IDEA Pack: Broadcasting, Meteorologist & … Superheroes?
Here is my idea for a new Sims 4 pack...
Careers in broadcasting:
Radio DJ
Podcaster
Talk Show Host - Late Night or Daytime
News Anchor
Field Reporter - fly a News Chopper!
Photojournalist - Freelance, sell photos to tabloids or news outlets
Meteorologist
Superheroes
The relationship of Journalist and Superhero team-ups are a common comic book trope (Vicki Vale, Lois Lane, etc) with many Alter Egos working in the news industry (Clark Kent, Peter Parker, etc). A Broadcasting pack would be a great accompaniment to introduce a new Superhero occult-type, where Reporters chronicle the stories of their herodom or villainy.
Features
Newsworthy Events
Press Tour
Weather Phone App
and more!

Here is a collection of ideas to improve and refresh the Painting Skill in Sims 4.
IDEA: Easel Painting: Add Frame
IDEA: Folk Art category for the Painting Skill
IDEA: Occult Paintings & Crafts
IDEA: Easel Painting: Add Frame
POST: EA Forum AHQ, add +MeToo
The Painting Skill only comes with one frame: Black. It would be a great update if the same color choices we get with Add Frame to Photos (Photography) were applied to our painted art from the Painting Skill.
Empty Frames would be a cool Buy Mode item to add to the game. These empty frames would snap to Small, Medium and Large paintings and come in a variety of sizes, styles and colors. Empty Frames could also be used as a stand-alone wall decor item to create an artistic gallery feature wall.
Additions like these would enhance the Painting Skill and could fit perfectly as a Kit, or include in a larger Stuff Pack that introduces a new Art Hobby, such as a Sculpting or an Antique/Art Collector pack.
IDEA: Folk Art category for the Painting Skill
POST: EA Forum AHQ, add +MeToo
The cultural additions of wearable CAS and regional Foods are welcomed inclusions to the game. To expand upon this, what if your Sims could paint their own Folk Art using the easel?
Sims could decorate their homes with hand-painted art of their heritage. For example, Artesanía paintings would beautifully compliment the world of Ciudad Enamorada and Selvadorada. Nihonga folk art would add the perfect painted touch to homes in Mt. Komerobi. Go beyond DLC to include other folk styles: Kalamkari, Tingatinga, Dalmalning, Gongbi, Wycinanki and so many more.
Choosing the Folk Art category would behave the same as any other painting category, producing a random cultural painting to sell or display. Easel > Folk Art > Small, Medium, Large
Let's introduce a new art style for the Painting skill: Folk Art.
IDEA: Occult Paintings & Crafts
POST: EA Forum AHQ, add +MeToo
What if Occult Sims had their own painting category on the easel?
What if art truly imitated Occult life?
This is what it could look like:
LINK: Google Docs: Occult Arts & Crafts Examples
Occults could express their unique lived experience and view of their world through art. These works would make wonderful decorative pieces for their homes keeping with the theme exclusive to their Life State. Paintings would reveal "Oh, a Werewolf must've painted this."
This painting feature would only become available if playing as that Occult. For instance, clicking on the easel as a Vampire Sim gives the option to paint Vampire, Pop Art, Impressionism, etc. It would be very rewarding and add more creative depth to all Life States the Sims 4 has to offer. Aliens could decorate their homes with galactic-inspired paintings. Servos could produce robotic Figure Paintings or pixel art.
This feature needn't be limited to just the easel. Child Occults could produce their own crafts on the Activity Table. Spellcaster children could craft a glitter-and-glue magic wand. Alien children could craft a paper plate UFO. Mermaid children could draw dolphins. Vampire children could craft a popsicle spiderweb.
Woodworking could also play a role with Occult art. Vampires could create a small Coffin trinket box, and then advance to a full-size Coffin furniture item, both rough and refined versions. Spellcasters could craft the common Wood Wand at low level, then introduce a new Intricate Wood Wand at higher skill. Servos could craft a wooden Icosahedron. And so forth.

The overly large Cupcake Machine is funny and forgotten. It's a quirky object that makes very normal, basic baking recipes. Why not use this machine to make quirky and wonky recipes!
Topsy-turvy cakes
Oversized cookies
Clown cakes
Throwable whipped-cream pie (Comedy + Mischief)
Silly recipes for a silly machine.

Suggestion for a Play button on the Manage Households dialog pop-up to quickly start playing that household. Skip the step of loading each world map, hovering over each lot, just to find your desired household to play.

The Fitness Stuff Pack offers a unique feature to perform a workout routine through the Workout TV channel. However, there are also some unfortunate limitations to the Workout TV channels that could use a second look and hopefully get corrected through a Pack Refresh.
Increase Participation
Did you know that only ONE Sim at a time can use the Workout Channel? This may be by design or an oversight, but that means in a household of 8 Sims, only ONE Sim can work out via the Workout TV channel at a time. No other participants can join in. If I form a group of Sims, this group still cannot work out together at the same time using the Plumboomba Dance or Power Sculpting channels.
The Solution
This could be fixed to allow more than one Sim to participate, offer a Work Out Together option for groups , and make it so any Sim at any time to join in when the Workout channel is already playing on the TV.
TVs at Gyms
Allow the Workout channel to be used autonomously when on the Gym lot and with the added touch of townie Sims activating and using this feature on their own. Our playable Sims could then join, and vise versa.
New Features to Add:
Aerobics Instructor Career
Step Aerobics
