Future Sim Improvement Ideas

[Leto85]

Omg. Leto I love you! That is what I've been dreaming for years! (I am in love with MARVEL! Ironman, Spiderman, Avengers, Hulk all of that!)
This I rate to the infinity! Oh, I love you! This would be like my dream EP!

That's one of the most lovely comments I've read recently.

I would like to see some more stand alone non generational games in Sims. Games along the line of TSM where it has a particular story lined theme, and involves tasks.

I know this isn't exactly Sims 3 but that's a Sims Game I'd really like to see. Maybe the next one could be a fairy tale theme.

I want the exact opposite, jeanamarie!  I would like TSM to become generational.  It's a nice break to focus on a similar but simpler game when all the possibilities of TS3 wear on me.   

[folcon]

TSM??  Which expansion was that?

[CSquared2]

It stands for The Sims Medieval.

[folcon]

*facepalms*  I didn't think of that.  Though something in the line of Castaway with updated graphics, skills, character creations, etc.

Has anyone mentioned a sketchbook?  My Sim can practice music anywhere, can run all over town to increase athletics, can cook or repair broken things at other Sims' homes but has no outlet for artistic expression except an easel at home.  S/he should be able to pull out a sketchbook anywhere and draw to his/her heart's content (while raising art skill).

Aw that's beautiful. I would love that, and it would be wall art two! And while they raise their skill, in the sketchbook they would draw in pencil and then like level 5 they would get the option to color in.

Ditto.  I've always wanted something like a mini, portable easel, but a sketchbook would be awesome.  And more realistic.  I like the idea of getting more options as your skill level goes up, too.

I like the sketchbook idea. They could sit and sketch what they're looking at.
Maybe even be able to set up like a street artist and have people come up and ask for a sketch of themselves.

[imaGleek]

Yeah that'd be cool, they could "paint for tips."

I want more mean interactions under the Mean Pie Menu for Children. They need the same mean interactions as adults. It's kind of silly that my mean-spirited child doesn't have the ability to autonomously back talk his parents, or beat up his classmates. Mean spirited children are too nice.

Same with inappropriate children. I think my inappropriate child should be able to have the the ability to make fun of the third party. If the child is interacting with Mortimer Goth, and Malcolm Landgraab is right there in the corner, the child should be able to have the options to "Make Fun Of Malcolm," "Mock Malcolm," "Talk about Malcolm's IQ" etc. On the other hand, why is Mortimer unable to get the "Out Of Sorts" moodlet like his parents? I really want a "Back Talk" interaction, that can autonomously be used by mean spirited, evil, snobby and grumpy children on their parents. Before anyone says anything, mind you, this is a T for Teen game, and every child has back talked their parents at least once or twice. I know I did.

I know this has been mentioned before, but in the sims 2, the university and seasons eps was my absolute favorites! I really really want them back for TS3! (:

I do not want bullying at all. No way.
I was bullied, and that drove me insane, to the point I dreaded school.
(EDIT: Rereading Jeana's post made me see this: "...and every child has back talked their parents at least once or twice. I know I did.". I didn't. My Best Friend definitely hasn't. I'm sure plenty haven't.)

I'd like ethnicity in TS3 - stuff like Maori, Spanish, English, American, that sort of thing. Maybe interactions for each ethnicity - like Maoris could go "Chur" to others (Chur is Kiwi Slang for great) and British people could be naturally polite. Maybe the Spanish cook Tacos more than anyone else. Or Americans could ask others to toss the pigskin around.

[Sportsfan]

Yeah we talked about this before and definintly no bullying for me either.

By ethnicity you mean adding on to the culture hidden traits/stuff that each county has?

I think a back talk interaction seems okay.
Seabody, you mean you've never told your parents you disagree with them?
