Water heaters
I believe water heaters can be a good addition for the game.
- Two heaters: a drum one and a box shaped one. Each will have the same upgrades but will works differently. Drum one will consume less energy and the box shaped one will consume more. Also, new clutter items like gas/propane tanks and heater vent.
- Gameplay can involve plumbing items use, for example if a Sim flush the toilet while another one is taking a shower will trigger a new animation with the Sim in the shower being burned by a very hot water.
- The need to have a water heater to have hot water as well. Not to bring more realism to the game but to add a new gameplay item like the laundry ones. Of course, this gameplay can be deactivated in the options menu.
- Positive and negative moodlets if the temperature of the heater is not regulated. If Sims needs o wants a very hot shower, they can control the water temperature.
- New item in bills. Separated from energy as "water heating". Hot water will be more expensive.
- Eco Lifestyle compatibility: drum electric heater will consume less energy if solar panes are placed in the lot and the box shaped propane/gas heater will increase the industrial footprint.
