    I would also like to see some screen doors and window, some old and torn, broken off the hinges, board up.

    Bunk Sofas!
    But in all seriousness I really like the ideas on this thread. I would like to see basement hatchets.

    @MrMonty96 But I WANT to have bunk sofas in the game too! :joy: (seriously, I do)

    Mini fridge, spiral staircases (and/or ladders) and "used" furniture that looks very dirty but is really cheap, those are the things I'd love to have most (besides bunk sofas). The rest is important too of course, but mini fridges are more awesome than the rest

    Portable DVD player as a tv option

    Murphy beds (with death by Murphy bed included)

    Bunk beds

    Loft beds

    Trundle beds (like those beds with another mattress under them that you can slide out)

    Basement hatch (I've really been wanting to build a secret lair in one of my houses but regular stairs are too bulky to truly make it a secret lair)

    Ladders and spiral staircases

    Folding chairs

    Recliners

    Foldaway tables

    Hot plate

    Toaster oven

    Anything you might find in a college dormitory or RV (which reminds me, RVs would be a great addition to The Sims)

    Also some really bad looking used furniture to truly give it that "first home but not much money" look

    I <3 this idea. I really think it would go well with CL (apartments).

    I really adore most of your ideas! <3
    The items I had in mind while choosing this option as #1:
    ladder/spiral stairs
    Laptop/Talet to store in inventory/use whereever you want and at the floor as well
    smaller dresser/tables
    murphys bed with another use
    3in1bathroom

    I want this stuff pack so bad! :'(

    I'm intrigued by these three of your ideas. Would be really interested to see them in the game. Especially the trundle bed. I really really really want bunk beds but if it's problematic with multitasking or too animation heavy what with ladder climbing , trundle beds are an intriguing alternative, yes they take up 2 tiles when slide out (un-trundled?) but would only take one tile most of the time and could be a simple swipe animation to interact with.
    Toaster ovens could be cool For realism plus it could take a smaller footprint on the counter leaving other item slots free vs a microwave.

    ....Basement hatch - not sure how this would be implemented - would it be a seperate "door" or object that would work with existing stairs? Would it be a special room/wall type so the basement wouldn't have the outdoor lighting glitch? I would love to have basement hatches especially since foundations apply to all rooms on a lot so this would help make builds look more interesting - but they have said in the past that they don't usually have a build mode engineer on the stuff pack time because of cross compatibility - completely new build mode features usually come via patch and are normally outside stuff pack scope. I really like the idea but I'm not sure it's a stuff pack idea.

    In a perfect world, I would love to have everything (funerals, arcades, laundry, ect.) in a huge stuff pack that is titled the Forgotten stuff pack. But whatever the majority votes, I will buy regardless because I love the sims. :)

    Cute to have a crib/ toddler bed that was also a chest of drawers. Like the kids sleeps in a bed made of the top drawer and clothes below that. A table shelf that attaches to the wall and can fold up. Extension table for when there are parties/dinner parties; sleeping bags!

    New interaction: Build furniture interaction where your sims can assemble their own IKEA. The could order online and if they have a higher level of handiness is comes out looking like the picture. If not, the furniture could be wonky. Two sims should be able to work on the item at the same time and it can either improve or decrease their relationship depending on their emotions at the time (eg. If they are tense they end up yelling at each other). Very realistic for a young couple's first day in a new apartment!

    I absolutely LOVE this idea. And it fits right into the sims! I don't know if they would ever create complex objects like that though. And by that I mean objects with a "imperfect and perfect" state. For example if sims unsuccessfully put together a sofa from Simkea, it would look all wrong and it would hilariously break down over time. And even the successfully put together sofa would get an "average" moodlet :lol:

    It would be amazing. It's beautiful, practical and different.

    I'd like a triangular bookcase that fits perfectly underneath a normal-wall-height staircase, to give the illusion of a staircase with inlaid shelves. There should be a few slots in this bookcase for us to put some decorative objects, as well as maybe a larger slot that fits the very small TV (or a radio), to save space and have more than one function. Staircases are a few slots wide (I think 3?) and since the bookcase fits perfectly, it is also 3 tiles wide. Would be fun to have the bookcase in A LOT of swatches (including a glass swatch pleeease), so we can match it with most of the staircases and styles we want :) The bookcase can also obviously be placed free-standing, in which case it would look seriously cool in a modern house.

    YES. I've wanted something like this since forever.

    How about stackable beds, that way you can put a bed over a desk or but two beds on top of each other and they become one, instead of having just a bunk bed object with two beds you can do the same thing, plus with more options., like putting a community desk under a bed.

    LOL, nothing wrong with recycling ideas to other things, well isn't that part of eco living, maybe put a recycling program for the community, or program to lower electricity.

    Edit they could use the same fuse box from city living and if placed on a regular lot it would act like a power saving addiction, with upgrades of echo friendly ways to save money, I don't know the upgrades yet, but you can upgrade the fuse box with something like turn off lights after 20 minutes or use low wattage light bulbs. Also if you have too many lights on you may trip a breaker and have to flip it. Also the hot and cold water thing too can be used in regular lots to give the illusion of poor water system in the house.

    Also If you put a fuse box in a community lot, you would be able to control the lights for fire works so you could see them better.

    Great idea!

    Loft bed, spiral staircases, so many things that I would really like to have.

    furniture that fits into corners, telly, book case.
    also foldaway dining tables and chairs, or by magic when you pull out the table, chairs are attached to it, and you can choose the pattern of table and chairs.
    another Yes for bunk beds and loft beds, Love the ideas of @Sid1701D9 stackable beds either over a desk or another bed. my input over another two beds so we can have three beds high, those very tall walls can take it.
