As I mentioned here, here and here, as well as countless other threads, we NEEDS another steampunk set! BADLY. Sure, we've got a ton of stuff in Midnight Hollow and four sets dedicated to this aesthetic. However, two of them are SUPER small and the cas set hardly does steampunk justice.
So, here, I'd like to gather our ideas for a truly amazing steampunk set.
THIS THREAD IS NOW A PETITION
Feel free to add pics, ideas, comments, and support!

Build/Buy
Plumbing: copper pipes, pressure gauges, cogs/gears, cranks and pulleys and ropes and grates/ generic old world plumbing
Steampunk laundry set
A non-functioning water wheel or just a plain old large wheel for decor- MUST be vertical :!: WE GOT IT AND IT WORKS, TOO!

I know some people made good use of the Hot Air Balloon, placing two of them on a boat, but something like these horizontal propellers would be nice, as well. Obviously, they'd have to be large enough.

I think the mens hats we have are actually pretty good but they REALLLLLY need some new hairstyles added to them!!!!
Oh and these are the glasses I'm talkin' about:
ANYWAYS! :XD:
So yeah, if we could get a Steampunk bathroom at least, I'd personally feel a lot better. Full of copper pipes and pressure gauges and cogs/gears, and cranks and pulleys and ropes and grates and deliciousness.
But hey, clock windows, wrought iron gates/fences/doors/arches, and cage lift elevators are mighty fine, too, so a build mode set wouldn't be unappreciated either. With some art nouveau wallpapers and some nifty metal patterns for rust/rivets/steel plates/etc thrown in to give everything an extra UMPH.
And transportation? Some vintage bikes and cars? The TS3 vehicle collection is looking a tad empty....
Dang.
I'm mad now.
But, I NEED Steampunk or even just generic 'old world' plumbing, transportation and maybe more electronics/electronic replacements; seriously, I NEED a typewriter or notepad set-up, even if the typewriter worked exactly like a computer (but without the bad moodlet for technophobes).
So, if this is a petition, I'll sign.

EA, when are we going to get typewriters and rotary phones~!
EA: "Never."
I will be adding your ideas to the OP. :thumbup:
BlkBarbiegal, ME TOO!
AmaraRena, YES to the bustle skirts/victorian set with hairstyles and those hats (I forgot to be more specific about them, when I wrote down hats. Similar to the More Magic one, right? BUT, much bigger with lots of feathers! ).
I think bustle skirts/dresses, in particular would REALLY flesh out this set because, in steampunk, they're EVERYWHERE! If nothing else, I'd be happy just getting a few variations of skirts and dresses.
murfeel,TOTALLY agree with you on Midnight Hollow, which I looooooove. They included a lot, like you said, but I want more! :twisted:
:-o Copper pipes, YES PLEASE!!!And all your other ideas, too!!!!
kellycot1, thanks for taking the time to post. I myself am pretty new to steampunk and I only found out about it because of HollownessDevour. We definitely need some old plumbing! Bad!
murfeel, Noooooooooooo!
If there is enough support for this set(s), I will be adding each of you to the petition!
Showcase
If we can't have the actual Nautilus, a tabletop statue of one would be WONDERFUL!
A standing lamp like this would be pretty freaking amazing!
And men need walking sticks!
THIS hat for men and women...with LONG HAIR!
Some mechanical pets/critters would be pretty fantastic...especially if we could make them at a crafting table like the inventor's table...but, you know, the steampunk version...
SteamSheep! LOL
Squirrel!!!!
And....saving the best for last...
STEAMPUNK BAT!!!!
And one more because it's freakin' ADORABLE!
Showcase
A PC Steampunk bat would be pretty flippin' EPIC but honestly, I think it would be awesome as just decore, kinda like the raven in the Gothique set.
Okay. That's what I was thinking, too.

This is a tea cup hat. Fits with Alice in Wonderland and the Fortune Folly set, too, I think.
