I liked the idea of an EP or GP surrounding the 1950's era; a.k.a the "fabulous 50's"! I always enjoyed The Sims 1 for console, and was captivated by the peaceful orchestrated music. I really would love for a GP or EP to be released that was a bit of a nod to the 50's and TS1. The game that started it all.
This thread will probably be a bit photo heavy, but I'll try and link as much as I can so it's not SUPER slow (I have a pretty bad computer, lol!) That'll include clothing, hairstyles and even accessories if anyone has any ideas!
I'm going to organise it feminine first, followed by possible outfits in certain categories (like everyday, swimwear, sleepwear etc.) and then masculine. Photos will be pairs of two in the links (P1, P2, etc) to ease up on the amount of screenshots in this thread.
Also, remember this is only for the clothing styles, colours and patterns, and can be either altered or added! Let's get started!

I would really like a very simple neighborhood! Something very fake-looking yet aesthetically pleasing? All I can hear is The Sims 1 Buy Mode! or even Mom yelling at me to fix the TV so she can watch her soaps. I wasn't really a super fan of the ever-popular planters in between the lanes of the roads and some of the trees. To me it makes the towns feel more 'magical' than just a town (like pleasantview or something). I always wanted a cheesy suburban neighborhood with white picket fences and very basic 1950s esque homes (and yes, the photos below are from
edward scissohands, lol).
But now what makes it an EP or GP? Usually there's gameplay additions, right? The reason I wasn't sure what to call it was because I really wanted a map to be included into it. I knew a map was big, and thought I could get away with it. I can't forget furniture though. I love the interiors of some 50's homes and would love for there to be old television sets, vintage couches and decor (posted below).
Gameplay wise, I have no idea what could be included.Possibly new types of jukeboxes and record players, maybe even old fashioned cars if cars become a thing? I'd love for this to become some sort of reality, even if it's only a stuff pack so feel free to add your ideas and feedback!

Maybe even have a community lot with a drive-in...err...walk-in theatre?
and i adore the neighborhood in edward scissorhands, i'd definitely take that cheesy neighborhood and put a weird twist on it like the movie did.. like having the neighborhood filled with supernaturals... yet keeping the bright, cheesy atmosphere.
anyway, great idea! i'd absolutely love a pack like this!
LOL!!!!
LOL---I'd love a 50's diner! Greaser simmies and poodle skirts galore! I also love the idea of a cheesy neighborhood but with a dark twist.
Yay! I love 50's kitchen designs. Hopefully one of the Gurus takes a peek at this thread, lol!
It does when you think about it. In terms of era-specific furniture and clothing. I suppose all in due time though.
