A way to assign skills in CAS. It never made sense to me that adults have no skills. They should at least have what a teenage who graduated from high school would have. I understand that some players feel that skilling is challenging and fun, however, I find that doing the same thing over and over again is not challenging, but boring. If I want to repeat the same thing over and over, I'd go find an assembly line job. :D

CAS: Initial skill points would be great. Always found it hard to believe that a person could reach adulthood knowing nothing (although I have known a few people that make me wonder...) Also the TS2-style astrological setup and likes/dislikes were always handy. Add to that the ability to scope a room. I used to love that function. The other suggestions I could take or leave.

This is the problem with creating adults or elders. They're still completely unskilled louts despite their advanced age. Dad is working as a toilet scrubber in his mid-40s and Mom manages to set fire to boiling water. The kids are stuck inheriting the starter house and unable to afford something bigger. Sooner or later the holy wars over the toilet from cramming so many Sims into a starter house lead to someone dying of embarrassment. Real funny, EA!

End result: We have to create as a Young Adult, and then EA sees more YAs being made and focuses the game towards the "party it up and sleep around" people.

Pre-skilling would allow us to completely pre-make a family.


Also - the ability to order guests to do things at parties to fulfill the goals. I need you to get playful, so laugh, plummit!
