Game Pack Idea: Beach Escape

I'm guessing this has probably been suggested before, but it would be great if they made a game pack in the style of Outdoor Retreat where you could go on a beach vacation. The world would be like Twikkii Island, Sunlit Tides, and Isla Paradiso, basically a tropical island. There would be beach bungalows or beach houses to rent (think thatched roofs, bright colors, etc.) and a beach area to explore. Sims could sunbathe or otherwise relax on the beach, build sandcastles, and search for seashells (new collectable). It might be too much to ask, I don't know, but it would also be cool if they could swim in the ocean and go surfing or play beach volleyball. New objects would include hammocks, lounge chairs, and outdoor showers. There would also be new beach or resort themed bedroom set, decor, and clothing. They could also add new fish and recipes. Unlike Granite Falls, it would be good if there were also a couple of community lots, like an outdoor bar directly on the beach or, if you have Spa Day installed, a spa.

Really hoping they do this, or something like it. I love taking my sims camping but I'm getting tired of it being the only vacation available.

    Also don't forget about resorts. We need those as well.

    I'm pretty sure we're going to eventually see a tropical vacation pack - maybe even soon! A lot of simmers believe that all the plane and beach signs that came with CL are hints!

    I'd hope we get to swim in the ocean, if not I'd hope they make it possible to jump in from a dock or something and swim around. I think that would be 100% doable. It'd also be neat if sims could have some interaction with the beach's shore like "test the water" or something where they stick their feet in to see if it's cold and then do a weird little dance thing if it is.

    Like in OR, it'd expect new house decor and functionality items because in OR we got new bathroom stuff, bedroom stuff, living room stuff, etc. all to fit the theme.

    I also want all the relaxation items beach chairs (the long ones), hammocks and towels you can lay on. And sandcastles of course! Maybe sandcastle-building could be one of those "almost skills" like handling chopsticks. I think they could totally do this, especially because we got street art in CL and I think the area for building sandcastles will probably be similar.

    I completely agree with @griffin1842 that a beach game pack would be awesome. I would release the game pack after the seasons expansion pack so that things like sunburn etc.. would already be in the game :smile:

    There was also some concept art leaked before dine out came out of a beach world and items. Can't find the link but I defiantly saw it last year.

    Yes! Maybe with mermaids and diving like with Isla Paradiso in TS3.

    I would be on board if:
    Sailing gets introduced as a Hobby
    And use woodworking to craft/repair your own boat/raft

    I want some new destinations for my sims, to ski, for swim etc. With hotels and activities, there will be very cool! :smile:

    A beach holiday game pack would be brilliant.

    Beach cottages for sims to stay in

    Beach resort style furniture and decor (this would also be a good time to add ceiling fans)

    Bathing suits and straw hats for toddlers

    I'd appreciate if they included modern and traditional style in gamepacks. So maybe instead of like ten new chairs of one style, we get five of each? That kinda thing?

    Gosh I would love this...and maybe just to be daring, include the nude option like you have in Get Together for those Sims that wish to go to a Nudist resort of sorts ;) But yes, please, this would be an excellent idea!! A beach escape gets my vote big time!

    I love this
  • ChampandGirlieChampandGirlie Posts: 2,482 Member
    Yep, I am interested in this. Doesn't hurt to keep mentioning it to show that there is sustained interest.

    More ideas
    New harvestable plants- coconuts, mangos, pineapple, hibiscus flowers
    New skills- sandcastle building (hidden skill), surfing, volleyball
    New food/drink- drinks served in coconuts, tropical dishes with fruit and seafood
    New Objects- Beach toys for children and toddlers (maybe a big beach ball that they can toss around, pails and shovels for sandcastle building), pool bar, volleyball net (that can be placed on beach and allow sims to play in swimwear rather than athletic wear), lounge chairs and hammocks (as previously mentioned), surfboards

    I would like my sims to be able to swim in the ocean and take boats and sail, the kids play in the sand and build castles, toddlers (Toddlers plain the water too.) I would like them to play games on the beach . We had all of this in Sims 3 and you can hardly expect up not to want it again. Sims 3 is a hard act to follow.

    love it!!! a lot of really great ideas! :)

    not sure if it's doable with TS4, but going for boat rides and skiing behind a boat would be awesome. a tiki bar would be great as well. :)
