These all sound wonderful, and I'd definitely enjoy any one of these in my game, though the amount of features you have for each pack would probably make your 'stuff packs' considered game packs and your 'game packs' considered expansion packs, based on previous packs released in the game. I'd personally LOVE for stuff and game packs to give me this much for the smaller prices, but I don't see that happening, unfortunately.
I like it.
It needs to happen.
They should scrap the island pack, and put out this instead!!
i) Preparing a meal = Sims can use a spoon, fork, spatula, pan etc. Therefore, they can use those utensils from counter/cabinet like in Sims 2 while cooking. You can watch "TS2 prepare a meal" on youtube.
ii) We can buy groceries and stock up to fridge.
iii) We can Travel using a taxi..
iv) We can call gardener service for gardening in sims house. Sims can trim the leaves and flowers like TS2.
#it's will be more realistic for the sims 4..
Winter Vacation/ World
-I want to ski and do other snow things, maybe some natural hot springs, and new Northern foods/traditions
-Caves, I want to fall threw a cave and find a Yeti, who saves me /playable Yeti's
Werewolfs
-A world that's very forestry and earthy. Comes with new jobs like firefighter, Gem hunter, test subject
Superheros
-5 super powers, that you have to be born with (no idea what the powers would be)
-Chance to be good or bad
Alien World/Future World
-Livable world with mostly Aliens (or out in the open aliens)!, new holidays, new cultures, new foods and fashions
-possibility to make and build robots/spaceships
-new alien looking pets
Farming
-New animals that product goods, but do not take up household slots
-Chickens (roaming or in coop), goats, sheep, cow, llama, horse
-new hobbies like, canning, making sweaters as gifts, and possibly selling/buying animals at auction
-new plants, more foods that take and use plant inventory (the more you make the more it takes)
-stand out by your house that you can put fresh goods at and people can walk past and buy it
-farmers market and swap meets
Other Occults
-Fairies with their own world, a swim able hidden waterfall
-Ghosts that you can choose to play when your sim dies, but more so in a stuff pack
-Genies with their own world, or from a vacation spot that you can cave hunt in and find a lamp
-bonehilda and other NPC skeletons as servants (like postmen)
University (not as high on my list)
-College, classes that turn into careers
-other types of schools for kids, send your kids off to a military school, or art school, or let them get a GED, or homeschooling
-Jobs, that actually use your degree
Greece/Italian/Venice type world
-swimmable ocean/water
-artsy world
-new foods
Midieval World
-Dragons
-Castle, and other old timey things.
Stuff Pack Ideas
-Music Class - a lot more instruments, careers in music like symphonies, or a rock band
-Get Cooked - you can now take cooking classes, become world famous for cooking, make a cooking show ect
This is everything I want for the Sims 4
a Tiny Living stuff pack would actually be pretty awesome. I love building tiny homes... it's always a challenge what you can pack into a 4x4 lot. It would be the perfect pack to add murphy beds, cooktop stoves, mini fridges, and 3-in-1 bathroom (shower, toilet and sink). Perhaps even a new lot type- "Tiny House Community"; rather than having 3 or 4 neighborhoods it could consist of one large lot with 8x8 rental plots where could create a tiny house community (5 to 6 families could live on one lot).
EDIT: Oh I noticed that you mentioned the recording studios there! Phew 😅
When you first buy a new house you have the option of having it furnished or not. If you click unfurnished you’re taken to the new home and the only things in the house are the bathrooms, and the kitchen. Things that are built into the home. But if you click a toggle realistic move in button in settings or something like that then go into build/buy mode and furnish/fix your home then go back to live mode everything resets to the way it was when you moved in. Except now there are boxes where the furniture and items are meant to be. If it’s the flooring you changed in the room there are boxes of flooring in each room and you must click to unbox them to change the flooring. If it’s wall paint you changed there are cans of paint next to each wall, or boxes of tile, paneling, wall paper, etc next to the walls they were on. Again, you just click it and watch your sim paint or apply the materials. If in build mode you took out walls inside the house you see a sledgehammer next to the wall. Clicking it will make your sim go over. One swing knocks out one section of wall.
It’s such an interesting idea and probably can’t be done with the current graphics we have but I think if sims 5 was made with this in mind from the beginning it could be done really well and make creating homes so much more fun. For me, I love flipping houses in the game but it doesn’t feel personal to me for my sims. I did the work, not them. They showed up to a frumpy house and then suddenly in the blink of an eye it was beautiful. I just want to see them doing work on their house.
