- Appliances: Create a Mailbox subcategory
- Objects: A Mailbox for every World
- 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:
- Oasis Springs Mailbox
- Ol Rusty Mailbox
- Willow Creek Mailbox
- [CD] Meow Mailbox
- [CD] Postman Beware
- [DPLE] Happy Home Mailbox
- [DU] Posta Postina Wall Mounted Mailbox
- [GT] Old Country Mailbox
- [GT] The Unassuming Neighbor Mailbox
- [GTW] Out of this World Mailbox
- [S] Festively-Fashioned Mailbox
- [SE] The SnailBox Mailbox
- [W] Woodsy Mailbox
- [FR] Lonely Cluster Mailbox
- [FR] Rural Cluster Mailbox
- [FR] Industrial Cluster Mailbox
- [LS] In Wall Mailbox
- [BH] Send It, Send It Mailbox
- [EBN] Moss & Message Mailbox

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.
