Yes to all of this! This is just how I would envision a hotel pack
I feel like I have answered this before, but as this is my one wish for another pack let's hope someone listens this time around and we can finally get what we need to make this type of pack awesome! For me, it's a lot less about things that are pretty in a hotel, but the functions of a pack, so here goes:
Ownable hotels
I want to be able to own and run hotels, the way we can own other businesses. I also want to design my hotels to suit my needs, be it a b&b, a sleezy motel, a cabin in the woods or a large beach side resort, I want all of them to be supported. Which also means...
Multipurpose lots
Without multipurpose lots, hotels are fairly useless. I want to be able to rent out a room in my sim-home, or have a resort with spa-facilities, gym, fancy restaurants, cafés and shops... For this to work we need to be able to combine lots.
Vacation activities:
Owning a hotel is one thing, but visiting the hotels is just as important. They need to be able to be run by NPCs and be made functional from BB-mode, and the activities while there needs to be satisfying and in depth. As much attention to running a hotel and experiencing one needs to be made. Activities for different kinds of holidays, honeymoons, winter vacations, nature vacations, sun and relax vacations...
Aspirations and traits
I want aspirations and traits connected to owning a hotell and travelling, from the explorer type to the resort luxury type aspirations.
Updated pools
Slides, trampolines, pool toys, pool bars, submersible hot tubs that can be in the ground or in the pool.
Updated buffet table
Where you can choose dishes, that adjust to time of day (breakfast, lunch, dinner), and that works automatically on hotel lots.
Hobbies and ability to set up classes
I'd love the ability to set up lessons and classes for activities and hobbies. Like pottery classes (with new pottery skill) or painting/archaeology/woodworking/knitting classes or whatever else.
Updated museums
Updated museums with more activities and a new base game career as a museum curator. Ability to give or take guided tours in museums. Souvenirs and poster and post-card versions of paintings or local attractions (from all worlds) that can be bought in museum gift-shops and collected.
Cross-pack combability
Would be lovely to get new activities, new stuff like golf, or pedal boat rides, or kite flying. I would love if sims could lounge on the sun lounger and read a magazine or a book, or even write in journal or do homework or file their nails sitting like that. Maybe they could bring back the magazine rack and newspaper stand. Also, bring back hammocks.
crocobaura It's so absurd that they can't do anything in a sun-lounger but tan. I mean they can't even speak while in a sun-lounger, while they can talk just fine while writing an essay. Seriously? All sun-lounger needs a base game update where they can at the very least read and talk, but preferably also write, do homework, or knit as well. And definitely yes to a hammock, and I'd love kite-flying - preferably with an option to build our own kites alone or together. Then you need the interactions 'teach to fly a kite' and 'teach to build a kite' with adults/teens guiding kids to do these activities.
Yes, about the sun lounger, they could add interaction where they could at least sit cross legged on it and do some stuff. But it would be nice if they could lean back with their knees bent and read a book or something equally lazy activity, maybe do crossword puzzles in a newspaper, or play games on their phones, take pictures, listen to music, etc.
Yes to hammocks! I forgot about those.
