One of my top wishes is for a festival lot type that we could have 3 or 4 festivals saved that rotate. Renaissance faire, wine fest, food fest, carnivals, etc.

This could work similar to EcoLifestyle's Community Spaces, which is pretty much just one one single lot with 3 or 4 slots for different festival ground variations. The possible downside is that unlike all festivals in Sims 4, it doesn't spawn in the open world and requires a loading screen in order for sims to access the grounds. On the upside, the player will have full control over the contents of the grounds, which is something I have a personal preference for.

I suppose a fully customizable "Faire Ground -lot" that behaves in such fashion (much like Seasonal lot markers in Sims 3) could be part of basegame and managed in the calendar. I'm thinking of a Spooky fair on Spooky Day with pumpkin carving in fancy dress, we could create a winter fair, a wine fest, a fun fair / carnival with rides, a funeral fair ( When I was a student I had a job at a Funeral Exhibition....man, some of the coffins on display looked like spaceships, complete with lightshow...no kidding, I loved it :D ) - a Ren faire, etc. Whichever suits our personal gameplay style.

All we need ofcourse are the packs to provide the gameplay objects and related content *sigh*, but the system's basics are basegame.

For the record, I think we should get both: A Festival Lot AND and a medieval inspired world!

I have used the community lot type in my game to create my own seasonal festivals. It's works pretty well except that I have to manually change the lot from season to season. I like that with the City Living festivals they spawn like 20 sims there to help them feel alive but beyond that I would rather create my own. The loading screens don't really bother me.

I need EA to start producing packs a little faster bc now I want a Medieval themed pack AND a festival themed pack. The Medieval pack could include all the elements of the ren faire as well as the castle and themed world you mentioned. They could have ren faires that spawn in the world with sims dressing in Medieval clothing kind of how the dress up for the comicon festival. Also dragons and a royal bloodline. Then the festival pack could come with the carnival elements and different elements for fairs. I really want to create wine fest and fairs based around seasonal foods and activities. Being able to create unique fairs like you mentioned would bring so much to the game.
