Future Sim Improvement Ideas

[unicornfan85]

I was thinking of an official geek or nerd trait.

Also,

There could still be a moodlet boost for wearing clothes that you make yourself with a sewing machine Or room moodlet boost, like when you experiment on stuff, for curtains and stuff. Sims could have a 'self sufficient' moodlet while making things.

How did you read my mind?  I'm working on a self sufficient project to add to the forum.  Get out of my head.

Haha I have played sims for soo long... and read and tried a lot of different challenges to keep the game interesting. I believe there is a self-sufficient option in Aaroc's legacy. You can call your project 'The Good Life' (I'm not sure if you've ever seen that tv show - but if you don't know it you could google it).

Safe deposit boxes! I was playing my Dynasty, and at the end of day one, Habenero was starving and had 26 Life Fruit in her inventory.
...
Luckily Ricalynn, Hosfac, enchanted81, and a few others whom I can't remember came to the rescue with the idea of a small room with no entrance.

Yeah, I think they'd be good for storing stuff if you can't afford to get a chest.

I would love if a Sims favorites actually did more. Like they get a mood boost if a room is in their favorite color, listen to their favorite station and eat their favorite food.

I think safety deposit boxes are a genius idea Seabody. You should be able to choose whether it's family owned (anyone in the family can put or take out things in it) or privately owned (only a single sim can use it and if something happens to that sim than the person with the closest relationship gets the contents or something). I think you should be able to put money in them too. I'm a bad spender when it comes to simoleans and I always spend the household funds before I buy what I was saving them for. It would be great if I could put some away for those emergency situations (like my founder has triplets instead of a single nooboo or a meteor lands on the house).

The favorite music playing will give the Sim +25, on the good music moodlet. With favorite colors, I really don't see the point either. I like to dress my Sims up in different colors, and not the same ones, based on their favorites. My favorite color is blue, but I don't have all my outfits that way. The favorite food they only get excited and choke on their food.

Personally, I think either drop the favorite color and food, or give more too it with the Sim. I really agree with you on this.

I'd like to see Werewolf, Plant and Sim/Bigfoot hybrids. Seriously, having a werewolf sim looks awesome enough in Sims 2.... With so much better graphics available, just imagine  what they'd look like now!

I'd really like it if we could color customize the coustumes from the coustume chest. That's be really cool.

I miss all the interesting creatures from the Sims 2, too. I loved my Plant Sims! What I miss most is proper witches, though... I know there's a lot of sims store stuff aimed toward making witches, but what's up with making the magic book cost so much? It made me sad I want real witches with a real magic skill!

I wished Sims had Hotels they could stay at. Like if they wanted a night away from home for a secret rendezvous or something in the city.
I also really wished that they would add the hair selector in with the clothing because especially for Dynasties it gets rather tedious to have to go back and forth between dresser and mirrors. I know there's the sylist station but of course it's bugged. Plus, I really don't want to have to place that huge thing in my houses either.

I know I've seen countless people wish to change sims' makeup with their outfit. Has anyone else noticed since the last patch that this is now possible?

[Chuckles_82]

It's been a while since we added anything to this thread - and I know it's from sims 2 - but I'd really like to see death by flies come back. It was creepy and funny. I only ever found out about it while doing a legacy - for which I needed every colour ghost - but it was an... interesting addition!

[jeanamariex3]

I could see Death by flies being a yellowish ghost with fireflies surrounding it. That really is a fun death.

I can see a vacation home out of this. Just have them have a home in each location, and they can decorate the house for themselves.

The 1.32 patch leaked information about the next expansion pack which includes Werewolves, so you may see this come true!

I would have thought a stinky green ghost (like when the Sim doesn't shower, or food goes bad)  but definitely with flies buzzing around it.

Romantic Interests, nuff said.

 It's ridiculous. A "Romantic Interest" is equal to the slang, "crush". You can Try For A Baby with a Romantic Interest, for pete's sake. That's like saying, "My crush is the father of my baby!". The creators need to fix this feature, imo.

 And I disagree with height sliders. I don't think they're a good idea..

[Ricalynn]

I think of Romantic Interests as in people that you may date from time to time but haven't committed to being only with one person.  You're playing the field.  When you go steady with someone, then it's a monogamous relationship.
