    Violin, guitar and piano? Unless I'm missing something else those are the only 3 that I see? I wish they would put in more!

      There's no way we're not going to get more with a GP/EP :)

      Maybe a good idea for a kit. If I remember correctly the sims 3 store had a violin. it is possible for them to add individual instruments that way. More instruments would be nice, and an upright version of the piano as well.

      A bass, a drum kit (pardon the pun), a woodwind instrument would be nice and maybe even a kettle drum? It's hard for a family to jam together with the lack of instruments. But, at least the Child Sims can learn to play the violin and piano. Sad about the guitar, though.

      That's what I was getting at! I was having my family play all the instruments, but if I have four sims well then there's going to be one more extra of the same instrument or that sim could just be watching I guess...lol

      My sims started a Willow Creek Orchestra. They donated 6 blue violins to the Blue Velvet nightclub. One sim plays the piano and everyone else plays the violin at the same time. The new members generally don't have much violin skill. It sounds................ incredible

      (no seriously, whenever I need a good laugh I just start a Willow Creek Orchestra club gathering :D:# )

      I used to love the jams in TS3, I wish we could to that with TS4. I play the bass in RL and would love to see that and drums. I'm not sure why they weren't included in the base (bass? ha) game as bass and drums were n previous iterations.

      Oh yes this. ^^^ I used to sit back and listen to my Sims 3 families play together...it was fantastic. Wish we could do that with Sims 4. I'm not sure but if they could have coordinated them they would have by now. :/

      I want drums, cellos, and saxophones so badly! And lol, I related with the comment about your orchestra “playing together,” @mightysprite! I often have Sims “playing together” like that. And I had a holiday where an entire family of Sims was practicing singing “together.” The sound was glorious, lol!

      The Orchestra Club is an awesone idea! I have just added it to my personal challenges list, as a rotational challenge:

      Willow Creek Orchestra Club
      - have 6 WC kids and 1 adult major the creativity skill by playing violin (violin skill for the Adult);
      - create a club with these kids and the YA called WC Orchestra Club
      - have a club gathering per day at the club housequarters
      - at sundays have a club gathering at the local park.
      - The challenge ends when the first kid ages up.
      - The club housequarters must then change to the local park and you can continue your usual rotation.

      It will be cool to watch them play at the park as a background for my rotation :)

      I always wished they had made the organ look like an actual organ, with multiple manuals and a pedalboard. Even if it was visual only and had no additional animations, it would have looked better than what is essentially just a reskin of the piano

      But yes to more instruments

      I'd love more instruments in the game, especially if there could be some inclusion of performing like busking, bands, chamber music (even an orchestra!). I've made a few polls here about new ideas and unfortunately a music pack polls behind things like farms, romance, medieval, carnival/theme park.

      TS1 had music recording in Superstar, TS2 had small bands in University, TS3 had an active singing career in Showtime and TS4 has ...karaoke.

      Chamber music groups and orchestras would be fabulous!

      Yeah, not many instruments. I really need bongos while living in Sulani. I also need an electric guitar and a giant amp so I can really annoy those annoying neighbors living in San Myshuno. o:)

      I wouldn't be shocked if they added instruments in kits tbh. I'd prefer a music themed game pack that also adds bands though.

      Personally I want Drums, flute, and the xylophone to be added. I'd also love to see rythmicon from sims 3 return.

      Bands was one of the themes on the survey we got last year, so maybe we will get a music pack with instruments and bands?
      (I hope so! :) ) I did start a thread on this if someone is interested in sharing their requests / ideas: MUSIC / BANDS PACK -all your ideas
      I think the only possibility to have some requested items in a pack is to ask for it before they start to creating the pack (because I think we all know by now that they don't add in / fix things later on... :# )
