[CAS Suggestion] Nicknames & Food Preferences
Just a couple of ideas that might be fun and help the game to feel more realistic (if that's your thing)!
I think it would be really cool for your Sims to be able to have their full name, and also the option of a nickname. If I create a Sim named Eleanor, but I want her to be referred to as Ellie throughout her everyday life, it would be great to have that option somewhere in CAS. Maybe a Sim's full name could be used on things like birth certificates, high school/college diplomas, marriage certificates, etc. And then their nickname could be used by friends, family members, and general pop-ups from the game. If you're happy for your Sim to use just their regular name, the nickname field could be left blank.
The other idea is to have food preferences/intolerances be in a separate part of the CAS system, rather than added in as traits. We only get three traits per Sim, so it would be nice to not have to use a trait on them being lactose intolerant or vegetarian! Maybe we could select food preferences like we do for likes/dislikes, or even in the same way that we select gender/romance preferences ("Does this Sim eat meat?" "Does this Sim eat dairy products?"). It would also be a great way to build more inclusivity into the game.
Apologies if these ideas have been suggested already!
