Sports pack ideas

Question

Sports is a theme that needs improvement in the game and a very global thing.

• New athletic career branches: Swimmer, Gymnast, etc.

• Activities: Cricket, Golf, Tennis, Volley, Martial arts, Gymnastics, etc.

• CAS: Sports uniforms, athletic wear, etc.

• Home gym items:

- Workout mat
- Core sliders
- Dumbbells
- Kettlebells
- Resistance bands
- Workout bench
- Power rack
- Exercise bike
- Jump rope
- Medicinal ball

• Neighborhood ideas: South Africa/Brazil/Greece

• Healthy Living aspiration (Base Game).

• Paralympics: Prosthetic limbs (BG and Exclusive)

• Introduce Diets and Health Conditions (BG and Exclusive).

• Biotypes: Each one has a singular fat and muscle gaining/loss functionality.

• Different types of abs to show muscled bodies diversity:
- 4 packs
- 8 packs
- 10 packs
- Assymetric
- Split

• Body upgrade: Realistic body muscles with External obliques, vastus lateralis, trapezius and deltoids muscles.

• Located muscle/fat definition: We need a way to have certain parts more muscular/fat than others (this is very common irl). Maybe a subcategory on the body category full with sliders for general body parts (like Arms, legs and torso) or specific ones (like neck, chest, abs, upper arm, thighs, etc.)

Reference: TS2 (PS2) Castaway body proportions sliders

Feel free to share your ideas.

@thornwill&nbsp;Great idea! A South African inspired world would be fun to explore and experience.Sports is a great community activity and has been a much desired request from the Sims Community. A focus on sports training would be a fun new way to use the Fitness skill and experience new activities.I like your idea of adding Gymnastics and Competitive Swimming. I'd propose a Running Track too!There could be a Stadium lot where Sims could host Tail-gate parties in the parking lot. Then they could jump into the Stadium to watch the game. There could be a "Big Game" event where Sims could celebrate the victory afterward in the parking lot.

Been thinking more about this Sports Pack idea, @thornwill , along with your other post suggesting a clinical objects Stuff pack. I wonder if both could be achieved in a single Sports-themed expansion pack? By combining Physical Therapy & Sports Training, both of these goals could be met.

When one pushes themselves to the limit in sports, injury is going to happen. Not just sore muscles, but maybe a Sim twisted their ankle doing Gymnastics, or developed Runner's Knee and has a limp. Here's an opportunity to focus on another important part of Sports Training: Healing and recovery.

Physical Therapy offers the chance to include another requested game mechanic: Canes, crutches, walkers. These devices are necessary for healing and therapy.

A Sports & Physical Therapy pack would open the door for a Ramp build tool. Each stair level translates to a 1x1 tile ramp incline. Ramps would not only benefit injured Sims, but Sims aged Elder, Infant, and Toddler. Future gameplay could use ramps, such as Baby Strollers, Wheelchairs, Mobility Scooters.

A Sports & Therapy pack could introduce a new Community Lot Type: Athletic Center. Here sports-related activities are sought out and performed autonomously. On-site NPCs could be a Physical Therapist and a Sports Trainer.

Sports Training could include:

Agility Ladder
Vertical Jump
Pull-Up Bar
Squat Rack
Indoor Cycling machine - low impact therapy
Elliptical Trainer - low impact therapy
Jump Rope:
- Basic jump, Child+
- Running in Place
- High Knees
Treadmill Update:
- Therapy slow pace
- Walk Mode
- Sprint
- Powerwalk, Growing Together

Physical Therapy could include:

Checking reflexes
Range of Motion
Measuring Height
Clearing for Competition
Strength tests
Agility tests
Physical rehabilitation
Floor stretches

I'd love to see more sports included and I'd love some of that sportswear in @Vyo4&nbsp;'s post! That looks so cool. We've been asking for a while so hopefully it's on the radar.
