Edit: Changed the title of the thread since the pack is out. Feel free to share anything and everything from your Batuu gameplay!
So, for those like me, who are very excited for this Star Wars pack, I'd like to know what you're planning to do in your game for when the pack launches. I'm actually surprised that it turned out to be actually Star Wars, so I feel unprepared, lol.
Are you creating special Sims?
Are you working on any builds or placing Gallery lots?
Do you have any stories or adventures in mind?
I was originally going to make Del Sol Valley my Alien conquered city, so I think I'm going to move forward with that, but download some of the awesome Star Wars Gallery builds that I've seen and favorited.

After seeing a couple of review I might have put a bit too much effort in this sim because appearently sims get assigned random outfits upon arrival at Batuu. But I plan to take this sims to Batuu on my first trip to Batuu.

She's awesome! Another great outfit for the Star Wars theme! <3
I really love seeing what Sims and builds and stories people are working on for this pack. Thanks to everyone who shares something. <3
I've decided that since we're getting Stormtrooper and Jawa outfits, I'm going to redress any of those bad fashion townies I see with those. So the fashion disasters will become part of the evil Empire. >:) And the Jawas...well, they're just adorable and hilarious and I need them everywhere. Especially in playgrounds.

I'm not sure if it was specified, but I would think that they do. I think they work like any other CAS unlocks so once you unlock them, the household gets access to them forever.
aaah I will send my simself and her family to Batuu for sure but I don't know when because since I got the SOL mod they are always busy to visit people etc. :D and I am waiting for ts4 to ts3 conversions of course ! and maybe at least if this possible to live other there I'll move them other there someday. Oh and I am sure Miss V will perhaps be on mission other there for the police carreer if possible of course.
I want to make an original mixed human/alien neighborhood that gives off Naboo or Tatooine vibes, and I want to play around and experiment with the B/B items and add other scifi stuff like droids as well. :smile:
I may not exactly be getting the pack on launch day, but I do have a few stories in mind should I get it further on down the road~ Pics and story ideas in the spoiler tags!
My husband's simself is already an Interstellar Smuggler, so exploring the Scoundrel route just seems right for him.
https://bit.ly/330ilDH https://bit.ly/3lOfypE Maybe he should work on his handiness skill a bit more before going... ?
There've been some interesting adventures he's gone on already, such as returning an alien teenage stowaway back to his home planet. So I'll have to think of something along those lines as to how he wound up on Batuu... Perhaps that was the planet he dropped the kid off on, so he's going back to check in on him! But this time around he has more time to spare -- or better yet, his rocket malfunctioned? There's also the possibility of linking his story with a Sim I'll post below, but I'm not sure if the timelines would match up right... Still plenty o' time to think on that, though!
Then there's Ziggy Watts, the only Servo I've ever played with lol.
His story is that he was created to help his "mom" (the Sim who created him) and her friends defeat the Mother Plant. That's been many years ago now though (his mom is an elder now) and Ziggy is hoping to find his own path in life. His mom Ivy has never pressured him to leave or anything like that, and Ziggy loves living with his mom and dad, but... He wants a little more outta life, y'know? I'm also imagining that he is a huge Star Wars nerd. Biggest C-3PO fan in my 'verse (wonder why). So when he finds out that he can actually go to Batuu? Oh, he's all over it. And I'm definitely getting him a droid companion! Maybe a little red R2-D2 lookin' guy so Ziggy can really live his C-3PO fantasy ?
Finally, family man and all-around upstanding gent Barney Switch, another of my astronaut Sims!
https://bit.ly/3h58rpp Barney with his family (he's the one on the far left).
Originally his family consisted solely of Talia (his wife) and Antoine (his son)! The story was that Barney passed away and left Talia to raise Antoine and start up a bakery. Then I wanted Talia to also have a daughter (Melody), so I had to create Barney in CAS and then...I fell in love with 'im. So I told myself "I'll just have him pass later, for story purposes!" Well... That was like two irl years ago and he's still alive whoOPS! So now I'm thinking...maybe he didn't die. But during a mission he came across a planet that he saw needed his help, and he stayed to join the Resistance! But he winds up staying there for so long that his family and colleagues think he's not ever coming back. And in my story he probably won't come back until he's an elder? Hmm... ? I'm also heavily contemplating Ziggy and his droid joining forces with him. I think they'd be a great team! There's also the possibility I mentioned earlier of my husband's Sim joining him -- perhaps going on a rescue mission to find him? I can't imagine him joining the Resistance with Barney, though. He's more of a chaotic neutral type o' guy lol.
I don't have any plans for the First Order just yet, but I'd be interested in making a femme fatale sort of Sim. It'd be a good excuse to hop into CAS and just have fun if ever I get my grimy gamer hands on the pack.
Loving everyone's ideas so far! I'm excited to see what folks will create and the Sims you'll make~ ✌
