I wish they would give us(I mean release in some pack) portable stands(different models to fit style of stuff being sold*) so our sims could sell crafts(paintings, pottery, clothing, carpets, curtains, scarfs, jewel, food etc). *A board to hang paintings/photos, stand to place food, vegetables, etc w/food related color/illustration options, stand to hang clothes, jewels, a carpet to place crafted furniture(after all our sim doesn't own the lot, can't place furniture everywhere), etc Just carry your stand to a park, place there(like the cake stand for kids in TS3 Ambitions I think) and sell it in a park or a new lot "hippie fair" that would spawn npcs selling in stands.
There is already retail in GTW, but what if your sim can't afford buying and maintaining a retail lot? It also adds new gameplay to simmers that love to play a "rags to riches" challenge. (Your sim just own a empty lot, living in the streets, selling crafts, etc 'until someday he manages to own a big house and his own store, etc.) I agree that they need to give us a self-employed "career", just an option to register as self-employed and when asked about it, it would say "Simmilian discovered Simminson is self-employed", I don't think a distinction about what the self-employed sim does or those rewards, milestones, cash bonuses (like it used to be in TS3 ambitions) really matter or are needed. At the most a new aspiration with milestones about selling items, money earned, leveling up at least one craft skill(all of them count to it), etc Reward trait: indie As a plus a fortune teller(npc) in a table w/cards and crystal ball and a decor gypsy wagon, the table being also portable and usable by our own sims(to give readings and earn simoleons). I think this would fit much better the bohemian style but would be too much for a Stuff Pack because of new skills, a gamepack maybe? PS:Btw whatever happened to children muffins, cookies, etc in TS4? No kids' oven yet. |
Love all of these! So basically a remake of Freetime/OFB/Ambitions but with a theme of flea market/farmers' market
Maybe The Sims 4: Bumbly Bazaar GP (10 internet points for you if you get this reference )
New lot assignment: Bazaar
NPC: Fortune teller (like the OR bears, but less annoying)
Main gameplay: self-employment, and if you have GT: market vendors
And btw the boho LSD color explosion palette will go great with this, not Movie Hangout.

Yeah craft ables are good but I don't see them being added in stuff packs at least not as in depth as we'd like. Also some of those craft ables would need their own skill. Stuff I want to see them add are sport activites. I would like to see the basketball hoop and rockclimbing wall make returns but this time the basketball hoop should have the option to not only be a half-court but a full-court as well and allow us to play more then just 1 on 1 maybe 3 on 3. |
I have nothing against craftables, some of them would be great in the future (something to do with those flowers !) but I don't see how they would fit in a SP either : any craftable item would be one less item in Build/Buy mode most likely, and people like to count the numbers of CAS/Build/Buy to gauge the value of the pack, so I'm not sure how that would work.
At the moment, they are other things I want more than craftables, I too would like to see more sports activites (so I can finally use children athletic wear), and new outdoor activites in general, especially ones that don't require an object (like children games/cops & robbers) but I don't see how that would fit in a SP (new gameplay object without object). More things for the bedroom would be great too (so many possibilities for gameplay objects : new toys for kids, bunk beds, etc).

Just lock it behind a cheat wall like all of the other furniture that requires crafting, like the woodworking stuff. At the very least, an exclusive recolor can be made and the rest is in build/buy. Idk... Also, I'm in favor of better beds. |
I see where you're going because they did that with the carvings from the pumpkin carving table and they probably could do that with more craftable but I only see a few really fitting a SP. Like flower arraging, he base game already has flowers you can actually grow so why not expand upon that and give us flower arranging. Now a craftable I don't see working in a SP is sculpting. If they decide to make it as in depth or more so than it was in ts3 I expect it to be part of a GP or a EP.
And yes bunk beds and loft beds maybe even double loft beds, I mean I had one.

Actually, if they had thought about it soon enough, pretty much every object could have been a craftable. All EA would have had to do was add a couple of data fields to the object's xml for required materials. We don't even need intermediate states, one generic rough block could have been shared by all objects for intermediate stages of manufacture. Craftable to go straight into inventory or household inventory upon completion for player to place as required. |
yeah but your forgetting something....EA aren't that smart

