More Musical instruments in future packs?

Hello everyone,

So my question and speculation is really simple: Do you think we'll have more musical instruments in future packs?
As we know some people speculate a lot about a music band and a music pack but if I remember well, the previous games (sims 1, 2, 3) the musical instruments were Piano, Guitar, Drums, Bass, Synthesizer, Violin and the lazer intrument from into the future. So only Drums, Bass and Synthetizers are missing (knowing that The sims 3 didn't have synthesizers). We also had Organ Pipe and Dj Mixing (if we count that one) in the Sims 4.
So do you think we would have more than Drums and bass in the future or will it be these two only (if they even come)? And if so, What kind of instruments do you think we'll get? I hope we can have Saxophones; Harps; Accordéons; Djembés; Kayagum and more...

    Some Of The Musical Instruments You Have Had All Said Could Possibly Be Craftable As Well.

  • I think at this point, it's safe to say that nearly the entire community of Sims players would like more instruments. Particularly different kinds of instruments that make sense given what the game has already indicated as important values in this in-game world (jazz, particularly). I'd like to see a way not only for there to be bands, but jazz bands, and symphony orchestras. I also agree that it would be great if many of the musical instruments could be crafted (woodworking, robotics, etc.). Lastly, I think that The Sims team can really challenge themselves and their creativity to imagine something truly unique: an instrument that only exists in The Sims world, and that can only be played by Sims. Lean into the fact that The Sims isn't an exact mirror of reality, it's a fun reality, and imagine what kind of instrument might exist in that world. I'd love to see (and hear) what it would be.

    Wish: More musical instruments in The Sims (drums, flute, band instruments!) Sul Sul to the best The Sims team!✨

     🥰 It would be great if more instruments and music options were added to the game! Music is a big part of many sims' lives, and it would be great if they could express themselves more than just the piano, guitar, and violin. ✨

    My wish: 🥁 Drums (electric version would be nice too!) 🎶 Flute or other woodwinds 🎷 Saxophone / Trumpet 🪕 Banjo or ukulele It would also be great if Sims could form bands, train together and perform in different places - like clubs, parks or parties! It would bring community, joy and creativity to the game. 

    This could be "The Sims 4: Band Life" or "The Sims 4: Musical Vibes✨

    Honestly, I would prefer if they DIDN'T make it a pack. You shouldn't have to pay for something as basic as instruments.

    More instruments would be great, they need to come in kids sizes too. How cute would it be if we could have a work from home career teaching other Sims to play or a parent could teach their kid? I like doing that with the current instruments so new ones should work for kids too.

    I think bands would be fun, especially paired with Get Famous, hopefully they would let kids+ form them.

    Honestly, a band career and drums should be patched into base game as a freebie/update. New instruments could be added in part of regular packs (such as the Pipe Organ being a part of the Vampires pack). 

    I just IMHO don't know if an entire EP could or should be centralized around bands, instruments and music, maybe a GP or SP, but they haven't made those for a while.

    Otherwise, I think a band or music leaning pack should be "a part", but not the entire highlight of an EP. Like Sims 3 Late Night it had bands, and more instruments, but it was just a part of the pack—not the entirety pack. If a pack is based on a region it could have a notable instrument often used/played, if a pack is based on an era a similar idea, a pack based on a specific lifestyle... etc.

    I'd absolutely LOVE to have drum sets in the game! Let me make a band, dang it!
