Idea for a new region: Switzerland

I assume that in the future the developers plan to add a new city to the game. When I played the new add-on I realized that it is possible to create another tourist city with an amazing atmosphere, new experience and expansion of mechanics. Switzerland as a reference fits this description well.

What can be added?

  • Warm clothes. There are no options for cold weather in the game yet. There are not enough sweaters, varieties of hats and warm earmuffs, gloves.

  • New food. The location will most likely be a union of Scandinavian countries, so you can add products typical of this area. For example: fondue, roulade, sausages, meatballs, raclette, etc.

  • Farming. New mechanics, where animals will be available for breeding: sheep, cows, goats. Cow and goat give milk, which can also be used in recipes or just drunk, and also sold. Sheep give wool, which can later be used in knitting.

  • Knitting. A new type of craft. Products can become more complex at different levels. From simple napkins and toys to new items of clothing. These items can be individual and will only be available in the wardrobe after creation or purchase.

  • Winter sports and entertainment. What winter would be without skating, skiing, snowboarding? The city may have a special training area or a full-fledged ski resort. Snowball fights, sledding, snowman building, and walks through ice labyrinths may be available for all ages. Christmas holidays are also worth highlighting. Add more family interactions, cooking for the whole family, preparing and unpacking New Year’s gifts.

  • New professions: farmer, ecologist, machinist, trainer.

  • New transport: bicycle.

I will be glad to receive additional ideas. I hope that my idea will be liked and in the future it will be possible to walk along the green lawns of the Alpine slopes. Pet some lambs, play snowballs with friends and learn how to do some ice skating tricks.

I’d love a Switzerland inspired pack + skiing so much

I’d love a Colorado style pack,

Or perhaps a whistler type pack.

My ultimate wish would be to have a moody autumny town like stars hollow, with lakes and forest, and a town square

YES +1! Right after Cahaya was announced, I kept thinking of a Netherland/Denmark/Finland etc. inspired snowy landscape for the next DLC! I live in California, USA, so it would be great to play a more colder region :blush:

This would be an awesome new map! It could use elements from the car-free village of Zermatt in Switzerland. It looks very storybook. The map can have a split set-up similar to Cahaya where one part is a residential area and another part is a ski resort.

Also, due to the village having very few vehicles getting around would be unique. Zois can get around via electric taxis, trains, ski lifts, snowmobiles, and bikes.

I absolutey love this and the idea of getting bikes as a form of transport. Would also be nice to make the transportation between neighborhoods and around the city to be a tramway instead of a bus :custom_heart:

Glad to see others are thinking along these lines too!

Sorry I didn’t notice your post before creating my own, maybe the mods will merge the two threads and keep all the ideas in one spot. Cheers!

It was great to see so many similarities in ideas. It means the probability of it being implemented is higher)
