What Thai-inspired assets are you hoping for?

I'm hoping for spectacular temple architecture to get some new & interesting spirituality into the game.

I'd like potted orchids that sims can care for and harvestable mango trees. Maybe a rice cooker. And some big temple bells that sims can ring.

Yessssss, mango trees... I definitely hope we get some new harvestables. There have been some real missed opportunities for those over the last few years.

I am really hoping that one area of the world is green and lends itself to historical saves and of the grid saves. Don’t know if that is compatible with the theme of apartments so I try not to get too attached to the idea.

I hope the world has a beach. Maybe harvestable seaweed.

I’d like to see some birds and reptiles ( like lizards and snakes ) we can buy for inside our houses, hopefully tied into parenthood.

I’d like to see harvestable, mango’s like someone else mentioned would be great. Someone else mentioned a rice cooker, I’m always ready for more small appliances, maybe rice could be sold in the market and used as a prep ( tie in with the chef stuff pack we just got ) buying pasta would be nice too.

I always love to see new hair styles!

Beach lots would be wonderful. And speaking of water, I’d love to see some shanty type house boats sims could live in, or at least a new boat that could hold at least 2 people and being able to fish from. Speaking of fish, how about a pescatarian trait for our sims?

Someone mentioned hopscotch, I’d love to see more children’s activities,

I hope the animal sanctuary is somewhat in-depth. I hope we can possibly buy some stuffed animals or toys for infant through children to play with,

I’d love to see a new collection added.

A couple of things I would love added in it before any pack is a costume category, and a trait like simple living for clothing where you have to buy each piece.

I love the idea of being able to make townhouses, and apartments.

It's nice having a second Asian World. And hopefully we will get an African World & Egyptian World someday. ;)

Thailand has dragons in their mythology and culture. How about dragons?

I’d like to see rice and tea as new crops and lots of tradition and ceremonies as well as some new scenarios to help with introducing the traditions, ceremonies and lore. I’m hoping that the animal sanctuary is interactive especially if there was the ability to stay onsite and waking up to seeing the animals through the windows. Hopefully, it has a gift shop to purchase special in-game items eg the elephant teapot. Of course most of this is just my dreams and whims… much like the wheat, corn and sugar crops and relevant milling/processing capabilities that seem like they should have been in the game long ago.

Speaking of mangos, having a mango tree (and maybe a rice plant?) would be a great opportunity to add a mango & sticky rice dish.

Another recipe I'd love to see would be laksa, which is one of my all-time favorite foods IRL. I know it's a Malaysian/Indonesian dish rather than Thai, but I figure this pack will be typical of other packs, in the sense that even if it's primarily inspired by Thailand, there will likely be some elements from other Southeast Asian countries.

I also like the idea of having some small animals added. It seems too much to hope that we would get large animals like elephants** or tigers or bearcats. But some snakes and lizards and birds would be great in an animal sanctuary, and if we could find them in the wild and take them home as pets like in TS3, so much the better. Trogons and kingfishers are pretty cool-looking birds. And the Siamese Fireback, which is the national bird of Thailand, would be a fabulous addition to the chicken coop; it's a pheasant, but close enough. Geckos, skinks, water dragons, various sea turtles (all the turtles!)... Granted, you're probably not going to want to take home a python or a cobra (though they could still have them in the sanctuary, but I'm sure there must be some tree and water snakes that are non-venomous. I do kind of suspect that the animal sanctuary will be a rabbithole, though perhaps one more like the werewolf tunnels with a 1980s-style text-based game.


**If SimGuruDoi has anything to do with this pack, I assume we'll get, like, half of an elephant statue, with the head and trunk missing, at the entrance to the animal sanctuary. And no actual elephants.

In terms of b/b, my fear is that we will get what we often get, which is beautiful designs and patterns, but mostly in weird glaring neon or pastel colors, or wood grains that don't match. So I'm hoping for some more subtle swatches. When I say "subtle," I don't mean "bland." I'm not looking for beige on beige, I just mean, give me some deep, rich, saturated colors, and jewel tones, not just Barbie Dreamhouse colors. (No disrespect to Barbie.)

This could also be an interesting opportunity to add a martial arts activity like Muay Thai, as a substitute for karate from TS3.
