    I really hope we get a new venue type; along with at least two different kinds of bowling lanes (traditional and modern). As for the second premiums item, probably either a photo booth, claw arcade machine, or a snack bar (similar to movie theaters with snacks displayed behind glass).

    First gameplay item : Obviously the bowling alley, second gameplay item : Vending machine that can squish you moehaha >:)

    All the ideas sound wonderful, even if only half of those make it in the pack I would be happy.
    For me it would be rather disappointing and a uninteresting if they only gave us the bowling alley and thats it. At least a new venu type is needed !

    If we get a venue type, I hope it's Arcade. That would cover so much more than just Bowling Alley.

    1) New venue
    2) Bumpers being an option on the lanes
    3) Making kids/toddlers able to bowl too (kid/toddler bowling ball sizes)
    4) Emotional responses to strikes, spares, gutter balls
    5) The possibility of dropping a bowling ball on your foot (for teens and above) and a negative moodlet -- something that says, "(From Bowling) Maybe if ____ had been a little more careful, they wouldn't have a hurt foot. Uncomfortable -3" with, like, an evident hurt foot pic.

    True then sims would bowl and play videogames automously.

    I hope we get cosmic bowling with the unique lighting.

    Cosmic bowling would be a great option. I was trying to think of what I could do myself if we didn't get cosmic bowling. Multi-colored lights on the walls, those strips of color lights along with the disco lights flashing different colors and shapes. Maybe turning all the ceiling lights off and playing in just the colorful wall and disco lights for the dark, glowing feel.

    well looking at past stuff packs I guess there's a chance for some gameplay objects other than a bowling alley, they seem like they keep adding more with every stuff pack, the kids stuff pack was packed with new gameplay for a stuff pack, even the backyard stuff pack had a decent amount of gameplay, I feel like Vintage Glamour was kind of a gameplay packed stuff pack, especially with the butlers but also the smaller things like the new juice cabinet and the vanity mirror that added new interaction for both adult and kid sims. There probably will be a new venue type, maybe more broad than bowling ally, possibly an arcade, and maybe they'll even add in some new arcade machines as already stated earlier in this thread, like one or two new machines/games like the claw game or maybe even air hockey or something.

    I would love an Arcade Pack one day with pinball machines, the claw, whack-a-gnome, pool tables, ping pong, the love meter, etc. They seem to be good at giving us something new or reworked in a fun way, so I think an Arcade pack could be great.

    I think I'll want the car to be in this pack. You know, because I would like to drive a car to those bowling pins.
  • CunninghamCunningham Posts: 1,310 Member
    I think we all would like a new venue, it's what we want to add more gameplay. I can't remember the last time we had a new venue type.
    I've read through some ideas and updated the list which is posted on the first page. You can still post your ideas if you have any!

    Pinball machines
    A Photobooth
    More facial hair: the friendly muttonchop, the pornstache, the handlebar, and circa 1974 sideburns
    Team bowling shirts with club symbols on them, so the Crypt O'Night Owls can front a vampire bowling team
    If it was a bigger pack I'd hope for Mini-Golf, but that's a Stuff pack all on its own.
    Basically I want to see a blue collar, family themed night out opportunity.

    FAQ: Bowling Stuff Icon sent by @MrMonty96.

    Hello Guys, with the upcoming stuff pack coming February I thought we should get some ideas for the pack itself.
    Here are a few main ideas for the pack of what should come;
    New Items to be added!
    1: Arcade machines built into the bowling alleys.
    2: New Venue!, which being "Bowling Alley".
    3: Photo Booth - @TheCommunity
    4: Claw Machine - @TheCommunity
    5: Pool/Snooker Table - @Jaline33
    6: Ping Pong Table - @Jaline33
    7: ShuffleBoard - @Jaline33
    8: Vending Machines - @CatLoverPlayer
    9: Arcade Machines - @TheCommunity
    10: Air Hockey Table - @Jerrello
    11: Snack bar - @Jase
    Add-ons to previous items/features!
    1: Bowling Team requests and championships - @MiwaPRO
    These are just a few ideas, I have more just thought i'd let you say your ideas. When or if you do your name will be posted at the side of it given your suggestion or ideas that should be in the pack.

    Lots of cool ideas that I'd love to see in TS4 eventually!

    But you do realize this is a Stuff Pack (not an EP) and that this pack is most likely already completed?
    You see traditional Stuff Packs pretty much only offer static items.
    CAS items, decorations buy/build items that kind of thing.

    The items you have listed here all have animations associated with them.
    Not your typical SP fare.

    I'm not trying to ruin dreams here...Just trying to help manage expectations. B)

    I feel like I'm one of the only ones not excited for Bowling Stuff. I'm really hoping that there will be something in it that really makes me change my mind. I'm just too picky :s

    I guess everything that comes out isn't for everyone. Take vampires for instance I wasn't really bothered about that pack, i'm more excited for the blowing stuff pack.

    Can we please get actual bathroom stalls

    I would like this idea to come with this since it is a mainly public place, I would also love urinals to come back into play.

    I'm really hoping for some retro 80's themed decor for the bowling SP - neon signage, neon bowling ball with pins that blink, maybe even some new posters with bowlers and bowling champions.

    It would be awesome if they added a rental station that worked like a bar but instead an NPC rented out bowling shoes and bowling balls for sims to use. As for another interactive gameplay object I honestly hope we get 2 with one of the objects coming with 3 different types- new arcade game (pinball machine, shooting hoops machine, claw machine). And than, of course, a pool table- a bowling alley just isn't complete without its billiards.

    I do hope they add some comical animations into the pack like "granny bowl" or sim forgetting to let go of the ball sending them down the lane.

    I hope vending machines or pool tables will be the second gameplay object.
    I'd love to see a singing career in game, EA! You can't let the singing skill go to waste! My TS4 EPs: GTW, GT, CL, C&D, S, GF, IL, DU, EL, SE, CoL, HSY, GrT, HR, FR GPs: OR, SD, DO, V, P, JA, SV, RoM, DHD, MWS

    I agree, something we don't need is talking anything.

    Not as excited about the bowling pack as I have been the others. Maybe because I don't like bowling. :)

    I see your point. I don't like laundry, so I don't want a laundry in the game.
