I would quite like car seats for toddlers and babies so that my Sim couple could take all the kids to the park at once.Also I want a people carrier car,you know the kind that can fit a large family in. I know that the limo fits a large amount of people in but that isn't buyable right away.

Unless I'm missing something (and I have played Rollercoaster Tycoon recently), you couldn't.

@Fez and @Chuckles:

Sorry, but it's actually not. I asked Metro about that way back in October and he said no because of Sim Shutdown (turning off free will).

That's what I thought. Oh well, I hadn't used it yet anyway.

Driving the car yourself would be nice. The hospital could get new functions as well, for the gamers who are less experienced with driving. ;)

I like :) They could call the pack that comes with all those injuries (and sicknesses as previously suggested) Merry Maladies.

I feel that there should be negative traits to go along with the "likes animals/cats/dogs/horses" traits from Pets. Plenty of people in real life do not like a certain type of animal or animals in general. If Sims can Dislike Children, they should definitely be able to dislike animals. They could get a negative moodlet when around animals or in a home with animals.


When you live, live with your soul, not with your time.
When you love, love with your heart, not with your mind.
When you want to be something, the world can't define, open up your eyes.

Maybe Sims could have negative moodlets, for shedding from their pets, after a cat or small dog sits on their lap. They can get annoyed with fur all over their clothes.

That would be pretty cool.  In all,  I wish that sims could get more moodlets too, like a moodlet called "My own book" every time they finished a book that got a good review, and a bad moodlet for bad reviews.  Oh, and I also wish that toddlers could do more.  I don't know what I wish they could do, I just wish they could do, just, more.  I mean, I wish they could get into more trouble, like pulling the dogs tail, or giving that little bear that they play with a "haircut".

I love this idea!!! and totally agree that if theres an animal lover trait there should have been a 'dislikes animals' one as well, you could even have an interaction to 'complain about animals'

This is why I hate babies and toddlers with a purple passion right now! Back in the Sims 2 days, babies and toddlers had so much to do, and to do with them: Teaching nursery rhymes, bathing them in the tub and sink, changing them with the changing table, asking for stuff, playing in puddles and toilets, dance along to the music, etc. Now babies and toddlers are so limited they're annoying, and unenjoyable. Sorry EA, but TS3 took the fun out of the younger age groups.

It would be cute to have some interactions between toddlers and infants and their older siblings.  At least when the baby is being held by a teen or older, or when the baby is in the crib, there should be some kind of interaction for children with them.

That, would be, amazing.  It's stuff like this that makes me wish I had known that the sims existed when sims 2 came out.  If they ever make a seasons expansion pack(which I'm sure they will, they would make millions off it!)  I hope that an expansion called toddler life or something like that is coming out next.  I'm not trying to rant, but one thing I find annoying about toddlers is the lack of hairstyles.  I mean, they could at least have the option to have a cute ribbon in their hair if they have the longet hairstyle right?  But there are some things that I think are really cute about thet toddlers, like when a young adult plays the music thing with them(I say music thing because I don't want to take the risk of mispelling um, well I'm still not taking the risk and you know what it's called)  And I also like it when they get to go on a spring rider, that's about it, oh, and of course the imaginary friend toys, so cute, but annoying later when t comes to life.  I also wish that toddlers could get into more trouble, like climbing on to a chair somehow and getting on the table.   It would also be cool if they could include a coloring book, and all sims aged toddler to child could color pictures, and then you could hange them on the wall, and bam!new way to increase toddler art skill. :)

Funny that you mention that now. My daughter just came out of her room a short while ago absolutely cracking up because her toddler was playing in the toilet! (She's got my old TS2 games - theres no way I'd trust her with my TS3 ones!)

That sounds like something that would be included in a seasons expansion pack...  I hope something like that is happening at least by 2014!  And maybe sims could sweat if it was a hot day and they were in a room without a fan or air conditioner.  And maybe during the winter they could do something funny like shiver if they were in a room without a heater, and would have the option to put a coat on at the dresser.  But there's something I've been worried about that could happen if they ever make a seasons expansion pack... What happens if you have a legacy and a snowstorm comes when you're just starting out?  That kind of makes me not want that expansion pack to come out.

That made things difficult, but not impossible, Coocoo girl, in Sims 2.  Hopefully it would be the same way for Sims 3.  There are so many places in town where your sim can eat, shower and sleep for free that I would think it would be okay.  If we do see weather someday, I really hope there's the simple option to just not have weather in a particular town.
