Which themes you want for those 2020 packs?
I think its a fun thing to do, to speculate what the new year has to offer for us and I thought about a pack line up that could happen this year, but only 2 packs are know so far (both Stuff Packs), s...
Forum Discussion
I was thinking along these lines...Hope you all enjoy!!!
1. Tiny Living Stuff Pack - January
2. Family Fun Game Pack - April - (I hope this includes little things centered around the home)
-giving babies a bath, diaper changing station, cribs
-teens getting acne, acne cream, (always thought braces for a small portion of teen life would be fun)
-couples being able to snuggle at night
-slow dancing/kids dancing on parents' feet
-games, such as rock/paper/scissors and tag, marco polo in the pool
-toddlers/children jumping on the bed
-adding soccer or swim team or chess tournaments to the kids' after school activities
-kids able to make PB&J or use of an easy bake oven
-sims able to watch other people play video games and root for specific players
-making a bus show up to pick up your students
-ordering a pizza delivery
3. Farming Expansion Pack - June
-I was thinking this could be a world, obviously centered on farming and country life; however, it could include a grocery store or farmer's market with the update. Perhaps, a pet store could also be included where the farmer is able to acquire the farm animals or a family could adopt a dog/cat/hamster.
-For the farm life, we could grow veggies or herbs in a bigger operation than just a backyard garden. We could have cows, pigs, sheep, and chickens to start. All products could be harvested and sold to neighbors or sold at the grocery store to support local produce. Sims could interact with the animals, just as they do with cats/dogs. (It could be fun to chase chickens or muddy pigs). A more harsh aspect of farming is butchering the animals. For the meat, sims could kill the animals (without graphic detail of course) and sell the meat or it could be put into their inventory and be place in their fridge for future meals. (I'm not certain on the last part though...). Beehives could be an added aspect.
-On a side note: if the farm was a bigger operation, your sim could higher help, just as you would a nanny or butler. Also, this could tie into fame or reputation with the town your sim is in. The more interaction with the neighbor your farmer has, the more produce/product will be sought after and bought. This could also increase the quality of the produce.
-side-side note: if you didn't want to be a farmer, but have a few animals at home. The milk and wool could be used for knitting or making cheese or just as milk. As the products could be sold, this could be an "at home" job for your sims to do.
4. Knitting Stuff Pack - August - (This will include all the stuff and activities we, as a community, voted for)
5. Maternal Game Pack - October
-I've noticed many people wish to interact more with pregnant mothers or young women.
-We already have the doctor's office. The expectant mothers could go to the OB/GYN for ultrasound, baby gender, nausea medicine; We could also send young adults/adults there for fertility treatments so we could have increase chance of twins or triplets. We could also add in the chance for alien/magical/supernatural child due to the treatments.
-As an added interaction with teenagers, they could have menstrual cycles where birth control, feminine hygiene products, or intercourse talks can be given by parents or the doctor. (This would add a lot of realism to the game; I can also foresee awkward interactions between sims).
-There could be specific maternity clothes, frequent mood swings, cravings for specific foods or an aversion to others.
-Gender reveal parties or baby showers
6. Transportation Stuff Pack - Mid-November
-This could include the long awaited vehicle/moped for teens. Animations include opening the vehicle door, listen to the radio, pull out of drive way. We could have teens study for a driver's license and driver's test.
-There should be a garage, ability to repair the car if broken (change tire or change the oil or fix the windshield wipers); a job as car repairman could be added
-Since we already have bikes, we could give parents the ability to teach children how to ride a bike.
-We could also add skates with helmets and knee pads AND skateboarding; just another activity kids can do from home.
7. Entertainment Expansion Pack - January - (uncertain if this needs to be a world or if it could be added to existing locations)
-This would include staged performances in dance or opera or Broadway. We could add various dance types to learn, such as classical ballet, modern dance, jazz, or tap. The singing field could be expanded to rap, opera, pop, and country. We could add professions, such as director or playwright.
-There could be professional sports, like soccer, football, volleyball or basketball. We could have the sims recruited into professional sports from playing at the university. This could even be expanded to chess tournaments or talent contests, such as an art competition that is judged.
-We could add a cinema, this could even be a film your actors have starred in. (maybe a red carpet moment?) Sims could purchase tickets over the phone, then travel to the theater. They could buy popcorn, snacks, licorice to turn their teeth purple. The movie could start at a specific time and all the sims will sit. There could be abilities to get on peoples' nerves via telephone use or making out in the back of the theater or needing to get up to use the bathroom or disciplining the children for talking or throwing popcorn if your sims isn't please with the film.
-I mentioned this before, but these various activities could be added to children/teen after-school activities. (dance, violin lessons, soccer, tennis, ect...).
