Re: Costume and Period Packs?

PugLove888,

Yeah, I could see the risky part with a Circus pack. I mainly thought of that because I recently saw a Circus Challenge someone brought up. Though, yeah, the whole clown mention was due to the interesting fact that though the game provides two different style types, I've actually seen people who want to make cheerful clowns using the Tragic Clown garb, because they don't like the other one. 🤨 Why? The color difference? One is a jumpsuit and the other is some suspender combo? One has a frilly collar and the other has a bow-tie? I dunno. I guess clown lovers have their favorite types like how dog lovers have their favorite types. XP

Costume Party - yeah, I actually have a character who I'd like to put in a ballet costume, but I could only find Dark Swan inspired ones in CC, plain ol' leotards with maybe a sheer skirt rather than a tutu, and there was one... but the style wasn't what I had in mind for the character. No bother though, I couldn't find party costumes for the rest of them. One would have been dressed as an old school soldier, like the kind you think of when it comes to the Nutcracker play or old windup toys with those one shot rifles. I found one CC that sort of fit the look, but the rest of the costumes I was looking for were nonexistent.

Ah, with the idea of costumes of iconic movie characters, I added in that thought due to there being Star Wards themed stuff, so I figured there are probably other movie characters EA might be able to do without copyright infringement. Though, in the main concept, I could see things easily done like who you mentioned the Sims Vladisaus Staud IV. You'd have a vampire based costume, a Sims mummy concept, a Sims reanimated monster (Frankenstein's monster) concept, a Sims wolf man concept... 'Not too different from how Halloween Costume stores do costumes that are inspired, but not direct replica's of horror novel/movie greats.

@Player_jp5s5eav, I see what you mean! They wanted a happy clown like Ronald McDonald or Krusty the Klown from The Simpsons , or even Bozo the Clown. 😇
Ah yes, the mummy and wolf man could be easily done since they've done them before. 🙂 In TS3 they had mummies (you met them when you traveled to Egypt if you had the Adventure pack). They have had Werewolves before too, I think in TS2 if I remember correctly. They also had Bigfoot in TS2 who liked to wear a Bowler hat of all things! 😃 :eahigh_file: I suppose they still could do a non-animal circus with just the tightrope walkers, strongmen, bearded ladies, ring master, trapeze artists, ect. and could call it a carnival instead. They could also have cotton candy (fairy floss in some countries) and Ferris wheels along with midway games like knocking down targets , the hall of mirrors, or the one where you swing a hammer to try to ring a bell. And a carousel / merry go round! 🥳 They had something like this in TS1 in the Makin' Magic EP that was combined with Witches so there was real supernatural magic and the slight-of-hand kind of magic.❤️ But it would have to be animal free to avoid controversy. { Although, they could still add horses and birds, lizards, hamsters, in another pack like they did with Cats & Dogs! 😉 }
