Future Sim Improvement Ideas

[purple_roses2110]

There was an idea I threw around for awhile over at the official Sims 3 website:

Have three or four cities in one game connected. Each city offers their own little thing.

That would, however, be a huge file, and a lot of people are already have trouble with the Sims 3 being too big. Lol. But it's an interesting idea.


Edit: Oh, and maybe get rid of rabbitholes? They're ok, but I'd prefer not to have them.

We already have a thread about what players would like to see as future improvements.  It's not necessarily about The Sims 4 because it's just too premature for those discussions.  I'm going to merge this topic with it.

1. A wider variety of Birthday cakes and Wedding cakes
2. A variety of different pastries that can be cooked by all sims with the ability to cook, not just kids

I don't know if you have to have Sims 3: Ambitions, but kids with the toy oven can make

    Chocolate Cookies
    Chocolate Brownies
    Chocolate Cupcakes
    Chocolate Cakes
    Vanilla Muffins
    Sugar Cookies
    Vanilla Cupcakes
    Vanilla Cakes
    Blueberry Muffins
    Caramel Brownies
    and they can make pie

 I agree, I would like a variety of wedding cakes and birthday cakes though. The normal ones can be boring sometimes.

I downloaded Union Cove, and the consignment store there is an open market type area. (If you've downloaded the town, you'd know what I'm talking about.)
Thinking about this open market, I got to thinking about about flea markets, which made me think, "Our Sims should have flea markets!"

There could be a new type of community lot: flea market (of course). On this lot, there should be booths of different sizes. The more you pay, the bigger the booth and the more area you get to sell your items. And you can sell just about anything! Fruits and vegetables. Books. Furniture for the larger ones. Decorative ideas. Etc. (End of thinking capacity... HAHA!) Anyways... You can also set the prices for each individual item (or grouped items if they are something like fruits and vegetables or you could sell furniture sets or book sets or something).

Other sims around town could sell stuff too (even though they carry virtually nothing in their pockets. They could just pull stuff outta thin air or something). There could be haggling. It could take place once a week, like Saturdays.

What do you think? Interesting idea or what?

Oh and to add:

To keep people from "cheating," if you try and buy something and then sell it for more than it's original price, it won't sell. Consignment stores don't sell everything, and this is kind of a fun way to do that.
It's not something to make a profit on. It's something just to sell old stuff for more than it's depreciated value and make a little money.
For paintings and books though, it will be kind of a different story.

And to clear up what I was saying:
Let's say you buy something that originally costs $1,000. If you try and sell it for $2,000, it won't sell because it's more than it's original cost for the store. On the other hand, let's say it's depreciated value is $450. If you price it for $600, it will sell because it's less than it's original cost.

To add even further, while pricing items there should be a menu stating it's original cost and it's depreciated cost. Ya know, just to make things a little easier while pricing the items.

Who exactly are you pitching this to?

[purple_roses2110]

Um... I don't know? I was just throwing the idea around.

[Pam]

Ok, I just wasn't sure what you were trying to do.  We have an existing thread where everyone can share ideas for future Sims 3 improvement.  I'll merge this topic with it and it will all be together.

[amyrose]

Pam, I think you merged this with the wrong thread. This is the weird and funny posts thread, not the future improvement one.

[Pam]

Wow.  You are completely right!  I'm sorry about that.  Moving to correct thread now.

I know that the little kids can bake those things I just wished that older sims could make those pastries too. Like if  the child aged up then they would still know how to make those recipes.

Oh yeah, I wish they could too. I mean, they knew how to make them, but when they age older they practically forget how to make the pastries.

I think we should have more CAP options, I would love to see, CAB, (Create a Bird), CAR, (Create a Rabbit), and CAF, (Create a Fish!).

Now, that would be nice!
