Hello everyone,
So my question and speculation is really simple: Do you think we'll have more musical instruments in future packs?
As we know some people speculate a lot about a music band and a music pack but if I remember well, the previous games (sims 1, 2, 3) the musical instruments were Piano, Guitar, Drums, Bass, Synthesizer, Violin and the lazer intrument from into the future. So only Drums, Bass and Synthetizers are missing (knowing that The sims 3 didn't have synthesizers). We also had Organ Pipe and Dj Mixing (if we count that one) in the Sims 4.
So do you think we would have more than Drums and bass in the future or will it be these two only (if they even come)? And if so, What kind of instruments do you think we'll get? I hope we can have Saxophones; Harps; Accordéons; Djembés; Kayagum and more...

- KaraGaelford4 years agoSeasoned AceI admit to being extremely puzzled why they haven't given us more musical options in the game, particularly instruments. It seems like a easy win for Maxis, but maybe I'm wrong about the current social climate and music.
Anyway, I'd love to see the classics instruments of course: drums and electric guitar, but I'd also love to see flutes, saxophones and pretty much anything else woodwind. My Sims are generally quiet, except when it comes to the music! B) - Jomilej4 years agoSeasoned Ace@Kironide oooh yeah wind instruments would be amazing: flutes/Piccolo, Clarinettes, Oboes, Native American flutes or even Chinese flutes
If they make a pack inspired by arabic culture or Indian culture I hope to see some Ney, Duduk, Alghoza flutes. - KaraGaelford4 years agoSeasoned Ace

You've definitely got my vote! I love the sound of wooden flutes and more culture is always good! <3
Thanks so much for posting this subject. It needs to be raised. :) - 4 years agoI hope Maxis hears you! it is necessary. And with the reputation system it could be a very cool thing. It depends on your reputation they could call you to play venues. How I would like to have bands in this game!
I think we will have them and they will add. Bass - Drums - Saxophone and maybe you see some more instrument like the Contrabass and some flute or clarinet? I am sure that they will not miss this opportunity, they will use this letter when they need it. - Jomilej4 years agoSeasoned Ace

Exactly a band/music group/musician career would be awsome (it could be different from the entertainment career or be an enhanced version of it in the pack); the clients would call for gigs and then our band or usician perform at a specific place with their instruments (the quality of the instruments and the sims' skill would influence the performance so the reputation). A pack like that should include varuois music genres so we can have specialities (the in game instruments already have some music genres associated with them but they need more for such a career). There are lots of possibilities in this idea: Rock bands, jazz bands, classical orchestra (depending on the culture classic music is not the same though), pop bands (more like a dance group so no instrument involved, out of topic) with Strangerville installed we can have military band marches. All these bands/orchestra would need new musical instruments. But now that I thing about it, a simple game pack won't be enough, it needs to be a whole Expansion Pack for that (or else they have to choose one very specific type of band so less instruments) - kathmhughes4 years agoSeasoned AceI really want all the percussions. Drums, djembes, marimba bands, etc.
- annaliese394 years agoSeasoned AceI agree we need more musical instruments, as well as upright pianos. I would especially love a lute and a harp. I am really hoping for a music pack.
- Jomilej4 years agoSeasoned Ace@annaliese39 Totally. I always wanted harps in the game so bad. I never thought about uprights piano though (maybe cause we have the city living keyboard so in my mind it was okay), but you're right we need one (at least one model).
- crocobaura4 years agoLegendI would really, really like an accordion and drums set.
- 4 years agoI second that accordion!
Transferrable skills would be great too. If you're a great pianist, you'd be at least a passable organist.
