Fantasy/Sci-Fi/etc. Themed Packs
With EbN most of the supernatural Life States are in Sims 4. I would of course like more but a general satisfaction that if you have RoM/V/W/EbN you finally almost have the equivalent to Sims 3 Supernatural. Sims 3 Supernatural (my first Sims 3 pack) is what got me hooked on buying all Sims 3 packs and almost the entire Sims 3 store—so that is why I mention it. But because I am a fantasy/sci-fi based player, non-fantasy/sci-fi packs and packs that do not compliment fantasy/sci-fi type themes don't interest me much—so that means there are more packs I rather skip/not buy than buy (but I am also aware many players feel the opposite too). At least that is what I found in Sims 4, it is easier to skip packs in Sims 4 than Sims 3. Also funny enough, I had no interest in the Journey to Batuu (I mean I probably would like the CAS and Build by the rest of the pack I have zero interest), just the Star Wars universe doesn't really have a place in my Sim worlds (but I might buy it (on sale), if they add a Dystopian EP/GP). With this, new packs are really going to have to impress me to buy, otherwise I need hard convincing just to buy packs when they are on sale. So here are some idea for packs that might interest fantasy/sci-fi/themed game style players and may or may not interest non-fantasy/non-sci-fi/non-themed game style players. Steampunk, bring back inventing that is more tinkerer/eccentric based that can work for past, modern and (dystopian) future themed players. I loved using both Ambitions/WA and the steampunk store packs (including Midnight Hollow) to create a sort of industrial steampunk themed game. This could probably be a GP but you'd wow me if you did a EP. Medieval, also a fan of Dragon Valley and baby dragons. I think many players would love to be technology free (no cell phones/computers/TVs/etc.) especially for a non-ECO off the grid challenge. I'd suggest an EP, make it so you can play past/modern tech (or lack of tech). Underground and/or Underwater Biodome, my fav Sims 2 lot was a the Biodome, I still want to see that again revised. But for a fallout or future playstyle this would be so cool. Or even ocean exploration themed. Space Station/Spaceship, or some Future World. I loved Into the Future and Oasis landing! I miss nanites and the regular or dystopian versions of the future world. Whimsical, I loved the Looking Glass/Wonderland store items, I sort of used Midnight Hollow and utopian future to play an Alice in Wonderland theme game. I'd love a tea party table (I loved the store tea set table). This could be a GP or very least a SP (similar to how Paranormal works) but please not a Kit (it wouldn't be enough to work with). The idea of oversized items, from being shrunk (misses oversized flowers). How to make this work for non-fantasy themed players, theme park lots/capability for themed lots, to keep fantasy Sims in certain worlds/lots similar to werewolves staying in their world. Adventure Worlds, aka Al Simhara, Shang Simla and Champs Les Sims, JA is nice but I really loved these worlds too. This is themed but not fantasy/sci-fi so more people should be able to enjoy.
Functional counters and cabinets.
Please make the counters and cabinets functionally similar to storage boxes. And also make them link to the refrigerator so that when you need to use your ingredients, they will be available. That way you can store groceries in them. If you can’t link it to the refrigerator at least let us put things like flowers, crystal, and random inventory items in them.Please Make Mystical and Disruptive Compatible with Macabre
Ever since I heard about the new Mystical Trait, I was so excited to use with my favourite trait Macabre. I just think for a dark fairy or dark spellcaster it be an great complimentary combo. But you "conflicting traits" blocked them... To me the affinity of and to the occults and the affinity of death is ideal for the darker occults and sims. Edit: just noticed Disruptive can't be Macabre either, like wut?Some EnB (including Cross-Pack Compatibility) Suggestions
Without any major overhauls (hopefully), here are some suggestions to tweak EnB, as well as EnB with other packs. I don't think these are asking too much, they are probably even possible for modders to make. EbN Suggestions: Select Sim to choose "Sleep Preference" (similar to utensil preference), so Sims with Natural Living Skill can choose to "always sleep on ground" or sleep on ground when there is nowhere else to sleep. If emotions are absorbed by a friend (or higher) no relationship loss. "Harvest All" works with Aura Blossom, Lightning Root (if possible) and Moody Shrub. "Forage for Apothecary Ingredients" should not contain non-Apothecary Ingredients (I keep getting apples) Remove "computer required" daily tasks from this career, we are in a Natural Living EP, having a computer on lot defeats the purpose.... Other Cross-Pack Suggestions with EnB: Cauldrons or Apothecary Table can both craft/brew Potions/Cures (Realm of Magic) Apothecary Table can also hold Alchemy Ingredients (Realm of Magic) Apothecary Table can both craft/brew Remedies/Cures (Outdoor Retreat) Apothecary Table can also hold Herbalism Ingredients (Outdoor Retreat) Copypasto works on Apothecary ingredients/cures (Realm of Magic) New Lifestyles to better reflect magical (or occults), crafting and/or fable completing lifestyles (Snowy Escape) Moonstone effects Fairies respectively (Crystal Creations) Fairy specific Nectary, also mentioned here by another Simmer (Horse Ranch) Insects added to World, well all worlds preferably (Outdoor Retreat) Feel free to add your suggestions as well.[Suggestion] Aspiration Builder
A base game update that would bring infinite playability to the game is the ability to create custom aspirations. They could work similar to how creating your own holiday works in Seasons. You could name it, and select skills/tasks/etc. to complete for each level. With how many skills and jobs there are in the game, it feels repetitive to only be able to gain points through the same aspirations which may have nothing to do with those jobs or skills. I find myself playing the same things over and over just to get those points. For example, if I could make a Photography-based aspiration under Creativity to go with skills needed for the Photo Studio and tie it to leveling up the skill, selling photographs, taking pictures, etc.

