I want to play a pirate. Swab the deck, have some sword fights, sail around the sea, rob sims of their money, create anarchy.
they could incorporate some sims medieval mechanics and gameplay , as the game had robbery, sword fights, alcoholic beverages, parrots, treasure hunting and a couple other things.
I posted this yesterday in Answers HQ because I couldn't figure out how to post my own message in this forum, but it'll answer your question of what I had in mind!
You're all welcome to share your ideas too, or if you agree or disagree with anything. I came up with some ideas of the next expansion pack. I gave it a great deal of thought and since we haven't had a desert kind of world since Oasis Springs, I thought maybe the next world could be based on a country from Africa or Australia. I also came up with some of the following things it could include:
- Dust storms and droughts
- The risk of Sims getting dehydrated, mosquito bites, or them getting sick from the bites.
- Wild animals that Sims can see
- Safari rides with instructors (that may be asking for too much)
- Traits like brave or intimidated and wildlife enthusiast
- A nervous or scared mood
- Jobs to help protect wildlife animals, to help the economy, and to help Sims affected by the droughts, or there could also be a mission tied to it where a Sim can help save the day.
- If it includes a section that also has a beach, there could be the option to surf or go water skiing!
- Boats or yachts you can ride in with other Sims
- Being able to sit on a beach towel and eat
- Hotels or resorts
- An option to be able to swim in lakes if there are any
- More festivals like the ones in Snowy Escape that tie to one of these worlds
- More sentiments
- A way a Sim could recall certain special memories with someone, or something like a memory journal
- And this has nothing to do with the worlds, but I really do hope that maybe they'll add a height slider. I'm sorry, I know it's been brought up many, many times by so many others. Just had to throw that in there because it's worth another try.
There could be much more I'm sure and I don't expect everything to be in the pack, but these were just some ideas. Hopefully some of you enjoyed this post. :)
Have a wonderful week and thanks for reading! And if anyone can please tell me how to post this in my own thread, that'd be great.
Monte Carlo...
Casino and poker tournaments, Resorts, Grand Prix or car rallies and car shows, fashion shows, Opera, Oceanographic Museum...
or...
Renaissance Fair with
-Stages for performances such as; plays, audience participation comedy routines, dancers, magicians, musicians, jugglers, and singers.
-Streets or lanes lined with crafts and even make your own craft and food stalls where vendors sell medieval and Renaissance-themed handcrafts, clothing, books, artworks, (which could include candle making, jewelry making, glass blowing, knitting, paintings, wood working, forging, etc...) and food and beverage with option to dine with the King and Queen.
-Attend the knighting ceremony or become a knight by entering the tournament in Archery, Jousting, and Sword Fighting
-Dress up in medieval attire as Lords and Ladies, peasants, pirates, belly dancers, 🐸🐸🐸🐸's or other fantasy characters and become a costumed guest (playtrons).
-Enjoy Games and Rides to include Archery, Jousting, Sword Fighting, Jacob’s Ladder, Axe Throwing, Knife Throwing, Oriental Stars, Darts, Drench-a-Wench and Soak-a-Bloke, shoot Captain’s Cannons, Test your Strength hammer, Throw juicy tomatoes in Tomato Torture, Climb the King’s Tower Rock Wall, jump for joy at Jester’s Jump bounce house, ride in an air balloon, enter the labyrinth or explore the haunted pirate ship and seek its treasure, and I'm sure much more...
-Explore the Fairy winged forest, Pirate's Cove and the Mermaid Lagoon, Story Time at the Princess Palace, take part in the maypole carousel,
-Enjoy an Elephant or Camel ride, watch for the Falconry, or keep it simple to the basic farm animals petting area like pigs, goats, chickens, sheep, cows, horses, etc...
-Have your fortune told by either a crystal ball, card reader, or fortune teller...
-Take home a Dragon's Egg and watch it grow
I think the game is still missing some core features, but this is something that hasn't really made it into the Sims in other than bits a pieces here and there.
I love the crystal ball, card reader and fortune teller concept. Basically everything you suggested in the post that is Medieval and Renaissance I like. An ocean aquarium would be neat, but I think that it's not going to be done due to Eco Lifestyle already being made and other stuff.

How about a Greece like world instead? Where you can ride the gondola boats, eat pasta and pizza at a restaurant, and get your sims' portrait done by Sim artists, visit colusseums like the ones from Rome? I have seen a Greece like world mentioned in the Sims 4 thread by someone in the "The Sims" forum.
