What other story idea do you like for a game pack

Apocalypse edges out Medieval very slightly for me. But I'd love to have both.

A castaway story would be fun but it would have to be implemented differently than the original just because of how the Sims 4 is played. You shouldn't/couldn't really be stuck on the island, so instead give the island a mystery to solve (a curse, buried treasure, etc.). Then provide everything you would need to pretend you are stuck on the island so that players could choose to live on the island as if stuck or just come and visit the island to solve the mystery. It would better satisfy both the sandbox and story driven players I think.

Things that weren't in the poll that could be fun with stories:

Superheroes - Each level of the story would be the super villain slowly implementing their plan to take over the world/city and you have to stop them before it's too late. The first level the sky would darken with random lightening strikes, second level would be random earthquakes on the lot you are at, third level everyone would be angry and fighting in the streets and/or henchman would be around starting fights or freezing sims with freeze guns. At the end you have to destroy the villain's takeoverthecityinator which is causing all these things.

A fairy forest - A wood which at first appears normal, but as you explore it becomes more and more apparent that the fairies are displeased with your poking around. Each stage would increase the magical feel of the woods (fairy lights, glowing mushroom circles, a glow to the sky). At the end you could make a deal with the fairies to return everything back to normal or leave it as is. If you have high mischief you could trick them (beware their wrath) or with high charisma you could befriend them (beware their friendship).

Basically I think the life states which are less likely to get a pack dedicated to them, could be brought into the game by tying a story to them. I could see something similar for mermaids and a treasure hunting story line, could even throw them into a castaway story.

Fallout 4 settlements, sims version. Cyberpunk town with someone looking for a secret identity could be cool as well. Or space adventure on another planet. Or mermaids under the sea, or a unicorn rodeo, or anything, really, that isn't everyday.

^^ This

None. It doesn't belong in what I believe The Sims is and should be.

None for me. I dont like story in a game meant to be about my choices.

Well I am only interested in my Stories and while one half of my stories occurs in the 19th century to present Day. The other half occurs in a fantasy based Medieval world that also clashes with Antiquity, and the Modern World.

I have The King, The Queen The Royal Family, The 7 Noble Families that make up the Knights of the Realm, the Castles, and grandeur that comes with them, as well as The Darkness that threatens the Kingdom, and His Majesty's Life.

The Question is can such a pack support my Story? or would I be playing someone else's? If I'm playing someone else's story, or I can't manipulate the Story into my own at least then such a pack is useless.

Me either. I make my own stories.

Come to think of it, I honestly wouldn't mind another spin off game (maybe a remake) of Sims: Castaway! I remember playing it on the Nintendo DS a long time ago... lol This post actually brought back a lot of nostalgia because of that specific choice! :smile:

I chose Apocalypse since Telltale is now dead. :'( I would like there to be a choice of what type of apocalypse, though I am not sure it will affect the rating of the game, depending on content or new gameplay. :blush: Could be a fallout type thing, where you can build epic underground homes/bunkers; to house a neighbourhood or something. And based on the other packs you have, Skeletons could invade, Aliens, Vampires, Financial collapse, failed containment of Strangerville? Global warming or something, making everything more water, so you would have to build on the ocean, have boats/cruises. Zombies I haven't seen a while, but it might be more of a stressful game to try and survive and not kill your Sim(s). Could have something Sims find hurtling towards Earth, and you have to work out a way to stop it before time runs out, otherwise, all the neighbourhoods are wiped out. At the end of it (once successful), you could live a life of luxury. This might have to be a toggled option, however.

Castaway would be much the same but on an island. There is so much potential- in something where it's not a linear path you have to follow, or you don't get anywhere. Sims 2 got it right, giving players the option to do whatever they want with the Sim in Stories, but you could do whatever you want afterward as well. Medieval and Knights stuff would be great if you could do more than Sims 3, definitely. Anything, where it gives the player the option on an 'open-world' story, leaving the story still there to follow after they have done what they would like to.

Might happen one day, or a mod will.
