Future Sim Improvement Ideas

[jeanamariex3]

I agree with Thomas. Also, too, I think EA needs to give us some sort of free SimPoints, if you download a faulty item, that costs SimPoints. I realized this after downloading the Flute Forward, which cost me 75 Sim Points. Now, that was stupid on my part for clicking "Buy Now" impulsively, so I won't yell or complain about EA, for something I did without thinking. I do think, they need to give us an option to "Report this Item" like you would in the exchange, and provide feedback, and options, as to what the problem is. When you report that item, they should provide you with an apology letter, 1,000 Sim Points, or Free Sim items that are properly meshed, and remove or fix the item that was improperly meshed. If EA lets us provide this type of feedback, that means less complaining and they will know exactly what is faulty, and what needs to be fixed. I'm sure if they have this type of deal added to the Sims 3 Game, to people that play it, EA can fix these problems, without the whining and hate speech, and they will get responses in a friendly manner.

Yes, but EA doesn't know us. Some people might then sit at their computer for 5 hours reporting random items and try to get free points. Not any of us, of course. But there might be those people sitting there, reporting a perfectly good outfit...

It would be neat if Sims had straight hair for everyday, and curly hair for swimming, implying that they straighten their hair.

You can set hairstyles for different outfits, just click on the Padlock in the top corner of the hairstyles menu in CAS. Set an outfit, go back to hair, set a hairstyle, rinse and repeat.

I knew that, I have done it on several occasions. What I meant by "setting curly hair for swimming," I meant if EA added various curly hair styles, in a future expansion pack, along with a new town, the premade townies of that new town have those super curly hairdos with their swimwear via padlock, implying the Sim straightens his/her hair on a regular basis, kind of like how some female Sims (Betty Newbie's mom, Skip Broke's Aunt, Kaylynn's aunt Zelda), have dark roots and eyebrows, as an indication that their not natural blondes. I meant it would be done with the padlock.

I also think there needs to be a wider variety of baby furniture. I'm happier than ever with the Strollers, but I do feel EA needs to have baby swings, little walkers, bouncers, etc. Maybe they can serve as an aide into helping the toddler walk, and even build skills. I also think that they need to give us sinks/basins to give our babies and toddlers a bath. I really miss those.

I would like to be able to actually watch the games your sim goes to st the stadium. Also they could have parties just to play a sport together (using the football or baseball). They could make a whole sports expansion pack. I know I would buy that.

I agree. I would also like to see them go out to eat at the Bistro and the Diner again, like they did in Sims 2. Also, I think Sims should Swim in the ocean, and Childish Teens and Adults should build Sandcastles at the beach.

I think Sims should text other Sims too. Perhaps break up with their partners through texts like in real life. *Laughs* 

[MoMoll]

I agree about the Bistro in Sims2. Dating was more fun with holding hands at the table and toasting each other with champagne and then having a slow dance afterwards. They also could add the champagne for wedding toasts.

[VampirePlasma]

There is champange after the toast but that's in the barcholet/barcholette and in weddings after they married, it comes with GEN.
I think they could add a water slide that leads to the pool. Sorry if it had been mention before.

I kind of want my Sims to have kiddie pools too. For the children and toddlers. Kiddie pools they can splash around in. More nursery furniture options would be really nice, including a toddler bed, toddlers can crawl in and out of themselves.

Also, I think Sims should have more bath toys. They need to also play more games than just tag. They need a play option again for the kids. Friendly...Funny...Mean...Special...Play...

Under the Play Options:

Tag...Cops and Robbers...Miss Mary Mack...Red Light Green Light...Jump Rope...

[Seabody]

@Jeanamariex3
I've never heard of Miss Mary Mack or Red Light Green Light. I'd imagine many non-US players have not either. EA knows that the market does not lie completely in America, so they would at least put in games people know - Soccer, Tennis, Basketball, sports in general. Heck, even a hand game!

I think kiddie pools would be super cute.  And I miss changing tables, just because they made a nursery look more complete.

If I remember correctly,  in the Sims 2, the kids could play cops and robbers, Mary Mack, and tag.  More outside group activities would be great, too, like basketball, volleyball,  pool games, etc.  I also miss the kids hugging their parents when they came back from work.

I'd love a temper tantrum option for the kids. I know they added mood swings for teens, but temper tantrums would be funny if they could stomp their feet, kick the wall, and pout.
And I really really want curly hair, or a curly hair slider. I'd love to make a simself, but that can't happen without curly hair.
And a makeup remover. I mean, since when do people sleep with makeup on?!?
I would also like acne brought back from the Sims 2.

Things from Sims 1 that I'd like to see again (some have probably already been mentioned):

Charades, the costume trunk, the crystal ball, Aladdin's lamp, playing footsie in the booth at a restaurant, and being serenaded by the waiter.

From Sims 2:

slow dancing (I know this has been mentioned before, but I thought I'd put in another vote for it), kids and teens sliding down stair railings, custom paintings (being able to have Sims paint pictures from your jpeg files).

[Asleep]

Aren't costume chests in Generations?

From Sims 2:

kids and teens sliding down stair railings

They can slide down railings on the spiral stairs.

Yes they are. I love my little girl being able to dress like a princess!
