This is a pack I wanted for years haha. The only issue is I see how less and less content EPs are getting as of late so it makes me wonder how much it'd actually offer. For me these are the key features/ideas it would need to be a proper hotels expansion:
- This the biggest one: BG needs an update to make multi-purpose lots. IMO, if they could get vendor booths and certain items such as things from Dine Out to automatically spawn on any lot regardless of lot type like TS2 does. OR maybe even with hotels you can specifically add like lot challenges that allow you to hire every NPC you want to spawn on that lot and they work at their respective stations? idk how it would work best.
- The game play from the perspective of both the owner AND the hotel guest needs to be robust enough. There should be challenges when it comes to being a resort owner and you should be able to choose what amenities your hotel offers. A hotel guest should have enough to do at the hotel that they don't feel the need to leave the lot to have fun for a weekend.
- Water Activities: This part I find tricky because some things that you may do at a beachside resort, such as jetski riding, are tied to IL and they seem to refuse to give us any other ocean activities in this game. They would need to change this and finally give more to do, such as canoeing, maybe beach volleyball or something
- Hotel activities: Hotel pool-bar, pool waterslide, giftshop station that actually looks similar to a register counter so it can be placed inside so you can design your own giftshops, room service, bars with drink specials, similar to how TS3 did it, food buffet tables that sims can pay a fixed price and have all-you-can-eat buffet, rabbithole tours would even be cool it it has pop ups and you get action choice (like TS2 offers)
