Future Sim Improvement Ideas

[alex51299]

I' d also like to see diving boards. I thought the outdoor living SP would be a perfect opportunity for this but no. I also would like to see more interaction between kids. I mean they added hopscotch but maybe some hand games or special handshakes or something. Oh and card games would be pretty cool too.

This popped up in my mind: churches! Every Sunday, Sims would have to go to church for 2 hours. Go to church, you get a 'blessed' moodlet that is +100, lasts all day. Fail to come, you get a 'cursed' or 'belittled' moodlet that is -100 and lasts all day.

I think they don't have hat because they don't want to start any religious problems.

I'm Jewish so I wouldn't personally like the church thing at all, but I can see the appeal.

You know what I just thought of, I don't know if they ever did this in Sims 2 (I play both and have for years), but maybe children should form a group for a social outing with their peers. I know sometimes (with Generations) there will be random options for a play-date with another household, so why can't children form groups amongst themselves? I think they should have their own set of interactions with classic childhood games like duck duck goose, monkey in the middle, four square, kickball etc. I don't know, just a thought as to how child's play in the Sims can be improved for future EP's.

Personally though, I know people on the official Sims 3 forums are posting threads begging to make the game more realistic, me I personally don't want that. Sure this is a LIFE Simulation, but I want them to keep the unrealistic elements too. I kind of like having the town overpowered with vampires and making my Sim an instant celebrity, and even growing silly things on the ground. Veggie burgers anyone?

I think a +100 and a -100 is pretty extreme for a moodlet. Besides it would never make it because it is about religion, not everyone is the same religion and it could spark tensions between EA and such. If you argue that they did it in Sims Medieval, well that is because it was historically accurate. In Medieval Times you would probably be killed if you were not religious. Besides it is against the Forums Rules to discuss religion so I think we should drop this idea.

I'd love the idea of making a Group/Gang but not like the whole Alcohol and weapons type of Gang, that term got hijacked so maybe just a Social Group and the children can then call a group meeting in their Tree House or Den.

I wouldn't want the Game being realistic, I for one play this game to get away from Reality. Reality sucks, Lol.

I want a Magic EP, not The Sims 2 magic more like The Sims 1.  There was charms as well as spells, I for one would love to have pet dragons. The Sims 1 was a little limiting with the needs and I would love to see it with the lovely graphics of The Sims 3. The best thing about using magic was it something anyone could do, it wasn't a life state. All you would need is a wand in your inventory.  There is already a spell book from the store so bring on the magic. A scuba tank and sky diving simulator would rock to.

I see YA's as being 18-35 years old,

What age do you see Adults being?

I really think EA should improve the hair dyeing/color system. We should be able to have one streak or 3 of different colors. Do what they did with the coat for pets, give us different shapes that we could put on the hair style. I think they could do that. Oh and coontails.

A button to delete all memories. That could save a half hour.

A option to supress celebrity and vampires will be so nice!

Yes! These are both badly needed. It would be so much more convenient if we could experience the benefits of having an awesome EP without these sorts of annoyances. (Although the celeb and vamp thing are a huge and main part of LN, I still think we should have a chance to suppress them, especially as it can make some types of challenges harder in some cases.)

What age do you see Adults being?

I see Adults as being 35-65. Just like real life adults. 

You know what I thought of as a really cool idea for a future Stuff Pack? Maybe a party themed one with a DJ booth, NPC DJ, and different types of party balloons, and games for children too: Pin the tail on the donkey, Pinata, etc. Wouldn't it be fun if children got moodlets (sugar rush), and got overly hyper from all that candy?

While a delete all memories button would be nice it would be even better to have as an option to surpress memories altogether.

New idea: Apocalypse Mode. Everything is more challenging (Harder to make friends, more expensive lots/furniture, harder skilling, less money, etc.) but add some sort of bonus (Big amounts of money every 4 sim weeks?). Just a thought.
