The Sims 4 (Victorian Era) Ideas

I apologize if my title seems a little misleading for this board, but I chose it because likely my ideas will be using The Sims 4 engine. I appreciate the time anyone is taking to read this topic. Pl...

    @GlitteryRose, I don't work for EA , but I love your ideas!:eahigh_file:  I really enjoyed the Sims Medieval and my favorite time period is the Victorian era! ❤️  I would buy this in a heartbeat! 🥳  (Jane Eyre is one of my favorite books! )  

    Sadly from what I gather EA doesn't take ideas from people who aren't in the company. ☹️ Your best bet is to get a job with them.🤔

    Your idea was right up my alley, but I'm not an employee, just a volunteer.  😉  But I wish your idea would be made into a game! 🤞

    Happy Simming! 😇

Thank for your reply! It always makes me happy when someone other me have the same thinking.

I thoroughly agree with you about EA. In fact, I researched this prior to posting this and found the same article you posted. It's sad, but I understand how there are thousands of ideas floating around for a game as popular as The Sims. Many wonderful ideas, too.

I've heard that game developers would read posts or articles from fans to get a general idea of what fans want for their favorite games. So I'm hoping that one of them would read mine or someone else with the same idea. I'm hoping!

If EA is willing to use just a sliver of my ideas, I'll be content. Just like you, I love the Victorian Era too! I often dress myself up, in modern-day clothes, of course, in the inspiration of that era. I probably would've been born in that era if not in this one. LOL! I'm still waiting for my first carriage ride.

@GlitteryRose, I'm right there with you! :eahigh_file: Even as a child I was obsessed with anything that looked "old-fashioned".  Candelabras and hurricane lamps, iron water pumps (love the ones in Oasis Springs where you can find frogs hiding!), top hats, hoop skirts, bustles, pocket watches, grandfather clocks, carriages, old cast iron stoves, spinning wheels, and Queen Anne style Victorian houses are the best ❤️ (which is odd since Queen Anne isn't from the Victorian era, only Queen Victoria is! ) Luckily I have been on a carriage ride!  

I am also hoping that at least some of your suggestions get filed away for later use! 🤞 Especially if more than one person has suggested something similar! 

And here's hoping also that you will soon get your carriage ride! 🥳

    I prefer the Medieval - maybe with a dragon 🙂 I think it is cheaper and easier to do - and because of it more real that we can get it from EA. We have equipment that will fit there, a wooden bathtub, primitive benches - a stove for coal, clothes. It would be nice if you could not buy modern equipment there. Finally, the aspiration of the herbalist also fits in there - he would be a doctor. It would be like Sims3 city - no contacts with other worlds - only your sim can move there. Or a completely separate sim world - not included with the rest. If you buy this, you can settle there but you can not travel to any other world - it would be a worse solution - but from the point of view of difficulties and possible bugs if it was a better solution for EA.
    Four "careers" troubadour, knight, wizard, doctor herbalist. The instrument from a military career and interactions change a bit and you already have a manikin for exercises with a sword and the guy who is singing with a guitar has been around for a long time.
    The dragon could play the role of Mother Plants from Strangerville.

      Not that I'm saying that you're wrong about the technical difficulties, but EA has already created some objects from Medieval, Rococo, and Victorian times for the Get Famous expansion pack. The objects they made is so beautiful and flawless in comparison to the original Sims Medieval game. Even though their stuff is beautiful too. Anyhoo, I can see how reusing the Medieval animations, for instance, could make the new game easier. But with enough interest, I believe EA games would be willing to create a new Sims game from scratch; set in a new time period.

      If you would rather have The Sims Medieval remake, on the other hand, I won't bash you for it. But personally, I feel that there are a lot of eras and cultures, aside from just the Victorian Times, that could be explored to make an interesting game. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of bringing the Sims Medieval back with better graphics and gameplay options. But bringing our sims into that time period has already been done. Therefore, kinda takes away the initial spark of the excitement of playing a game entirely new from the original Sim games.

      Forgive me, I'm not trying to bash your opinion. But this is how I personally feel.

      @kreatora& @GlitteryRose , I love the Medieval time period also! ❤️ But then again I'm for any time period that isn't the present!  Yes, Get Famous was a must-have for the costumes that pack included! (Although technically, the costumes for the Victorian period don't have matching hair since it is either from the Regency period, or the powdered wigs of the 18th century, or the Edwardian "Gibson Girl" period (the hair Judith Ward has).  Edwardian was the period after Victorian but before the 1920's.  People often lump them together.  😃  (I recommend a YouTuber by the name of Karolina Zebrowska for more information of historical fashions and what period they actually occurred in. ❤️  You might like Bernadette Banner too, but I've only seen a couple of hers so far as she is more into sewing, and I don't sew. 😳 ) 

      But I digress, as usual! 😃  The Sims Medieval was great fun!  And that wooden bathtub we can make on the workbench has come in handy! 😉  For Medieval toilettes we can always use the bushes that came with Get Together ! :eahigh_file: And you are so right in that the Herbalist skill is a perfect fit! 🥳

        Another time period that could be interesting is a futuristic setting. I don't know if you'll be into that, but I did like the idea when it was presented in The Sims 3: Into The Future. Unfortunately, for me, the game was a disappointment since you didn't get many assignments to do aside from your very first one. Plus, most of your assignments require you to do them in the present.

        But the idea of time portals or portals leading to another world, taking care of aliens, infiltrating a futuristic top secret base could make into an interesting mission.

        Then again, what I just described sounds very similar to the new Strangerville expansion pack, which I did enjoy playing. The only downfall to that expansion pack is that once it's over there is nothing left to do. That's why I need another game similar to The Sims Medieval.
