WE NEED ANOTHER GAME PACK!!!

Are game packs dead.......

With only 12 game packs and we haven't had one for over 2 years now. When stuff packs were considered dead we NEVER thought we were going to get another one. Game packs are awesome because its a good way to get a good amount of Build/Buy, CAS, and gameplay and lots of the time with another world. We do not need vacation worlds, there is no point in them existing (Selvadorada is beautiful I want to live there. Granite Falls and Battu are flops). 

Sometimes I dont want a massive expansion pack (lots of EPs seem like game packs). And I just want to get more stuff without getting something that would completely change the way I play the game.

Maybe another occult (Fairies or Zombies maybe). Maybe a cave exploring pack with an underground world where vampires can walk around in the daytime without shriveling do death.

We just need more of them.....

ps. PLEASE PLEASE fix My Wedding Stories 

  • I don't miss game packs in particular,  but if they want to release more I will probably get them. Recent EPs haven't added that much to the gameplay or features were even broken or incomplete.  So, personally, I would like some more activities to fill the gaps and better integration between the packs. If. they want to release a new GP, then I suggest they should consider adding Golfing. It would be a nice family friendly activity for all ages, especially if they include both real outdoor golfing in  a park, and also mini golf type attraction thing for kids.

    Ummm no, Granite Falls is not a flop. 

    They just put out more fixes for MWS this week.

     I don't think gamepacks are dead. I believe we will see them again. I am a believer in the theory that Horse Ranch was supposed to be a gamepack but I won't get on that soap box today. My guess is at some point we will see a fairy's GP

      Granite Falls is actually pretty nice. I think the trick is to gather a few Sims for a camping trip and have them sleep in tents, build fires and do all the fun camping activities there are. The only thing that bugged me a bit about a camping trip I did with my main household: It was raining all the time, and all of them caught a cold. Camping in spring or autumn isn't the best idea if your Sims are outside and not in one of the lodges 😁 There's maybe less to do than in other vacation worlds, and there's a lot more going on in Selvadorada, but I think it's perfect for nature-loving Sims who enjoy just being outside without actually doing tons of activities.

    I really like Game Packs as long as the ideas are thorough Vampires was a great Game Pack so was Werewolves. They were a great concept, well thought out and implemented well.  My Wedding Stories and Dine Out were not so good. This is not because the ideas weren't sound, it's because they weren't as thorough as they should have been and implemented poorly. Here is a list of concept I think would be great Game Packs if done as well as Vampires & Werewolves.  

    • Fairies 
      • Fairy Circles 
      • Fairy Powers done just like Vampires & Werewolves 
      • Fairy Tricks and Blessings, Fairy Glamour 
      • Customizable Wings, Tattoos 
      • Limited Power of Flight 
      • Can Duel Spellcasters with their version of  Magic 
      • Utilizes a few places we already have like the Hidden Lot in the Tree and give it purpose. Maybe add a spot for Fairies in Cottage Living  
      • All kinds of references to Midsummer Nights Dream & the Tempest, Fairy Tail and Fairy Tales in General 
      • Work in Paracelsus's Four Elemental Spirits - Sylphs, Undines (Mermaids), Gnomes, & Salamanders
      • Evil Fairies are referred to as Spriggans
      • Fairies have an affinity for Mermaids & Unicorns and easily gain relationship points 
      • Fairies fear Iron just like Werewolves and Vampires fear Silver (or should in game)  
      • Return of the SummerDreams
      • Unlocks Unicorns if you have this pack & Horse Ranch   
    • Casinos 
      • Can be owned by the Simmer 
      • Can be designed as a themed casino like in Vegas 
      • NPC Croupiers (Dealers) NOT Robots 
        • Uniforms can be set by the player if they own the Casino
      • Casinos Games 
        • Blackjack
        • C*r*a*p*s - The game not the naughty word. (P.S. Please Devs grow up, having this be censored is silly)  
        • Poker - but not with a dealer just high stakes and low stakes tables 
        • Roulette
        • Slot Machines 
      • Magician Career 
        • Some close up magic too  
        • Stage Props 
        • Magical Tricks & Stunts 
        • Theatre build/buy pieces including a ticket booth 
      • Works with Hotels 
    • Hotels

      • Firefighters & Fire Stations

        • Funnel Cakes
        • Lemonade
        • Soft Pretzels 
        • Sweet Tea 
        • Turkey Legs
      • Carousel - That works

    I do agree that we are overdue for a new Game Packs.  There needs to be Game Packs of the following:                         

    1. Fairies🧚‍♂️
    2. Genies🧞‍♀️
    3. Medieval🏰 
    4. Ancient Egypt🌄
    5. Futuristic Age🛸
    6.  Superheroes & Supervillains👩‍🚒🤖

    All these should come with Residential Worlds with 12 Lots minimum.
