Game Pack idea! (Hatestruck)
(a reminder: this is a fanmade cover) The Sims 4: Hatestruck (Game Pack Concept) Tagline: Love hurts. Friendships break. Secrets destroy. Welcome to the chaos. Core Theme: Emotional Chaos & Rivalries Focuses on messy relationships, jealousy-fueled decisions, sabotage, spying, and selfish aspirations. You’re not just playing with relationships—you’re playing with power. Key Gameplay Features Neighborhood Stories: Jealousy & Rivalry Mechanics Jealous Aura: Sims in relationships can develop a jealousy aura. New interactions include: “Spy on Partner”, “Mark as Threat” (targeting specific Sims to keep away). “Possessive Kiss”, “Territorial Insult”. Romantic Rivalry System: Not a relationship type, but a temporary dynamic (like sentiments). Friends can compete over a love interest without breaking their bond—think of it like a "Love Game." Win or lose, it affects confidence, self-perception, and social standing. Romantic Secrets: Sims now carry hidden traits/secrets (e.g. “Cheated before,” “Criminal past”). You can blackmail rivals or reveal secrets to others to manipulate outcomes. Reactions are unpredictable—maybe your partner is into bad boys after all. New Active Career: Burglar Become a burglar-for-hire. Cases are randomized with specific loot targets. Fully active: sneak in, disable alarms, swipe items. Must avoid being seen or caught. Consequences: Some homes have alarms or pets. Get caught? Police chase or fine. Possibly jail time and reputation hits. Special “Legendary Thief” rewards and collectibles. The “Opposite Phone Calls” System Adds reactive storytelling events like: Romantic call: “My partner cheated...what should I do?” Friendship call: “I bullied my friend…should I keep going?” Three response types: Encourage chaos Encourage peace Neutral advice (“It’s your life”) Outcome will influence storylines dynamically—can even change traits or unlock temporary bonuses. New Traits Sneaky: Kleptomaniac + Nosy hybrid. Can eavesdrop, sneak, and steal. Chaotic: Loves mayhem. Gets happy from ruining others’ relationships or homes. Cheater: Thrives in betrayal. Gets tense if not cheating, doesn't regret anything. New Aspirations (Deviance Category) Heartbreaker Rival: Break up couples through sabotage and blackmail. Friendship Killer: Cause multiple friendship breakdowns. Agent of Chaos: Destroy lives romantically, socially, financially. The ultimate puppet master. Mischief Skill Enhancements This pack enhances the Mischief skill: New Interactions: “Forge Texts” “Start Rumor” “Hacking for Blackmail” “Create Love Letter Trap” (makes Sims fight) Add social sabotage abilities like: “Tag as Flirt” or “Fake Crush Confession” Other Features No World Needed – it fits directly into existing neighborhoods. Mini-Events: Jealousy-based holidays, love triangles, or secret betrayal parties. Object Unlocks: Burglar tools Spy camera Secret journal Fake relationship documents “Heartbreaker Wall” (trophies from broken couples) Why It Works for The Sims Expands on long-standing desires (burglars, deeper jealousy, love triangles). Adds depth to basegame systems (Mischief, relationships, phone calls). Enhances storytelling for players who prefer drama, chaos, and villain arcs. Appeals to both gameplay-focused and story-driven simmers. 1. Feature Menu Mockup (Pack Info Overview) The Sims™ 4: Hatestruck – Game Pack Love is war. Rivalries spark. Secrets burn.

Pigs stuff pack ideas
Since we didn't got pigs on Cottage Living or Horses Ranch (and i don't see where else they could come) why not bring it on its own stuff pack? They could work like the mini goats, chickens, etc. being kind of an object. It could also be an oportunity to bring more modern farm clothes (and finally lots of needed male overalls) or even some hippie fashion.
Have active Sims wear the same festival-appropriate clothing as other attendees
I love the Romance Festival's palette and never think to have outfits prepared when my Sims attend a festival. It would be great to have the option to switch to a festival themed outfit. Another option would be to add more than t-shirts, etc for sale at the festival booth. And the Ravenwood gatherings... folk in crow suits? I'd love to have every resident wear something similar. :) I haven't seen a mod that handles this.Animals and household slots
Why does cats, dogs and horses fulfill slots in the household if we can't control them or see their moodlets, actions and needs throught it? I know they may need it for customization on CAS but they could fulfill extra and hidden slot. That way they'd give more space in the households for actual sims that's already not enough.Can we have a india based pack? (Expansion Pack)
I've heard a few things about that country like some kind of a tradition such as: festival of lights (diwali), holi party, Makar Sankranti, Vasant Panchami (divali) to name a few What if some of these things can be added as an event just like a couple of worlds like San Myshuno, Henford-On-Bagley, Mt Komorebi, Copperdale and Ravenwood? Clothes wise: And some accesoires i don't know the name for it Hindu buildings A very hot climate It needs to come as atleast 1 or 2 aspirations and personalities Buildings you can interract with even if you can't edit them Similair to other worlds with a small shop you can buy items (speaking for worlds like Tartosa and Ciudad Enamorada to name these 2 worlds but there are other worlds you can buy some unique items) More curly hair options...longer hair too More food options when order them at a bar I can't think of other things, these are based i came up with but we barely have an Asian based packs and worlds (Mt Komorebi and Tomarang) i changed the tittle a bit because Expansion Pack always comes with a world...except Seasons but i want an india based pack for sureCan we have a toddler based pack?
I just have a thought on this, i still haven't figured everything out but i don't think the team have done this before but for some realistic gameplay i'm thinking about having a toddler based pack (Expansion Pack to be exact) We can have a world which is centered on toddlers, we should have more toddlers stuff, more options for an already existing skills so they can learn things a little faster, more activities to do for toddlers Little kids can have a bit more interractions with toddlers, even more realistic gameplay A small amusement park for toddlers More toys for toddlers (including classic things before tablets were a thing) like more stuffed animals for examble Have games options that's based on toddlers, some games can be played by like almost each lifestages (except babies and infants) Playground that's made for toddlers, Swings, Toddlers Swings at the park Have a swimmingpool that's made for toddlers with mini watersliders, more variety for the toddler pools More unique hairs and maybe some should come with some cute items, more toddlers clothes It's not mandatory but the parents (or other caregivers) can register toddlers for preschool by either using the computer or phone so toddlers can hangout with other toddlers from their age and become friends with them More book options for toddlers older lifestages can tell toddlers stories on a book (even little kids so they can learn how to interract with toddlers) Daycare career for adult and maybe even for teen sims even if it's a rabbit-hole A new venue type called "toy store" so the parents can buy stuff for toddlers (infants and children are also okay by me though) so toddlers can make a good use of it Lot trait: Toddler friendly Atleast 2 new personality traits for toddlers: -Spoiled brat meaning they get a happy moodlet if they get things they want but gets angry if they won't get things they wants -Grouchy meaning it's difficult for toddlers to have a happy moodlet, they are more often in a angry moodlet Pacifiers, Strollers and Car Seats I know we have storybook nursery kit based on toddlers and a stuff pack based on toddlers exist but it's so small i want more options for toddlers and an expansion pack called "growing together" is for like each stages I can't think of other things but maybe as for the basegame update they can call not only a certain sim to ask certain sim to hangout with them but also have other household invite them over just like The Sims 2 did for a more realistic gameplay and this time they can include atleast infants and toddlers so the parents can bring them over so other sims can meet infants and/or toddlers and if an another toddler is in the house 2 toddlers meet each other and play with each other In my opinion it should be an expansion pack even if most of the gameplay is focussed on toddlers
