New Camera Perspectives (and "mini games")
Traditionally, gameplay has been in an omniscient viewpoint overlooking sims like a birds eye view. Being able to switch at any time from the regular omniscient viewpoint to third person or first person view points of sims could practically create an entirely new styled game.
Third Person- An "over the shoulder" viewpoint, the camera will be focused on one sim, allowing the player to use controls on the keyboard (as opposed to clicking) to move them around the world and automatically interact with other objects or sims. This camera perceptive would enhance exploring and make for faster paced gameplay!
First Person- Switching to a first person camera angle (except during certain "pixelated" activities...) would allow players to see through the eyes of their sims, and turn many interactions that build skills or craft items into mini-games. These "games" could include: choosing specific ingredients and actions while cooking to decide the quality of the food, solving circuit or plumbing puzzles to repair or upgrade objects, playing the piano by selecting the keys at the right time, painting custom paintings at an easel, or using specific phrases to socialize with other sims like never before (all through the eyes of your sims!)!
