Future Sim Improvement Ideas

There are apartments!

No I am talking about the apartment complexes that allowed you to have up to 4 families living in one building. What we have now is basically a home that other NPC's live in.

i have new ideas for LTW
1. A True Master Chef (Master Nectar making, Cooking, and Mixology Skills)
2. Paranormal Expert (Restore and Revive 3 Ghosts (With Ambrosia)

Good ideas! I would say add the master the paranormal career field to make it more of a challenge?

I like the maxing every skill, but are you talking supermaxing them as well? That would make it very hard with how the guitar challenge is! Two out of three might work lol those two are a piece of cake!

I believe you're referring to the "25k in tips" and "learn all songs" challenges? They aren't that easy, for ONE reason: my main sim, who I've had since the first day I played TS3, and is unremakeable, had the music sheets for the guitar skill placed on a bookshelf. When you learned the song after it was placed in a bookshelf, the song wouldn't register in the "known songs" log, and you can't learn them again. It's an old bug, got fixed some time ago, but it's too much work to make the sim again.

I think it is the Guitar Star challenge that is the hardest due to it's glitchiness. If you find the 25k one hard just ask Metro ho wmuch he makes from playing for tips and I suspect it to be a lot more than that.

What is supermaxing anyway?

[Naga]

I guess it's completing every challenge for every skill on a single sim.

I'm sorry Naga yes I was talking about the learn all songs and make $25,000 being easy. I never had a problem like that, sorry. Yea the guitar star is REALLY hard, I've only completed it once and that was with a sim that only had guitar skill and I kept him locked in the basement unless he was playing for tips and it still took 9 or 10 weeks! For getting tips, I agree check out Metros guide to doing this, it is amazing! Supermaxing is what it's called in the Dynasty's which refers to getting to level 10 and completing all the skill related things. For example, supermaxing gardening would require getting to level 10 PLUS planting 63% unique plants (with LN installed not sure how many without it), harvesting 75 perfect plants and harvesting 650 plants.  Penny Halliwell just supermaxed gardening which is how I know lol.

I suddenly remembered today (after 18 hours of playing, so my mind was in super sim mode) how teens in Sims 2 used to get spots! I really liked that, since they're really much like YAs except the curfew and school. A cute detail, maybe? But I wouldn't want them to get mood swings or hormonal rages. o.O

I must say, I love Sims 3, but the one thing I really, really miss? WEATHER!!!

I loved the snow (and the Penguins!) and the possibility of snow days, etc. Plus the category of outerwear was great fun too. I had the cutest raincoat.

I think it would be a great expansion if they did it with a "Green" theme - i.e. not just recycling, but more of a self-sufficiency thing, with more farming, animals, solar panels, composting, green houses, etc. Sort of like they did with Seasons, but more so. Soon, EA, right??

[Crimson]

well the have the new outdoor living stuff pack coming out. Which means they are probably not going to make an outdoor expansion yet. I want to see some new disasters and maybe the ability to turn on house destroying disasters like tornado or volcano.

[Naga]

Destroying houses would be a complete turn off for people who play mostly for the building stuff, for people who hadn't saved the lot to the library, and for people who had unique/rare items in the house.

Either way, one feature I'd love to see is dragons, like the pet dragon we had in TS1: Makin' Magic. I really loved those little pests. If they don't make it into TS3 but appear in The Sims Medieval, then I'll be forced to buy TSM.

Tornadoes and Volcanoes?? No way! Meteors are bad enough!
