Future Sim Improvement Ideas

There are therapies? For mid-life crisis? That's new to me.

Yeah that came with Generations. Not sure if it was in the patch too though.

We really need a bossy trait. I have to admit, am very bossy.

Along the same lines, we need a follower trait. I mean they are a sim that just looks up to other people and copies them and doesn't do anything independently.

Trickster, someone who can lie their way into getting what they want, can maybe get career promotions and such but can get caught and sent to jail for a bit if they lie too much or pull too many tricks?

[Sportsfan]

Sounds more like a sleaze to me. I think of a trickster as a practical joker.

I'd like to see the vegetarian trait improved. They shouldn't have less meals, they should have the exact same amount or more, considering they can't eat the fish dishes they make. I'd also like non veggie sims to have the temporary ability to make veggie meals for housemates and guests with the trait and vice versa.

Yes! I agree with you Carlos. I'm vegetarian and I eat way more variety than the Sims do. I get quite irritated that my Sims have fewer options. No real life vegetarian is that picky. Also, too what about getting rid of the constantly getting sick when slipping meat? No one gets sick right away, and not everyone gets sick from eating meat when they've been veggie for 20 years. My dad's girlfriend is VEGAN and has had accidental traces of meat and she never gets sick from it. I think getting sick from eating meat every time is not realistic, and is an individual thing, not a thing that automatically happens when you are veggie. What if my veggie decides he wants to eat meat again after a midlife crisis (LTR)? He's perfectly fine after his first steak, but two hours ago, that steak made him sick. I think veggies should choose NOT to eat meat (obviously) but not get sick from EATING the meat.

I would like for Sims to get sick (colds, flu, allergies, etc.) so that they can make use of the hospital. And for pregnant sims to be able to pay a fee at the hospital to determine baby's gender.  Basically, I want the hospitals to be more useful, other than getting a job and therapy for a midlife crisis.

I agree. I remember when Sims got a cold and had to stay home for a few days, years later in Pleasantview. That added some realism. Maybe when seasons comes out, colds and flu will return. Maybe they can add a little something like they automatically have to stay home from school/work, and the teen and child's peers' can bring them their homework.

Jeana, what would outgoing and weird Sims do?

Outgoing Sims will simply befriend every random stranger they meet, and be more likely to strike conversations with strangers immediately. The could relieve their bladder needs behind the bush (another interaction I think belongs to inappropriate Sims), be able to woo-hoo and flirt with strangers, and the stranger would be okay with it.


Weird, I think would be "strange" or "odd" without the autonomous and idle abilities to chase their elbows like they're dogs chasing their tails, catch a fly and eat it, or randomly go into self argument, but still wear their PJ's to the fancy Bistro down the street.

Trickster, someone who can lie their way into getting what they want, can maybe get career promotions and such but can get caught and sent to jail for a bit if they lie too much or pull too many tricks?

I think that's what rebellious Sims do Thomas.

Behold I have a great idea for all of us who actually Garden in their Sims' home (backyard, not like, inside.) A sprinkler. That actually works! And rotates to cover the garden! Like the whole thing, not only foward and backwards. Seriously! I have like 5 sprinklers on a 5x5 garden! With 5 plants!

Just as there are traits which are unavailable for children and teens, I wish there were traits for those age groups that they could grow out of and grow into something else.

I could see:
bratty
eager to please
mother's little helper
fanciful
bothersome
prodigy
talkative

Some of those have adult alternatives, some not.  Just a fun idea.

Tomboy.

I'd like general more favorite food options. Lasagna, Ice Cream, French Fries, Chocolate Cake, Tacos, Burritos and Pizza need to be an option for a Sim's favorite food. Also, I'd like an actual pizzeria where Sims could go out to eat pizza and interact. I loved the "Steal a Bite" "Throw food" and very flirty "Feed a Bite." That would be great with Sims in general. Sims could also learn to make pizza and use different ingredients like veggies and meat, not just pepperoni. Maybe Sims could get creative too.

[CSquared2]

So it could apply to boys or girls, maybe Loves Dirt?  Also, as a compliment to that: Fussy.

[Sportsfan]

And teacher's pet.

[Sportsfan]

I agree. What kind of master chef can't make pizza?

[CarlosLordofTacos]

Why is there no toaster? It could be a tiny +5 moodlet meal What master chef can`t make toast?!
