    What about hotels

    As someone who mostly uses build/buy mode in these games, I would love to see a stuff pack for boho and farmhouse items. It would also be neat to add hotels and apartments you can build yourself rather than only being able to remodel the pre-made apartments.

    Also, cars and actual garage doors would be nice, too! :)

    *A cross-post from the wish list thread because apparently I am blind and did not see this expansion thread..*

    From the rising popularity of gourmet coffee, I am surprised that there is no way of being an owner of a functional Coffee Shop/Roastery. Sure you can use the DO or GTW packs to work around it but that usually breaks immersion and does not have a satisfying feel to it. Below is a list of bullet points in which we can expand the potential career opportunities for coffee and coffee accessories.

    -Doesn't need to be a full fledged expansion, maybe a game pack should suffice
    -Develop on a coffee skill 1-10 (Including the making of coffee or coffee roasting)
    -Coffee roasting can give off buffs/emotions like most crafting skills in the game
    -It can either be an interactive career or based off the platform of DO, in which you can: Source raw beans from different regions of the world, roast coffee beans, make coffee (via espresso, pour overs, drip, etc.), talk to guest in the shop, and more.
    -Even if the player is not career driven towards coffee, the personal use of the coffee skill may help benefit them to learn other skills faster or help aid in their career promotion (from emotional boosts) can help create synergy to the general Sims game play as a whole.
    -the game pack can include minimalist build and CAS items as that is the current trends of most hipster coffee shops.

    In conclusion, I believe that the aesthetics and immersion of one's passion for coffee that would make this pack worth wild. Additionally for non-coffee enthusiasts, the expansion of the coffee skill would put an extra layer of mirth on their sims playthroughs and/or help create lot builds with the minimalist aesthetic that can be simple yet refined, zen-like, and/or a functional feeling. One can only wish for this game pack to come true, but I am doing my part in at least giving it some exposure and so that if there are others that agree with me, that wish may become a reality.

    >feels bad when not being a C O M F Y coffee shop/roastery owner in the Sims



    I miss sims being able to work as baristas and get paid for it.

    Battle of the Bands!

    Please finally allow sims to play music together and even form bands.

    FUN FACT: The Definition of "JAM" is: "An informal gathering of musicians to play improvised or unrehearsed music."
    So why would we leave our sims to do this activity alone?

    Allow sims to throw house show parties!

    Add some Jazz and Rock instruments:
    Drums, Bass, a trumpet and sax.


    Create Battle of the Bands event
    (maybe with some hierarchical fame system similar to the get famous pack)


    Bingo.




    maybe make a world based off Memphis, Seattle, Austin or NY
    (bc the base game already has a New Orleans inspired world)
    or embrace the base game world

    We also need to create a pop groups as well. We want a Simlish version of I Want It That Way.

    How about a gothic pack? At the moment thanks to wall and floor patterns and police cell doors, we can create dungeons in basements but what about having chains and wall manacles? This would be nice for vampires.

    The Gothic Pack can be considered a Stuff Pack

    I think a Travel with Vehicles & Garages should be the 10th Expansion Pack

    We need more floors especially carpet designs there isn't many in The Sims 4 more colour choices would be lovely too. More wallpaper designs. More musical instruments and clothing and hairstyles based on music tastes would be awesome. What about not just fridges but also chest freezers too. I was hoping that seasons pack would have had apple bobbing as an activity. In terrain tool medium and long grass and other terrains would be great ... then you could have a normal lawnmower, a robot lawnmower and a sit and ride lawnmower choice for outdoor/gardening activities. Other shapes of swimming pools, What about a culture expansion pack were you can make sims from anywhere in the world and do traditional activities and have buy and build items from anywhere in the world even from ancient civilizations and cultures to embrace it all. Also for athletic career you could have things like American Football complete with real NFL teams that you can get good enough to join as you get promoted complete with the proper kit and helmet for that team and the same for other sports too. More career choices would be awesome. :)

    Casino Lifestyle

    Inspired by The Diamond Casino & Resort DLC in GTA V.

    There will be a new world. Also, there will be a new lot type, which is casino. Aside from residential lots, there will be apartments (particularly penthouses) as well, perhaps on the top of a casino building.

    A new commodity will be chips, just like bits and pieces in Eco Lifestyle, and are distinctively separate from money.

