While Parenthood is an awesome pack, there's still a need for Generational content.
A pack like this could have:
Any other ideas?
A pack like this could have:
- Proms -- sometime while your Sim is a teen, there'd be an option for prom. Your Sim would get invited similar to the current invites that came with one of the other packs, and if accepted your Sim spins into their formal wear and goes to the prom location, like one of the night clubs.
- Some sort of special event for when Teens age to YA -- maybe a Graduation Party or some sort.
- More wedding gear and other improvements to weddings, automatic paid 3 days off for "honeymoon" or just settling in as a couple.
- Midlife crises and other aspects to set apart Adults from Young Adults.
- Retirement party when Sims become Elders and retire from their careers
- Part-time jobs for elders
- Optional walking canes.
- Better death system: Sims aware when relatives and close friends die, ability to hold a funeral party or wake, some sort of inheritance system where Sims would get a portion of the value of the estate or maybe a prized item to pass through the generations, players could designate who would inherit (so you could have a "black sheep" member of the family who gets nothing) and who would receive the urn with the deceased's ashes).
- Return of cemeteries: a Mausoleum building where the urn can be placed, or it can be placed outside and turn into a gravestone, for those who don't want to have the ghosts show up on their home lot. Ability to write epitaph on headstone like with the headstones from Vampire GP ("Here lies Don Lothario -- 'What do you mean your husband's home?'"
) Perhaps ability to click on gravestone to select stone style (2 or 3 varieties)
Any other ideas?

A little bit off topic, but still kind of relevant: university. I know it's probably coming, it has for the other Sims games, but I really want this to happen. I remember back in The Sims 2 there were these cutscenes of your sims that would happen when something important was happening (giving birth/first kiss/wedding etc) and there was a cutscene for when the young adult moves to university and away from their parents. The parents are crying and are worried and stuff. I would love if they at very least could have a "goodbye party" or hugs and moodlets to signalize that the family knows the sim is moving away/growing up..

What do you mean by there? I'm sorry, I don't understand that part. Could you explain more about that, please?
Hi @egonVM -- With the decorative headstones from the Vampire Pack you can write epitaphs (I think you can on the regular ones as well but not sure). You click on the headstone and select "Engrave Epitaph..." and a pop up box appears where you can fill in the name and a short saying for the epitaph. I used a humorous one for my example, but you could do something like "Bob Pancakes, beloved husband of Eliza. May your pancakes in the Afterlife be forever fluffy" or "Bella Goth, dearly departed wife of Mortimer, mother of Cassandra and Alexander. Missing from our lives but forever in our hearts." Then when you've got another Sim active you click on the headstone and "read" the inscription.

Thank you for explaining.
Yes, you can write epitaph on regular gravestones, but the epitaph would be shown when you hover the cursor over it.
I have built a graveyard that I have filled with decorative gravestones from Vampires (There are 3 of them, but 2 of them require this pack). When someone dies, I'll just replace the decorative one with real one.
Anyway, I like this idea. I would like to add Baby Showers there so parents can invite their friends and relatives over to see the baby.
I've suggested in other threads that there should be more "fails" for adults when Trying For Baby because older women (those in their 40s and up) do sometimes have issues with conceiving. It could get players to consider how long they they have to get their family started. A menopause stage during the age stage would be good as well. I use the MC Command mod, and often I'll have a Sim get pregnant, have their baby, and shortly thereafter age up to Elder. Happened to Nancy Landgraab; she and Geoffrey are now raising a toddler; I shoud go play them enough to add Malcolm and his wife Liberty (nee Lee) as caregivers in case Geoffrey and Nancy bite the dust.

The inheritance part only happens when sim dies by old age (not by any death).
Inheritance is something many want back. Elder sims should be able to leave their money to friends and family so they can use it for noble reasons (or to buy a new video game set).
I'd like to see inheritance for any sort of death -- it gives possibly some new gameplay ideas for our more deviant players (befriending Sims then killing them for the inheritance money).
