Reoworking how packs should look
Expansion, game, stuff, kits.. theres too many and from a outside perspective it looks like EA is trying to find their identity. I feel that if there are to be different types of packs they would look something like this:
Expansion: A new world, new career, new outfits BB, gameplay and features and new animations.
World & Buy Pack: (equivilant to a Stuff Pack) Offers a new world and new BB example: Outdoor Retreat, Jungle Adventure, Strangerville, My Wedding Stories
CAS Pack: (equivilant to a Stuff Pack) Offers a new career and new CAS items example: Paranormal or a new Librarian, Bands etc.
Game Pack: Offers new gameplay that comes with new animations that can be used in any world with existing packs example. Dine out, Spa Day, Dream Home Decorator, Parenthood, Paranormal
Stuff Pack: Offers new features and new animations to enhance the gameplay example: Vintage Glamour, Moschino, Nifty Knitting, Laundry day, Bust the dust could have been a stuff pack there was so much that was left out.
Kits: Small packs that give a little something new that doesnt effect how the rest of the game is played. example: Kitchen clutter etc.
As a builder I would love to just purchase a new blank world. As a Canadian who doesnt play with occults having the option to buy a Canadian inspired world would be so lovely. There could be so many options and potentials with this. A lot of people purchased my wedding stories and werewolves just for a new world but didnt want the gameplay that came with it, i think having packs specifically for just CAS or just BB would really help the game feel rejuvinated when it starts to get stale. A lof of people are asking for an african inspired world too, I feel there is a lot of potential with just a world pack that is not getting the love it deserves. A lot of people are also blazing their world just to make Willow Creek look like a Northen Pacific world because the want and desire is there for it, another example would be a extension of Del Sol Valley, etc. Some people love playing in certain worlds but the same 9 lots can get repetitive, offering extensions to some of these worlds and even newer ones I could guarantee would be a hit with a lot of people!
I am a vanilla player and have been playing the sims1 since 2000. these are some of my ideas and feedback.
