Living Natural Pack Ideas «1234...Next Go

Brennachan

As a mostly off-the grid player, I would love to see a pack centered on "Natural Living," which could be a broad term for Eco-friendly gameplay as well as outdoorsy things to do. It could also include crafts and self-employment options. I've listed some of my ideas and will add items to the list, if folks respond to thread!

Some ideas I have:

*Rabbit Hole Camper/Trailer where sims can sleep and take care of hygiene and maybe have a snack -- we got Decor Campers so we sort of got this
*Hot Springs were sims can relax and increase hygiene
*Nudist Lot Trait (sims become pixelated when on a lot with this trait) -- We got a Clothing Optional Lot Trait so we got this!
*Off the Grid Lot Trait We got this! Woot! Woot!
*Bee Keeping We got this one with Seasons! Woot! Woot!
*Nectar Making
*Pottery Making
*Jewelry Making
*Canning and Pickling
*Organic Options when Cooking/Baking
*Outdoor Shower
*Hippie Trait for Sims -- can take a sponge bath in a sink, group hug interaction, can talk about free love
*Eco-Friendly Trait for Sims -- buying/cooking/baking organic, can only take brisk showers, can talk about green alternatives
*Nudist Trait for Sims -- this sim does not wear clothes and is always pixelated
*Freegan Trait for Sims -- vegetarian sim who does not get dirty when eating out of the trash, is happy around trashplants, makes money from trash
*Self-Employment Opportunities for the skills listed above as well as fishing and gardening
*Eco-Friendly World
*Bicycle that grinds peanut butter
*Bicycle Elevator


What are some ideas you would have for such a pack?

*Basket Weaving
*Stained Glass Making
*Pearl Diving
*Soup Making
*Soap Making
*Candle Making
*Flower Arranging We got this one with Seasons! Woot! Woot!
*Body Hair for men and women (Let ladies have hairy legs -- nothing too extreme, but more realistic for living natural)
*Water Plants with Tears you can do this when you sim is sad!
*Write a Songs for Plants on the Guitar
*Fish Market with Fishing Contests (Sims can come and sell their fish and compete against each other.Categories can include Contests for all ages)
*Glass blowing
*Marble sculpting

Basket Weaving & Stained Glass making... Would be cool...
Maybe Pearl Diving ... I'm not sure if they have that yet!!

Pallystyle

My ideas so far...
Soap making, candle making and flower arranging.
Body hair for men and women. I'd like to let my ladies have some hairy legs. Nothing extreme, but it would help make it more realistic as far as living natural.

Fish market with Fishing contests.

Sims can come and sell their fish and compete against each other.
Categories can include Contests for children, teens, YAs, adults and elders.

Very unique ideas @Svineprutter!

I'd love to see sims sell off their produce to others who would actually come up and pick out their produce and pay for it instead of the ol'drag and click.

I love the wood working skill, however I'd like to see:

Glass blowing
Marble sculpting
Ice sculpting
Clay sculpting/pot making

I want nature walks where herbalists can learn more about herbs. Maybe be able to pick some and berries too for meals.

I'd also like quilt making too!! Maybe be able to have carnivals (like festivals only better) where you can see tilt-a-whirls and other rides, be able to sell your wares, and be able to go to booths and see other sims works.

It would be nice to see the children involved too, maybe they can make those weaved pot holders or some sort of craft, kids at summer camp make bracelets and things like that... Boy scouts & Girl scouts type of activity for the children..maybe whittling wood for children.
A farmers Market..
Sleeping bag .. I like to see my Sim sleeping under the stars...
Weaving- a Loom to make rugs and blankets on...
Dooms day prep-er trait

That's all I can come up with for now, But I will be thinking...


Thanks,

Great ideas @Bear31! For the vending table, you want something else then what came with City Living?

Pinkusfamily

How about a Still to make moon shine..Moonshine maybe different from Nectar making...Bread making - a sewing machine- Seamstress career..

ladyloial

Would be nice if children could learn herbal skills, with adults who have experience in this area.

I imagine Farm living

I actually have a storyline, and I would love my sim to own a winery and brewery. Start a vineyard and Orchard, (doing it now).

And then actual farming, mainly crops make corn/wheat mazes, and pumpkin patches would be cool, I would just like to keep chickens cows/bulls, pigs and alpaca as pets.

There's a dark story kind of like Hansel and Gretel I want where a Sorcerer turns anyone who trespasses on his farm into a farm animal.

Hydroponics with usable wall gardens, armpit hair for both male and female sims, more variety in tents even possibly a stationary bus to live in, compost toilets, water bucket to wash hands, face, brush teeth maybe an army bath sort of animation, hanging plants of all shapes and sizes, some kind of root cellar, raw organic meals, cots, hammocks, pallet beds, upcycled everything, homemade kids toys, more outdoor toys like swings, tire swing, teeter totter, pre-made platform on different trees that we can build onto, a solar shower, Baskets that our harvestables can sit in whether it be on the table or hanging from a ceiling. I will probably think of more but need to get back to editing my video lol.

Yeah!! Like in exihibitions where people sell their homemade/home grown stuff

Pinkusfamily

Archery including it for Children & teens.. I like both @MeaganJo and @MasonGamer 's Ideas.. I was thinking about Witches and Faeries being included in this because they Both use herbs and are kind of earth creatures. I also love the idea of arm pit hair for women ..I would also like to see the washing up in front of the sink feature/ animation..I really like the "tree platform " idea that we could build upon ( Tree house )...How about a meat smoking house, and having certain trees to get syrup from- to make maple syrup...How about a logging Career, like a Lumber jack,or um maybe Carpenter career ...Maybe also a neighborhood kind of like "The Little House on the Prairie " era.. With even Laura Ingalls Family as Sims...

I keep thinking
But I don't want to get off track..
I will check back tomorrow..
Thanks again for asking us for our input !

I love all these ideas!

I would like to see more interactive community lots.

* A camp ground where Sims can set up a tent, have a fire pit, stay as long as they like, have other Sims set up camp nearby (on the same lot).
* A farmer's market where Sims can sell produce, fish, crafts, etc and other Sims set up their stands nearby
* A community garden with the ability to evolve and tend community plants - claim a plot for yourself, etc.
* The ability to do more than "tend" your table (City Living). Sims tending a table and having a sale should be able to entice passersby to buy wares, chat up potential customers, expound on their products, etc. Be salespeople!
* A lot of the previous Sims stuff would work well here: sewing machines, pottery wheel, flower arranging, beekeeping, etc.

I love the farming ideas and can't believe I forgot to add them myself!

Your take on having some supernatural thrown in in very interesting! I hadn't thought of that!
