historical themed world expansions

The diversity of expansion packs is increasing as far as style and architecture. However, it would be nice to see worlds that reflect more diverse time periods. Here are my suggestions.

  1. Victorian England pack: a pack featuring a world styled after Victorian England. The main features of the pack would include: Victorian style clothing and build items, careers, activities, and social events. The key objects would include: gramophones, functional telephones, functional carriages, clay pigeon shooting, and croquet. The carriage is a form of transportation. However, a horse (horse ranch) must be hitched to the carriage to operate, and sims can direct the horse to drive around, drive here, and use map travel UI features directly from the carriage. Carriages will need maintenance. Carriages will also have multiple seats. There will be a seat for the coachman, who steers the horse, and other sims can sit in the carriage seats. Clay pigeon shooting machines will fire clay pigeons into the air and sims can shot them (increase fun motives). Croquet will be an outdoor activity for both adults and children (increase fun and social motives). Functional landline telephones (table and wall mounted) will be animated and incorporate all the phone UI features. They will come in a variety of models including rotary, retro, and cordless. Gramophones will operate like stereos. The following careers should be available: clock artisan, seamster, governess, and tobacco master. Clock artisans will utilize the handiness skill to craft wall clocks, grandfather clocks, and pocket watch items. They will function as alarm clocks and pocket watches will be portable. Seamsters will sew and embroider clothing items, which can be sold in retail stores. Governesses will act as private tutors for child and teen sims. Sims can opt out of attending school and instead be privately tutored by a governess. Tobacco masters will craft tobacco products using tobacco harvestables and craft smoking pipes and humidor boxes using harvestable ingredients. The tobacco pipes will function similarly to the bubble hooka. However, tobacco pipes will be small, portable objects. The key social activities/evets will be a debutant ball and etiquette after school activity. Female teen sims can enroll in the etiquette after school activity and practice the new etiquette skill, which will teach them social graces. They can make their debut into society by attending or organizing a debutant ball event.
  2. Medieval Europe pack: a pack featuring Medieval Europe. The main features of the pack will include: medieval style clothing and build items, appliances, careers, and activities. The key medieval objects will include: archery target, windmill, and distillery. Sims will be able to collect ingredients and use the woodworking table to craft bows and arrows. They can shot arrows at an archery target (fitness skill). Sims can also go on rabbithole hunting trips. They will return with cottage living wrapped cuts. The windmill will allow sims to process harvestables such as wheat and sugar cane into cottage living flour and sugar. The distillery will be an off the grid appliance (similar to the juice fizzing station) that will allow sims to craft medicinal cordial beverages. The main careers will include: blacksmith, knight, and maid. Blacksmiths will craft various items using an anvil and forge. These items can be sold in retail stores. Knights will be bodyguards that can stand guard, thwart burglars, and remove unwanted visitors from the lot. Maids will be the female equivalent of butlers. They will be live in servants and there will be 2 branches: chambermaid and ladies' maid. Chambermaids will focus on cooking and cleaning duties. Ladies' maids will focus on attending to the lady of the house by doing laundry, repairing clothing, assisting with beauty regimes, and acting as a companion. The main activities will include: jousting, axe throwing, and barrel rolling. Jousting is performed on a functional horse obstacle (horse ranch). Sims will mount their horse and charge at a jousting target while holding a jousting lance. The aim is to hit the target and remain mounted. Axe throwing is self - explanatory and will utilize the fitness skill. Barrel rolling is also self - explanatory and will also be a fitness activity. 
  3. WWI Australian pack. A pack featuring a queen-anne styled Australian world. The main features will include: airplanes, bushwalking, aboriginal arts and crafts, interactive wildlife, and Australian cuisine. Airplanes will be a form of transportation. Sims can fly around, fly here, and use map travel UI features on airplanes. Airplanes will require maintenance (handiness skill). Bushwalking will be an activity that functions similarly to hiking and mountain excursions. on bushwalks, sims can increase their cultural skills, harvest medicinal plants, and interact with wildlife. New wildlife animals will include kangaroos, koalas, and ostriches. They can be befriended like cottage living wildlife. Aboriginal arts and crafts will showcase aboriginal culture. Sims can tell stories, craft instruments, and make art. Australian cuisine is self - explanatory.
  4. Refresh of the cottage living expansion pack. I'd like to see the following features added: a dairy churn for crafting homemade ingredients such as butter and cream, a loom for weaving woolen fabric, a spinning wheel for crafting balls of yarn, a drying rack for making preserved food items, and a tailor career. The tailor career will allow sims to weave woolen fabrics and craft tweed clothing and felt hats. These items can be sold in a retail store.

  • I wouldn't mind a Bridgerton like EP shoot I think I'll play that world more then the modern World imagining all the scandals...I mean I'm a prominent lady of class and don't speak of such nonsense...however. 

    Medieval off with their heads!!!

    I would like an Australian world. 

  • This would be refreshing and fun for a change. I enjoyed that show, Bridgerton! That would be perfect or a medieval world.

    The DLC has to be new gameplay.

  • yes to all of this

    i like your first idea

    i say yes to the medieval europe based pack

    yes to a Australian based world with wild animals and wild stuff, we have lots of stuff in The Sims 4 but we don't have wild stuff you mentioned

    as for the Cottage Living refresh i totally agree, it's my least favourite Expansion Pack because it's so boring in my opinion, i love the CAS items and B/B items, i also love the enviroment but gameplay wise it's boring for my taste (maybe it's because i'm not the animal kind of gameplayer)

    i found something that may match with the Cottage Living Pack

    Grocery & Garden Stuff or Game Pack | EA Forums - 1878524 

    i'm sure some can be in a basegame update and maybe in a Season refresh but most of them match with "Cottage Living" perfectly😊😊👍

    Cottage Living is giving nature things vibes and this link match with your ideas with the Cottage Living pack refresh perfectly
