Updates and Connections between packs

I feel like there are great opportunities to create unique connections between packs that are being missed. Creating these connections would be synergistic and would increase sales.

Here's an example:

We now have a royalty pack. It would have been cool if you'd added an update to Crystal Creations that if people have both Crystal Creations and Royalty and Legacies, sims can now make custom tiaras at the gemology table. Perhaps adding bejeweled swords or decorative daggers.

I made this suggestion to my friend and she was immediately like, "OH MY GOD! I would have bought both packs immediately just for the chance to have tiaras with custom gems and metal combos."

There are multitudes of other synergies that could be identified. Anyone have some they'd like to share?

    Journey to Batuu has so many possible synergies that are ignored. 

    Should be able to cut through the jungles with a lightsaber. 

    Using a lightsaber should also improve the swordsmanship skill. 

    Some packs could add an additional Kyber crystal to find, to put in a lightsaber to give it a different colour, maybe with a special visual effect even. 

    Could be possible to attempt to have a sword fight between someone with a lightsaber and a regular sword, resulting in the sword getting cut at first contact and requiring to be repaired. Swords could be upgraded with a special coating if you have Journey to Batuu to be able to fight someone with a lightsaber. 

    There should be a star wars themed rocket ship, or ships even. 

    Being an actual alien should give unique interactions in Batuu. Then again so should being a geek. Or a mage. 

    If you have university, it should be possible to build a protocol droid which could function the same as the simbot, but would look like C-3PO, with different possible colours.

    I would love a star wars rocket ship or at least the option to build a flying saucer for the aliens. I think they are not adding more gameplay linked to Batuu pack because of copyright issues. This is why what happens in Batuu stays in Batuu. One of my sims fell in love with a sim from Batuu and they choose to go on a date in another world and the game booted him out. 🤣

    Yes, I've thought a lot about duels. There should be the capability to do sword duels with light sabers.

    It would have been cool to add the Royal EP's sword duel options to other types of duels. Like, a spellcaster should be able to duel for the throne/control of the dynasty.

    And there should be ways to duel between all of the occults. Not just vampire on vampire, but spellcaster on vampire. Hugely missed opportunity there.

    When I saw their was tiaras in R&L previews I was soo hoping for CC cross-pack capability and was soo bummed when there wasn't.

    Duels yes both spellcaster duels and lightsaber were missed opportunities.

    Yesterday, someone mentioned how Strangerville, FR and R&L all have a secret/nosy/listing aspect and do not connect. 

    I wish they had "Disable Paparazzi" (or keep paparazzi in Del Sol Valley) if you have GF/R&L because even if you disable fame, if you try to play era based in Ondarion having paparazzi show up is really annoying.

    This is my EbN cross pack suggestions.

    But honest so many of my posts mention cross pack improvement, such as this one.
