Being a brit i love playing the sims, its american styled (obvs it being made american and being based in america) it makes it so much fun living the american life style... Mail boxes, styles of homes, pools (soon) etcHowever... How would american simmers feel if they went british style? London town, country style?

Actually, they I think they should. Big Ben and all that.

I think other than picturing double-decker buses, driving on the wrong side of the road, and fog, most of us have no idea what you might be suggesting. :)

I would enjoy it. I loved WA just for the chance to see other countries. I have no idea how accurate they were, but I really liked them. Being a rather poor American, it is very unlikely I will ever get the chance to ever see another country, excepting the time I went into Canada for the day, and that looked just the same as home.Do you not have mail boxes in Britain? Do you just have the smaller boxes on the front of the house by the door instead?

Well of course Piperbird1 ;) and adding some strange new worlds to explore would be cool too. I'd loved to have an Ood planet.

PLAYABLE OOD!!!!!!!
Sorry, overexcited.
Could you imagine, Dalek maids, Cyberman mailmen, Sontarans delivering pizza.....

Maybe instead of a world adventures, they could build unique foreign neighborhoods for us to live in instead of just traveling to.

Terraced houses and tower blocks, chip shops and kebab shops, mushy peas and beans on toast, chavs and toffs. Sounds like fun.

As a Yank, yes. Yes, I would adore this. Yes, I would love this. I would marry this and have its babies. Toss in a premade Hiddleston sim and, to paraphrase Mister @Crackseed: UNF.

Well, I don't really know what a British neighborhood would entail. But sure, I'll give it a go. I expect it would be a fun change of pace.

One thing -- mailboxes on the front of the house or slots in the door are certainly not exclusively British. We had the 'on the house' box when I was a kid (in Michigan, near Detroit). My grandparents had the slot in the door (it has a metal flap on a spring-loaded hinge that keeps things out, generally). It wasn't until my family moved to a more rural area that I'd ever seen the box-on-a-pole like we have in the Sims games.

As for accents . . . uh . . . how do you do any kind of accent in Simlish? It doesn't make much sense to me, but hey, if you can make it work, sure!

I want ...

A pub with darts.
Double decker buses.
Proper phone boxes (we don't have phone boxes at all any more, not where I live; just an ugly phone mounted on a pole.
Venues like Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, and the Tower (complete with woohoo)
Mischievous sims can try to taunt the Palace Guardsmen into breaking protocol.
Recipes like steak and kidney pie and Yorkshire pudding.

The majority of houses in the UK are semi detached or terraced and this is something I really wish we could build in the Sims. It would really add some realism for us Brits. It 'is' possible to create these in-game but one thing necessary to make them playable is the ability to lock doors to keep the neighbours out. Now if we could just assign specific sims to specific doors ............ that would be the best thing ever.
