Hey, since the Goth Kit won the vote...

@CAPTAIN_NXR7 - My partner and I go to a lot of metal shows! I have been to see Mayhem, Amon Amarth, Sabaton, god I can't even remember a small list of them because I'm really sick right now. Anyway. We go regularly to concerts. It's aggravating me that I can't remember more of the bands. But I really am very sick so it makes sense. Also. My partner used to play the cello, he collaborated with Les Discrets and wrote and played the cello part for some of their music back in the day. You should look them up if you haven't already heard of them. He also was in some bands like Ancient, he is on their wikipedia page under his stage name. Toured across various continents and stuff.

I would love to have a cello in addition to the violin, for sure, and I would love to be able to have metal bands - we already have the dj element, which I absolutely adore.

Yes, definitely to SWAMPS and ALL OF THE MUSIC!! ?

@fujicakes1 I'm very sorry to hear you're sick - wishing you a speedy recovery! ? Hopefully those band names will come back to you soon!

Fair play to your partner for getting to experience different parts of the globe as a touring musician! No I'm not jealous. Today is the first time I heard of "Les Discrets" but I'm glad I did! I'm exceptionally terrible at French (jibber-jabber French is a different story), but I must say that the band produces some really beautiful sounds that are right up my alley, at least one of my many many dark alleys... :D

I just remembered a post rock band from Dublin called 3Epkano that I used to follow around a bit in the early 2000's (when everybody else was playing Sims) . What they did was they performed original live scores to silent movies including Nosferatu, The Cabinet of Dr.Caligari, Metropolis and other fabulous films from the silent era. Usually these gigs took place in medium sized rooms inside castles or other historical buildings and it was really just three lads and a girl playing drums, guitar, bass, violin, keys and ofcourse, cello. These audio visual live performances made a huge impact on me back then, every single time. Really powerful. It's a pity the band no longer performs.
A song would typically start off quietly before it slowly transformed into this epic, instrumental rock piece.
Sample in spoiler below:




Anyway, what were we talking about again?

YES, OFCOURSE! Grim and Co need their own, dead-icated reaper pack which should also include a new harvestable: SOULS!!?

@CAPTAIN_NXR7 I love it!

Actually excited for this, AND YES! to a playable reaper! I remember being annoyed back in the day when it lost out to laundry(TBH Laundry is one of my most used packs) and would be over the moon if they explored it. I'm generally I guess a "realistic" player but even I am getting tired of the mundane Farmville slice-of-life packs. I WANT CHAOS!!! Will be keeping a close watch on this pack's development.

Getting some "Devil Went Down To Georgia" vibes from this thread. Love it.

Parking my "yes, please!" right here.

I voted for Nifty Knitting because it was presented as an Arts and Crafts pack with other things like a pottery wheel, etc. And then it got whittled down to ONLY knitting and while I'm always happy with new hobby-style activities, even I was pretty displeased. I guess I should have known better than to trust they wouldn't dumb down a stuff pack after the "Eco Living" pack won and it became laundry. Honestly, I play games to escape chores, why would I want digital chores?!?
That being said, if the Grim Reaper pack had won, you better believe that half the features that were advertised would've been weeded out and we would have been disappointed with it anyway. Maybe this way, if they do ever design a Grim Reaper Game Pack, it would have all the elements that made it sound so enticing in the first place.

Yes please to all of it!

I'd love to see it all set in a an eerie foggy swampy bajou world. Complete with voodoo curses, a celebration of the dead parade/festival with traditional trumpets and saxophones, and a mausoleum with a secret entry into some kind of hidden underworld. It could give us great cross-pack compatibility with the paranormal stuff pack, werewolves, vampires, and spellcasters.... all congregating in the same world, all trying to keep the peace.... but can they succeed?

Anne Rice meets Bram Stoker meets Stephen King.... what could possibly go wrong? :D

I’d love an eerie swamp world, I can imagine this being like Sulani, bayou style, in which we can build swamp houses and have swimmable swamps. Just dirt roads and lots of swamps. I’m reminded once again about the voodoo inspired concept art the sims team shared/ leaked a long time ago. I must find it and post it here for inspo. It’s awesome!

I'd love a swamp world, complete with some quicksand to trap unwary Sims. Rescue your friends! Wave bye bye to your enemies! LOL

I liked the Grim Reaper in all Sims inlcuding the last. But sorry, I never saw the point of the ghost characters, and playing with them is sounds even more ridiculous. Just because of that one kit, the whole game would turns into a halloween sytle. This will be a problem for those who want to buy the complete game later, and not into this topic.

And that would be THEIR problem to deal with. There's a lot of elements and features in the game currently that I don't give two cares about *cough* laundry *cough* but I bought the pack it came in anyway because the CAS and some of the build/buy appealed to me. And guess what? I just ignore the features I don't wish to use. I don't tell someone they can't have something they want in the game just because I don't want it.
