I want to discuss your hopes and wishes for a Hotel expansion pack in Sims 4!
Let‘s do a wishlist:
Room service I want to be able to order food to my room using room service
Functional elevators
Hotels need to have elevators with actual animations of Sims going inside. Also elevators should be a new WooHoo spot like in Sims 2. Elevators could also be an entire object you can place like a two-story elevator or three-story elevator.
Extra Large aquarium tanks I would love more luxurious hotel lobby items like a large aquarium (like Sims 2 Apartment Life) where we can display the fishes we have caught (like with smaller aquariums in Sims 4)
What are your ideas for a hotel expansion pack? Reply below!
Instead of one new world (usually having 3 neighborhoods) I’d rather wish for 3 small destination worlds, consisting of one neighborhood.
Hotel types: Based on the facilities, there could be different hotel classes (star system) and room types. Accordingly, the stay is more comfortable.
Hostel with shared rooms, bed bugs, locker, rooftop bar
Bed and breakfast or retro motel with thin walls, hourly hotel, bad coffee
Traditional housing like ryokan
Up to luxury resort with spa, room service, suite with own chef, room service, shuttle, ...
Reasons to stay: not only vacationing could be a reason to stay in a hotel: business trips (offsite, research), hourly hotel with the affair, school trip, honeymoon, bachelor farewell, shelter, ...
Own a hotel: not only visit but also be the owner and manager similar to the restaurant expansion pack.
advertising, setting prices
checking guests in, taking them to their rooms
hire employees
Get there: usually traveling doesn’t play a big role in Sims, but could also become a thing like:
They did a dating app after we asked, THIS NEXT PLEASE.
I don't really want another world like Sulani because I don't feel like you can't get far away from the actual world and still have the same vibe without it feeling like a copy and paste of Sulani. I don't really know what kind of world I want because these are so applicable to different worlds that there isn't one specific vibe.
Maybe it could work like owning a retail shop but maybe with a way to work as a maid or a caterer and not just being a manager.
Businesses & Hobbies pack gave me an idea and it's not finished yet but i DID finished the first and the second floor with the hotel pack idea
i know it's not the best and the ground floor isn't finished (i'm thinking about placing a swimmingpool or things to do for little kids) but i'm thinking about a small bedroom (i wish we got a small fridge instead of a big one unless i'm not looking right) with so little items, small bathroom and a small balcony
a spa so you can relax, some kind of a club with karaoke, a bar with a library and sport (i wish we had more fitness items)
and of course an restaurant you can grab some yourself, i tried doing drinks so you can grab one too but i kind of failed it since it gives too much space for my taste
my idea will be "Dine Out", "Get Together", "City Living", "Vintage Glamour", "Moschino", "For Rent" and "Businesses & Hobbies" combined
and in a hotel room we should get a "lot challenge" (NOT simply living) so it disable grabbing food automatically and you don't have wi-fi in a hotel room unless you visit a library (or lobby room)
i should probably create a lobby room or something so you can relax and do your own thing and order pizza and fries or something too
some small shops you can buy some items like clothes and bag shopping for examble
a photoshoot for 1 sim only, as a couple and/or as a family
just like a few worlds some events pops-up incase your sims wants to go there and maybe even form a club or something (even if it's temporary) except these pop-ups stays when on vacation only
but these are my ideas for a hotel pack (doesn't have to be that big but i admit some lot types should be like 65x65 big)
i have to brainstorm myself what to do with the ground floor
