I'm not sure how I would get this idea in front of the developers, but I have a suggestion for a new game pack. I'd love to see a Sims 4 "Band" or "Rock Out" game pack where you can form different types of music groups with your sims. You can have a Rock Band, Jazz Band, Pop Band, maybe even a Boy Band or Girl Band, or even a choir that sings "carols" during the winter holiday.
They can add different and new instruments, such as: drums, "air drums" which are just sticks that turn the air into a drum set, trumpets and Saxophones, harps, new guitars, electric guitars, keyboards, etc.
Of course it would need new hairstyles and clothes to match each genre of music a band might want to play.
If your Sims aren't musically inclined, maybe they can choose to be groupies, or ultimate fans. It would also be neat if you could somehow make posters of your band.
Those are just some thoughts. I think this would be an extremely fun pack to add to the collection.

There's several things that need to be addressed first though.....
1. STOP sims from having to stand in front of the performer on stage. Make them stay off the stage or sit in the seats provided.
2. Allow for this to be done from different levels.
3. Give us a platform tool in build mode.
There are others to be sure.
Yes. maybe the more fame you gain, the more simoleans you earn per gig.
It would be neat if you could assign the different positions your Sims fill, like on Dine Out. Then you can work on honing different skills for different members.
In addition to sims making bands, there could be stages and concerts, the barrier on entry system could come back from TS2 and sims should be able to buy tickets for concerts online with the possibility for them to sold out.
YES YES YES! I have wanted this for so long, and now that GF is out, I want it even more. I would love to see all of this. It would pair up with GF so well, but saying that, there will be a few groans saying this content should have been put into GF in the first place...which it really should. There is one thing that is missing from GF, and that is the ability to go to music gigs or tours and make money...I don't care if its a rabbithole! Rock stars don't stay at home all day or playing in the park for 80 simoleons or so. They have sellout gigs and world tours!
Without the appropriate content I'm struggling to make my Sim a Rock Star. I'm a metalhead - its my biggest dream to see my Sim shred like a boss. I'm getting bored of the acoustic guitar stuff. Violins are not my thing, and I might go with the piano now and again.
In all seriousness, I love this idea. Its right up my street.
not so berry family tree
Will there even be any purpose other than just jamming out? 😂
You think they gonna do that again after people got mad about it? 😂😂😂🤣
My First Band would be different in that it could stand on its own as a pack, even if you don't have the two systems that came with GF. You could still create bands (as we did in S3) and go to gigs. There just wouldn't be rep/fame unless you own GF also. My First Pet was a partial stand alone pack in that you didn't need C&D to own a rodent in a cage. Their mistake (huge mistake IMO) was having stuff for C&D in it when not every player owns C&D. Those objects became useless and a waste of those player's money.
