Future Sim Improvement Ideas

[Chuckles_82]

I could send you my adapted version of the apocalypse challenge if you like? I haven't adapted it for pets yet though, but I'm sure that won't be too hard. That and an desert island that would be perfect

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.

That would be optional right? LOL.

Of course.

More accesories and hairstyles for guys.  I'm getting tired of seeing half a dozen or more new hairstyles for female sims, and one new hair style for guys.  That might be a bit of an exageration, but still.

And hello! guys wear more than just studs for ear rings.

Body Jewerly? Is that hard? I mean, now, don't go overboard, but a nose piercing? Or a belly piercing? Something simple, created by EA that isn't CC.

I love the idea of a different "mode" in which to play the game.  Apocalypse mode would be great.  Also, I could see a "castaway" mode in imitation of the Sims 2 standalone game.  There are lots of fun ideas wrapped up in that one!

I was thinking today how I'd like to have a American southwest/desert-type neighborhood.

Oh, and when you elect to have more than one everyday outfit, it would be nice to be able to change the hairstyle for each of them, rather than having to set one that may or may not fit them all.

LOL! That option has been available since the beginning of Sims 3. All you have to do is click the lock button in the upper right hand corner in the hairstyle selection.

I would like to see this option for makeup though. Like I said, in real life, I wear my makeup like Kim Kardashian during the day, but take it off by night, so my Sims should be able to do the same thing.

Jeana, I think you misunderstood, although I might be wrong and there could be an option that I'm unaware of.  I know you can set different hairstyles for different outfits, but if you do Plan Outfit with a dresser, you can have up to three of each type, everyday, formal, etc.  But you have to use the same hair with each of them, as far as I can tell.

Does unlocking the hairstyles still mean you have to wear the same one with all the everyday outfits?  I didn't think was the case.  If you go to a mirror and Change Appearance, then unlock the hairstyles, I think you can have a different hairstyle for each outfit.  It's a bit of a bother because you have to change into each outfit and go back to the mirror while wearing each outfit to change the hair that goes with it, but I believe it can be done.  I need to check on this.

[CSquared2]

Thanks for spelling that out for me.  I thought there might be a way, but I couldn't quite pin it down in my head the order in which it would have to be done.  I'll check on it, too, tomorrow.   

I just checked this out and you ladies are right.  Thanks Pam & Jeana!  Imagine how long I went without knowing that!   

This totally adds to your complaint about make-up, Jeana.  If it can be done with hair, even only after you leave CAS (which is when you'd be creating extra outfits anyway), why not make-up?  They totally need a make-up unlock option.

I know that this forum is against mods, but I know several mods that do almost all of what you wish for!

That being said it would be nice if EA had it done instead of using mods or just wishing!  who knows.. Christmas is a magical season maybe EA will fix all of this! 

I also agree on the body jewelry,  Also I would like non-CC curly hair styles, there aren't enough curls, tight curls, loose curls, ringlets (especially for the little girls - adorable!), and long hair.. like waist long hair. 

And maybe a blank world for people who don't have CAW (or one that works at least!) so we can design our own place, or a variety of small, medium, large blank worlds - landscaped, with roads, but nothing else.  I've an idea but I have no working CAW so I ended up blowing up Sunset Valley   start my design there.  (of course my game crashed and everything was lost - word of warning... save often!!)

I'd like some more Female Hairstyles that are not glammed up or styled. I just want hairs like the Catch-A-Wave with the hair let down loose and stuff like that. Oh and some shaggy/everywhere style hair for Males would be good.

[Chuckles_82]

cndneh, if you have a particular world in mind, I could give it a go - though it depends I guess if you want it for free play or for challenges, as you can't use non-EA games for our challenges. I'm currently working on a mini modern island, but I'm nearing completion for that project, so when I'm done I'd be happy to give it a go. I could make it blank with roads and spawners, and leave it up to you to put the trees - or I could do all that and just leave blank lots - you'd have to specify what lot sizes you need.

There are some requests in the request threads for blank worlds as well. So there is a few people who would download a world like that.

I'll make it my personal mission to get one done next then Actually I had planned on making a blankish version of my island, or something similar.
