Please consider a music-themed expansion in the future, something along the lines of "Get the Band Back Together" or "Sims, Face the Music." Add instruments like saxophone, trumpet, drums, base (solo and ensemble). Retool the build a band system from TS3 with gigs, ensemble music (layered for each instrument/voice), and use the club system to assign preferred/hated music sets, costumes for males and females, hiring/recruitment of instrument parts/vocalists (expand the band with perk points sort of thing). Marketing could include a Blues Brothers type tribute, classic hair band, Blue Man Group with literal aliens, a country western band, and end with mascot suits in a heavy metal group "The Screaming Llamas," of course . A helpful item would be a portable "stage map" of various sizes (kind of like the yoga mat) to throw out where you can assign markers to place your band members and not have them flop down in weird directions or positions (or other rooms). This makes it so you could perform in a variety of expansion locations without having to go in and place instruments and microphones in every place you "might" perform or have bands using instruments that don't match their style at all. This expansion would allow for new music tracks (which your team does incredible with), new instruments to learn, countless clothing, hair, makeup, jewelry, and so many build items. The creative options are endless with room to grow. A new town with neighborhoods would be awesome too, devoted to certain genres ala Nashville, New Orleans, Detroit, NYC and could give devs a music city theme park opportunity to use all of these themes. Fingers crossed on this end and thank you for your consideration.
