Steampunk Prague Inspiration

I just got an idea for a new single neighborhood world with maybe 6 lots, 3 small, 2 medium and 1 large.

I got the idea while doing some steampunk inspired art and it reminded me of the Astronomical clock in Prague which has a steampunk style to it. What if there is a neighborhood based on Prague with a astronomical clock tower in the center. It'll be a chance for the Sims Team to bring Alchemist and Astronomer careers with steampunk style and maybe solarpunk style as well. Alchemists can get funky with mixing up medicines to sell to the sick and using other sims as test subjects for their lab potions to check for side effects, like a cough syrup that ends up making a sim burp bubbles instead. While, Astronomers try to foretell the future by looking at the stars and planets and even discover new stars that they can name.

    I love all your ideas. We can't have steampunk without a hot air balloon. 😁

    Absolutely this!

    Could then introduce Clockworking as a hobby skill. Sims could build different types of clocks, and in-game clocks could break and need repair.

    • Grandfather clocks
    • Cuckoo clocks
    • Chiming clocks
    • Pendulum clocks
    • Astronomical and Lunar clocks

    Expand to include other mechanical clockworks:

    • Automatons - Bubo The Owl, Zoltar Fortune Teller, The Writer
    • Music Boxes - Singing Bird, Ballerina, Carousel
    • Music Instruments
      • Barrel Organ (Organ Grinder) - [Cats & Dogs] stand on hind legs (training), dance to music
      • Calliope instrument / Wurlitzer Orchestrion
      • Player Piano
    • The Gold Ruberg's Wutzitdoozle
      • Pull the lever, something happens!
      • Push a button, another thing happens!
      • Turn that dial, uh, it does something else!
      • And lastly, it makes Toast.
        (Randomize outcomes and outputs)

     

    The Toy Maker machine could make a return! Crafts could include:

    • Wind-up Toys - Drummer Soldier, Cymbals Monkey, Jack-in-Box, Hopping Frog, Chatter Teeth
    • Whirligig Toys - Pinwheel, Spinning Top
    • Infant - Pop-Up Toys, Rattle
    • Toddler - See and Say, Xylophone, Drum, Tricycle
    • Dollhouses - new styles: Cottage, Chateau, Tudor, Spooky, Brownstone
    • Activities - Yo-yo, Kite
    • Office Desk Toys - Drinking Bird, Newton's Cradle, etc

     

    And finally a Hot Air Balloon outdoor activity to complete the Steampunk adventure.

    • Take Aerial photos
  • I must say that Astronomers don't predict the future, those are called Astrologers. But I like your take on Prague. Maybe they could expand also on the bartending and give us playable bartenders and ownable bars. Been to Prague and they have the best virgin mojitos there. 😁🙂
