Title: if you could create your own expansion kit
Post by: heartless on October 26, 2008, 03:13:13 am
what would you want it to be like?
me, i would want The Sims 2: Apocalypse where you could make special neighborhoods where sims society started from scratch and the way you shaped their society as it molded would control their behaviors and stuff as a whole later on. for example, if you coddled sims that had an art/creating aspiration (there would have to be special aspirations in these neighborhoods, like agriculture, healing, philosophy/religion, etc.) the society might become more artistic. and you could only build buildings that were fancier when your sims had fancier constructing skills/knowledge skills. and they could have religion, or, rather, simligions.
of course, i would still want my old normal game-play neighborhoods too.
 
how about you? what would you want?

The Sims 2: Beer, Boobs, and Billiards!

The life of a lower class Sim isn't easy, so cash those miniscule paychecks and send your Sims to the seedier side of Downtown! Have your Sims drink away their blues at the local tavern, earn a little extra income hustling at the pool hall, or catch the latest "show" at the gentleman's club!

Coming Spring of 2009!

Yes, this is completely ficticious. Duh.

^^  :rofl:  I would SO buy that just for kicks.  :laugh:

My two ideas:

The Sims 2:  Fine Arts (or something that has a better ring to it)

Have your sims ever had the dream to start their own theater company?  How about a marching band or orchestra?  Even living it out as a ritzy or starving artist?  With the inclusion of several new career options, a variety of objects, and even a collage of interactions and wardrobe, your sims will surely be able to paint the streets with color and music!

The Sims 2:  The Neglected Bundle of Joy (Items and Interactions)

Babies: "In Sims 2, EA has failed us!"  

Tired of having near-naked babies, or even having to enter/exit the game in order to change in/out modded default outfits for your little nursling?  Sick of bald, hairless infants, when clearly the game was originally advertised with little ones having hair?  Want to sit down while holding your little bundles of joy, and to have them do more than just lay around and scream all the time?  This is definitely for you!  Not only are there more interactions and animations for your babies and tots with their family, changeable clothing options and hair will also be available for your tiniest family members.  More child objects, more to keep those tiny hands busy... and more time for mommy and daddy to kick back and relax.

That's pretty much it for now.  :lol:

Hm...

The Sims 2: Carnival

Have you ever wanted to run your own carnival? Maybe your Sims have had dreams of riding a roller coaster? Well, now they can! Features include:
  • The ability to build your own carnival! Add roller coasters, carousels, and more!
  • Three secret carnival lots for your enjoyment! View the world's animals at SimTop Circus, ride the rides at Sim Flags, or go for a walk down the midway at the County Fair!
  • Learn how to cook new foods, such as pop-corn, cotton candy, and more!
  • Play games! Your Sims can now Whack-A-Sim, play Ski-Ball, and other fun carnival games! Earn tickets to win prizes!



Though not for Sims 2, I would LOVE to have this (http://www.osvigaristas.com.br/imagens/informatica/4111.jpg).

I might make some later...

Sims 2: Back in Time

I would love to have an EP where you could have CC from the past. Midevil, western, etc... Something where your sim would need to work a little harder to achieve goals and you could create a hood with that in mind. Ball gowns, cowboy attire, and horses instead of cars. Now THAT would be awesome.

Sims 2: Urban Living

I would also love to have an EP with run down/urban CC. Broken windows, chipped walls and torn wallpaper. Old mattresses, grungy appliances, etc... Things that made your sim not as happy in general, but when you were able to buy something nice it REALLY raised your mood. Start from the real bottom and work your way up.

The Sims 2: Disaster Life

Scene 1: A peaceful evening watching TV with your family, warmed by the fire, with a storm raging outside, when there's a flash of lightning, and the power goes out!

Scene 2: Suburban Pleasantview. The sky has a pale green color to it. A piercing whine screams through the air. A tornado has been spotted in the area!

Scene 3: Kids playing in the sand. Adults napping on the beach. A beautiful day at the beach. Suddenly, someone screams! A huge wave has been spotted in the distance!

In The Sims 2: Disaster Life, you are faced with a variety of natural disasters that could strike at any moment. New features include:


  • Natural disasters, such as power outages, tornadoes, and blizzards!
  • New objects, such as the Windmill, and Generator! Buy steel doors that are safe from storms, or
  • Storms can destroy trees, break windows, destroy furniture, and cause damage!
  • New forms of death! Be swept away by a tornado, or fall into the fault line of an earthquake!
  • You can miss work for a few days, or skip school, with no problems, if a disaster strikes!
  • New furniture theme is: Disaster.
  • Disasters can be turned off, if you wish.
Note: You MUST have The Sims 2: Seasons, in order to play this EP.

Tenshii you beat me to it :)

I would also make an expansion for our little ones. They need so much more workable animated nursery objects. I would love to be able to push them around in a stoler. I wish we had the option to change their appearances, so that we can give them either curly, fair or thick hair. They need a wadrobe so we can also dress them according to seasons.

Then what about a household chore expansion.

