Halloween Items - Costumes, Activities, Build/Buy

 

*Note: The examples below cross many packs and require certain packs to be able to use them. This is intentional. If you don't have the pack, for example Dogs & Cats for the collars and costumes it would be something that stays in the game files and unlocks when you purchase the applicable pack. 

  • Activity Items - It's not such a foreign concept that we might quite like objects that actually do new things in game rather than endless recolors and reskinned things we already have.

    What about the ability to use costumes from other packs, like Spooky Stuff and Lovestruck for the Spooky Day  holiday "get dressed up." Currently it only allows the base game costumes, and there are only 2 options for kids???

    What I am going for in this suggestion is to have tab where we can pick our own costumes for a costume party NOT have them randomly picked except for maybe NPCs we invite. This should include any and all costumes that are in any of the pack not just the specific ones I listed. The list is simply for additional classic costumes to be added to the mix.

    Not only that but f I had my way I'd add to CAP:

    • Cold Weather Coats
    • Doggles
    • Holiday & Seasonal Collars 
    • Holiday Sweaters 
    • Life Jackets for being on a Boat 
    • Painted Claws 
    • Pet Costumes 
    • Profession Gear because I'd add Pet Jobs back 
    • Raincoats & Booties
    • Sweaters in Argyle and Buffalo Plaid

    Yes!  The default costumes aren't really my cup of tea.  All possible costumes should be included.  There's plenty of options from Spooky Stuff and Get Famous in particular, so those should really be made available.

    • I'd love a costumes tab, as well as each situational outfit tab being available/unlocked, and career. I like the idea of full customization of a Sim including NPCs. 
    • I also love themes such as Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz, and various fairy tales.
    • The idea of cloaks for cold weather is great, as an accessory cover.
    • Masks. Venetian, iconic masks, and artistic masks.
    • I miss being able to change fireplace colours.
    • Love the Martha Stewart grade of Halloween recipes! Classy over campy Halloween themes.
    • As for costume and decor, I'd like it more fantasy/inspired historical themed versions—rather than a campy Halloween versions of the theme. For example I love all the occult packs, but I skipped Spooky Stuff as I thought it was just a bit too cheesy, though some items did interested me.

    I actually have another list of things I'd like to have in the game that included the Venetian masks from the Comedia del' Arte. I'll copy that over to this thread. I just didn't think about it but it does fit more so with a masquerade party but I'm not going to quibble about that.

    Love the idea of the masquerade! I think it was a LE statue in Sims 3 University Life, and masquerade was an option or what type of costumes people could wear.
