Hello dear SimGuru! I really love The Sims series and have been a fan for 21 years. Please forgive me for my English, I am from Russia :)
I am very happy that you gave us the opportunity to write our thoughts on our favorite game to make it better!
I want to write my ideas (dreams :)) and if there is such an opportunity to correct / add in the future. Perhaps my thoughts coincide with other players, or maybe you will like them :)
So CAS and gameplay:
-When creating a character, the ability to choose an initial budget. The ability to create a very rich or very poor sim without using cheat codes
- Personality traits, there really should be more of them in order to better reveal the personality. There is a lack of personal preference, chemistry.
-Memories. This is just my dream. I've been waiting for my sims to have memory for a very long time.
-the ability to create a very serious, pretentious character
-the ability to customize the orientation of the sim (and npc too)
-the ability to create a monogamous person who will be faithful to his soul mate all his life
-Family affection. Ability to send children to grandparents on weekends. So that they children would call their parents and tell them something about their vacation.
- A more realistic relationship with adultery. The ability to confess to adultery and ask for forgiveness.
-autonomy for non-game sims. These Sims don't participate in our main game anyway.
-Banks. Possibility to issue credit
-Hotels
-Site dating
-Funeral and cemetery. Grave with a portrait. Possibly a monument in the form of a statue if the sim was a celebrity.
-variety of lots: cinema, cemetery. The ability to create combined lots (for example, a cafe on the first floor and a living area on the second), photo studios where you can take ready-made family pictures for memory
-It seems to me that npc should come to work at the kiosks on schedule, regardless of the type of lot.
-various animations: playing the guitar while sitting, slow dance, watching TV while sitting on the floor, lying on the couch. Animation of the entrance to the elevator. The fainting animation does not have to be the same animation as the dream.
-Singing must match the Sim's voice. I have a sim with a low rude voice and when he starts singing it is the voice of another sim :(
-cleaning / selling items from family baggage with one click
- I'm not a fan of babies, but many players are worried about their stripped-down gameplay. Personally, I prefer to skip this stage of age.
Almost impossible, but I'll try :):
-the adolescent stage does not differ in any way from the adult stage. One more age stage would not hurt here.
-Adjustment of growth, or at least a few ready-made to choose from.
Construction, visual aspect of the game:
-Repainting the ceiling
-my little dream is to fix the light outside the house, the light that is visible from the windows of the house on the street should be displayed correctly. He must visually create coziness, a desire to look inside. At the moment, the light through the glass windows is almost invisible.
- round walls.
-glass walls? It would be cool.
- round pool
-the ability to build 1 or more elevators in the house.
- glare from light on objects and the ability to turn them off for older computers
-reflexes, for example, garlands on a Christmas tree should create a beautiful picture on the floor and walls. This must be the most beautiful thing on this wonderful holiday.
-Rays of light can pass through windows inside the house, this should add atmosphere to the game.
- it would be cool to add the ability to build windows in the ceiling that let in a lot of light.
- spiral staircases. Well, as if it's time already :)
And finally, I really want to see an add-on about the future with a beautiful city and megatowers like in SimCity in which you can live))
Thanks for your time :)
