The New Instruments

A common request is a musical pack - one that allows you to create a band. Keeping in mind we have a Piano and Keyboard, a Violin, a String Guitar and Electric Guitar, an Organ, our Sims can use a Microphone and Kareoke Machine...

Any kind of Bass Guitar, Ukelele, keyboard, etc would just be the same animation. And some instruments would be so similar in animation that you could have both animations but you'd certainly need radically different sounds from your audio team. I've noticed we have no wind instruments at all.

So, what very different instruments would you really like to see the most?

  • I chose drums because, well...Of course we want drums. But I would love a harp too, it has such a beautiful sound. And a harpsicord. And, if we ever got some kind of Scotland related pack, I would love bagpipes. I know a lot of people don't like them but, too me they have a wonderful sound. Must be my Scottish blood coming out.
  • A drum kit would be awesome.

    Do we have electric guitars though? I've not seen them. I'd love to hear my sims shred and pull off sweet solos. It might be the same animation but its a very different sound.
  • We need a woodwind/brass instrument. I'll be a broken record again, but... We have never seen a single playable woodwind/brass instrument in the entirety of the series, save for the snake charming instrument, which albeit a genuine world instrument, is only there for the snake charming function.

    Any of these:
    Woodwind: Flute, Piccolo, Oboe, Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone, English Horn, Baritone Saxophone, Bass Clarinet, Bassoon
    Brass: Trumpet, Horn, Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba

    If we were dealing with a world or historical world there are plenty of other options, as well.

    This poll disheartens me. But how is it that we're 6 nearly 7 years in this game and it doesn't even have a Drum Kit? =/
  • I actually would love to see all the instruments but drums are so basic that missing them is just dumb
  • It was a toss up between drums and bass. I see from the poll results that there is no love for the bassists like myself, haha. But being that those instruments were included in past iterations it'd be great to see them in TS4. Drums and bass are important!
  • Love saxophone music it would sound so amazing in a lounge in the game. I was going to pick drums as we need drums but saxophone would be so amazing and a new instrument to add to the series.
