Future Sim Improvement Ideas

[Sportsfan]

Did seasons only add seasons? I never played sims 2. I think that ea could add seasons in with a patch or combined with something else in an EP.

[Schipperke]

Am I the only one here who hated Seasons?

No, Carlos, definitely not.  I was really excited about the idea of it.  Then I got it.  Weeds growing in the snow, lightning almost every day, it was just excessive in my opinion.  I wound up buying the reward object you could get and setting it for clear, sunny weather every day.

As for new things for Sims 3, while I'd probably like almost any new features, my biggest wish is for all the bugs to finally be fixed so the existing features would work properly.  (if a note of frustration is showing here, it's because I've just restarted the Random Wishmasters for the third time after both previous attempts became unplayable)

I'd like to see more sports activities like boxing, fencing, maybe some gymnastics? I'd love to see a mini-game within the game where sims can group up with other sims to play team sports. Goths vs. Landgraabs in a game of soccer or American football. Maybe criquet?

I'd love to see llama ranching. Make spittle-dodging a hidden sim trait.

Scuba diving. It would be great to see robot fish and tragic clown fish in their natural habitats.

Treasure hunting.

More World Adventures destinations. We could have a South American destination, maybe Peru or Ecuador where sims can learn llama ranching. A Congo destination for a "deep, dark Africa" adventure and photography safari.

I miss the poker table from the sims 2. Ironic really, considering as hard as I try, I just can`t learn how to play it in real life.

More World Adventures destinations.

I can say that that is not going to happen. WA has been out for a year now (or over a year? I got it for Christmas in 2009, I think. So 1.5 years). EA barely release fixes for it, to my knowledge. No point expanding an expansion that's that old.

[Asleep]

Darn. I wanted my sims to go to Japan.

Darn. I wanted my sims to go to Japan.

Next to impossible as Seabody said, but you can always pretend that Shang Simla is Japan. Lol.

How about skateboarding? We could have some basic pieces to arrange into a skate area and we could have competitions for money. Doesn`t have to be anything complex, perhaps a skill that they can do rather independently with micromanaging optional. Who else would think that this would be a great skill?

You know what I want to see? I want my children to be meaner. Even my mean spirited children are too nice. I want my mean children to be able to beat up, argue, slap, insult and mock their peers, and even bully once in a while. Before you all get on me about "anti bullying" I would like to remind you, this would be funny, minor type of things, like "noogies", or torment interactions in Sims 2, and that this is T for Teens, not E for Everyone. I think children who are mean spirited, evil, grumpy, snobby, hot headed, inappropriate, and were born with star quality, need to have the unlocked interaction to back talk their parents.

I want an interaction "Bullying..." that would include these interactions: "Push" "Shove" "Beat Up" "Pull Hair" "Torment" "Noogies" plus the same Generations interactions on the tree house, particularly aimed to the mean spirited, grumpy, and evil kids.

I could care less about weather. Your sims freeze if you forget to dress them properly, the rain puts a bummer on playing music in the park, and raking leaves is a drag!

[jeanamariex3]

Actually, I liked seasons, somewhat, but It's one of those EP's up there with Ambitions. It's in the middle: I liked seasons, but it wasn't up there with Nightlife or Pets, so I could just as much do without it.

University on the other hand for future Sim Improvement, is something I hope they don't rehash. It was a dud EP in my eyes, kind of like WA is now. I did play a bit, and I don't really like WA enough to want to own it. Am I the only one who didn't like University or WA? If those ever get rehashed for future Sim series, no thanks for me.

[CarlosLordofTacos]

I love WA, but yeah, University was awful.

How about skateboarding? We could have some basic pieces to arrange into a skate area and we could have competitions for money. Doesn`t have to be anything complex, perhaps a skill that they can do rather independently with micromanaging optional. Who else would think that this would be a great skill?

I thought of that! That would be awesome.

I think we should get a bossy trait. We should also be able to make the Sims work in their cars, increase the speed and ect.

[jessiethedog]

I liked University!

I'd like it if children and teens could do their homework on the bus-if only for added reality. I'm not sure if the game could come with that though, or if the journey's long enough. Perhaps in Riverview.

I know this has been discussed many times before, but hair length sliders. I want one particularly for Renee Jones-Brown's hair:



Because my hair is exactly parted the exact same spot, and is curly just like this hairstyle, but the only problem between my real life hair and this hair, is that my real life hair falls about mid/long, to my shoulders, as it grows like a weed.

I'm positive, they may get one in the next patch for Pets, since Pets involves hair sliders though, but this is not something I read, this is just my own personal predictions.

@Schipperke: Do what I do. Take a Sims 3 break for a while, and go back TS2, or another Sims Game. That's what I'm doing, until I install LN, explore the features, then take another break until town life or pets, whichever one you're more excited for. I would recommend Pets, since that will usually require a game update.

Also, I would love more food options. I know they come with WA, but if Sims 3 could fix it so we have more food options and quick meals, PB&J, Hot Dogs, and Lunch Meat Sandwiches should be meals even children can prepare. I want more dessert varieties for Sims 3 too.

What I really find really unrealistic: Vegetarian Sims who cheat, get sick ALL the time after eating meat. No real life veggie gets sick right away after not eating meat. I cheat on the holidays, (Thanksgiving and Christmas), or at huge events where I can't turn down the meat, and I'm okay. I know some get sick, some don't, I'm one of the ones who's been doing it (officially) since 09-10, and I have yet to get sick from cheating. I don't like how Holly Alto can't take from the meat tray, and get sick all the time. It's a life choice, and even Rachel Berry (who's a vegan), was able to eat a pepperoni pizza, without getting sick.
