Sims4 and Africa ?
first of all!
thank you for taking your time to even consider my notification eventhought ,you have billions of peoples notifying you!
I just recieved your respons from my feedback of the sims specially (hte snowy escape trailer) on twitter,I added some idea for your next pack and here is my idea first of all! thank you for taking your time to even consider my notification eventhought ,you have billions of peoples notifying you
my name is gloria makamu and i’m a Native african from the country of congo (we speak french over there so please,don't mind my bad english .And a big fan of the sims. I'm 27 and I have been a fan of the sims from the sims1 to the sims4 today .
my little idea-.
A country from the continent of Africa.
I know that EA had already an african world with Egypt in the past with the sims3.
and I'm definitely sure that EA would have the talent and the capacity that it takes to make a world based on a country from the continent of africa.
I was thinking that, it would be a great idea to add another world like the snowy escape but this time in a more warm and equatorial style.
I was thinking about a country in africa like: ghana,nigeria,ethiopia even congo
Sim could go to a tourist hotel next to a city of the country which is next to a forest for safari purposes with a mythical african .
stories-
stories about the mythical creatures of Africa like (trolls,voodoo dolls, good spirits vs bad spirits,curses ect) and even (treasure hunt and even love stories like; a princess or a king falling in love with our sims for quests.
the player who don’t want diversity-
for them,you could include new animation for toddler,kids and teen
make teen look more like preteen for exemple with the typical teen behavior,walkstyle,
teens living in the house for a secret party and getting scolded if they get caught by their parents or the police!kids trying to copy their classmate,kid hugging their parent or even parent trying to explain a teen sim about adulthood and teen turning red or (happy or embarrassed ) based on the relationship of their parent
world-
a world mixed with one of the most popular cities of the country of the continent of Africa like (countries like : Ghana,Ethiopia,Congo,Nigeria). The city would be next to the forest and inside the forest live the “tribal locals'' because not all african are into modern life since some of them keep a deep connection to the spirits and their ancestors and nature),the same mechanism that the “sims2 castaway” had.
animals
world animals could just be some non played npc like : hyppos,lion,crocodiles or even monkey),like we used to have in “ the sims2 castaway).
sims could either get killed if they come too close.they could get their lives spared if the sims have some “animal treats” after finishing a task?
socialisation-
Sims could marry or live in the world with a local only if their relationship either hit “high friendship or high romantic relationship'' or even after successfully completing a task. (they could even be hated by the local if they disrespected the tradition of the local 🙂. like : statues or sacred templet or even dishonoring a (king,princess,prince,queen)
they could also get curses from fake witch? and meeting good voodoo witches (it's pretty common in the african culture to deal with scammers. oh and they could go to a hair salon and have "braiding animation" for the sim if they feel like having a hairstyle?(you could also add bad hair day if the sim didn't learn correctly how to braid hair ^^
the sim could learn the traditional dance(from the country)
and even give a present to a local there if they feel like marrying one of them or even marry a princess from the country and for that they would need to fulfil a task :D
sim could have their maid of honor have a traditional dance at their wedding (and ea could include traditional dance from asian culture and other world) as a bonus for peoples who aren't fan of african's cultures (like old mechanism that the sims2 had like “money exchange,cars(for the safari),animated action from a cashier (with money’s mesh added to the interaction of the sim to a cashier?)
sim could even have a Dan or NDA test to see if they have some roots from the locals( like ancestry) ? (even if you aren't a simmer of color in order to include everybody :D this way ,they could have a long lost cousin from that world?
activities-
learn traditional dance
going to a safari
treasure hunting
african festival (tattoos,hairstyle) (please don’t lock your hair…)
dance contest (the sim have to learn the dance perfectly or the local will make fun of them)
selling on the street (npc who are walking around while holding selling item) (you can just add a fake
arresting bad sim who wanna steel endangered animals or steel sacred statues from the (indigous locals)
going to the maki(it night club) we call night club “makis”
swim inside the river (fishing)
(going to the beach)
exploring haunted sacred grave or haunted houses
my final word =)
I don't expect you guys to do it but if you wanna add it to the south afrika world ,that would be nice. 🙂 but i definitely think that it would be beneficial for you guys to choose a country that is from the central part of africa because,it would be a first time for you and more challenging,letting peoples see that ,you can do better especially with a topic as hard as an african world,it would be revolutionary because even peoples like me who were born and raised in afrika know about the sims so,give it a try ,you have nothing to lose.I BELIEVE IN YOU! Even if you don’t do half of what I write down,as long that you include diversity,I have trust in you. Your company will gain more review and more positive reaction from peoples from other diversity,they will be your second best buyers .
