Sim Ideas?
AxelVal:
My mom and I were talking about this for a while, and she thought up different levels to University.
Like in real life, you can play for an extra semester or something and get a higher level degree. And, going with that idea, if you don't go to university at all you can only move so far up the career track.
So, let's say you don't go to college - you can only go up to the fifth or sixth level in a job.
Go to college for four semesters - up to seventh or eight level
Extra semester in college - highest level in job.
That and - the ability for teens and children to call in sick to school when they're actually sick (and teens can call in and pretend to be sick)
And the ability to drop-out with out hacks. And if you do drop out you can only go up three or four levels in a career.
EDIT: Instead of kids calling in sick, parents or older siblings can call in for them.
AxelVal:
Yet another idea.
What if, while creating sims, you had the option to choose your Sim's nationality. That would divide up the facial structures you could use to create your sim - have facial features that pertain to that nationality - or there could be a 'mixed' option for Sims whose 'parents', whether actually created or not, are two or more nationalities, which would open up all the faces.
And, the nationality could effect other things such as hair colour, eye colour, facial hair (I know I've hardly ever seen a full Asian-blooded person with the Santa Clause-beard Maxis has) and such.
EDIT: And I know people love this on Sims enough to make skintones with it, so why not add it to this post.
Body hair. Arm, leg, chest, whatever. And then, going along with my idea of facial hair growing, while in the shower you have the bulls-eye option to 'Shave' - '(whichever part of their body)'. And it can even be a turn-on or turn-off.

Well i would love if my sims could ride a bike...i would also like ( especially for my teens) to be capable to do skateboard and rollers...that idea with the carry bag is really smart !!!! that is all for now !

Alright, I'm starting to think I should go work for Maxis/Ea right now. *laugh*
I've had this idea for a whie, but just now refined it so it would work.
When your sim wakes up, the Plan Outfit box comes up and you can plan their everyday outfit. Once you hit the checkmark another box appears asking "Change now?" and you click yes or no, with the obvious reaction of either dressing or not. To make this a bit easier, if your sim only has one outfit the Plan-box won't open, but the Change-question will. And, taking it a step further, take out the work and workout outfits from Everyday.
Then, when your sim is taking a shower/bath/soak in the hotub/whatever, when they get out a box will pop open asking if they want to change clothes. If you select yes then another bx pops open with the different categories (Everyday, PJs, Undies, etc. excluding Work) Then your sim change into whatever is set for that category.
If your sim was just in the hottub and you click no they will stay in their swim suits.
If they were in the bath or shower a robe or towel will be put on depending on a dialogue box that asks which you want to put on.

I had thought about this when university came out. One thing I dislike in university, when your sims work hard for their skills and study for the high grade point average, I wish they could come back to the neighborhood with more than $20000 simoleons. Also, when they get their jobs, they are only 2 levels away from the top, which means it takes longer to get some money for a larger home. I really depend on the bonuses for saving toward a larger home. That's why I use Monique's bank computer, they move into a small building that's like a saving and loan, borrow money with the computer, and move out ( I use the stay objects shrub from Inge Jones), to a pretty decent home. Oh yeah they have debt also!! I wish that was in the game without hacks. Done griping now, :-P!:smt120
