Missed opportunity items
I felt like posting something light hearted and fun, and so I came up with this idea, a list of things that you feel were missed opportunities that have - or have not - made it into the game later. N...
Forum Discussion
For rent/cool kitchen
- rolled ice cream machine. It's a Thai style of making ice cream and it's delicious. EA misses out on adding recipes and appliances for cultural themes.
Jungle Adventure
- coffee beans. I mean most coffee beans are grown in South America. Coffee makers and espresso machines should have a fresh ingredient option.
Horse Ranch
- nectar making. I'd like to point out that Dine Out introduced nectar on the restaurant menu, but it wasn't until horse ranch that nectar became craftable. And apparently, you can't craft dine out nectar recipes.
Home chef
- I would've liked to see a crepe maker, off the grid brick pizza oven, and a deli slicer for making sandwiches. The current appliances are great though.
Growing together
- there should be way more toddler and infant activities (not just small toys). Interactive objects like walkers, strollers, and play centers.
Get to work
- Aliens should've been expanded into an actual occult sim with ranks, perks, and powers. Sixam should've been made into a destination world, and the astronaut career should be an active career.
Vampires, Werewolves, ROM
- there is a cool mod that allows sims to become vampire slayers; they can fight other occults as well. However, EA should've introduced an occult hunter/investigator career. I mean, if you have a bunch of evil occult sims menacing the public, there should be someone out there whose job it is to put them back in line. Apparently, GTW detectives don't do anything in gameplay unless you play the active career.
Kids room
- void critters should be real creatures (similar to cottage living wildlife). Sims should be able to befriend/tame void critters and raise them like pets. I mean, kids aren't the only ones who would enjoy void critters. Also, void critters should be compatible with ROM so they can become familiars.
Vintage Glamour
- The pack should've included a functional rotary telephone (so sims don't have to use the phone menu) and gramphone stereo. And as for the vanity feature, similar to creating a styled look in CAS, sims should be able to create a makeup face template on the vanity. Then sims can apply a whole template at once, instead of picking each individual feature.
