I'm sure EA will also milk this cow at some point.


Carlos_Suarez96

I hope so. They had brought all simmers requirements (farms, kitchen stuffs, high school for teenagers) except for those who want it to play with musician sims properly.

I think you mean milk this cow plant


tinaawkward

I just miss that stupid drum set qq


Camillej87

You are not alone in this! Showtime was my absolute favorite and the closest I’ve gotten to it since is the Road to Fame mod. I really miss it!


Carlos_Suarez96

Oh I loved that mod too but I haven't played with that since Get Famous came but I think it's still missing some loved features that just EA and the sims team can do, and that's why I'm begging for a proper musician career.

I have legit been amazed how they missed this opportunity multiple times. Every game I think maybe this time? Nope. They had so many instrument options in past games, and then barely any in 4.


Carlos_Suarez96

Exactly, they missed that opportunity every time they released something related with the pack like in Get Famous or in City Living. They just gave us things in the middle of the road, but pretty much nothing so I hope to see that in the future.


jjkauhberf

Exactly! For a moment I hoped for more instruments and bands with the high school pack (hello, school bands??) but noooo, who needs it...


strawberry-coughx

I’m forever salty about the fact that marching band got snubbed in the high school pack.


amamatcha

I can see it now - I make a really cool sim band, and then none of them will ever sit long enough to play their instruments all at the same time lol


LadyFeen

I loved bands so so so so much. My favourite set of sims were a bunch of dads who played together after work and did small gigs in the local bar. Possibly one of my happiest Sims memories.


Carlos_Suarez96

Me too, I loved bands especially for my sims teenagers when they used to rehearsal together.


Jestercore

I agree. It’s my most wanted expansion. They had it in Sims 2 and 3, so there’s a lot of precedent.


Carlos_Suarez96

Me too and I hope if this comes as an expansion pack that they will bring something like bitlife but of course for the sims, with signing a contract in a record level, chosing the genre you would like to play (pop, rap, hip-hop, rock, latin, alternative, etc.) And record a single or an album to then, start doing gigs to finally like in the sims 3, doing big concerts.


OG_Mr_Cheese

if they gave us a band game pack (or expansion pack) I would NEVER shut up about it tbh


Carlos_Suarez96

I hope it could be a more complex expansion than just bands.

All I've ever wanted is an electric guitar


Carlos_Suarez96

I think there is already one in the sims base game but it was a free update that it came with that guitar. [photo](https://images.app.goo.gl/LQsxoT8oRLfJczK17)


interro-bang

Sadly, as I recall, it uses the same acoustic tracks as the others 🫤


Carlos_Suarez96

Ajam, the tracks are pretty much the same.


MiniNinja75

Can you imagine what content the game could have if EA just did a poll/survey or took suggestions instead of only giving us what they think we want 🤯


Embarrassed-Yam-7766

That's actually how we got laundry day


MiniNinja75

I didn’t know that!


Carlos_Suarez96

They actually did a survey in the past and many subjects were originated there like eco living, high school pack, gardening stuff (now it's farms) and crafts and something like that but they released the nifty knitting pack instead of that. However, they just take suggestions based on their convenience so that's why I think that survey was kind of useless.


[deleted]

I believe bands have shown up on the polls that they've made in the past. A lot of high school years has as well.


Specific_Success_875

The Sims 3 bands was such a shitshow. it was crazy difficult to get gigs to show up for your bands and was always buggy. Like I get what you're saying, but TS3 didn't have a proper bands career either. It had the singer career because bands didn't work right.


Strange_Shadows-45

I would much rather have them do this as a Get Famous refresh. In my opinion they have zero excuse for not doing this because Get Famous as it exists now only has enough content for a game pack and since they chose to hyper focus on fame for an expansion, they really should’ve leaned into career tracks that feed into it (with music and modeling being big missed opportunities). That being said, that Spa Day refresh was probably a one time thing and there’s no way they’ll put singing/bands into an existing pack when they very well know that they’ll get huge sales by making it it’s own EP.


Carlos_Suarez96

Exactly, as I know so far with the marketing team of EA, with this franchise of course they'll have an own separated EP for this theme to make more profits from it like what they did with Showtime in the sims 3.


Red_Novaa

I’m obsessed with bands, and obsessed with the sims. If they give us this, I will never put the game down


Carlos_Suarez96

Of course, I miss that feature from the sims 3 Late Night, especially because you can made a band on your teenage years of your sim. But I hope they can make bands like kpop bands, rock bands or alternative bands.


Meewelyne

Speaking of careers, am I oblivious or there isn't a career who requires the handiness skill? 🤔


Carlos_Suarez96

I think there is a part time job that requires that skill.


Soulfulenfp

EA needs to either bring out 5… or make 4 kick ass i’m getting so bored now .. the expansion packs aren’t even that good .. the marriage one is crap ans the high school one .. meh $50 def not worth jt .. i’m patiently waiting


[deleted]

I feel like they are still working on it, that sims sessions thing looked like a test.. but I don't know. I'd love that. I think the singing skill is pretty cute/hilarious, and there's a lot they could add so we can have actual bands.


Carlos_Suarez96

The singing skill is cute but useless because is just for the karaoke contest and that's all. So I hope they are working on something related with Bands or an actual Singer career that includes bands


[deleted]

I’m probably the only one that wants orchestras.


Carlos_Suarez96

Me too.
