Future Sim Improvement Ideas

[Seabody]

Seabody, this is one of the most hilarious contradiction jokes I've ever heard.

Uhm, thanks?

If there were lifestyle slots along with traits, then I think that heavy and light sleeper, technophobe, hydrophobe, and Eco friendly would be lifestyles and not traits.

There should be a hunter trait, so there could be some hunting going on in the game! Though if EA added that trait at all, it would probably be added with pets.... Oh, and maybe as the lifestyles y'all were talking about, there could be like a lavish lifestyle, sort of like the opposite of frugal, where the sim would get a negative moodlet from cheap things, and positive ones from more expensive ones.

Sorry if this is a little weird, but wouldn't it be awesome if your sims could climb trees?? (: and in pets, I wonder if a cat could get stuck in a tree??

Then if you have Ambitions your Firefighters can get the Opportunities to rescue Cats!

Firefighters do what now?
(Seriously, cats never get stuck up trees here.)

Same, I think it only happens in America but thats where all our Films come from and many TV Shows.

Sorry, folks.  This doesn't need to be a separate thread.  It fits in just fine on the Sims 3 improvement thread.  I'm going to merge them together.

[CarlosLordofTacos]

Pam, it was made a separate thread as to not overflow this thread, as traits were among the most common ideas and we didn't want to any other ideas to be given less value or get buried. Are you sure that merging was a good idea?

This idea spawns from a conversation I was having with a friend yesterday, but thinking in terms of lifestyles a Sim could have in addition to traits, I want to say cross-dresser.  But then all the clothes would have to be re-tooled to work with both genders, and that would be a lot of work.  And it would probably break the T rating of the game.  I guess it really would be one of those things that, like several traits, would really only have a use for role-play purposes and story writing.

[CarlosLordofTacos]

I don't see how cross dressing would break the T for Teen rating.

I'd really like cheerleading as an after school activity.
And since there's am Education career, children's teachers should show up in their relationship panels and vice versa.

[imaGleek]

I would love that! I do cheerleading in real life so I would love making my sims do it. It's like combining my two favouite things  

For traits you could have "high maintence" sims, which would basically work well with snobs but they would always be wishing for the newest a most best stuff, and insist on going to the spa/salon a lot.

I don't see why Cheerleading can't be an after school activity either. I'd really like to see inappropriate and/or snobby female Sims wear white to a wedding. Since white is taboo for a wedding, (it upstages the bride) in real life, it should be in Sims. Perfect for a bridezilla moodlet and a fiendishly delighted moodlet for the Evil Sims.
