Suggestion: Baking Stuff Pack

If they do make a baking stuff pack that makes baking a base game skill, they should finally reclassify cakes as baking. That is really annoying that you "cook" a cake instead of bake it, though since baking is currently locked behind the purchase of Get To Work, and cakes are crucial for manually aging up sims in base game, I get why it is the way it is now. But I think making a stuff pack centered around baking could help them fund the shift of the baking skill to be being base game. And making it base game would address this annoying fact that you cook cakes in Sims 4 instead of bake them. And if they added in a lot of stuff connected with the baking skill like new recipes, build/buy items, etc. could help make the pack attractive to players who already have the skill via Get To Work which would bring in more money for EA. If they don't see the money in an idea, it would be more difficult to convince them to go and do it.

I agree singing should be base game as well. They mention in all the base game showers that they add to the singing skill, but then currently you have to buy a whole expansion pack, City Living to get that skill. I want my sims to be able to sing in the shower without having to buy a full expansion pack that I am not sure I would otherwise use to do that.

I like the idea of adding recipes from all over the sims worlds for baking into a pack like this. If they added in several new recipes that were unique to this pack it could help justify this pack's existence for reasons other than Get To Work is too expensive for just one skill.

That's what I'm thinking. Photography became base game because of Moschino Stuff Pack, but it also added in stuff that was unique to that pack that you couldn't get in Get To Work. I think they could do something similar with baking.

I would really like a bakery geared towards baking bread not cakes. With a big wood fired stone oven for baking. The oven could be used to make pizza too, or even to glaze the ceramic pots, but you could make all kind of breads with it, baguettes, focaccia, ciabatta, sourdough, potato bread, etc. 

I agree. 📣 Baking for Base Game! 

Then we can actually bake a cake, instead of cook a cake.

There have been a lot of player requests for Baking to be included as a Base Game skill. Doing so wouldn't diminish GtW in the slightest since that pack has an entire Retail System, 3 Active Careers, plus Aliens, as it's main exclusive features.

(Similar Note 🎵: Singing should also be a Base Game skill.)

Creating a baking-centric item pack is a logical, accessible, popular, and realistic idea for EA. It addresses a real-world need without forcing players to purchase a full expansion just for a specific skill.

Yes! More stuff packs centered on cooking, baking foods from all over the sims worlds.

Cooking is a lucrative business in the Sims 4.

When sims eat the foods they love they tend to get fat...and they always come back for more.

Your athletic trainer or yoga zen guru comes into play if you don't eat the ice cream cheat. 

Edit: the game is all about Connections. 

Connecting gameplay with all the DLC we have in the sims 4.

I feel like if they did this they would have to make baking base game, like what happened with photography. If they made the stuff pack worth it by adding enough content it could work.
