Hi!
I'd like to send my suggestion for a new expansion pack: Music Life.
Some ideas for the pack:
Making a band and playing together and other interactions like we had on Sims 3, making jam sessions and something like that.
Playable musician career (like the police, medical, etc), where you must go to practice sessions, concerts, etc. You should choose between band member (guitar and singing) ou orchestra musician (violin and piano)
Music festivals
Recording studio, where you can record an album and earn money (like happens composition on violin and piano) and maybe win prizes like Simmy Awards (the The Sims' Grammy)
More musical instruments (bass, drums, sax, cello...)
Just some ideas for some future packs.

5. I miss the drums.
6. We could have sims singing on microphone and another accompanying on piano and have a real jazz night at the lounge
7. We could have concert venues and charge admission on ticket machines.

There is also several types a bands that can introduce e
Like country
Like pop
Jazz
Rock
Gospel
Choir
Orchestra bands
We could get live gigs and rabbithole gigs.We probably perform In parks or record are self's online for e posture
Maybe a new venue could be concert hall.A place where sims can learn instruments.Watch performance and perform by themselves or a band.
They can also be new dances

Definitely need bands, and more actual performance opportunities, in general. Between TS3 Late Night and Showtime, we had a lot of creative opportunities for sims. I really liked taking my solo performers to venues and actually playing a concert or other stage gig, working them up to larger venues, putting together bands that could jam and perform together. If we could get that and fairies in TS4, I’d be a happy player.

The world could be a Korean world or maybe base on Nashville Tenesse.
I imagine bands and singers can be a career you can assign yourself and maybe your bands can be a bit like club system.
The more exposure the more perks you unlock and gain in popularity.

I would love to have a singer career that didn't require a mod. Right now I use Adeepindigo's entertainer career overhaul.

Speaking on behalf of the sims 4 community, we would love to have a game pack that enables the formation of bands, or at the very least the action to 'jam together' on musical instruments. If there was a 'band together' game pack that allows jam sessions, integrating skill or style based compatibility between musicians within jam sessions would be really interesting. By adding a 'jam together' action, depending on the skills of the musicians, the quality of the jam session and band success is impacted. Practicing together should impact success of the band along with marketing and reputation. If there is an audition, there could be criteria for the style/genre, reputation, skill of potential member like in sims social clubs. There are a lot of American blue grass, rock and roll, jazz, jam bands, noise rock and alternative bands that provide inspiration and tracks for this.

So I would like songs if we get a band like playing on electric guitar and other instruments
Barracuda, I love Rock N Roll, Bad Reputation, Thundershock, CherryBomb, Nothing else matters and etc name more suggestions.

A band pack would be so fun I think. Different genres like jazz, rock, pop, edm with the dj booth or something.
- peeteydebonair8 months agoNew Novice
I have been saying this for YEARS. You could make a game just on being in a band and all that goes along with it. The drama, the jealousy, the fights, the substances, rehab, recording albums, the gigs, songwriting, groupies, record labels, all the rad instruments that could be in stuff packs, using your own music that you've created on GarageBand or Logic Pro that your created band could play....It would f'ing ROCK.

I have often mentioned a band and also one that could have a lead singer , maybe it will happen but EA seem to like having clubs just for dancing and dates or restaurants , none of which really work that well
Sims 3 did groups really well as far as they went . It could also have the group getting gigs and becoming famous

I hope that this is the year of the band. 🎸🙂
- Feevee137 months agoNew Ace
As in Ts3, we need the musc bands! I really miss this feature. Paying music together and add for different styles, I hope you will consider this. It had an opportunity to bring in HSY. You make your band, practice together and maybe you can play at the festival on the stage and you can get famous or do gigs in weddings, bars, lounges, high school contest…
do you miss the bands too? it was my favourite feature in the sims

Just a quick suggestion/ idea that been floating around in my head for a while. I think that the ability to create a band would be awesome. We already have musical instruments and the ability to sing so why not add drums and other instruments and different clothes. This would blend so well with all the packs we currently have, For example making new sims clubs the thrift store ( thinking of a popular 90s grunge band) High school pack would work ,teens attending concerts or joining their own band, We have the goth and grunge pack also already so could make really good bands and imagine starting out in your own basement and working into a superstar with friends/ band mates or recruit other sims. Maybe a werewolf band etc. New build items may include smoke machines lighting also etc, Plus get famous pack would also work . so many possibilities maybe become a roadie instead you get my drift. what are others peoples thoughts?