Underwater Diving areas There are underwater diving areas that Sims can explore and that are interactive and actually visible to the player. Players can find treasure chests, explore underwater caves or sunken shipwrecks, harvest seaweed and catch fish swimming around. The fish that have been caught can be brought to the surface and exhibited in an aquarium. There is a scuba diving skill. The higher the skill level, the longer a Sim can stay underwater and the less depressurizing time a Sim has. Aquarium There is an aquarium in town that you can stock with fish and other marine life like colorful sea slugs. These can be caught while scuba diving. There are giant aquarium tanks that you can stock with fish. There is an aquarium tunnel object that Sims can walk through, and it can be stocked with fish as well. Aquariums are a new type of community venue. There are saltwater tanks (with corals and rocks) and freshwater tanks (with kelp and wood branches) Houseboat Houseboats are a new type of home that Sims can live in. Houseboats are editable in Build Mode like a regular lot, except you can't add a basement. Whale watching There are whales jumping out of the ocean that you can go watch with your houseboat. You can offer paid whale watching tours or diving tours with your houseboat by clicking on the tourist information center. Driftwood furniture Collect driftwood at the beach and craft new driftwood furniture using the woodworking table from base game and Handiness skill. Expanded mermaids Mermaids should get their own skill tree like all other occults and more scary looking like Sirens. Sirens could also be a new type of occult. To expand Mermaids they should get… Aquatic ears New mermaid tails Seaweed hair Fish scale skin tone that makes the whole body have fish scales Barnacles on body Scaly arms and legs while on land Fin on head (instead of hair) Sims can become a Siren by getting bitten by a Siren. (Like vampires) Mermaids/ Sirens can drink blood like vampires, but don‘t need to More fish-like appearance Fish-like eyes Freezing abilities Stronger manipulation powers The Siren/ Mermaid skill tree Australian world The town is inspired by Australian beach towns like Airlie Beach in Australia. It consists of two marinas where houseboats are located. New collections Sea slugs: Verco's nudibranch Black-margined sea slug Leaf sea slug Clown nudibranch Orange side-gilled slug Chromodoris nudibranch New fishes Harvest edible seaweed Seaweed grows underwater and you can harvest it and eat it. Shipwreck Exploration There are underwater shipwrecks that you can explore, unlock doors by finding keys in storage chests, by being gifted keys from a local Sim etc. Metal debris blocks paths. Sims must use a sledgehammer to break through metal debris. Requires Fitness skill. Sharks live inside these shipwrecks and your Sim needs to hide from them.
Justice for Mermaids
I’m so glad that fairies are going to be a real occult like vampires and werewolves despite being in an expansion instead of game pack. HOWEVER It makes me so sad that my favorite occult, mermaids, are not one I ever really want to use in the Sims because they got shafted so hard. They’re basically just cosmetic. The main thing I want for them is a skill tree with unique mermaid skills, similar to vampires, werewolves, ghosts (seriously, ghosts do but not mermaids?!) and now fairies. It doesn’t need to be super involved with multiple branches or anything. Even just a few would go a long way. It would be ideal if this happened for the aliens and maybe even PlantSims too but honestly since mermaids are my favorite, that’s my top priority.
