• Gameplay: Neighborhood Post Box
• Collection: Sims 4 World Postcards

Mailbox subcategory

There are plenty of Mailboxes in the game that are needlessly overcrowding the Miscellaneous Appliances subcategory. Lets give Mailboxes their own proper subcategory in Appliances.

Objects by Function > Appliances > Mailboxes

Benefits

• Player search convenience
• Clearly defined subcategory
• Clear out the Miscellaneous Appliances subcategory

IDEA: A Mailbox for Each World

Each DLC World should come with its own themed mailbox. Mailboxes are tangible pieces of the world that when placed on the home lot makes the house feel truly a part of its surrounding environment. Mailboxes are the perfect finishing touch to building in a brand new DLC world.

Currently we have:

1. Oasis Springs Mailbox
2. Ol Rusty Mailbox
3. Willow Creek Mailbox
4. [CD] Meow Mailbox
5. [CD] Postman Beware
6. [DPLE] Happy Home Mailbox
7. [DU] Posta Postina Wall Mounted Mailbox
8. [GT] Old Country Mailbox
9. [GT] The Unassuming Neighbor Mailbox
10. [GTW] Out of this World Mailbox
11. [S] Festively-Fashioned Mailbox
12. [SE] The SnailBox Mailbox
13. [W] Woodsy Mailbox
14. [FR] Lonely Cluster Mailbox
15. [FR] Rural Cluster Mailbox
16. [FR] Industrial Cluster Mailbox
17. [LS] In Wall Mailbox
18. [BH] Send It, Send It Mailbox
19. [EBN] Moss & Message Mailbox

Consider making themed mailboxes for:

1. [AA] Wooden Wall Mounted
2. [CoL] Potted Mailbox in Flowers
3. [CoL] Cottagecore Painted Wall Mounted - flowers, chicks, bunnies, mushrooms
4. [GF] Mid-Century Modern Wall Mounted
5. [GF] Stucco Mailbox
6. [GRO] Brick Arch Mailbox
7. [GRO] Painted Family Wall Mounted - stickfigure family, kids art
8. [HR] Wooden Ranch Post Mailbox - plain and cow-print receptacle
9. [LD] Cast Aluminum Postal Box
10. [HSY] Hartford Post Mailbox
11. [IL] Dock Post Mailbox
12. [IL] Sea Bracket Mailbox - sea turtle, starfish, dolphin, mermaid, seahorse, palm tree
13. [ECO] Upcycled Pallet Mailbox

Game Packs

Gameplay: Neighborhood Mailboxes

Populate worlds with functional, interactive public mailboxes scattered within each neighborhood.

• British red Mailbox
• USPS blue Mailbox
• Correos Post Box

Functionality

• Pay Bills
• Neighborhood Stories
• Send Out Mail
  • Love Letter
  • Faux Break-up Letter
  • Charity Donation
  • Postcards - Sims 4 Worlds Collection
  • [AA] Greeting Cards

Gameplay: Sims 4 Worlds Postcard Collection

Interact with a Neighborhood Mailbox in any world and choose “Send a Postcard”.

Neighborhood Mailbox > Send a Postcard

This will send a new World Postcard back to your home lot and provide a unique way to add Sims 4 DLC World Postcards into the game. Each DLC world, including Destination Worlds, will have its own Postcard to collect.

To be more adventurous, include a new Postcard for each neighborhood to highlight that neighborhood’s feature attraction. This simple gameplay addition lets players explore and interact with each neighborhood of a world. For example:

• [HSY] Jasper Prescott statue (Prescott Square)
• [HSY] Frank Flying Womp Womp (Rockridge Heights)
• [HSY] Carnival of Plumbite Cove

NOTE: Some worlds (Brindleton Bay) already have Postcards added in [MFPSP] My First Pets Stuff, perhaps add a new variety for these worlds for the Mailbox Postcard collection.

Thank you for considering my suggestions and ideas.