In fact, having an Medieval/Renaissance style as an expansion pack or game pack would be cool and having a separate game pack/expansion pack that has the anime style world I suggested would be AWESOME!
That and a world like Greece as a game pack/expansion pack would be neat! Why not have all three (anime, Greece, and Medieval/Renaissance) as separate expansion packs and game packs? Having those three as separate expansion packs or game packs will appeal to many people.

I'm on board with a Greece themed pack for Occults we could have Satyrs sims, Centaur sims and Minotaur sims, it also covers horses and farming, so we don't have to deal with a lame farming pack, we can also get sword fighting and chariot skills, farming and gladiator careers and death by Gorgon.
Forget a new pack just give us the ability to make our own worlds again. If not make a whole new world at least the ability to add and delete lots of all sizes :(!!

I'm so sorry, but I'm not really interested in any of that... I don't think it's a bad idea, but it wouldn't be that interesting to me unless it was a Greek island and we've recently already had Sulani, which is entirely different, I know. It's probably also because I'm of Greek origin and it wouldn't be something new for me, but I guess it would be a lot more interesting for someone who isn't from there, for the most part. It's okay that you don't like my idea though. I just tried to come up with something different that would add to game play too. I hope you'll have a good rest of your day.
> @ferralnightingal said: > Forget a new pack just give us the ability to make our own worlds again. If not make a whole new world at least the ability to add and delete lots of all sizes :(!!
I definitely miss being able to place whatever lot size you want!
I would also love Happy Haunts and Pirates, I know this might controversial but if we get a Pirate Pack I'm making Captain Jack Sparrow, it's unfair what happened to Depp and I hope he's the Justice he deserves, with Happy Haunts I would personally like to see what happens in the netherworld, is it paradise or eternal torment? The grim reaper career sounds awesome and can you imagine hunting Ghosts as a Ghost, I'm not pointing fingers but I'm still not happy with nifty knitting stuff.
I would love to see a “Go to School” pack. - Interact with teacher and classmates - Get good or bad relationships with your teachers which can affect grades - Choose different classes so you can develop different skills faster - Private or public schools - Parents can reward or punish for grades - New job: tutor - Opportunity to grow in each subject - Can check report card
Elderly Game Pack (got inspiration from another thread that I cannot remember but some of the ideas are my own) - option to live in elderly home - Hearing aids, walkers, canes - Children can visit elderly homes to sing - Bingo!
Dental Game Pack - brushing teeth is more important to prevent plaque and cavities - New job: dentist, orthodontist, etc. - Dentist appointments - able to open a dental office - cavities and gum diseases can make your sim uncomfortable - before braces treatment sims can become embarrassed
Ghost Hunter Freelance Career Seance Table and Spirit Board Psychic Freelancer Career Grim Reaper Freelancer Career Haunted House Lot Trait (I believe we have this).
I would add on with the Sims 3 'Supernatural Expansion and give us back our:
Wherewolve Sims Zombie Sims Fairy Sims (Dare I say, give me back my unicorns?) and more goth themes.
I also want my Cars from the Sims: Fast Lane ( miss my cars!).
Where you could own them or build them, or make them 'Greener'. Or have motorcycles or mopeds. Perhaps add on becoming a mechanic or a racecar driver as a career
While I do like the Sims: Jungle Adventure I kind of miss the options that Sims: World Adventure had, I liked having my Sims explore the pyramids, or going to France or visiting China, etc.
I like the idea of one posters suggestion of rolling in Sims Medieval into an expansion, that would be very interesting as I loved Sims Medieval and am sad they didn't go further with it.
I also like the forum post idea of farms found here (also because I want my horsies back!) : https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Feedback/Sims-4-Farm-Life-Idea/td-p/6894528

Farm Career
The farmer career is an active career that requires you to live and work on a farm. You can build your own farm and buy and sell animals and produce using the computer or farmers' market, which is on Wednesdays and Sundays in the town centre or park. The farmers' market sells all sorts of produce, from new livestock which the sim can buy and transfer to their farm, to milk and wool which anyone can buy.
Farmers must attend to their livestock everyday and ensure they are all well fed and happy. This can be done through 'checking' on individual animals or an entire herd. This will highlight any issues an animal has, so the farmer can sort it. A farmer must manage their farm efficiently and effectively to make it profitable. They can take a horse out and ride around the fields to check on livestock not on the farm lot, and take a dog for efficient herding.
