Future Sim Improvement Ideas

[jeanamariex3]

I think for hair CAS options, I would like the option to add not just the same highlights, but the level of highlights, or if I want a different color streak or something. Like, you can make a Sims' highlights as subtle, or as bold, or you can also have the option to add a streak: Maybe you want a hot pink streak on the side, or jet black hair with bold platinum highlights. Or, you want subtle highlights to your Simmie's do.

Sorry if this sounds like a frivolous idea.

That's not a frivolous idea, that's a good idea.

That'sa great idea.

Thanks guys, I thought my CAS ideas would sound weird or frivolous. I would also like to see CAS set through relationship levels. Like, you can make your housemates enemies like the Goode and Bad Household from Twinbrook, or Best Friends/Best Friends Forever like Monika Morris and Madison VanWatson. Also, I want to see the ability to set the age bar of the Sim you're creating because it could give the individual player a challenge. Maybe the player likes having a family with a toddler but wants to make it so the toddler is a day away from being a child, and the parents have exactly 24 Sim-hours to teach the tot all their skills, or a young adult is just beginning young adulthood and refuses to move out of his parents house. The player could make them start as enemies. Or, you can set the two roommates as romantic interests.  Also, I think Sims should dislike certain foods too. The Sim can have a favorite food (they already do that anyway) and a food they don't like. The food they don't like can have a negative impact on the Sim.

I agree with the boolProp cheats from TS2.

The boolProp cheat from Sims 2 is basically the "testingcheatsenabled" cheat in Sims 3.  You just can't do as much with it.  But you can get close enough to most things to be able to do them yourself with minimal work.

Did Carl play Sims 2? I can't remember, I know our Moderators played Sims 2, and Pam is a Sim Newbie who hasn't played. The reason why I mentioned this is because I don't want anyone to think this is going against the forum rules. The Modder was a boolProp cheat, to those who didn't play the previous Sims games that set the relationship level between two Sims and could make vampires and celebrities, etc.

No worries:  I'll vouch for that for anyone who doesn't know about it.

Was that the freaky baby thing?

Yep. The modder was looking just like a doll.

A Vampire to turn or drink a Sim without them being in a friendship or relationship.

I like the idea of having a disliked food, jeanamarie. A disliked type of music would be cool too.
Sims can go to the spa for different treatments, so why don't they come out with painted nails? An option to choose fingernail/toenail colour would be nice I think and definitely easy enough to add to the game.

I agree with fortheloveofcake. I know some people have fingernails and toenails on their Sims from the official facebook page, but obviously, we can't trust the place they got the fingernails, since it's CC. 

I wish EA could come up with a way to give the individual Sim painted and lengthy fingernails and toenails.

Agreed all the way. We should get decorations too, skulls, butterflies and such.

Yes, we need nails! My simself is not complete without her CC nails, but I'd love it if I didn't actually have to use CC, just for some silly manicure.

Also, I'd like jackets. I know there are some options in the top section with some waistcoats and such, but that is just not enough for me. I wish I could make my sim go around in a mac while outdoors that she can perhaps take off when she gets indoors. We could have little pegs and things for the jackets to hang off of! And bags! I know the inventory is meant to be like a little bag, and you wouldn't carry a bag about inside the house and stuff but what about outdoors? My Lori has been screaming for a good handbag to walk around with, and all three of my teens demand bright orange clutch bags!

On Sims 2 for the old Xbox you could give them a T-Shirt, a Shirt and an Over Jacket, like Layers, so you could have a Bra for Layer 1, then a top for Layer 2 and a Jacket for Layer 3.

Yes, a little something like that is what I'd like to see.

This was my favorite feature of the Xbox game.  That, and the ability to adjust sleep length.  I think this would be great, especially if they ever introduce weather.  For outdoor wear, you could choose from a variety of sweaters, jackets, and coats to add to the existing outfit rather than the handful available in the Sims 2.  I didn't like most of them anyway and having an additional outdoor wear tab when choosing outfits would be pretty awesome.


Jeana - I would love to go to the spa and get a manicure where I can actually choose nail polish/nail art.  And having more highlight/lowlight options for hair would be great. I mean, my real hair has natural red and gold highlights and it would be cool to be able to recreate this in the Sims.
