    > 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.

    In the sims 3 we had "fame" in Late Night and then came Showtime without a fame system!

    Love the idea for a jazz band! My Willow Creek is crying out for a frustrated Jazz saxophonist!!
    The singing skill is a strange one atm, yes combined with the guitar you can be a busker but other than winning karaoke night at planet pop the skill doesn't go anywhere else....desperately want to see a bands GP which would compliment city living/get famous!

    Lol, my Willow Creek has a jazz saxophonist too! He plays at the Blue Velvet of course. But he has to play piano there... grr...

    I'm all for band content but if they do put it in I hope they flesh it out enough to justify putting it in a pack instead of in a free update. I say this because in Sims 2 playing music as a group was a feature of university I think, and band stuff could really be a feature that would have fit with the university EP or the get famous EP in TS4.

    If they want to build a pack around it they need to give us a decent amount of content to justify making us spend money on it.

    Whilst Bands were side features to University and Late Night there hasn't really ever been a bands pack so it would be interesting to see it as a main feature.

    I'm hoping it's either a GP or the main feature of an EP and other things can be there to compliment it....

    Having it as an EP would be fabulous, because then it could include an entire musical ensemble system, and maybe other things like ballet and romantic slow dancing.

    At the top of my wish list.
    Rock Bands, Choirs and Chamber Orchestras.
    Dream on -me- but EP please!

    Maybe they were trying to hint a rock band expansion with the metal music and air guitar in Nifty Knitting!!

    Playing instruments together is now my most wanted feature. MUSIC OF THE WORLD EP I would buy in a heartbeat, especially if they think a little outside the box of what we usually get - though I want normal rock bands too, and JAZZ bands especially.

    But how 'bout something a bit different too? Drums and 2 cellos? Skip to about 2:20 for it to really kick in.

    Something Scottish?

    A little more traditional: Piano and Cello

    And more instruments from the East:

    They've been talking about diversity a lot as a marketing feature, so I hope they bring that concept into music too.

    I would like a broad musical expansion pack that brought on a variety of musical instruments, bands, recording studios, and maybe ballet. However, it's not at the top of my wishlist. I could see having lots of fun with it though if they made it versatile beyond just having a garage band or whatnot. I love doing the jam sessions in Sims 3!

    I think this maybe will be an unpopular opinion, but we already have fame in the game, I think musical instruments should be in a hobbies pack, your sims can form bands as a hobby,and if we have get famous it unlocks a singing career, I really dont want another pack based on fame again

    I think that the fame system in TS Showtime can be focused on the number of fans or hit-list position. If your hit is higher, you will have more fans in the audience and the tickets will be more expensive. Notification proposition:

    „Your track is on the top of hit list this week! Your fans will pay every price to see your show!”

    For magicans this system can be similar. For models better rating will affect to possibility to take a part in more exclusive fashion shows.

    I'd love bands! I've been wanting drums forever. I really want the ability to have a teen garage band so they have more to do and also more musician styles in CAS like punk, goth, grunge, cyberpunk, etc.

    I'm hoping!

    Possibly unpopular but a valid opinion. I think to assure you I think the fame tool is done reasonably well in GF in that it's a self contained feature in that pack. So I think bands can work separately to fame pretty easily unless they decided to bring in the high fame points for gigging in your neighbourhood bar.

    Rock bands would be different, playing instruments together, going to a concerts, festivals, buying tickets, getting band merch, buying the CD's. Recording music in the studio. They could make a whole expansion on this to add all these details, if they do I really hope it's not just pop music like with the Sims 3 Katy Perry. Oh yeah and it would be awesome to have battle of the bands!

    More instruments! We have Piano, Guitar, and Violin, and the ability to DJ. Where are the drums? The saxaphones? The flutes? Instruments that are so OBVIOUS. Yes, I know that means putting together music. Nobody expects a musical pack to come without its complications.
    Prepping a list of mods to add after Infants are placed into the game. Because real life isn't 'nice'.

    There's a new music video by south-Korean singer Hwasa that was produced in collaboration with TS4. And apparently there is an object in the music video that we don't have in game (yet). I don't know if it's true because I don't know the catalog well enough, but it looks like some sort of amplifier to me. What do you think?

    EDIT: Turns out the object is from City Living. Never mind

    Anything that is focused on adding more instruments would be awesome. What I'd really like to see though is a system that supports composing. Like one of those things where you have audio files relating to notes and then you can do your own arrangement. I would value that way more highly than a few more instruments.

    High School Musical?? Kpop??

    That's a big no for me. I guess it's great news for those who are into that. And for your sake, I hope it's well done!

    I'm all for a music themed pack but not of a specific category or based off of more Disney c r a p . I think bits of that in a bigger pack are fine, but the entire pack to be about it?? No thanks, not for me.

    But it's exactly the type of thing EA would do so i guess i have pretty low expectations lol

    But I'm thinking of the possibilities 😌 it could bring bands (maybe better dancing? Or dance groups) Highschools, and highschool musical style drama.
    It sounds like a decent combo 😅😅😅😅

    ew i really hope they don't make music pack into some girl group boy group kpop nonsense

    like no shade on these particular artists they are advertising but oh please no.

    I need jazz bands, rock bands, orchestras, interesting instruments and dramatic singing

    i really wish they don't overdo pop again
