Platforms in preparation for Showtime/bands?

I don't know if anyone thought of this already. But the new update with platforms got me thinking. Could this be in preparation for a Showtime/Bands pack since the platforms are an amazing way to create stages. Also they made it so that sims can interact with other sims no matter on what platform height they are standing. Just like artists who interact with the crowd. This might be not be te case but i thought it was interesting enough to share

I thought of it as well did not hurt that Graham also mentioned creating stages either way that's mostly what I will be using them for.

Might be - they are indeed great for stages, which I have a ton of :) My impression was that they were useful for the japan build style with sunken floor etc. Platforms also feels good for "meditative builds" which probably fits the SE pack quite well (I don't have the pack yet).

I have been wanting a showtime pack since CL. With the singing skilled added back then it seemed like bands should of been added and then with GF it was another missed opportunity. I hope that if they do add a showtime pack that it includes not only bands but also magicians and acrobats. The active careers from ts3 were always my favorite and it's disappoints me how few active careers we have in ts4.

That said if they decide to only add bands I'd still be happy but it better be a GP then.

No, I don't think so. This was a request from builders in a long bucket list of things missing in TS4 over three years ago. Glad to see they finally got around to it.
