Pole Dance Ability
Part of this idea came from watching my Sim increase her skill at Yoga and turn Meditation into Levitation. Let's face it, our Sims are TERRIBLE dancers, and hopefully from the trailer that'll be fixe...

Hmmm...
I think if they were careful how they presented it, then it could be ok. I understand that people want this in their games, but anything too seedy can be very off-putting. So, I think they would need to package it in a less-seedy, more generally appealing way.
For example, I noticed that in TS3 the fireman's pole could be used like a pole dancing pole with a bit of imagination. I think they could possibly have something like that as part of a circus act, so it's not too obviously sexual and focuses on the skill and artistic nature of the performance. I know that my knee-jerk reaction to a 'stripper pole' would be 'Eww... tacky... no!!!' But, if there was a circus game pack, like the circus sets from the TS3 store, mixed with the performance aspects of Showtime, I would 100% love it! And if one of the performances included artistic gymnastics involving a pole... then that would be much more acceptable to people like me. And then people who wanted a strip-club could simply take that aspect of the pack and put it in a club, and put the performers in something skimpy. Performing for tips, like in Showtime, would also be fine with me, if it's presented at artistic.