I had an idea for a band expansion or game pack
First I think that there should be new instruments like a drum kit, saxophone, trumpet, electric guitar, bass guitar, and harp.
There should need to be at least three people in the band and you can form your own band or work with an agency (similar to the acting career in the get famous expansion pack). I think that if you want to work for an agency you can audition to be in a band and you will have a higher chance of getting in the band the higher your instrument level is. I think that if you have the get famous expansion pack and your band is famous (even if its just a little bit) you would have a higher chance of working with an agency. If you want to if your band to join an agency you can by either the agencies asking (The agencies will only ask you to work for them if your band is famous, but it doesn't have to be by a lot) you on your phone or by doing a similar thing to the auditions. If you work for an agency before you have formed a band you would not be the leader because the band would be formed by the agency. The agencies will help your band get famous quicker (if you have the get famous expansion pack) they will also make your sims make more money per song.
I also think that you should be able to advertise a space for a band member, and you can specify what instrument they play and you can see their instrument skill level if they reply to the ad. You can choose to accept or deny people if they reply to the ad for members and you can have multiple people respond to the ad. There will also be a maximum amount of people in a band.
If you want to start a band you can be the band leader so you get to make the decisions on what the band does and who you want in it or you can make a band with no leader witch would be good if you worked with an agency.
There could also be a new world if it was an expansion pack that could have townies that already have a skill to play an instrument that way you can have townies for your band without needing to make them yourself. this expansion pack could be rock, metal or grunge themed but you should be able to pick the genre of your band when you make it. there could also already be a band or two in the world that you might be able to join if you dont want to make your own. There could be a hall in the world that you could hire to do band practices and people would bring there own instruments so you dont have to buy instrument for everyone.
The band would write the songs pretty much the same as you do currently in the game (where you have to be level eight or higher to write a song) but if you were in a band you would have the whole band together and you would write the song together. If you worked with an agency you would have to send the song to the agency to approve it first they would then send it back to you to publish it. The money that the band members earn would be the same as you earn money from songs in the game but they would all earn the money instead of just one person.
There is also two ways to get into a band if you dont want to form it yourself ( working with an agency or joining a band in the world) so people can have different choices of gameplay. Teens adults and elders could all form bands and it could be a small band that is more of a hobby or a good career option as well.
lastly there could be music shows that bands could preform at there could be a stage, equipment, toilets, food stands etc at concert venues. People could come to the concerts (there could be more people if the band was famous with the get famous pack) and the band could earn money from ticket sales. The bands could also preform at bars as a group to earn money.
Thank you for reading this far, if you have any questions ask and if you use this idea please let me know.

I love your game! I love your game because I can make a character! As much as I love your game I think I know a way to make it better. The way is to add more instruments like drums, flute and clarinet but the reason why I want more instruments is because I want to make a band in the Sims. Thank for listening to my thoughts and considering them. Sincerely, A Second Generation Simmer Age:10
- freehighfives6735 months agoSeasoned Newcomer
I literally couldnt agree more, its kind of boring and a little random to just have guitar, piano, and violin.
- GalacticGal5 months agoLegend
I would very much enjoy more variety in the instruments. I would also very much like it if CHILDREN could play the guitar and not just the piano and violin. If we get drums, they should also be able to learn how to play that, too.
- sailorleontine5 months agoSeasoned Ace
there's an expansion pack coming out later this year which focus on forming a band so i have hope they'll make instruments for little kids
i want more instruments in general
- 4 months ago
So, i have been thinking of a band-themed pack in my spare time.
GETTING A BAND TOGETHER
It would be very similar to the Get Together club system, First of all you can create a band which brings you to the Get together club creating screen but slightly different. You can give it a name, select the instruments you want in the band and also the members. I think it should show the skill levels of the sims, and maybe you can tag them ? For instance you could toggle all sims with "Level 2 guitar skill" and it shows all the sims with lvl. 2 Guitar skill, to make it easy for selection. you could also assign what genre, if any at all, your band plays.
NEW INSTRUMENTS
This pack would be a perfect way to introduce more instruments to the game. you could add drums, clarinets, saxophone and other common instruments. You could also add some more that aren't usually seen in day-to-day life like from different countries which would add more diversity and culture in the sims which is found quite a lot already.
GIGS
I think it would also be great to have a gigs menu, so when you have created the band you can select some random gigs at different lots. You can have some at a club or café, maybe at a park or at the pier from High-School Years. you could even have it at the Pancake residence if it says. Also you could hire a band and pick from the selections of bands. So if you wanted a Birthday party with a band performances you could hire a band to play at your party, the higher the skill of the band the more expensive or "booked up" the band could be.
CROSSPACKING
I think crosspacking could be awesome in this kind of pack. For instance with the new Business And Hobbies EP, your band could play at a business where people pay to enter and listen to the band's music. Also they could do talent contests for bands at restaurants, the prize could be money and even fame from the Get Famous EP.
Overall I think this pack would be very fun to play with and a great expansion to the many money making ways in the sims 4. This would also add depth to the music part of The Sims 4.
Thank you for listening to my idea,
AlziPalz.

Great idea and Yes! This is Wanted with a huge reward attached....You get to play it!💥🙂
- sailorleontine4 months agoSeasoned Ace
omg yes that's a great idea, i heard the next expansion pack is gonna be based on forming a (music) band, i hope they add stuff you've mentioned
it screams either asia (east asia in particular) or africa to me, i'm okay with both of these continents like they did with San Myshuno👍
- SerenityRune2 months agoNew Rookie
I am very fond of the idea of a bands pack in the sims 4, and when this pack does get released, I hope that the sims 4 character I created, Serenity Rune, shows up as a gallery sim. Serenity, a teen sim who has the good and party animal traits, could be even added to the world of Copperdale if one owns both High School Years and the bands pack. The main thing with Serenity is that she is an emo girl who has a short hairstyle with a sideswept bang completely covering one of her eyes, and this is something I hope the developers will include as part of the pack.
