What I'd like to see in The Sims Franchise
awtm10:
I would like to whoop my kids, they seem to always be bad as hell. If I were a parent and I saw my child playin in the toilet, id tap those hands. I'd like more child mischief. I think kids are much worse than this, I know my sisters and my niece are. Toddler interacions with one another, they can only fight over a bottle? WOW...
If the people could have more clutter, that they place on their own. The slobs would take off clothes and throw it anywhere, then the neater sim would clean up behind them or complain about it. (Great for Teens)
OH! and family connections could be better. It be great if they had a
"The Sims Geneology" dwell on the family connections more. I know I knew my great-grandfather. It's even possible that I could have known my Great-greats. That really upsets me. Grand Aunts and Uncles. Then they could have family gatherings like an actual Christmas Season(with santa again), Thanksgiving, more family time. OOh, I like this one, random family visits!! I know I experience these here in RL.
Maybe they could fuse those to make an EP. I know my whole family gets a piece of us when we're bad. Lol. And we're always being told what to do. Parents dont have enough participation in their childrens lives.
OOH! a great Idea! A family Reunion!!! And one of the objects could be.. a stand that you can gather everyone to for pictures, everyone who participated in the picture would get one. It would come in different sizes. They could have the one taking the picture direct it. Tell people to get closer, or "Put Junior in your lap!", or call certain last names.
I love family!! As you can tell, this EP would be for the Family aspiration. After all we have NL-Pleasure/ Romance, University-Education,
Business- Money, BV-?, Pets- Popularity, and Seasons is just there for realisms...
I did not plan to write this much!!
M-dogyo:
I hope I'm making sense....
What I would really like would be to choose last names when making sims. When I'm in CAS, all the sims have to have the same last name. Ok, I know this is easy to deal with, but it's a pain. My aunts and mom didn't take their husband's last name when they got married. In CAs, all the sims have the same last name, whether you like it or not. That is excluding University...
PageCaek:
I'd like the tween/middle age life stages that have been mentioned earlier, and I'd like young adult to be playable to even non-college sims.
Speaking of college/uni, I'd like to see a lot of changes there. Right now playing Uni feels like a chore and most Sims I have there are doomed to remaining unplayed. I know it's more "realistic" with semesters but I'd prefer just having "years" that are two or three days long instead of having to play one or two sims for 24 sim days (Which I might add is almost as long as the average adult sim lifespan).
It'd also be nice if it was that it ran for a certain set of days, allowing people to start as early as late teen or take up a course as an adult. I'd also quite like for them to have seperate colleges/universities/vocational schools. This could also tie in with having a reliance on grades or accumulated skill points/badges for entry.
Which would bring my next point of jobs being tied to degrees. For example, in order to get past a certain level in the Law career an adult created from scratch would have to either take a break from his job and return later or go to night school in order to get a law degree.
I could probably go on much longer. I want jobs to be integrated closer to Sims everyday lives. Like the wonderful idea posted earlier about sim jails and the crime career taking on a whole new level, I'd like to see that for all jobs. Education sims would come home from work acquainted with their students, or could become university professors that students would meet.
And with sim illnesses, both contageous and genetic, sims on the medical career track could treat patients or drive ambulances.
I mention illnesses because I have a particular dislike of elders, and if there were sim illnesses like heart conditions or other ailments that would develop at middle age I'd have an easier time finding a "natural" way to off my sims before they turn old. (Well, it's either that or they make prettier elders)
I didn't expect my post to go on for that long v_v And that's without my long list of "I agree with..."

Okay now that we know some of what is o going on with TS3 I am going to bump thus thread and talk more about what I would like to see. Most of this is an update from my first post on this thread.
-As far as the ability to change or go without shoes for the outfits, I think that is great but I'd like to see something more. How about a sensible relationship between underwear and regular clothes. TS2 has so many strapless dresses/tops but the women still wear bras with straps. Would it make more sense that if a sim wore a dress/top that's strapless and a bra that's not, then the strap would show? Call me crazy but that makes sense that it would happen. Of course I realy would not want to see a sim wearing a dress/top that's strapless and a bra that's not!:puke: I would, however, like to see that if a sim's undies feature some sort of hosiery (pantyhose, stocking, thigh highs, knee highs, for women and socks for men or women) and that if that sim's legs are exposed or the sim goes shoeless, then the hosiery (whatever type is applicable) would be seen. Sorry, it's just little details like that would make the clothing thing more enjoyable for me.
-Different types of degress for going to college/university. if a sim goes two years then he/she gets an Associates Degree; four years get them a Bachelor's Degree; Six years gets them a Master's; and Eight years gets the a Doctorate. With each level of degree the sims automatically get two levels in thier jobs (Associate's starts them a level two, Bachelor's starts them at level four, et cetera). That is, of course, IF "higher education" will be included in TS3
-I am told that there are more ages besides "Toddler", "Child", "Teen", "Young adult", "Adult" and "Elder". Included are "Pre-Teen"" and "Middle Age" stages as well. I hope that is true!
-Banking/Investing. A sim who "puts a little aside for a rainy day" ends up with a bigger pension upon retirement. Sims can also apply for loans but their bills are greater to reflect the expesne of loans.
-Have pets, hobbies (and all that goes with them), running businesses and weather included "from the get-go"!
-I see that growing veggies is already included and I am hoping that fishing is included too. However, I would like to see the growing of other crops and the raising of livestock happen as well. By the way, if you are offended by the raising of livestock for food then you can not include it in your game and have your sim be a vegatarian/vegan. That is, if raising livestock is included. I also hope that growing fruit is included. I would like to see that expanded to include having a vineyard to bottle..."nectar" (to coin a TS1 Makin' Magic phrase). Raising bees for honey would be cool too! Oh why not include herbs and spices! Have all this rasing of animals/plants be a cheaper alternative to buying food (albeit harder work).
- Have hunting trips as well as fishing trips. I don't mean show the killing of the animals but have the animal show up in the sim's inventory the way fish do in TS2 Seasons. The sim can either prepare it for a meal or "mount it" (again like the fish in TS2 Seasons). Perhaps the type of weapon option can open up for a sim as his/her as the badge increases (once more the way TS2 Seasons does it).
- If sim does one type of workout then that particular body part is toned/pumped. Example, just doing armcurls will give a sim impressive arms but the gut might still be on the big side. If the workout is nothing but cardio the the sim is just slimmed down but not made muscular.
That's all that I can think of right now! Thoughts, opinions, refinments, or addendums?
