I would love to see a new exp pack or stuff pack with big camping cars / so the sims would live in them and travel the worlds/map. Camping car adventure kind of pack.
[SalixCat - Edited thread title for clarity.]
@Patizlle I had a similar idea for this, a pack maybe titled Travel & Trade. It would basically support a nomadic lifestyle (and Personality Trait) where you live out of a camper and don't wish to be stuck on the Home Lot. Your Sim would develop whims to travel to different lots, neighborhoods, maps and trade their wares. They'd become tense if they're stuck in one place for too long.
Originally thought this would be good for a Fortune Telling game pack. Your Sims would live out of a Caravan, choose the style of a traditional wagon or modern camper. Refresh the woodworking table to include more wares to trade. Allow the Selling Table to snap to the Caravan, upgrade with an awning. Other trades that would snap to the Caravan include the Fortune Telling table, Seance Table, Sabacc Game Table, Guitar Busking setup, etc.
I like this idea. Would hopefully be possible to park your mobile home on any community lot, maybe on common hood ground as well. They might still need a basic home lot, but I would not min that. They could still go for a van trip for a few days without actually changing home address.

I love the idea of a nomadic lifestyle pack, but it seems like connecting it with fortune telling would run afoul of a lot of negative racial stereotypes against Rroma people, wouldn't it?
I'm sorry for my suggestion of Fortune Telling for this Camper pack idea. I was imagining a Sightseer Seer. I don't want to risk the misrepresentation and stereotyping of the Roma culture. My apologies for derailing the discussion of the OP. I'd like to correct my error.
Instead of Nomadic, maybe Free Spirit would be a better name for this type of lifestyle and trait. An appliance to consider for a pack like this could be a Portable Grill - or maybe the Camper itself has a build-in stove? or could be upgraded with one with enough Handiness Skill.
Have free-spirited traits and aspiration for young adult and adult… a trait and aspiration for family road trip… maybe a gap year trait or a rebellion trait and general lifestyle aspiration for teens… a trait and lifestyle aspiration for elderly “grey nomads” would be nice as well. In Australia the term “grey nomad” refers to people of a mature age, usually retired or semi-retired or working casual jobs along the way; permanently or semi-permanently living their life on the road in a motorhome or campervan.
Cross-pack possibilities are virtually endless. The sim could pay a ‘shipping fee’ or ‘travelling costs fee’ to move the van from one world to the next.
I would love a van pack especially if we could expand the theme to choice of purchasing new vans or buying older vans that may need work on motor, chassis, paint and fitout…with extra options of annex areas or rooftop/trayback bedroom tent for truck or ute …. The possibilities of this pack are very exciting and I would definitely purchase something along these themes.
i have good news for you, you can vote with 9 Expansion Pack ideas (you can only vote for 2 things though) and one of them is a car adventure pack https://simscommunity.info/2024/09/19/sims-4-expansion-packs-survey/ and https://simscommunity.info/2025/02/19/sims-4-expansion-packs-survey-2025/ except this version has 7 Expansion Pack ideas
so i think they are thinking of making an Expansion Pack based on your ideas