A farm vet career is a sub-option of the vet career and they can be called out at any time of the day or night to help on a farm, whether it is delivering a new calf or lamb, to treating sick or elderly livestock. Farm diseases can spread quickly, so it is important to treat infected animals with speed and accuracy.
A farmer also has the option of growing crops in fields not on the farm lot. This requires a tractor or a horse for ploughing the fields. They must plough, plant and harvest fields with a variety of crops to choose from. These can then be eaten or sold at the farmers' market.
At a high level of the riding skill, farmers can teach others how to ride a horse. This creates the idea of a riding school, where sims run a farm for horses and have other sims pay them to teach them to ride. Ads can be sent out using the computer for a riding school and bookings received for unplayed sims to come to the riding school.
Sometimes, a school trip may come to the farm, and a farmer must teach the children about the animals and how the farm works.
Livestock
Farmers have a range of livestock available to them. These livestock are not playable and do not appear as part of the household, so an unlimited number can be owned. Sims can name each one of their livestock if they so wish, and tag them with a personalised ear tag in case a thief attempts to steal them. Livestock comes in different colours depending on the animals, so they are all individual. The livestock would be genetically similar to the parents, so farmers can strategically breed desirable characteristics and create new breeds. It must be remembered that livestock don't live forever, and can die from old age, disease or for the meat. In these circumstances, they are removed from the care of a sim in the same way a sim death would appear. Livestock includes:
Chickens - farmers can collect eggs from the coops. They can also keep a rooster for breeding. Sims need to be careful not to collect eggs that contain chicks!
Sheep - farmers can move sheep around so that they can be on the farm lot, or in a separate field. They can be sheered and bred; a farmer may want to keep one or two rams, but they can be a bit of a handful. Sheep can only be moved from fields to farm lots and vice versa whilst contained in a herding pen.
Cows - cows can be milked in the milking sheds and can be moved from the farm lot to separate fields. Bulls can be kept for breeding. Cows can only be moved from fields to the farm lot and vice versa when contained in a herding pen.
Pigs - pigs can be kept in pigsties on the farm lot and can be bred to be sold.
Horses - draught horses such as shires and Suffolk punches, can be kept to pull ploughs and do other heavy farm work, although some farmers may choose tractors over horses. Horses can be bred and can also be ridden around farms. Other breeds of horse can also be kept in the stables and used for farm work, though heavy horses are the most efficient. There should be different sizes of horse, so the biggest such as shires are used for farm work, medium horses such as warmbloods and thoroughbreds can be used for riding, and small ponies such as Shetlands can be used for children who are learning to ride. Horses can also be put into separate fields when not being used.
Dogs - dogs can be trained to herd sheep and cows, though this may take a few tries. Sims and dogs can learn the herding skill where the sim teaches the dog whistle commands to herd livestock into pens for checking and moving around. Farmers now have the option to remove a dog from a playable household and let it become a full-time working farm dog. They live in kennels on the farm and can be trained to herd livestock.
Cats - farm cats can be owned to lower the rodent population on the farm lot. Sims now have the option for cats to be removed from playable households and become full-time farm cats. They choose their own place to live, whether it be in a barn, stable or pigsty, and will learn the hunting skill. Kittens may unexpectedly appear after a cat has returned from a wonder from the farm. Stray cats may also take up residence on the farm. Sims have the option to chase away farm cats to remove them from the farm. They then become strays again.
Llamas - as with the tradition of Sims, llamas should finally become part of the active game and be bred for their wool. Though sims should be careful with these or they could be spat on which causes a drastic change of mood.
Occasionally, youngstock that a farmer has bred get abandoned by their mothers, meaning the sim must take them into their house to care for them individually, bottle feeding and keeping them warm. It is rare, but in this event, a lamb or calf may take a particular liking to a sim and has the option to become part of the household as a pet.
Build/Buy
Farm lots are bigger lots and off site fields are available to the farmer where they keep livestock. Each farm site and fields must be purchased, much like the restaurants and shops. Farmers can buy as many fields as they would like to expand their farm, but must remember that they must attend all of them.
Farm lots can have pigsties, chicken coops, barns, cow sheds, milking sheds and stables built on them. Kennels are also available for farm dogs.
A riding arena is another thing that can be built for a particularly horse mad family, possibly paving the way to a riding school rather than a farm.
