so much interest in it, I'm just baffled that one doesn't exist yet. 

I’d love to see an Amusement Park–themed expansion pack added to The Sims. I grew up playing RollerCoaster Tycoon, and it would be amazing to see that kind of creative park-building experience blended into the Sims world.

In this pack, players could build and design their own amusement parks—from small traveling carnivals to massive theme parks. We could place and customize rides, decorate the grounds, and manage everything from ticket prices to park layout.

It would also be fun if Sims could have new amusement park careers, such as:

Ride Operator, Entertainer (mascots, performers, magicians, etc.), Food Stall Worker, Maintenance Technician, Park Manager or Owner.

On the gameplay side, Sims could:

Ride roller coasters, Ferris wheels, and other attractions, Play carnival games and win prizes, Buy snacks, souvenirs, and drinks from themed stalls, Go on dates or family outings at the park, Experience new moodlets (thrilled, nauseous, sunburned, etc.)

This kind of expansion could combine creative building, management gameplay, and social interactions, giving players something fresh while tapping into the nostalgia of classic park-builder games.

I think it would be a really fun, lively addition to the Sims universe. Would anyone else like to see something like this? A zoo one would be really fun too. 

Thanks for reading! 🎢

    I would love a rollercoaster, especially if we could design the track ourselves. If they add a Merry-go-round and bumper cars, I used to love bumper cars as a kid, or go karts, I would be so happy. And a Ferris wheel you can see inside of. There is a Ferris wheel in Highschool Years EP, but it's a rabbit hole, so not much fun. Don't think the zoo would be much fun as you just walk around and look at the animals, it might feel like a fun day out in real life, but in game it can be quite boring, same as watching TV.

    I think it's a great idea! I think Crocobaura added great insights too. Designing the rollercoaster should be really fun, a real challenge also. I may add that cotton candy should play a rol here somehow! Death by cotton candy maybe? haha!

    Never heard of death by cotton candy, maybe if you pour too much sugar into the machine it makes a large blob of cotton candy and it covers you entirely and you become the cotton candy monster, but maybe they could add death by roller coaster where sims die because of fright.
