That's a nice creative idea. I wonder how the NPC sims would react while attending a baking club get together at a park in a snow storm or a thunder storm.

Haha! You'd have to build one at the top of Mt Koborebi and find out! :D

What a fun idea! Just finished binge watching the Great Britishly Bake Off. For the second time. :p

@simgirl1010 I like re-watching them too. My favourite season is season 3 of the British one, and I think my favourite country is the Canadian one, with judges and hosts from season 1 & 2, and they have such a pretty tent. In my country, they bake in a shed. Sounds ugly, but is decorated beautifully. Does America have a version? All I've ever found is a Xmas special they filmed in England.

OMG you have just completely inspired me! I personally didn't like the GBBO but I looooove Sugar Rush and Zumbo's Just Desserts.... Always wanted to create a zumbo factory but I think I might build a spin off of your idea. I might try a base game version for other simmers wanting to try out this idea who don't have the packs but idk how to build a park and NOT use those city living string lights. I just love those. I'm also going to have to download your park and play out a baking competition now! It's sooooo pretty!

I wish there was some kind of real cooking competition in the Sims 4. I remember one of the Sims 2 EPs came with a Judging table. You'd place it on a community lot, cook a dish and place it on the table, then other non-played sims would place a dish on the table too, all 4 sims would stand behind their dish at the table, then a NPC Judge would come, taste, and then announce the winner. I can't remember what they'd win, maybe simoleans? It was a small fun feature, and there were some pretty cute animations of the contestants being all nervous and anxious while they waited for the verdict.

I reckon that idea could really be expanded on for Sims 4. I wouldn't want an entire gamepack or anything, but a fully developed feature in maybe a Hobbies pack would be fun. Maybe it could be an event, a bit like Yoga Class at a spa. An announcement is made with a theme: "A Baking Competition will start in 30 minutes: Theme: Cookies". There could be different themes that randomly come up. Cakes, Just Chocolate, Desserts etc. We have so much food in Sims 4, they could come up with some really fun themes, and then it would all depend on what skills and recipes your sim has unlocked whether they'd win or not.

Ever since the baking skill was added to that Cupcake machine I've wanted a Confectionery skill added too, so sims could make chocolates they could put into gift boxes, and lollies/candy as small treats that never spoil. They could tie that into a cooking competition too. Ahh, dreaming is fun...

@lzbthnndgls - I hope you have fun building your version, and if you like sharing pics, I'd love to see what you come up with. :)
