Hello everyone,So I know we have music instruments in the Game already but having more would be really refreshing. However, I feel like the Team is not planning on adding more in the game. The last Music Instrument was the station in Get Famous and all the other ones that came into the game are ones that already exist in the game (guitar in the werewolf, piano in my wedding stories and Growing together). The fact that Werewolves could have electric guitars but didn't really tickled the idea that the team is no longer adding any in the game.So what do you think?

I'm terribly cynical, and I really want more instruments but I don't know if they'll turn up.The Upright Piano is coming to Sims, but that's going to work like the piano, just smaller. I would like a whole pack dedicated to music and bands. Playing in groups, adding wind instruments, drums, maybe the harp.Part of the problem is that you'll need to find musicians to put their music in, multiple genres, some bad music for when you're learning, some good for when you're top skill, and that adds to the budget of the pack.

I think singer career/music bands is still a think and highly requested feature for YEARS. So I am sure such pack WILL come with new instruments though I am not sure how many of them. We already have a few kinds of guitars and pianos, violin so I am not sure what more could come. I would die for drums and percussion and not having much more ideas. So I hesitate between smal and big range of instruments

Guzheng if they're inspired by China or Korea, Erhus, Indian Sitars, etc...There are a lot actually that don't really need new music with copyright

I wish we would because I'd love to make orchestras, but I don't think so. ?

Would be great to have drums and then while your teens are practicing their drums it's infuriating the entire household with the racket.

Still, upright pianos will be nice because it's insane that we need a huge classical piano to learn it. Even large houses have trouble fitting them in.

I hope they add some instruments and bands. I'd be happy with a drum set and some kick drums, bass and a saxophone. This mainly, although a clarinet or flute would not be bad too. Of course this, with the possibility of forming bands and giving concerts, with levels that lead us to musical stardom.
