Future Sim Improvement Ideas

[Pam]

Back before Sims Medieval was even released, there was talk that there would be more in the series.  It wasn't clear if it would be expansion packs based on Medieval or if it would be completely different themes.  Like Sims in space, Sims in the wild west, etc.  Obviously, we now know it's more Medieval, but I would have loved to see the different themes.  I don't think it's out of the question that we'll see something like that in the future.  Someday.

Would you guys mind easing up on the talk of bullying.  It's a sensitive subject that is being discussed a little too much lately.  Thanks very much.  

Okey dokey Pam.

Also, remember that the idea behind this thread is to think of new things you'd like to see, not just a re-hash of Sims 2.

Since I've never played any sims games beside sims 3 I wouldn't know if my ideas are from there, but maybe they are, I just don't know.

One thing I would like to see in Sims 3 is more part time jobs for teens. I also think those part time jobs should help the teen's career later in life too. It could help them advance earlier and they could get paid more. (EX: Server in the culinary career could increase a teens charisma and cooking skills and will reach them up to level 6 in the cooking career)

I like the idea of having the normal careers have a part time job thing for teens. It could be like an internship.

I'd like to see a Sims game focus on School. (not a Sims 2 rehash of University, grade school). No families, no aging, just children. The player can have the choice between playing in elementary school or High School. They can create their own students with different types of cliques and personalities that effect their school performance, and what after school activities appeal to them. The individual student can gain a reputation, socially, academically etc. They can have wants and wishes like a normal Sims 3 game (Run for Class president, start food fight, sleep in class), have different after school activities, that will effect their reputations. Homecoming and Prom for HS kids would be cool too.

I would really like to be able to see inside the school.

Sims in space... That is a theme I probably would like.

Sims in space, yes!  And we would build within a cool space station.  If anyone remember from SimCity 2000, those Launch Acros, that would be perfect to live in.

I would imagine that the Sims in space occult Sim would have to be an alien.

Beware the Borg.

I would totally buy a star trek the next generation stuff pack. Maybe they should do some television themed stuff packs.

Honestly that would be one EP I wouldn't buy. Science (or math, or history) just won't go through my brain, specially  Earth and Space Science! (Black holes are real?!)


I think EA needs more intruments. We have 3 string instruments -Piano, Guitar and Double Bass. And in the percussion group, drums. For total of four. Only four, music is priceless, I think we need more instruments.
Violin, Trumpets, Bass (rock&roll kind, don't confuse the double bass and the bass.) And woodwind instruments. Such as; Flute, Clarinet
Brass instruments such as trumpets, French Horn, Tuba, Tronbone.

Just basic instruments, but definatly more than four. Please.

A saxaphone would be nice.  Then you could make a jazz club.

Yeah, that too. I didn't know how to spell it.

I think it should be like a profession, like you can go to main menu and toggle control on/off during school, or something like that.

A few things I would love in a Seasons EP for Sims 3:
-Snowmen as a life state, along with hidden traits (immune to cold)
-Summer vacation=no school for children and teens during the summer season, unless they have a D or lower, then they would be required to go to summer school.
-Insane Sims can dress and act inappropriately for the season: Pam, can you picture Indigo Dreamweaver go swimming in the winter cold while her BFF Charlie Sheen wears his winter coat in the summer time?

In a seasons EP the kids could get a good moodlet when its summer and there's no school.