Farmers can buy tractors to help in the fields. These are expensive, but are more efficient than horses. Alternatively, they can buy a manual plough for a draught horse which is cheap, but less efficient.
Farmers can buy a milking stool for manual milking, or an automatic milker.
Skills
Farmers can learn new skills on the farm:
Riding skill - farmers can ride horses and must learn how to ride well. At a high level, they can teach others to ride, and can ride a horse whilst leading another one. This is particularly useful when teaching a child to ride. Sims can keep small ponies for toddlers and children. Toddlers can only be sat on them, but children can begin to learn to ride, which helps build the motor skill. Sims can learn to jump, do dressage and perform tricks with their horse. A riding arena can be built for sims who want to ride properly, rather than just around the farm.
Herding skill - farmers can learn to herd livestock with the aid of a dog so that they can transfer livestock from the farm lot to separate fields and vice versa. They will learn certain whistles and cues that the dog follows to herd them into a pen.
Crop skill (like the gardening skill) - farmers can learn how to effectively plant and grow crops. They will learn to plough well.
Sheering/Milking skills - sheering sheep is not easy, so a farmer must learn how to sheer a sheep properly. The start of this skill may result in some hilarious sheep and llama hair cuts. The milking skill for cows will also aid when manually milking, if an automatic milker can not be afforded.
Sims Medieval was such a good game, so simple, so enjoyable.
A combination of historic times, pirates and a little pythonesque humor would be great.
I missed Medieval it was such a great game, it pretty much covers what people want in Sims 4, Occult Sims, Pirates, Sword Fighting and Smarter Sims.
This! I really hope that we get a Medieval pack soon. I think it has been hinted at in SE a few times. Hopefully it’s the next GP or EP!
I’d love a pirate GP where we could build our own pirate ships and live on them like houseboats. An expansion of the ocean would be really cool and they could introduce deep sea diving for real this time, not just a rabbit hole!
Comments
I would totally play that. I have about ten to twelve pirates in my game just waiting to cause trouble.
they could incorporate some sims medieval mechanics and gameplay , as the game had robbery, sword fights, alcoholic beverages, parrots, treasure hunting and a couple other things.
You're all welcome to share your ideas too, or if you agree or disagree with anything. I came up with some ideas of the next expansion pack. I gave it a great deal of thought and since we haven't had a desert kind of world since Oasis Springs, I thought maybe the next world could be based on a country from Africa or Australia. I also came up with some of the following things it could include:
- Dust storms and droughts
- The risk of Sims getting dehydrated, mosquito bites, or them getting sick from the bites.
- Wild animals that Sims can see
- Safari rides with instructors (that may be asking for too much)
- Traits like brave or intimidated and wildlife enthusiast
- A nervous or scared mood
- Jobs to help protect wildlife animals, to help the economy, and to help Sims affected by the droughts, or there could also be a mission tied to it where a Sim can help save the day.
- If it includes a section that also has a beach, there could be the option to surf or go water skiing!
- Boats or yachts you can ride in with other Sims
- Being able to sit on a beach towel and eat
- Hotels or resorts
- An option to be able to swim in lakes if there are any
- More festivals like the ones in Snowy Escape that tie to one of these worlds
- More sentiments
- A way a Sim could recall certain special memories with someone, or something like a memory journal
- And this has nothing to do with the worlds, but I really do hope that maybe they'll add a height slider. I'm sorry, I know it's been brought up many, many times by so many others. Just had to throw that in there because it's worth another try.
There could be much more I'm sure and I don't expect everything to be in the pack, but these were just some ideas. Hopefully some of you enjoyed this post. :)

Crop skill (like the gardening skill) - farmers can learn how to effectively plant and grow crops. They will learn to plough well.
Sheering/Milking skills - sheering sheep is not easy, so a farmer must learn how to sheer a sheep properly. The start of this skill may result in some hilarious sheep and llama hair cuts. The milking skill for cows will also aid when manually milking, if an automatic milker can not be afforded.
A combination of historic times, pirates and a little pythonesque humor would be great.
I missed Medieval it was such a great game, it pretty much covers what people want in Sims 4, Occult Sims, Pirates, Sword Fighting and Smarter Sims.
This! I really hope that we get a Medieval pack soon. I think it has been hinted at in SE a few times. Hopefully it’s the next GP or EP!
I’d love a pirate GP where we could build our own pirate ships and live on them like houseboats. An expansion of the ocean would be really cool and they could introduce deep sea diving for real this time, not just a rabbit hole!
