Sports pack ideas

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.

• 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

• CAS Suggestions (and pls don't go for full body outfuits:

  • Really needed exercise accesories:

 

  • Gym clothes: 
  • Professional athletic clothes:

Feel free to share your ideas.

  • I do like the different muscles you did because my sim maxed out their fitness and they look strong and have  muscles but now I chose for them extreme sports such as rock climbing and snowboarding, rock climbing I mean they are using their body so muscles should be gained even more.

    I wish sims could actually play soccer or football a bit instead of just kicking or passing the ball to one another. Maybe they could add hockey as a sport to the ice rinks, one goalie post and two or four players, not professional game, but how neighbourhood kids would play. I liked how in TS2 they had soccer, with goal net and sims could try to score. It felt more like soccer than just bouncing the ball on the knee. 

  • Objects ideas:

    Modular running course: A modular object that looks like the cheerleading mat and can be used to build a running course of any lenght and if its a circle or straight.

    • Home Gym objects:
    - Workout mat
    - Core sliders
    - Weight bar
    - Kettlebells
    - Resistance bands
    - Workout bench
    - Power rack
    - Jump rope
    - Medicinal ball

     

  • i searched for sport ideas and i love this idea, i made something similair but quite differently and for me it's Latin America related world but i'm okay with Africa world too

    we need more sport aspirations since we only have 3 of them at this moment
    the more people sees our ideas, the more they'll make an Expansion Pack for this

    we barely have swimming lots so i should include that in my ideas aswell

    can we have a sport pack? | EA Forums - 11878540 

    • I would love a sports pack like gymnastics, volleyball, tennis, golf, baseball, swim meets, synchronized swimming, diving competition, hockey, ice hockey. Track and Field. 
    • Like Olympic sports . 
  • I'd love to see more sports included and I'd love some of that sportswear in @Vyo4 's post! That looks so cool. We've been asking for a while so hopefully it's on the radar.

    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

    @thornwill 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.
