      I honestly feel like this would be a great pack to bring back the barrier enrty system or some kind of ticket machine to use the allys

      I'd like to see another arcade or claw machine alongside the bowling alley. A photo booth or any other arcade like games would be great too.
      I hope bowling comes as a skill (hopefully a 10 and not 5). Really want to see those helpful ramps for kids as well.
      I guess we can expect a trailer this month?

      PLEASE let it have a new venue! I think the second gameplay item might be... I don't know? And I really hope it has a little something for toddlers in it, whether it's a new animation or just an outfit.

      In The Sims 3 my bowling alley had several lanes on the main floor, a bar (with real bartender so they could order snacks, etc.), and a double bathroom. Upstairs, there was a pool table, foosball table, ping pong table, shuffleboard, darts and arcade machines - plus another double bathroom.

      So, of those items, I think the only ones we don't have are pool tables, ping pong, and shuffleboard - oh, and maybe a couple of added arcade machines.

      I just remembered - I also had two slot machines built into niches on the top floor that jutted out on the face of the building for a bit of added interest. :smiley:

      I'm hoping it will bring the two arcade machine back as well as vending machines and arcade type machines and most of all the photobooth if they can slip it in.
    • DannydanboDannydanbo Posts: 18,057 Member
      There will probably be only two interactive objects and the alley is one. I would like the photo booth to be the second. The remainder of the stuff could be bowling shirts and shoes and more hairs for men (which I think we really need). Curved, plastic seating, a score table for two and signage. Plus racks for balls.

      I really want a new venue type, but I'd prefer something wider than "bowling alley". It would be awesome if they added arcades. They would work like bars, but they would mainly attract children and teens. It would be the perfect place to put the HUGE arcade machines that we got with GT (really, I just can't fit them in any of my sims' homes), play foosball, darts, etc. It would also be neat (but highly unlikely to happen) if they added inter-playability with Dine Out (for those who have it) and arcades could have a small fast food restaurant in them too.

      Besides a new venue with a full bar, new type of snacks, bowling shoes... I'd love our Sims could join bowling teams and challenge others teams. Having bowling clubs (GT). Your Sim getting a call after work from his bowling team mate requesting his presence so they can participate in a bowling tournament...

      March yes but I think we'll get the trailer the last week of February. Wouldn't be suprised to see the release the first week in March.

      They added darts and those big arcade machines in GT.

      I'd love a smaller variation of the arcade machine but I wouldn't buy a stuffpack for it unless the other object was something I really really wanted.

      A photobooth would be amazing, I hate that toddlers can't get their picture taken in the thing from GTW. A photobooth with a toddler sitting on a parents knee would make me melt from cuteness. Now if the photobooth was 2 Sims going in a booth and shutting s curtain then I would be bummed. But I could see this happening if the photobooth isn't the main object(which it wouldn't be in Bowling Stuff)

      An arcade stuffpack with a claw machine(with a new collection of void critter plushies), smaller arcade machines, and teen themed stuff would be great.

      Definitely the pool table.
      Can't forget air hockey.
      Neon/Glow in the dark bowling night.
      Placing Bets on winner.

      I like all these suggestions but I'm just so not excited about this pack... I'm really hoping I'm pleasantly surprised.

      I'm nervous for this pack. I like the concept, but I just don't know how much they can fit into it as it is only a SP. They're quite limited for its theme imo. Still, I am excited and hope to be pleasantly surprised. I want the same things back as people have said in past comments :)

      I think photo booth is quite possible. A claw machine, wow I didn't even think about that, hopefully developers did it's a pretty cool idea.

      I'd like two different styles of alley - one glitzy for upscale bowling alleys, and one slightly beat up for seedier areas. (I'm planning to convert The Old Salt House into a bowling center if I can, and the beat up alley would suit that better.) Lots of neon signs/lights, including some that can be arranged on a wall in different patterns or be placed at the top or base of a wall and clicked on to make different colors, or even change color when turned on.

      Pool table would definitely be a plus. Not sure if we need an actual Bowling Skill or if it could just be tied to Fitness (Motor for Children). I do want to see some spectacular fails by low Fitness Sims and also Clumsy Sims (falling down in the middle of the lane and the ball spinning harmlessly down the gutter). Claw machine should definitely cost Simoleons, unlike the one in Sims 3 that was free. Imagine a Sim spending tons of money to get that one super-rare plushie! Maybe Evil Sims could have a way of rigging the game to give them free play, or Klepto Sims reach in and grab a prize without playing.

      I don't want too many restrictions on what has to be added to a bowling alley, but I want to be able to attract NPCs if we add a bar or a food cart. Vending machines would eliminate the need for NPCs and would be useful in other places.

      Need more male facial hair -- I was disappointed that we didn't get the thin mustache with Vintage Glamour Stuff:

      A thin mustache and slicked-back men's hairstyle would be ideal for the Bowling pack.