Where we can vacuum the carpets, dust the deco and mow the lawn, That would be great, men could tinker in the garages and women could do a proper cleaning of the house, Or the maid could do it too LOL

wow guys these are all AWESOME ideas.
I love your idea Tenshii I've had it in my head, too practically since I bought my game. Not to be mean or anything, but babies are just so lame in the game. I wish they could interact a little more with kids and toddlers, like the interaction of having tots meet their new sibbling and as you guys say: change their appearance&&clothes.
The stroller idea was pretty good. I would also love to be able to take tots and babies to communty lots such as parks and put them in car seats and all sorts of different things =]
we should start all this up, if I only new how to create new interactions I totally would:D

-New options for your Sims: Mousse-ify Your Hair, Breakdancing, etc.!
-Random 80's celebrities are moving to town!

ooh, an expansion kit with different eras! that would be wondrous.

:laugh:  I knew I forgot something in mine also!  Thanks for the reminder, Rock Justice, and cool ideas... would definitely be a plus to have.  :lol:

I have trouble getting in this thread, I can never post and it goes thru. :( Hope this one makes it. :D

I wanted to say to all about the infant pak. I would scrap my pennies for that one. I must make a big thanks to Bloom, Tenshii, Simholic, Raven and others for what CC has been done for the babies. I would be growing them up as soon as they are born.

The SP I would like is one that would cater to elders. I love my elders and really am broken hearted when they die. I would love to have more games that elders play when retired, like cribbage and pinochle, have birds around when they go birdwatching, fishing off piers or be able to put the pole in the water and go lay in the hammock nearby and read or daydream. Have lazy hazy days in their final time of being. More interaction with the grandkids and more activities to do. All of this without the Suckrot (securom) included, like Rock Justice said. ;)

Post by: Tenshii~Akari on October 30, 2008, 08:42:17 am
:lol:  That would be nice.  It'd give me more reason to make more elders in my game.  (though for some odd reason every time I try to make an elder male, the game flops.  That's part of the elder prevention in my game unfortunately...)  :scratch:

And we do seem to be having "ghost posts/pages" problem as of recently.  I've run into both last week only a few days apart.  Something that can easily be fixed when another user posts directly after you.  :angel:

Post by: heartless on October 30, 2008, 06:18:45 pm
yeah, sims 2 could definetly have made retirement more fun for the elders. most of mine never really retire, i just have them keep working cuz' there's nothing better for them to do at home (unless they live with one of their own children and have grandkids to take care of).

  • for universityyou have a lot better pranks, you can have university on computers when your an adult, you can do more than one coruse if you got good enough grades, saxaphone instrument, better dorms!!

  • for seasons you could have disasterious weather like tornados, hurricanes, blizzards, storms etc... also things like farm animals and more crops to grow, more options for food in the fridge depending on what ingredints you have.

  • for apartment life come with more stuff for babies such as clothes and objects /interactions same for toddlers:smt120, also you can buy apartment lots and rent to sims to make your own business and profit:smile:

  • for bon voyage again you can own a hotel and run it as a business, less bugs, more laces to go and memorable things to do

  • other things could have been added:
  • more interactions for the elders, gambling tv station, more neighbourhoods, the lottery,etc(feel free to add on any ideas...

two of the EPs i really, REALLY wish existed...

my EP idea: The Sims 2: Music Fantasy
Do your sims often dream about the day when they will become a famous rock star? How 'bout a self-sufficent indie rocker? Or maybe an aspiring record producer? Then this expansion pack is for you!
Comes with:
- new clothing, from the fancy business suits for your manager to simple street clothes for the struggling musician
-new hairstyles ranging from a simple haircut to the big 80s hair
-new objects (mainly brand-name guitars, basses, drums, microphones, and (drum roll please) real functioning amp stacks)
-new decor your band's or idol's posters to platinum records
-new careers and rewards, and a new aspiration (Fame)
(groupies not included) ;)

the music fantasy one is a really good idea. i miss the "superstar" expansion pack from the sims 1. :(

oh! another idea! well, it's more of a stuff pack than an EP

The Sims 2: Band Geeks Stuff Pack
Let's face it, we all have a band geek inside us all, especially the teenagers and young adults. Maybe you have a great feeling of being in the marching band and feel good when people in the stands cheer for your band as you get on the field before performing your show. How 'bout giving support to the high school football team with enough stand tunes to drive the other team go crazy! :D Or you like to make new friends with people who share the same interest in band or form playful rivalries with other sections (clarinets vs. flutes, trumpets vs. drumline, etc.).  You possibly like competeing onstage during concert season with your secret weapon song, Bernstein's 3rd "Simphony" in concert E flat. whatever the reason, you get to make great music, make lifelong friends, and increase all of your skills so you can a faster promontions as an adult.

Comes with:
-New clothing and accersories for teens and young adults. Your band's T-shirt and basically anything the boosters sell, along marching and concert uniforms
-New objects, all instruments from flutes to trombones to every percussion instrument you can think of
-If you have university, a new sorority specfically for band people, and even the band hall as place to go on campus!
-For the band parents, younger siblings, siblings and friends who arent in band, there are clothes like the popular "Proud Band Parent" to "This is my friend's band shirt" to the hilarious "My big brother's/sister's band is WAY better than your band", and even mini marching uniforms for toddlers! :) (Note: toddler marching uniforms are not intended to be used as real marching uniforms, so don't let your little brother or sister on the field with you in these.)
-New animations like "March" and "Stand Attention"

let's have some fun with the band!

(....yeah. im a little obsessed with band. btw, i've got tons more ideas, so i might post here more often)

They could have really used to have made us able to dress babies in clothes. I mean, really. People in real life don't just keep their babies in diapers and nothing else. The poor things would freeze to death in wintertime.
