My ideas for Generation EP

I miss playing games of tag and proper catch from the Sims 3. Something so wonderful about watching sim parents chuck the ol' pigskin back and forth with their kids. You can kind of interact with soccer balls, but instead of just kicking it back and forth it's a weird juggling competition, which is fine, but...not the same. And the lack of non-object games like tag or hide-and-seek is kind of lame.

I also want a serious adoption overhaul. As someone who hails from a foster/adoptive family, I take particular issue with the Sims 4's Ebay-esque method of acquiring children. It'd be nice if there was at least some checklist requirements that prospective parents had to meet--one or both parents have to have a steady job, they have to have a house, there have to be enough beds to accomodate the new child, etc. And if a social worker would at least pop by for inspection beforehead, NAP officer style, and maybe the sim parents in question have to befriend him/her. And maybe Sims in certain careers (*cough* criminal *cough*) can't adopt, but could Attempt to Bribe?

Okay, maybe that's too much, but something a little more immersive and way less creepy than buying a kid online. I always feel like part of a black market deal and keep checking over my shoulder for the FBI to crash in.
