@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.
- Moozilla132 years agoSeasoned Ace@Vyo4 Cute idea! It would work well for historical gameplay, too, which I enjoy, so I'd absolutely vote for this pack.

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?- Moozilla132 years agoSeasoned Ace@sionnachsSkulk They would definitely need to be careful of that, although fortune telling can be presented in a way that's independent from the stereotype of the Roma "gypsy." It would all come down to how they packaged it (which admittedly would involve navigating some precarious pitfalls that I'm not confident they'd manage well). So with that in mind, I have to agree that probably the best approach if they were to create a pack like this would be to focus primarily on the logistics of the lifestyle and simply provide players the tools to create their own interpretations of a nomadic community (or individual nomad sims).

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.
