Scenarios: ideas and feedback from the community

I'm trying to figure out why the scenario's just couldn't be part of the new Lot Challenges feature.

Amnesia Challenge:

This sims lose all skills at the end of a period of time, maybe 3 days?

The scenario would involve doing things like getting to the top of a profession, producing master piece, and so on.

Diamond in the rough:

In this scenario the sim starts with all the worst traits of the parenting values stuff. Challenges would be making friends maybe? Doing well in general?

No pants:

For seasons. The vengeance of the removed trait meant to contrast the never nude trait of Sims 3. This sim will only ever wear their underwear or be nude, no option to wear winter wear at all. You also start at the end of fall, with winter approaching and with the season durations set to the maximum.

Well I touched upon this in other thread but i do wish they would expand the concept and make it more like how in sims 2 when you entered household they had whole scenario/ situation going on

like bella is missing marry cassandra to don dina tryna marry mortimer and so forth where its like more about lore of specific household than random achievement

OR then theres also Get A Life mode from ps2 games we could do in this way
(starts at 2:40)

you get the idea after couple minutes though no need to watch it all :lol:

but basically like idk id like it to be a little more extra about things in that way where it makes things a little more dramatic and actual scenario like

oh or how in sims medieval theres those quest things thats another example of what they could do with scenario

theres lots of potential but im just worried it ends up like aspirations/ achievements with just unconnected goals

A lot of "scenario" ideas here:

Another idea: Love triangle scenario

Your sim is in a love triangle with two other sims. Your sim either has to pick one sim to pursue a relationship with or compete with another sim to win the heart of a sim.

This would be fun, kind of like harvest moon (maybe stardew valley, I haven't played that much) where you have potential towns people you can marry but you are also in competition with other people and certain decisions you make will bring you closer or drive your competition closer to your target.

Scenario isn't add any new gameplay more than you got satified point when you complete that. I think they just lack of new creative idea. Fan challegn is enough for me.

To be honest I was disappointed yesterday after the stream because EA didn't show anything interesting but I think that we can talk about the new feature possibilities. In my opinion SDX can be a nice way to implement some CC or a new small content especially for noCC / console players. I'm curious what kind of things implemented this way you would like to see in your game. I would like to ask CC players to be respectful for noCC/console customers.

On my wishlist is some of CC content made by creators which was collaboration in the past with EA.

I really wanted something else other than this. Anyway my personal favorite (havent tried it yet but it looks great) is the Alphabet Challenge where you name each of your babies a letter in the alphabet, and you have 26 babies total (over multiple generations), from A to Z.

The other one would be even better - Around the World challenge, where you create someone from your home country, and then you try to create new NPCs (or find them on the gallery, try mine, Jolasim or SakuraLeon's galleries) and marry them. This one is versatile, because you can set goals to marry and have offspring as many countries as you desire. So for example, I want to achieve 10 countries over 10 generations. Here's my route: Australia (gen 1) → Mexico → Brazil → France → Sweden → Morocco → Madagascar → India → Japan → Thailand → Australia (gen 10). I think this might make things even more fun! But first, we need country preferences in CAS so that we can set countries to a Sim so that we know where in the real world they come from.

I was just thinking there need to be a thread for scenario ideas.
You've already done it! :)

I'll copy over my idea from the general forum:

I wouldn't mind a danger and drama scenario where random events could happen to your sim's household.
This way EA could add more excitement to the game, but it would only affect your game if you activated it.

It could be a mix of chance cards, unique moodlets, animated sim to sim, or environmental situations, dialogue pop-ups specifically telling you what one sim is saying to another sim, automatic game set ups that we usually have to use cheats to make happen, and a few unique objects as things to be used in the scenario, or as rewards.

Now that I could go for, not a simple UI text-based goal and minor game set ups.

There are so many things they could do.
I hope they can expand on the Money scenario by adding chance cards that offer risk/reward scenarios.
You sim could invest in opportunities that could turn out to be a Pozi scheme, or be an actual successful enterprise.

Ooh... they could create a curiosity shop that could randomly populate itself with objects with unknown attributes and effects.
You buy a monkey's paw and it brings you constant good luck. Someone buys a different monkey's paw and it brings them bad luck.
You could buy some object that just looks interesting and them someone drops by and offers you a lot of money for it, or someone breaks into your house to steal it. You can fight them and get it back, and then you get a pop-up suggesting you research the object and find out more about it and it leads you on a mini adventure.

There could be all kings of objects that generate fun little scenarios.

I hate this whole scenario idea.

First, it is coming out half-baked. Hey guys we are adding this new feature but oh you cant use it on an existing at the moment. Like what? Fix it and and then release it. We have enough in the game NOT WORKING.
Two, so many people are already doing rags to riches. Do we really need an in game million dollar calculator.
Three, what is the reward for completing these scenarios...just to say I did it??

This development time could have been utilized to make traits more meaningful, tweaking life styles, memory system of important events, attraction system, favorites, DANCING FACE TO FACE, adding more social events like BBQs\pool parties, I am just not getting the excitement around this. I hope I am wrong.
