soundtrack and music business (2 topic in 1)

[rulepha]

ok i have one suggestion and one proposal to the devs.

im a musician, im working in the music business for 7 years and im in a part of one of the most famous studios in my country so i have the needed supply to record and make music.
so here is my proposal i am willing to make new music to the game if the devs needs/wants to change the old music. and note that i wont ask anything in return i just want to help and participate this great development of the game.

and my suggestion is adding the music business in the game im talking about selling instruments, instrument parts like strings or replacement parts, amps, sound systems, cd's etc.. adding studios, music labels and bands/musicians, educating music in schools and the supply needed for music products (like insturments as i said) can be decided by the total music education and the music educated citizens in the city, the bands/musicians can make concerts/tours and based on their expertise they can be more famous and by being sponsor and donating to these musician/bands can increase the brand rating/awareness of your product thus increasing the demand. or buying a music label and make albums to selected musicians and selling these albums (again based on the expertise of the musician can incease or decrease the sells)
i dont know if people got interested by this but im just throwing ideas to the table

This sounds fun. We should totally do a Music & Arts mod for it. I think the products are quite easy and can be done with current modding, the problem will be the education facility part. Right now they are just general "research" as "product class" in universities. Unless the modding for government facilities are opened, it will be quite limited. The tourism attraction could be used as like symbol of Hollywood that sort of thinks as long as we can make great building images to represent the industries.

As to increase demand through advertising, probably we need to make the "abstract" music into some kind of technology or software products, we should be able to mod software when Digital Age DLC comes out.

For the most part I love music and fine art as well as aesthetic improvement of the game. We should totally make a rework of the game graphics as well as sound effects and musics. I wonder how long will it take though.

yeah it sounds really fun to me when i think about it and its a bit different than just increasing the number of products because there are many details that counts so it can be complicated in a fun way.
by speaking of number of product i think there should be way more. the realworld mod increasing the product number to 600+ (and its ultimately fun in my opinion) and i think it should be in the base game (as dlc or not it doesnt matter) because when you first think of it it doesnt really much different but when you play it the more product there is the more complicated and fun it is like i can focus on only food sector and not getting bored in the long run when there are 30-40 products in the food class. in the base game you go for canned corn/chicken, corn flakes, cakes and thats all so you quickly come from ''ok i want to build a food company lets go!'' to ''hmm ok whats next what should i do now'' because of the lack of product number. you can call me crazy but i wish for total of 1200-1500 products! think of all the fun and variations!

and for the music my idea is doing something like the gta or cities skylines. there will be radio stations you can listen for certain genres and we will make original tracks for each station. it will be fun and it will free the developers from paying the license for each track.
