Reasons to do Bands pack

Think some good reasons to make band pack would be following:

1. Adding more in depth gameplay to musician career aside from going into rabbit hole career, writing songs or playing to tips with get famous
2. Would allow to add more variation to song writing which currently only have a few options and limited to few genres.
3. Possibility to for adding more music instruments to the game like missing drum sets.
4. Maybe the option to give bars in game revamp with music stages you could play gigs at, adding possibility to use festival lot used for event to play at concerts when you make it big.
5. Option to make better way to play together aside from using get to together clubs or add to group which makes it difficult to control sims outside household to play their instruments.
6. Adding more sing and play option genres for instance currently you have grim guitar but you can't play metal despite it being a genre in music likes or dislikes.
7. Adding more interesting outfits maybe like retro glam outfits and similar.

Sure more one could come up with just brush of the head ideas on good reasons to add bands to the game. Sure probably people here that have their own or brought some to idea table already in past threads. But these were some my own nevertheless.
  • Bands are one thing I'd love to have back and you have some great reasons for bringing it all back, especially because I'd like some more instrument variety in the game, especially brass, woodwind, that sort of thing. I agree, it'd work great with Get Famous, especially if your actions affect the Reputation, which in turn might affect the success of your band. Having lots specific for gigs is also a cool idea, maybe as a Lot Type. Flashy outfits would also be awesome now you mention it.

  • I would like to see some of those things, however, Maxis should go ahead and do them for the competition, and contests between players of who can build the best bands with the best skills and the best sounds and the best following. That might make Maxis try it. More people on twitter entering competitions since Maxis likes competitive games and wants to bring that sort of rpg gameplay to The Sims.
  • I would love a band/musicals pack so Sims will be able to fully perform music with dancing too. Might as well go multitasking since that was a marketing point for the Sims 4.