And maybe there’s a house flipper/interior design career we can do in the sims 5 where that game play is required to advance in that career. I think I would have a lot more fun with house builds if I actually saw it being done by my sim.
agreed
we need a band. one with singers this time. drum and base items. recording studio. going on tour. live venue perfomances on stage with props and lighting an effects
also like the idea for the rebuild stuff pack
miss the building career from the sims 3
Apart from that I still need University with lots of majors to choose from (majors that actually fit the existing careers we have) and of course I still would prefer shorter teens or preteens and free babies.
- Everything to do with things that go up/are up.
- L stairs, U stairs, spiral stairs, sweeping staircases
- ladders, elevators, fire poles, uh.... teleporters?
- Ceiling color/pattern options.
- maybe an option for split levels?
- decorative parapets (especially Mission and Gothic style)
- Mansard roofs and automatic hipped roofs that conform to the shape of the room below.
- i have no idea what buy mode or CAS items there would be, I just want the fancy staircases and also a ladder.
Also, a rural area town pack
n like a hairstyle n clothing pack
I would really like to see sports and other after school activities too. But the kind of activities that you can actually see (no rabbit holes). In general I would love for TS2 hobbies (like pottery, ballet, etc.) to come back in some sort of pack. Stuff pack probably isn't realistic (too many animations and gameplay related objects) but who knows. The difference between Luxury party stuff and Moschino stuff pack is huge so maybe it will be possible one day.

I have this one:
I have an idea too for a Svandinavian (Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Icelandic inspired) farm pack:
Introduction:
Welcome to the sweet country life in the Scandinavian! Move you family into a modern farm with simplistic furnitures and make a big fortune by having a lot of animals and crops and producing weed, nectar, milk, wool, meet and eggs. Or if you prefer the simple life, start a traditional farm with a few chickens and perhaps a horse and dress up with a flower crown.
Do many activities like sewing, knitting and nectar brewing. When you are hungry, enjoy eat out meal, meat balls and layer cake.
While the adults are working, let the children play with wooden toys or jumping the rope. Or perhaps they will make a perform a viking play for the grandparents.
When done working and playing, let the whole family dress up in traditional Scandinavian clothing and enjoy the folk dance.
Or just go for a walk or take the bike and enjoy the northern lights, high mountains and green fields with the solar and wind power systems in the distance.
The scandinavian countries are known for the happy populations. The reason for this is not the rainy weather, but our welfare systems: Sometimes you can’t find a job cause everything is taken. Or you are too old or sick to work. Or perhaps you are just studying, your parents are poor and you do not have time for a job. But don’t worry - the society’s got your back! Everybody will get a decent amount of money and pay a bit of taxes - and everyone, young and old - will get a basic income in return if needed.
Themes in build/buy/create a sim:
All items in build, buy and create a sim has two different aesthetic themes: A modern theme and a traditional theme (perhaps based on the scandinavian / north european 1950s).
Small activities:
Sewing machine
Knitting
A few new recipes or updates of old recipes
Medium activities:
Butter and cheese making
Flour making
Nectar brewing
Chickens and eggs
Big activities:
Cows
Sheep
Create a sim:
Clothes and hairstyles
Horses
New farmer aspiration
New farmer trait (makes you gain farming related skills faster)
Skills
Wool making, sewing and knitting
Butter and cheese making
Weed and flour making
Nectar making
One big world
2 smaller lots (for traditional off the grid farms) - for small and medium activities:
These lots have an edible part where you can build a house and place a chicken house and a few animals and hand run machines for making butter, cheese, flour.
The none-interacting surroundings of these lots are more traditional with nature, old farmhouses and mills.
2 bigger lots (for modern farms) - for big small, medium and big activities:
These lots are bigger and on the edible part you can make a modern farm/ranch.
These livable lots have access to non-edible lots where you can access your many sheep, cows or horses.
1 community lot:
The aesthetics of the lot is based on the traditional and modern style mixed together
Farmers marked: Her you can sell and buy
Every livable lots have an edible part where you can build a house and place a chicken house or a few animals.
Scandinavian culture:
Food:
Oat meal
Layer cake with cream and strawberries on top
Meatballs with potatoes and brown sauce
Activities:
Folk dance (people dancing in groups with tradional clothing)
Midt summer festival (traditional clothing, flower decour, flower crowns, big bon fire)
Biking
Children plays:
Playing with LEGO (scandinavian brand)
Wooden toys
Jumping rope
Architecture:
Today: Very simplistic, often black/white or lighter brown and nature colours
Before: Houses made of red wood and house made of stone
Nature:
Northern lights (aurora borealis)
Flat, green fields and high mountains
Could during the winter and mild summers, often raining
Society and history:
Welfare states (free education and health care)
Liberal values like equality and atheism
