Future Sim Improvement Ideas

[fortheloveofcake]

I remember that in the Sims 2 for console. I loved that feature. Different combinations of ingredients meant different dishes with varying effects, like if you added eel to the ingredients then the dish would make a Sim have to use the bathroom or puke. There was also like romantic effects and effects that temporarily boosted your energy, strength etc. It was really neat and they should definitely bring that back somehow.

Yes! This is exactly what I was referring to! Sims 3 neeeeeds this! I remember there was some kind of cooked fruit dish that made romantic interactions extra likely to be successful, or something along those lines.

We need a teen style pack. (That was the future SP idea I voted for, by the way!) Even if it was already done in TS2, it should still happen in Sims 3. It always bugs me that Teens get the least amount of clothing options with every expansion or stuff pack. A lot of the clothing options for Late Night and Town Life seem to be most appropriate for teens and young adults, but not so much full adults. Maybe some cute graphics tees, stylish dresses, leggings, flats, and boots, could be in this future stuff pack!

I would like more skinny jeans and leggings, where you can actually have them tucked into your boots!

I think I would prefer a toddler-teen stuff pack, rather than just teens.  YA/Adults have plenty of clothes and hair but the other age groups seem to be ignored.  And I would love one for elders, as well.  I love playing elder sims but they have so few options, even in the EA Store.  Elders can be hip and stylish, too.

Edited to add toddler-teen stuff pack.

I agree, which kinda prevents me from playing the other age groups. I've never played an elder in my decade of simming (yes, take it in..), but they deserve respect and a pizazzled wardrobe.

I can agree/disagree. I actually feel like the children and toddlers, still end up with their own sets of clothes, while the teens are fully ignored.

*Fingers crossed Teen SP wins*

I would really like just an SP for the younger sims in general- teens,children and toddlers too. I think that in general they are all lacking in the clothing department.

Also I think sliding doors would be great, especially if clumsy or insane sims could run into them.

I agree. I had meant to put toddlers-teen but somehow child slipped in there.  I would particulalry like to see more hair styles for toddlers and children.  Braids, curls, high ponytails, bows, etc. All my toddlers tend to look alike, just with different colored and patterned clothes.  To add to a toddler/child oriented stuff pack, I would also like to see variety of stuffed animals, that function like the teddy bear, and maybe things like large trucks that toddlers and children can push around.  Tricycles would be cool and things like kiddie pools, too.

Really?  I always felt that toddlers and children were ignored much more often than teens and have far less clothing options, especially at the Store.  But then, I have always prefered playing children and toddlers, so I may be biased.

I feel that if anything, children and toddlers should get clothes first. A handful of the things that YAs get are also available for teens. I agree that teens need more clothing, but the toddler and children options are barren. And lets not even get started on the topic of men's clothes. I would be happy to a stuff pack dedicated to male clothing options--for all ages-- alone.

This is random and probably the dumbest thing to want back. Anyone remember the Grilled Cheese Aspiration in Sims 2? I played a sim with that once. I kinda wish it was back.

[jeanamariex3]

I still play with that because sometimes I get really burned out from TS3 (sorry mods for the bad language ), so I go back to TS2, and often give it to Don Lothario.

Maybe it can serve as a lifetime wish, like "Eat x amount of Grilled Cheese."

I actually really liked it, too.  It would be neat if they could make grilled cheese do something to a sim's unborn baby.  Eat apples for boys, watermelon for girls, grilled cheese for alien babies, or whatever.

My gosh, memories. It's impossible to transfer nostalgia to something modern..I miss that. Grilled Cheese is actually the only thing I can cook by myself in RL. Memories!

What was the grilled cheese thing? I didn't play TS2.

In Sims 2, sims didn't have traits, they had an aspiration that largely directed what they wished for; kind of like a lifetime wish is one big goal for a sim's life.  They were Knowledge, Family, Popularity and a couple of others.  I think there were five in all with all the EPs.  There was a sixth, however, the grilled cheese aspiration.  Your sim became a grilled cheese by using a reward gadget when they weren't in a good mood.  They got zapped and their previous aspiration disappeared and was replaced by grilled cheese and the desire to consume 250 grilled cheese sandwiches in their lifetime.  That was not easy without extending their life!  They had special interactions like Talk About Grilled Cheese and I believe they could make grilled cheese for any meal.

It was silly, but so random it was funny.

I remember the obese sims after completing the aspiration!
