The Sims™ 4 Music Expansion Pack
Hey, I've seen a lot of music-related topics here but all of them were about bands so I decided to give my idea of something that would be larger than bands and worthy of an expansion pack instead of ...
Forum Discussion
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.
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,

Great idea and Yes! This is Wanted with a huge reward attached....You get to play it!💥🙂
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👍
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.
Full view of Serenity Rune from The Sims 4. CC from Moontaart, Praline, and VampyreSimsWe totally need a way to set the band's functions and the members responsible for them. Like we need to be able t choose if a band have a singer, guitar, drums, saxophone, etc. and whoever is responsible for that instrument.
If my sim Serenity Rune gets featured in this pack, she would serve both as the band's vocalist and lead electric guitarist.
Such a cool idea! 👏👏👏This pack is my dream, really wanted to build my own band hopefully they can also arrange touring schedule and perform in different venues in all worlds 🥰
pls sims make this happen!!
