    I REALLY want more timber kitchen worktop options with this, more modern than the ones we have already

    Though I never used the laundry option at home in TS3, I LOVED the modern washing saloon that came with Town Life. This was such a wonderful urban place! I want it back, and please some new romance options in the saloon :D .

    These were really cool cc pots made my Servobride (@ tumblr), I wish we could have functional planters on tables so we good make "real" greenhouses.

    • As far as clothes: flowy, comfortable looking clothing. Bold colors and patterns. More loafers.
    • Facial hair
    • LARGE windows that let in a lot of natural light.
    • Minimalist furniture design.
    • Space efficient furniture. (Murphy beds, built-in fridge, bunk beds)
    • New clutter! Plants, succulents, pen/pencil containers, potted herbs, Detergent boxes, clothing filled baskets similar to what is already in the game.
    • Sliding doors.

    I would love to see more integrated nature indoors. There are a ton of great designs that incorporate nature and make the border between indoor and outdoor very fluid.

    Next up is hair. I'm imagining flowing styles, kinda the beach/boho waves. But if you do any dreds, please don't make them technicolor. I have way too many townies running around looking like clowns as it is. I want natural, ethnic colors. Let the modders do the wild colors so I can ignore them lol.

    This is about to be really extensive. I got everything from Eco Friendly websites/stores

    When I think of the word Eco, I think of sustainability, living waste free, and leaving the smallest ecological footprint possible.

    Sources
    https://eartheasy.com/
    https://www.bambeco.com/


    Here area few of my ideas
    • Solar Lamps for outdoors, these could be portable
    • double burner stove, or wood stove
    • Compost bin
    • Bird feeders
    • Beekeeping (The point with this is to increase bee population, to help with pollination) Sim Guru Graham shot this down.
    • More types of veggies, such as Swiss Chard, Brussel Sprouts, Butternut Squash, etc
    • Green Houses
    • Natural Pest and weed control (As someone who does try to live Eco Friendly, it actually bothers me when I see my sims spraying pesticide on plants, lol)
    • Chicken coops for free range eggs (This is actually something I am trying to do, towards my Eco Friendly/Sustainability goal)
    • Pressure Cookers for canning, or a canning station
    • Food Dehydrator, for meat, fruit
    • A new shower with a filtration system that could lower cost of bills
    • A toilet that conserves water based on "number 1" or "number 2"
    • A portable grill/stove that could be used for camping if you have Granite Falls, or taking to the park, etc
    • indoor herb garden
    • terrariums
    • Apothecary cabinet


    Now for Photos

    Clutter clutter clutter! Tons more plants, items that incorporate mason jars, I love the idea of a build your own clutter thing! As far as a fashion goes a modern hippie/boho feel would be awesome. Some messy up dos for the girls and some new mid length hair for the guys.

    Also some hair styles where the pinks and blues turn pastel? That would be cool. Just some more pastel swatches for items in general would be awesome.

    I'd like to see sandals for guys and and girls (not flip flops but actual sandals like with a strap) Ideally two: one more masculine and one more feminine since Ik we already have some sandals for girls
  • dogboy678dogboy678 Posts: 200 Member
    Also maybe this pack could reintroduce body hair for men

    These sandals would be cool and they work for both genders.

    Well apparently no one likes them, lol. I just saw a pair on Joanna Gaines and thought they matched the theme :shrug:

    I can see three possible styles for this pack:-

    1. Sleek and contemporary, rather minimalist, chic but using lots of sustainable materials such as bamboo;

    2. Retro hippy/boho style -- colourful and rather cluttered, with lots of reclaimed, repurposed and home-made household objects and CAS items;

    3. Survivalist style -- a more subdued and pared down look, perhaps a little grungy, militaristic, even post-apocalyptic; again with lots of repurposed and self-made objects.

    There may be more, but those are the ones that come to mind at the moment.

    They really are the most likely styles
    I really hope they do the military style stuff, a nice dash of industial style. the game is currently lacking in that department.

    What makes this really hard is that we have no idea what will be coming out between now and the pack. Let's say we get a playable military career beforehand -- we might all be sick of military/industrial style stuff by then (although we could never have too much grunge, in my book).

    I would really love to see a minimalist vibe from Eco-Living, I think it would be a perfect addition to the pack. I found an article from UltraLinx called "24 Pieces Of Furniture That Brilliantly Combine Interior Design With Nature". The furniture looks amazing if you want to check the article out. :)

    Omg I love those pebble pillows! I have no idea how it would work in the game, think it might not, but I want these real life :p The lamp that casts tree shadows I've seen before, it's magnificent.
