Future Sim Improvement Ideas

[Tommyo3000]

I've been bullied in real life and it definitely wouldn't be fun to add it to Sims Jeana. The food truck is a truck in Bridgeport that comes by sometimes that you can get some hot dogs and other food from, Sprotsfan.

The food truck is a Late Night attribute available only in "Late Night Cities", aka Bridgeport only, as of now.

Realism can be cruel sometimes, we have to admit it. That's not the problem now. I think Jeana only meant adding a few interactions to the "Mean" pie-menu for children. There is nothing wrong with that, as far as it's in the borders of T for Teen.

I agree with Amber, on the more facial features for kids. And teenagers look too much like Young Adults. I doubt I'll look the same seven years later.

The one and only thing I patiently wish for is gradual aging. Aging by Sim days, not by life stages. I know that this probably won't be added to TS3 and my hopes are way too little for TS4. But at least in The Sims 5, please, EA, make birthday cakes just simple decorations you can use every day (the Sim equivalent of a real life year) and age up Sims by days, height, and some facial changes.

We'd need supercomputersfor that to happen, because they would be changing every 24 real life seconds. By the time sims 5 is out, we would be using our iPad 10 to play sims, and that's not a supercomputer.

[TheChronicR]

By the time Sims 5 is out, the computers will be capable to do such a task given to them. Obviously you won't be able to do this on iPads. And obviously Sims 5's PC requirements will be higher than Sims 3's.

I think this has been said before but I'll just say it again. We just need to be able to swim on the Beach! I mean what Beach do you go to that you cannot swim! And a life-guard will be nice too. I like the Ice cream truck idea but maybe the Brain Freeze could be -15. -50 is when my Sim's on fire. Oh! If they add the swimming, we need to be able to surf too! It is awesome! I agree with Seabody about the dance. It cracks me up to see my Sim dancing like pop to classical music. It just doesn't go. Oh I remember the shopping in TS2. I liked it, going to the store whenever the screen felt like loading, and trying them on.

Having different choices of cell phone would be nice. It`s weird that everyone has the exact same model, from the impoverished Alvi family to the Landgraabs!

[Asleep]

I agree!
And if you had Generations, parents could take away cell phones as punishment!

[fortheloveofcake]

A slider to decide how tall or short your sim is! Every adult and young adult, male and female, are all the exact same height.  Females don't even get taller with skyscraper heels on!
It could add a lot i think especially for stories, such as the short chubby nerdy guy falling in love with the tall thin supermodel type.

About bullying:

I think it should be added. Seriously, it's just a game. You can choose to do it, you can choose not to. It's not the same like in real-life, and people need to understand this. And anyway, I'm fairly sure only Mean Spirited and/or Evil Sims would do this, because really, being an Evil and Mean Spirited doesn't mean ANYTHING significant in the Sims. And that's annoying.

[VampirePlasma]

Still going against bullying.

Anywas I want to be able to go camping. Like right now what I am doing is getting some tents from Buydebug  and camping in my Sims' yard xD.
But I mean like actually make fires with sticks and stuff not the firepit.

Yes, Chronic, that's exactly what I meant. More "Mean" interactions under the "Mean..." menu. I feel like the mean-spirited are too nice. Plus, it would simply be an option more for the mean-spirited, evil, grumpy, snobby, inappropriate, and rebellious school yard kiddies, not the ones that are particularly nice. I do remember making Lucy Burb torment Alexander Goth back in the day. It was simply her way of saying "I like you."

That's the whole point I was getting at. Although, you are aware Evil Sims aren't literally evil, or cruel, which is why they can still be friendly. If Evil was a literal trait, you realize the game would be M for Mature right? I meant that could be a for the Snobs, Rebellious, Evil, Grumpy, and Mean Spirited kiddies, perhaps inappropriate. It kind of drives me nuts that the Inappropriate Sims don't have the options to make fun of the nearest Sims when their children. I took a child, gave him the traits Evil, Mean Spirited, and Inappropriate and he was still this perfect little angel.

I think children just don't have enough mean interactions. I mean remember the kid from the movie Problem Child? He was mean spirited and he did all kinds of not very nice things. I want my Sims 3 Children to act more like Junior from Problem Child. Plain and simple. I want kids to have the same amount of unlocked "Mean" interactions under the "Mean..." pie menu, and pull the same amount of pranks to their peers as their older teenaged siblings do.

I took the Evil trait out of context, sorry. But the Mean Spirited should be able to bully, because just like you said, it doesn't seem right.

[jeanamariex3]

That's okay, It's normal. Evil Sims would bully, along with the inappropriate Sims, but they won't be as cruel, and will only torment their peers that cross them the wrong way, same with the grumpy. If a Sim crosses an evil, rebellious, grumpy, or inappropriate Sim the wrong way, then they will start bullying, unless the inappropriate Sims is also friendly.

[CarlosLordofTacos]

I think Generations` pranks makes kids bad enough. Also I think evil children are hilarious.

"One day I`m going to take over the world, mummy, and I`m throwing you and daddy in the basement forever and ever."

"Okay sweetie, you just run off to your sinister lair in the basement while me and your father talk about what a perfect little angel you are. Don`t worry, we`ll figure out that you have the evil trait eventually."

[jeanamariex3]

I think it would be cute if children and older could have crushes. Maybe in Sims 3 they could take it to the next level and add childhood crushes. Along with these childhood crushes, if a male and a female child are best friends at 100%, their older sibling, or maybe their parents, could have a question in the pie menu: "Ask if *Name of Sim* is your Boyfriend/Girlfriend..." or even funnier "Are you dating X?" particularly an interaction for Michael Bachelor. I'd like to see celebrity crushes for teens and older too. The teen doesn't have to be the same age as the celebrity their crushing on, as long as that celebrity is unaware of the teen's existence. No, guys, this isn't cradle robbing, this is simply recreating a child or preteens crush on Justin Bieber, Robert Pattinson, or Taylor Lautner.
