⚔️ Maxis vs Basegame Skills

Hi,

Some skills are updated and others are completely ignored.

Maxis "favorite" skills :

  • Cooking / Gourmet Cooking / Mixology
  • Fitness
  • Fishing
  • Gardening
  • Handiness : Finally woodworking gets new recipes and a kit brought restoration
  • Photography / Painting : sims can paint anything
  • Video gaming

 

Neglected skills :

  • Comedy : No new jokes. A jester would have more to offer (acrobatics, juggling, performing magic tricks, jokes in song). It could also include mime.
  • Guitar / Piano / Violin : No new songs. Maybe with Showtime EP we will get something.
  • Mischief : No new voodoo doll powers or mischievous interactions
  • Programming : No new hacks
  • Writing : No new books .
    • Maybe potions, magic spells and voodoo curses could be a knowledge that the sims should write in a grimoire (Magic book of Family recipes protected by a spell).
    • Career books could be a way to boost the performances (efficiency gain)

 

"Dead end" skills ? :

  • Charisma : Many features already boost the relationships.
  • Logic : Do the sims never use their brain ??? No it doesn't count when zombies eat it.
  • Rocket Science : New rockets ? But to do what ???

  • i made this one awhile back: no new skills but it improves the mischief skills Game Pack idea! Hatestruck 

    a new world isn't necessary in my opinion but it's the complete opposite of Lovestruck

    i hope the teams make notes on this for a more expanded mischief skills

    as for the instrument skills (guitar, piano, violin etc) forming a music pack might come out later this year with hopefully new instruments and more expanded instrument skills that already exist and even forming a team

    as for the programming skills: there was a survey and one of them is based on technology (Cyberpunk) so there's hope for a more programming skill options

    Deberian empezar por hacer un remake de los extraterrestres, ya que actualmente no es nada gracioso tener hombres verdes por toda la casa y lo unico que pueden hacer es transformarse en humanos o viceversa

    Rocket scientist getting abducted and abused on a weekly basis in my game. 

    My household in strangerville has four alien children...this is from abductions.

    My sims in this particular lot in strangerville are just being probed on a weekly basis while trying to run a bar...

    I'm good right now since there's no room for new alien babies.

    My point...Rocket scientist shouldn't be used for populating the Sim worlds with alien babies!

    This doesn't happen anywhere else in my game unless I'm playing a rocket scientist.

    Two sims(vampire and alien) on my strangerville lot can travel to Sixam because of their skill levels in robotics and science.

    This causes endless alien abdutions wherever they live as along as they have these high science traits and skills. 🤣 😜🙂

    I agree with your other points.

    I like all these ideas too. 🫠🙂

     

     

  • In term of business with Rocket, maybe the next level would be to sell commercial travel in space (for rich sims at least).

    Criminal sims could use it to smuggle alien goods back to Earth.

     

    Rocket Science shouldn't be only about building a huge useless object.

  • This! Spot on! The team needs to refresh most of the skills with updateds after 10 years.

    The voodoo doll needs a potent remake.
