suggestion: "disaster" sliders. fire,electric,emotion deaths.
I'm finding my sims game too simple. They go to work, they get romantic, they build a big house and have kids and...repeat. I get bored after two or three generations. Can we get an adjustment option for negative occurrences? Chances for fires, electrocution, burglary, job loss, severe emotion related doom, deadly illness and whatever else?
I feel I would be more interested in keeping a long-term family if I had things challenging me. In the original "The Sims" I had some desperate struggles not to lose my entire family to a Hamster. It was intense. I still remember it.
Of course, I understand not everyone wants to watch their Sim families suffer misfortune... so, just like aging, why not some likelihood sliders or toggles for these disastrous events? Give me some true-to-life struggles to work my little people through.
And yes, I do know about mods. They are great. That's not what I am looking to get out of this discussion, though.