    Objects will include the following:
    * Slot machines
    * Betting shop for thoroughbred horse races [Inside Track]
    * Lucky Wheel - A Sim can only spin it once every 24 hours. Outcomes will be Simoleons; tangible objects like computer, appliances, etc.; chips; and nothing
    * Three Card Poker table - a casino dealer might be manned to work (If you place it at home, you can request any Sim to man the table)
    * Blackjack table - a casino dealer might be manned to work (If you place it at home, you can request any Sim to man the table)
    * Roulette table - a casino dealer might be manned to work (If you place it at home, you can request any Sim to man the table)
    * Luxurious furniture similar to Get Famous
    * Standard 52-card deck


    New skill: Gambling

    New aspiration: (It's up to you for naming it)

    New career? (Not sure of this)

    New trait: Gambler (almost similar to Materialistic, but it tackles more of autonomous gambling interaction, this will be under Lifestyle type, conflicts with Freegan)

    Integrations with other packs:
    Seasons - Gambling Day
    Get Famous - Winning a gambling challenge or getting a champion in a slot machine will gain fame


    If you have more ideas about this, you can quote this post and make a comment on this.

    Because it is about money and gambling they could add banks, cash machines and bank accounts

    A space themed expansion/game pack.

    I don’t even like scifi that much IRL but I just really want a space exploration pack for the Sims. Expanded GTW aliens (?), Spaceship houses, new alien planet(s)/expanded Sixam, aliens collectibles/recipes, alien city with new apartments, maybe an evil alien boss similar to the Mother from StrangerVille and/or a new type of alien. There’s lots of things that the devs could do with this kind of pack and a lot of references they can pull from e.g. Star Wars, Mass Effect etc. They could bring back Tiberium mines?

    The CAS would range from classic ‘human’ uniforms (think Star Trek) to crazy alien fashion (think Hunger Games Capitol citizens).

    Playing as an alien would make gameplay slightly easier because they wouldn’t run out of air and have an easier time finding things/talking to the locals. Non alien sims would have to learn the alien language and alien customs (new skills) etc.

    I don't see it here, but I would like to suggest a Real Estate Career.

    You could simply sell homes (a business), or you could buy homes, fix them up and sell them at a profit (Flipping) The better you are at meeting the client's needs - the more money you make. Success could be based on: client wants, your skill as a realtor, your skill as a salesman, charisma and/or the desirability of the location (a posh neighborhood)

    On a smaller scale, it would be neat to sell your own home - at a profit if you have done upgrades or at a loss if it has become damaged or dis repaired. (Fire, broken furnishings)

    Go for A Travel Expansion Pack, French Theme is integrated to the Travel Pack with vehicles & garages.

    I want a supernatural EP to flesh out our sparce vampires and ROM worlds and introduce werewolves and fairies. I would like for our supernaturals to feel like they're already living in the world, like they did in Sims 3. Having to add a vampire basement to a house can be a hassle sometimes and it's even more annoying that there are ONLY 5 lots in vampires and also few in ROM. They should have been EPs.

    > Can sims finally be able to jam music together? Like, play music collectively, or even better included, make a band, add some instruments. Jazz and Rock. There are more than solo musicians in the real world! Come on!!!

    YES! We need the drum kit back! It would be really cool to add wind instruments too and create a big band. They they could add couples' dancing like swing, slow dance, waltz, etc. I would really like to see them take ballroom classes together, but I digress.. LOL

    Awesome :) Then they could also integrate a future world like TS3 Into the Future! I miss that pack...

    Would love more places to go and things to do in Sims 4. I would like to see an expansion pack with restaurants from different cultures, for example Indian, Chinese, African, etc. Chez Lama gets boring and there's never any new dishes. I would also like to see movie theaters, stadiums, concert venues, theme parks, and casinos.

    Maybe casinos, concert venues can be a Game Pack. I think a Travel Expansion Pack will do.

    They're part of the Travel Expansion Pack

    I think there should be a whole farming expansion pack. Have farm animals, grow crops, sell your goods. There could be horses, cows, sheep, goats, chickens, you name it! This would take a lot of work though as those are a lot of animals to create, but it's something to make the game a little more fun, and maybe a little more challenging. There could even be weather effects on the crops and animals if you have seasons, and if you don't take care of them properly. Though I guess this would be more of a game pack because it would kind of play off of seasons you know. Stardew valley style, certain crops for certain seasons.
