Future Sim Improvement Ideas

[Sportsfan]

Thats a good idea because jogging around raises the athletic skill so why shouldnt biking too.

Cars should be able to breakdown so they have to be towed/repaired.  Would give another nice aspect to handy sims.  Also being able to give them nice upgrades, so a cheaper car can be made to run faster.

There should also be a mechanic added that makes male sims' facial hair grow.  And maybe hair in general.  Thatway, you could make more use of the sallon.  And add a new interaction to the mirror to shave.  heh, it could be another life skill to teach a teen sim.  I mean, Sims2 Castaway has your sims grow beards over time. 

And maybe bring back the aspect of your sims being able to /buy/ more clothes for their wardrobe.  I know it has been mentioned before, but its not as fun to have all the clothes available from the start, not counting uniforms from work.

Oooh! Oooh! I'd like more sliders for the size of arms/legs, as the default sliders we have have right now for the body are rather unrealistic. In real life, I have rather skinny arms (my wrist bone sticks out), and my legs are bigger. The sliders we have right now make every Sim the correct proportions.

One more thing to add to Folcon's post... We should have traffics. I mean, in real world cars don't go through each other and people (!). The end.

Just sitting here knitting away (school project) and another idea popped in my head. I'd love an expansion pack where you could run a restaurant and the family running the restaurant live upstairs in the apartment. The restaurant could have a register, and tables and things.

Just my 2 cents.

Ooh, I'd love to see that included in some city/town-themed EP!

When you queue up a load of actions for them to do and then you realise that they need to eat or something and have to cancel all the actions you've just done and re-action them.  I would love it if you could just drag an action from the queue and put it at the beginning!

That would be great. I hate when i do that and then I have to cancel it and then to redo the queue I have to keep going across town.

For building I would like to see different sizes for each style of curtain. It bugs me that to use the style of curtain I want for a room that I have to pick a window it will work with even tho it's not the size of window I wanted for the room.

If this is in the game already or if its in medieval please tell me but I want there to be an insomniac trait that makes it harder for some sims to sleep at night.

It is in Medieval. It is a Fatal Flaw - a negative trait, so to speak.

I was thinking that it was in there. Maybe they could introduce that to regular sims or make it so that sometimes sims have a harder time falling asleep depending on how happy they are when they go to bed.

Yeah well that`s pretty much light sleeper isn`t it though?

Oh yeah. I don't play with that trait. I usually just choose something that I think is more useful for the sim.

Thinking about it, I want some new recipes.  I mean, yes I can see the possibility of a few for pets involving making pet food for your pets, though I kind of doubt it.  It would be nice to bring some other stuff in, like new cakes and dessert items.  I think it would be cool if Sims could make fudge, and chocolate cake.  Maybe carrot cake too...though then they would need to add carrots as a new crop.  I think fresh baked bread and homemade pizza would be cool too.
