More Hints For Bands?

«13
So there is already speculation that stages may be related to performing bands. Now, maybe it's just my game, but music instruments have been popping up in all kinds of weird places in my game. Tonight, one replaced the product that actor Sims show off during one of their gigs. In this picture, the second guitar on the pedestal used to be a bottle of laundry detergent or something.

Maybe I'm just doing some wishful thinking, but this seems strange to me.

    So do I! I would love it if the system were flexible enough to even include things like a capella choirs and orchestras. And I’m dying for saxophones, drums, and cellos.

    Live band performances at bars and lounges (on their new raised platform stages)? Yes please! :)

    I kind of hope it isn’t. If it’s a gamepack instead, it could include a lot more and go deeper. But I’ll take whatever I can get! :)

    My dream for this would be "Sims 4: On Tour" either gamepack or Expansion pack, with bands and cars, and the world maybe being not so much one large world, but three smaller ones, one with a bar (with stage) one with a variant on the Nightclub lot type, and one with an "arena" lot type, so you can play progressively larger venues.

    Obviously, if it's a game pack, it wouldn't come with three neighborhood sized worlds, just one neighborhood type world that was some sort of stopover town (Think Strangerville, but without the strange - and maybe not American Southwest in feel)

    (Okay, what I'd really like is a selection of single lots you progress through like Rock Band's World Tour mode, but I think I can safely say I'm alone on wanting a world like that.)

    I like your idea of having a bar, a nightclub, and an arena. It would be fun to progress through those levels.

    I definitely wouldn't mind another Strangerville-sized world. I really enjoy Strangerville. I think it would be cool if the world were based on London.

    That's... Such a weird change and nothing is implemented without a purpose in this game so yeah, at least one of the future GP or EP is related to music.
    Bands should have been implemented in Get Famous though. I wonder how a band system could work without a fame system.

    As much as people want bands I wish for updated dancing,ballet and dance groups with boy bands!
    But I'll take this too 👀 lol
    It's a big possibilty. They even changed the stage in sanmyshuno from foundation to a platform according to some people. I didnt check.
    The one that come in the lounge or bar lot.
    Zombies, oh please oh please give us zombies!! :'(

    Oh, yes. I'd like updated dancing too. Ballet would be lovely (so that mods are not necessary). But also two Sims slow-dancing!

    But I also want more instruments. Drums, for instance. Bass guitar and standing bass. Bands would be nice, as would the option for having a quartet who could do music from the past. (Not that I'd need to *hear* it. I play with all the sounds and music turned off.)

    I would like a music pack even if it's not band. I just want more music instruments like african instruments such as drums, djembé, Shekeres, Balafons, Valiha. Of course more western music intruments too (Harps and drums, bass, saxophone, trumpets, accordion) And Asian ones (Ehru, Guzheng, Dholak/Bhajan Nal, Sarangi)...I definitely want more music instruments.

    I’m hoping we get bands and dancing in one pack! 🙂

    Seeing how SimGuruGraham mentioned the platforms could be used as stages and the April survey that had bands as a option the next expansion or game pack could easily be bands.

    Here's what the survey had so this is what we would get...

    Bands
    Go solo or build your own super group, find your style perform your way from YouTube celebrity to sold out stadiums.
    Feel the pressure and demands of keeping the band together, record company demands and the needs of adoring fans.

    It would be interesting to see how EA would do stadiums! I wonder if they would just be rabbitholes or whether we could build our own.

    I really hope if they do bands they include the singer this time. Always been my biggest gripe about bands in this series.
    Hoping some day for some toddlers. But also dreading they'll never come. JK THEY ARE HERE!

    Bands without the option of a singer would be horrible

    I agree that a singer career is a must have! It would be great if it had more than one track, to accommodate Sims who want to be pop stars or operatic singers, for example.

    That's not fair! Hopefully you'll be able to play with sound soon. Did you download today's patch?

    Did you try playing offline? This seemed to do the trick for me, no crashes whatsoever since I've been playing offline, did not have to disable sound.

    I always play offline, but game crashed anyway after the patch. I'm fine though, I've been building and planning some blog updates while listening to non-game music :)

    I'll give any new patch a day before I grab it, I'll just void playing any musicians while I wait :)
