What if we had an expansion pack based on moving?

Ever built a house and your Sims don't acknowledge the fact that they're living somewhere else? Their ungratefulness always bothered me; I spent 15 hours building you a giant castle only for you to complain about the decoration. 

So basically, I was thinking that we should have an expansion pack that surrounds the process of moving into a new home. Here are my thoughts:

  • A "Home Sweet Home" Aspiration: You complete tasks to make a sim feel comfortable in the home they're living in. You could host parties at your house, have multiple generations there, etc.
  • Drifter trait: The sim never settles and constantly wants to move to different places or wants a different house
  • Moving Specialist Career: They'd help others move to different homes
  • Moodlets:
    • Homesick
    • Fresh Start
    • Overwhelmed
    • Missing Friends/Families in their old neighborhoods
  • Build/Buy Objects:
    • Moving Boxes. Those can act as an inventory to place random stuff in, and your pets or children can play in them
    • Objects to put inside the boxes. It can be a stack of clothes that the player chose from CAS and put into build/buy.
    • Air mattresses and temporary furniture
    • Furniture that needs assembling, like the rockets
    • Regular objects used to build your home
  • CAS objects:
    • I can't really think of any. LMK if you have any suggestions
  • Interact:
    • We know of the boxes; we can unpack the objects
    • Admire the house by clicking the door
    • Basement/attic hunting. What you find is by chance; you could be terrified from seeing a ghost or find some rare collectibles
    • Open garage sales
    • House Party Gift Exchange where they can give you gifts to put into your home
  • Empty Home lots where the homes aren't completely empty because they have the usual stuff a home contains when you move but the user can have Moving Specialists put in couches, beds, etc.

  • it's a perfect idea but based on the descriptions i'm with cebmarin on this one, it should be in basegame

    True. Chances are that wouldn't happen, though. Chances are that this wouldn't happen either. 😭
