I don't think a game pack could fully do it justice, but I think it could be perfect for a full expansion. It could add a new neighbourhood which has a bit of a 40's/50's city look to it, and adds clothing and furniture in that style as well. But also adds supersims as a new occult lifestate never seen before in the sims series, which has however flirted with the concept in every single game in the form of outfits, tv shows and all that.All supersims have core abilities they all share, and more can be obtained but all those extra abilities come with a drawback. You could give your Sim all of them, but that also means they'd have all the drawbacks. It's always a sensible drawback, like a Sim with super strength breaking everything that can be broken when angry, unable to hold back. A sim with firepowers can't use them in rain or when wet, and they get angry when wet though can clean themselves with a purifying flame if they don't want to shower. A sim with mind control powers could at times get more than they bargain for when reading other sims minds, getting debuffs from seeing awkward memories or other stuff they wish they didn't know about. Most of the extra powers could also be obtained through tech that can be constructed, so Sims could also be a powerless hero using technology. Technology would have the downside of requiring maintenance otherwise it might break if used with a negative effect. Like a sim's mind controll thing blowing up could randomise their own personality traits, and the thing giving fire powers could put them on fire. A new costume category would be added to the game, which can be used recreationally or as a superhero or villain costume. The technology to use powers could be exclusive to the costume, your sim can't do it in other outfits. There would be plenty of new costumes to match, but everything already in the game that fits the theme of costume would show up here too. Unique to the costume is that you Sim is named by an Alias if wearing it. For example if Clark Kent wears it, he's Superman and will be referenced as Superman in all instances. But if his identity becomes known, he'd show up as Clark kent, Superman when wearing it, showing the player it's no secret. That would mainly matter for sims in the new active superhero or super villain career though, drawing all kinds of attention they might not want, though depending on traits they may not mind. But any Sim could use the costume in other ways, like a father dressing up as Santa and his kids believing it if the secret identity is kept. There would be self employed super hero or villain work which would be a rabbit hole thing. The hero can at any time disappear a while to fight crime. Could be combined with a career. They work on their own hours. But there's also two new active careers where your Sim is part of either a team of heroes or a team of villains. Each has headquarters where other heroes or villains hang out and work on projects, train and all that, and might also disappear briefly during their time there to fight crime as a rabbit hole thing. Not all would be rabbit hole stuff though, You could have Sims fight in a new superhero brawl option. Can be for friendly sparring, but also a battle that ends with the loser being captured and jailed for a few days until they escape.And the powers can be used in all kinds of ways, like a Super strong Sim could lift all kinds of stuff to show off, including other sims. A sim with ice powers could also use it for sculptures or creating furniture from it, or keeping their home covered in snow during any season. A sim with mind control powers can make other sims do stuff, but can also learn their secrets. A sim who can fly can show off, can also go explore space and have adventures similar to the rocket adventures, bringing back items and maybe discovering the alien world. Just saying it has a lot of potential. Could also be fun to see a super sim try to keep it a secret while being a family person. Or maybe the seemingly sweet home maker mother having an evil lair under the house that she tries to keep her children out of and her clueless husband could just be off to his day job. It also offers room for children playing superheroes, wanting their autograph, admiring a specific hero, being scared of a villain or liking a villain if they have the mean or evil trait. Especially geek sims could geek out over seeing a hero or villain.

