Future Sim Improvement Ideas

[MarianT]

These were chests for adults and children and had togas, cowboy and cowgirl suits, cheerleader outfits, superheroes and some others. Glad to hear about the railings.

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* 

Beach swimming would be so cool! I miss that from the sims 2.

Text break ups would be great, especially with the new "Reputation"!

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.

I agree with you. I would like to have options with curly hair and it's frustrating to only be able to have sims with straight hair.

I would also like acne brought back from the Sims 2.

Besides for realism, why would you want your sim to have acne? If they had it, it should be a negative moodlet.

If you have Ambitions and register it on thesims3.com, you can download some locked items. Among these is curly hair.

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!

From wikipedia:

Mary Mack is a clapping game played by children in English-speaking countries. It is known in various parts of the United States and in New Zealand and has been called "the most common hand-clapping game in the English-speaking world".
In the game, two children stand or sit opposite to each other, and clap hands in tune to a rhyming song.
The same song is also used as a jumprope rhyme, although rarely so according to one source.

Red light/Green light (sometimes abbreviated as RLGL) is a game played mostly by children. The "it" person stands at one end of the playing field, with the rest of the players at the other end. "It" turns their back to the others and calls out "Green light!" The players then run as fast as they can towards "it". At any time, "it" can face the players, calling out "Red light", and the others must freeze in place. If anyone fails to stop, they are out or must return to the starting line. Other variations include calling out "Yellow light" as a diversion, or where they must walk instead of run to "it". Calling Yellow Light has no consequence. The first player to reach the person who is "it" wins and becomes "it" for the next round. In certain regions this game may be known as "sneak up on granny"; in this version the person who is "it" is the "granny", and does not call out "red light" or "green light". Some variants include blue and purple lights however these are very rare.

Ah, now I see. Red Light Green Light is pretty much "What's the time, Mr. Wolf" that I used to play at Kindergarten. Mary Mack is also well known, but not by that name. I don't know what it's known as, but it is NOT Mary Mack.

I don't know what we call it I just know one of the songs, Lol. "A sailor went to sea sea sea, to see what he could see" or something like that. 

I think that they should make more Postures, if a Sim was down they could slouch and lie around on the furniture, if they were really proud of their Life Time Want being completed they could put their head high, Stuff like that. I still want my Hair Lengh Adjuster! There are some Hair Styles that I think would look better at different lengths to what they are by EA.

I know this has been brought up before, but Height! My Simself is teenaged (because I am), but I'm about 6". I want him to be smaller than, but almost as tall as a YA.

[jeanamariex3]

In my opinion (I'm a young adult too, and exactly one foot shorter than you Seabody), Sim me is too tall, and should be (slightly) shorter than the teen Sims, because I'm 5' and am shorter than most real life teens. So I'm with you on the height adjuster.

What I would really love to see back on Sims 3 is children, grown-up childish, inapproprate and party animal Sims jumping on the couches and the beds.

I think it would be cool if you can aim the slides to the pool, and have Sims use the slides to slide down the swimming pool (Sims of all ages). Also, I don't understand why childish teens and adults can't build sandcastles in the sand, or play on the playground. I'm a real life young adult with the childish trait and I still enjoy playing on the playground.

It doesn't have to be a waterside necessary, just a normal slide (the player) can aim at the pool using build/buy mode, and the Sims can slide down it. Also, I'd like to see Sims (mostly a interaction enjoyed, by the children, teens, and adults that are either/or childish, inappropriate and party animals), "CANNON BALL" into the pool. Maybe they can yell "CANNON BALL" in Simlish, splash the people around them, and possibly offend the high maintenance (snobs), freak out and scare the hydrophobes, cowards and neurotic Sims, and have the children and teens of all traits, as well as the YA-Elders that are childish, inappropriate, and/or party animals, get a happy moodlet, and fiendishly delight the mean spirited and evil Sims. Snobs can get some sort of moodlet where they're irritated or their hair gets all messed up from the moodlet.

Also with Swimming, I'd like to see a "too cold" moodlet when they come out of the water.

I agree Jeanamarie.

[Asleep]

Me too.
I'm also pretty tall, and I want my simself to be as accurate as possible.

@jeanamarie - I really like the idea of Sims being able to cannon ball into the pool. I'd really love a diving board, so they could do different types of dives and such.  If they could do something along the lines of "play catch" but with a beach ball in the pool, that would be nifty.


Something I would like to see, though, is a new law/legal career.  I would love to have a Sim family of lawyers and doctors. It could go, for example, something along the lines of court bailiff to paralegal/assistant through various lawyers (civil, criminal, etc) and judges and end with Supreme Court Judge.  I just want lawyers, however I can get them. 

Speaking of careers, I would also like to see more part-time jobs.  Waiters, school cafeteria aids, receptionists at various jobs, etc. Just more variety since I often like to play with Sims who have only part-time jobs.

Oh yeah. I didn't think of that. That would be a really fun thing. I would love inner tubes for my Sims to lounge on in the pool as well.

The diving board could be a hidden skill, maybe like trampolining.

[jeanamariex3]

I think every Sim should be entilted to their normal amount of traits, plus one hidden. In CAS: I think we need to create a household with one vampire, imaginary friend, simbot, someone that makes no messes etc.

Babysitting: Shouldn't just be for NPC's. It should be a profession exclusively for teens. They can have the perks of staying out after curfew, and have some sort of pass.

What I really want: A body shop. It would be neat for people to create their own (properly meshed) non third party hair, clothes and makeup, and be able to upload it onto the exchange, and even our swap shop.
