Future Sim Improvement Ideas

We get more accessories every Stuff Pack and Expansion Pack! ^^

If your going to make birds that interactive to the point where you could attract them to your lawn would it or would it not make sense to add a scarecrow factor to the gardening factor of the game.

There is a free downloadable scarecrow in one of the holiday packs for fall, if you'd like a item. The scarecrow idea is cool, though...Maybe you could create a scarecrow with a special kit, and depending on how scary it is or not, it keeps away birds and animals(Rabbits and raccoons could also be a problem with gardens.), or not.

I don't know if anybody had my idea/desire, but I really want university. I mean, badly. Improved than Sims 2 University, of course. Party all night, more persons, university without rabbit hole. The classroom may be rabbit hole, but the sim has to change the classroom everytime, you know what I mean

I'd like a university setting, very much. Maybe it could act like the vacation locations do, and you pick up actual skills from the schools, like logic and gardening and inventing. If you get a degree, you could also start in a higher position in some jobs, like on the level two or thee position, all the way to 7 or 8.

You should be able to set a Sims least favorite food. I mean, what are the chances of a Sim liking every single food in the game?

That is a really good idea, Simstar. We should also be able to set least favorite colors.

Least favorite music, least favorite topic to talk about, least favorite T.V show the possibilities are endless.

It would be wonderful to have Seasons and Pets into Sims 3.

I have a lot of hats! But so far one necklace (WA) and a handful of earings, couple of bracelets and that's it. I have all expansion packs except LN.

LN added several more 'necklaces' which are very nice and one or two bracelets I think.  I haven't checked the earrings as most of my Sims have longer hair and they don't wear them.

A few things that I would like to see;

More stuff for toddlers and children. More toys, more expressions and more interactions.

I think in CAS it should be more logical for example having 3 traits, 2 personality and 1 fear. So it could be, Bookworm, Genius, Sculptor; Snob, Grumpy; Fear of being poor.

I would like to see more development in the careers options, it is too easy to rise through the ranks of those jobs but still not be able to complete a LTW. I think it should be closer to the rabbit hole careers as far as skills do not count as job performance as such. I maxed out the fireman career simply by getting to level 10 handiness.

I would love to see a college/university expansion pack too

That's all for now

I wish there was a news channel on the tv that gave the news just as the newspaper does.  (Actually must go and check in game to see if this is actually already happening - I'm going to feel so silly if it will already do that.)

Because of my tendency to forget to check the newspaper daily, I also wish that the daily news could be put into some sort of dump file that I could check as and when I wanted.

[Ausette]

Yeah, that'd be really useful! Perhaps there could be a Births, Deaths and Marriages registry that you could check at the city hall, that'd stop me from missing the news.

I don't know if you guys remember the Sims stories series, but I think they should bring back story mode.
Also I don't know if someone already said this but...
Preschool would be optional but you would come back with some skills.
More "real" cars. I don't know if you guys know this but Ford and EA teamed up and they put a Ford Fiesta for free on the Sims Store.
Unrabbithole the book stores they modeled the inside so you can see it at a weird angle. It wouldn't take much for them to take away the cover. You could make a little hang out or reading zone in the corner. A lot of book stores have those now.
More Video Games. They have I think 4 or 5 games, correct me if I'm wrong, and EA has hundreds of licenses. They literally have exclusive rights to the NFL. I think they can manage to license some non EA games and systems like the wii or the Kinect. It would be cool to see some of those in the game.
Start looking at third party custom content for ideas. The best thing about not using Custom Content is that you can look at them and make them a legal addition to the game.

If you click on community when you're working on a public area, there are five cash registers, added with Ambitions and World Adventures. One is a book registry, and will sell local books like the bookstore, but it's in a Venue, instead of a rabbit hole location. You can also make a grocery store / cafe this way as well, and even moreso with the cafe by adding a large professional bar, added with Late Night. There will automatically be a NPC employed there when you stick in a cash register(A unemployed NPC, ones that generally live alone). There's also no limit to which registers you put in your store or how many, but I'd suggest avoiding using the Consignment store register with the other four registers, I had problems with it.

[Crimson]

Yeah consignment is glitched real bad but EA is going to release a huge patch for all of the ambitions and maybe some LN bug fixes which will openly improve the game a lot.

[TGBlank]

Nice joke.

I have an idea for a new profession that was inspired by the junkyard: Garbage Man.

I know, since Ambitions arrived and pasted, it's unlikely, but wouldn't it be an interesting profession? Starting early in the day, the Sim would drive in his large garbage truck to a certain amount of houses each day and empty the trash and/or recycle bin. He would then go to the junkyard and process the trash and unload it.

Sounds boring? Well, the perks would be that every once in awhile, you could find something, which is based on your level. At first, it might just be a seed or a rock, but at Level 10, it could be a broken-down flat-screen TV! Also, there would be a job every once in awhile where your Sim is requested to transfer some nuclear waste, or rotten food from a party. Also, you can chat with your co-workers and wear a neat steampunky (why did I even think of that) outfit.

Oh, and at Level 10, your Sim would get his personal garbage truck, similar to the fire truck.

I'm merging this with the ideas and suggestions thread.  I don't think it needs a topic of its own.