@thornwill This is a fantastic idea and would add so much to The Sims game!GameplayIf performing a heist (Villain) or preventing a heist (Hero) could be coded the same way as Jungle Adventure temple runs, but with the backdrop of a city setting, a Superhero pack could be very fun.One could break-into rooms, bypass security traps, fight guards/henchmen, use the hacking skill to disable traps. A pack like this could also benefit Secret Agent and Criminal base game careers - developing them to a more Active Career and offering active "Work from Home" scenarios.Playing as a Superhero, you would break into the Criminal Underground to make arrests, or stop a Burglary with the same House Call interaction found in Get To Work.Playing as a Villain, you would break into the City Bank or City Hall for simoleons, blackmail, steal building plans or personal records. You may have to combat a Superhero if an alarm is tripped.Martial Arts & Discipline SkillMartial Arts would be a great addition to the Sims. Performing Katas would be nice to see as a way to build a new Skill: Discipline.Child Sims could be included in Martial Arts as an After School Activity and perform Katas.The average citizen Sim who have leveled up in Belts could participate in an Active Sporting Tournaments (please not a rabbithole). Contests could include: Kata, Point Fighting, Grappling/Wrestling/Jiu Jitsu, etc.Burglars, Criminals & SupervillainsI would highly suggest including the option to be a Burglar or Supervillain.Join the Criminal base game career and have new scenarios for the "Work from Home" option. Tasks could include breaking into Sims homes and stealing from the new Floor Safe Box and Wall Safe objects, or hacking their home computer. Could include a cute 5-Level Lock-Picking Skill to use on doors and Safe Boxes.Join the Villain Branch base game career (Secret Agent) would work on a larger scale by breaking into Jewelry Stores or stealing from the City Bank. More criminal prospects could include stealing records or building plans from City Hall or a Large Corporation. Cross-Pack could involve stealing from the Vaults of Celebrities [Get Famous].The average citizen Sim could upgrade their personal Safe Boxes with various security measures. Only by placing the Safe Box Floor/Wall object on your lot would it toggle the option to spawn a random Burglar event. A Superhero would then swoop in and save the day!

I think it would be cool if they came out with a Superheroes and Supervillains pack!You get to choose your powers and costumes. Of course they would create a world where these super powered sims live and have superpowered children as well and pets too.What does everyone think of this? Offer suggestions in the comments.

I've been asking for a Superhero pack too (but I think my old thread is buried here somewhere) so yes!I don't think fighting crime should be a rabbit hole, though. I think it's the perfect opportunity to add small crimes, even some humorous ones, to the game. Like the classic burglar. Could also catch Kleptomaniacs in the act, so it would give us more consequences for that traits. I think it's also an opportunity to bring back police, especially if you play a Supervillain, and the Get to Work detective career could get an update to fit in with the new pack.Having crime and police return to The Sims would really help to fill in those missing gaps of consequences.

@thornwill and @Vyo4 great ideas from both as usual! I'd love to see this in the game. I've gone back and forth on the idea for a while.I'm currently building with the For Rent pack on an afternoon and watching back the Avengers movies on another screen and it's been on my mind all week. I'm designing a pink flowery home and thinking I'd love to design a superhero lair! 🦸We have occults with powers so why not superheroes?

Supervillain goals are funnier when they’re over the top:
Take over the TV screens of the city to hypnotize the residents
Vandalize the moon (requires Rocketship)
Blowup the moon (build a large laser)
Change the color of the sun
Block out the sun entirely
Open a portal into another dimension
Takes over the city’s water supply, anyone who bathes turns purple

omg your ideas are also amazing
my thoughts of a superhero vs supervillain is the zombie kind of pack the villain turn other sims into zombies untill like (almost) each sims have turned into a zombie untill there are superheroes to save the day and stop or defeat the villain to turn sims into zombies (it's in the comments in here)
i love the others ideas aswell too

I suppose I've always associated Zombies with a dystopian survival world versus a Superhero pack.
Would love to see the return of Zombies in The Sims. Your suggestions offer a good roadmap on how to go about expanding Zombie gameplay beyond previous Sims iterations. I hope Zombies get handled the same way as Werewolves by keeping Zombies contained to their respective map unless toggled otherwise in Game Options. Surviving a Zombie outbreak and finding a cure could be so much fun.

I just have an another thought on this
How about Angel vs Devil as the Superheroes vs Supervillains pack?
Atleast 2 aspirations which are the opposite from each other, 1 in the deviance and the other in location category
Careers that match with the pack idea
New skills
A new world you need to survive a bit similar to Strangerville
New TV option you keep track about what happens in this certain world
Training option
Angels and Devils having skill trees
I can't think of anything else but these are what i came up with
This is Superheroes vs Supervillains related so i decided to share my ideas here instead

sailorleontine I don't know if they'd ever add proper angels and demons since they're totally religious content, but this pack could easily add angelic and demonic heroes and villains, as there's much characters like that:
Angelic heroesDemonic heroesDemonic heroesDemonic heroesAngelic villainsDemonic villainsDemonic villains

The aspirations along with traits should totally work as a way to set the supersims on a good or bad path.

Also some basic powers could be combed to create specific angel/demons abilities, like healing and light manipulation for Angels and fire manipulation and emotional/mental suggestion for Demons.
