How would you add gameplay depth?
A common complaint that I see on the boards is that the game lacks depth. I see many complaints but few ideas for how to correct this. This is just for fun so don't send me looking for other thread...

There are a few things that I think would be positive changes to give the Sims to give them more personality.
1. Diet & Eating Style - I think this would be a positive step forward because I think it should be separate from the trait system. I has a human being have certain personality traits but whether or not I am an omnivore or vegetarian isn't because I am outgoing or bookish. This is more something that should be apart of preferences. So here are my choices for diet options
- Omnivore
- Vegetarian
- Pescetarian
- Doesn't Eat Sweets
- Sweet Tooth
- Junk Food Eater
2. Fears & Phobias - I honestly think that Fear is a major driver of personality. Besides our Preferences, Fear makes us partly who we are. My humble suggestion is we have a list of basic things that make us as human reasonably ill at ease such as fear of the dark. We should also have the option to pick a fear that is dialed to 11 and choose a phobia such as fear of water or going outside. Being irrational and uncontrollable fears could be interesting in some Sims
3. Favorites - Seriously know what you like is practically foundational in a persons makeup. My suggestion is Give them a basic set of Favorites to choose from and have them react positively when they do it.
4. More activities "With…" Frankly the amount of activities that human beings prefer to do with others is staggering and this should be reflected in the Sims. Here is a list of activities that should have the option to engage in with either another Sim or their Pets.
Hike with…
Jog with…
Nap with…
to name a few
I really like these ideas especially the ones about fears this would add a lot to the game
