Star Wars Game Pack?

I would love it if it had sci fi and futuristic elements like cool gadgets and such, but i dont want it to have anything to do with star wars.

TBH, I don't mind. I personally like this kind of theme because I'm a fan of Sci-Fi. It would be so cool if they add in a different alien life state, something like Spore or Chewbacca or Yoda as the NPC. I'm not a Star Wars diehard fan, but that's kind of movies that will make me go to the cinema.

More than anything, since it's something that the developers never done before, I'm more intrigued to learn what kind of "crazy" idea that they're going to show it to us.

Though, it's understandable that some Simmers prefer realism, but we should embrace realism & fantasy. Just my 2 cents. ;)

I LOVE sci-fi and fantasy stuff in game! I’ve been wanting an overhaul for aliens (and ghosts!) for ages.

I think my mental block literally just comes from Star Wars being a specific universe that takes place in a specific time. A galaxy far far away is easily solved (we already visit Sixam), but I think I’d need to adjust my thinking to mesh with “a long time ago”, lol. It’s not actually that big of a deal.

I’m also not a major Star Wars nerd, but I have dated them, so I might know too much about the universe through osmosis, and it feels like a lot to try to capture in a game pack if we’re actually meant to be taking our sims to Black Spire Outpost or whatever.

But honestly even if they don’t capture Star Wars very well and the in-universe justification is weak, some fun new sci-fi gameplay would be nice, and I LOVE the Star Wars aesthetic, which we could totally use more of in-game, so I’m open to the idea.

Yeah, I don't mind at all if they only added in a little bit of Star Wars elements, but it would be even better if they created their own universe. I think, they might be focusing on the story by adding a new gameplay to it, like what they did with the Strangerville. If I must say, Strangerville & the Seasons are the only packs that I've bought on the released date. So, this pack could be one of it too.

Yeah! I hope that they could give us a mini telescope! It's about time! :D

Well, I'm torn. On the one hand, I don't like "real" brands in my Sims game. On the other hand, Star Wars stuff is already in game (Costumes, The Child)

And I love Star Wars. I'm not as nerdy about it as my friends who are in the 501st Legion, but I was playing West End's Star Wars RPG in the early 90's. When that was the expanded universe. (Seriously, they gave Zahn the existant game catalog as source material)

I'm just not sure how they're going to work tying Batuu to the rest of the Sims world. Having it be a Theme Park makes the most sense to me - literally recreating Galaxy's Edge as a world for the Sims - but SimGuruDuke's tweet from February puts a damper on that theory. Not enough of one that I'm going to discard it, but it's less likely.

My reasons for keeping it open are that the next pack on the list at the time was Eco Lifestyle and it's unclear if the tweet refers to just that or what was in the pipeline in general

I really want to play Wookies and Porgs!

Still holding hope for it to be a different theme even though it seems unlikely at this point.

We can keep on wishing. :'(

I'm not entirely sold on the Star Wars theme either, but I am kinda holding back on buying packs right now.

If it is Star Wars themed, I'd imagine it is a theme park pack where you can build rollercoasters.

What was the tweet?

Speaking for myself this would be a disappointment. I haven’t enjoyed most of the sims content this year. I hope the expansion is something that I’d enjoy like farming, vacations. I guess you win some and lose some but it’s been the later for this year

I'll copy what i wrote in another thread cause it's a big text and... im lazy ?

"Can one be away from the forum for two days without all of this happening? ??

At first i looked at the icon and immediatly thought 'winter vacation'. But im kind of biased by all the discussion around the hypothetical winter themed pack... then i started reading all of this thread and the resemblance with Batuu is undeniable imo.

Im thrilled! I've been asking for sci fi content all the time!

I think that to get to Batuu we'll need to build a rocket. Batuu will be a world from where our sims will be able to access the unkown regions. Those will be 'hidden' by portals like the realm of magic. Batuu may also depict markets with all the material we'll need for deeper space exploration.

There are so many different unkown regions but devs can only focus in a few of them... there are ice planets, ocean planets with rocky islands, deserts... let's see which ones the devs have chosen... i'm really curious about the weather effects.

There are also so many themes that can be explored... i think that there'll be a jedi temple, lightsabers, the force, pleaseeee don't forget the dark side of the force... this are things that, if this comes to be true, are most likelly to be part of the pack.

But then the planets have much more to it... mining and farm elements, even resorts and casinos...

It's impossible that a game pack will have everything, but i believe at least one of this more 'mundane' features will be explored and will be 'usable' in all worlds. Having some feature that can be used by everyone is a way to make people that is not so much into this very niche theme feel that they have to buy it (for example, the military career in strangerville)."