Birds chirping, plants budding… it’s the season of love, and your Sims can experience it for themselves with The Sims 4 Romantic Garden Stuff Pack*! The stuff pack releases on February 9 and includes new objects and clothing to create the Victorian garden of your dreams. The Sims 4 Romantic Garden Stuff Pack has a mixture of flowery flora and marble furnishings that enable you to build new styles of parks, or to revitalize your home’s yard. Do you prefer a manicured lawn with trimmed rose bushes and flowers entwined around a wooden trellis? Perhaps instead you want to create your own Victorian inspired botanical gardens, replete with spitting lion fountains and stately Doric columns? All of these items and more empower you to create lush landscapes for romantic moments like dates, proposals, and weddings – or simply to enjoy a lovely afternoon outdoors. Your Sims can make use of a new Fountain of Gluteus Maximus which serves as far more than a pretty backdrop. Sims can sit along the fountain’s edge and cuddle, even flicking water on each other in a lighthearted show of affection. When feeling especially whimsical they can climb inside to play around, or take it a step further and engage in a spirited bout of splashing with a friend. If feeling particularly mischievous, Sims can go as far as adding soap to the fountain and enjoy watching the water churn into a froth of bubbles. What’s more, the stuff pack also includes the Whispering Wishing Well, and woe to the Sim who underestimates the power it wields. A single Simoleon is all it takes to cast a wish, be it for happiness, wealth, a child, youth, love, and more… but the Wishing Well is known to be quite temperamental, and one should carefully gauge not only what they wish for, but when they wish for it. Over fifty different outcomes ensure that your Sim’s life may be altered forever… though it may end in rejoicing, or in personal tragedy. You’ll discover all of these objects when visiting The Lost Gardens of Healing, a brand new Park Venue included in the stuff pack that creates a picturesque backdrop to any romantic story. Your Sims will want to look their best when visiting, and modern floral fashion and hairstyles will help you give them a proper spring makeover. As they stroll the park’s grounds they’ll be serenaded by the new Baroque radio station, which includes a lovely melody of music inspired by the 1600s to set the mood. The Sims 4 Romantic Garden Stuff Pack releases on February 9th – come take a stroll through its gardens and see if it’s everything you wished for!

The only things I'm not liking so much are the flowers. Oh god, the flowers.

As much as I like this, I'm dreading everyone spamming plants on their lots until they resemble a hippie florist explosion. Ugh.

Speculation/Theory/Releases have it that the pattern is GP SP SP EP SP SP GP SP SP EP. And announcements are made 2 weeks following the previous announcement so we could hear about GP03 the week after next.
This SP might be hinting towards a romance/couple oriented GP (I guess think hot date), because with Spa Day, PP was released and goes hand in hand (hot tubs = relaxation = spas; even the build style was the same modern styling) with that. However, someone also pointed out that before OR came out, freeplay had a camping update, and freeplay just announced a romantic getaway update... Just throwing out some speculation.

On that same note, they may be heading for a big element around gardening/produce/flowers and this is the pre-cursor. Remember not long ago they accidently made some of the flowers/veggies black and had to fix. November patch they did a little hush-hush rework on weeds. And the XMLs I've seen regarding plants, growth and produce have had quite a bit of reworking and code changing done to them. Nothing you'd notice in game - currently. So why? Can't all be for nought. (Even some of the pictures for Windenburg had flower stalls Hmmm?) It's as if they're gearing up for something big with all these gardening elements.

Could definitely go either way... I could see a farming GP, but not sure I'd imagine it being so early, let alone being released as GP rather than an EP incorporated with Pets/releasing before Pets because then something worse than the gates of hell opening would occur (because those gates have been opened and closed on that forum on the daily nowadays).
Then again, maybe, we can point an eye back to a freetime GP, would be timely with GT clubs, then Movie Hangout Stuff, not so much the Romantic Gardens thing, but they could incorporate couple's bonding? And then expand on gardening, give us green houses, sprinklers, more plants and bushes, glass blowing, crafting table revamp, knitting, new playground equipment (in particular swings for the kiddos), etc... The question though, would we get a new world? Considering I wouldn't think a destination could work with a freetime theme...
And to go off on another tangent, this SP does come with a new venue, a Victorian inspired park, which I mean can go into any of the current worlds (not that there's really space aside from Newcrest), but maybe there is a new world coming and it will have some Victorian inspiration? I honestly don't know what this next GP is, but it's been cooking for a looooong time. Hopefully it's worth it.

I do like the idea better than Luxury Party stuff, but it's very much driving home the point that these stuff packs are more like TS3 store sets than the good ol stuff packs from TS2. Which is fine I guess, seriously it's only $10, and there's clothes and hair too.
Not sure where I was going with this. I really really loved TS2. Just, sometimes change makes me melancholic.

They had a theme and stuck to that theme. To compare and contrast, Kitchen & Bath Stuff had complete content for 2 rooms, of two themes, whiles proving clothing that's actually appropriate for the pack - pajamas, lingerie, robes, aprons, and very light casual/leisure wear. There wasn't a lot of deco objects either - there's light clutter & deco, but most of it was content sims can physically use.
Cool Kitchen provided one kitchen, a (very cute) gameplay object, and was mostly composed of clothing, of which had nothing to do with Kitchens. Not only that, but a lot of the Build/Buy content was also deco. I could actually write a thesis about why cool kitchen genuinely fails from a thematic and design standpoint, but I digress.
