Re: Sims 4 New Ideas

@CMeki, 😮 Deadly Bees! *PugLove runs and hides* 😃:eahigh_file:😳  Better my Sims than us! 👿 😉

I'm sorry that some Vegans miss the taste of cheese! 😢  I could never be Vegan, but being Catholic I am a part-time Ovo-lacto-pesca-vegetarian. 😇 (I don't know the official name for it, but you catch my drift! 😃) I'm about to start that up again on Wednesday.  I have some beautiful broccolini waiting for the occasion!  (For those who don't know what broccolini is, here is a link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broccolini  .  It is a form of broccoli.  ❤️

Since we don't have Vegans in the game, are a lot of your Sims Vegetarian?  🤔

@PugLove888

Sounds like what we just call pescitarian. 😇 And actually in Sweden in many places if you only say vegetarian you'll get "vegan" food, as vegan is about the lifestyle and not just the food. I'm personally not vegan I just eat only completely vegetarian food (vegetarian being food that only comes from vegetables, or other kind of vegetation). Animal products like eggs and milk comes from animals, so they can not be considered as vegetarian. So it's important here in Sweden to say lacto-ovo, like you did, to get that in your food 🙂
But not all people get that (yet) so yeah, I usually have to say that I eat vegan, or "wholevegetarian" xD

Well, in the beginning I made a lot of them vegetarian, but as you can only have 3 traits that became really limiting for me, as I like my sims to have more of a personality that that. When I played the most I had a mod that made it possible to have more traits though, and then more were vegetarian too.
Right now I don't have that mod, so not even my selfsim is vegetarian... But just like in real life I can just choose to cook vegetarian meals, so it's not that different. I eat vegetarian because of the worlds environmental issues, so I would not get sick and throw up like the sims if I ate meat, I just think it's unnecessary! :eahigh_file:

@CMeki, in the United States "Vegetarians" will eat eggs and dairy since those are not actual animals, but products they produce.  And "Vegans" are the ones who don't consume any animal products.  So it seems we use the terminology slightly different than you do in Sweden. 🤔  I don't know if it is the same for clothing, but I would assume that most Vegans would not use wool, even though it is sheared from the sheep and the sheep still live, while Vegetarians that I know will use wool, but not anything like leather. 

Yes, it is extremely difficult to make a Sim that perfectly reflects yourself or other people you know with only 3 personality traits!  So if you wanted to make a whole town of Vegetarians, they wouldn't be much different from each other, unlike in real life!  I too usually only use the Vegetarian trait for certain Sims for who I feel it is their most important characteristic. 😉  Also, like you stated, most Vegetarians would not get sick enough to throw up if they ate a little bit of meat like our Sims do!  Most Vegetarians are so either because of ideological reasons, like yourself, or for health reasons.  But I do know one person who is a Vegetarian because she just plain doesn't like meat.  She's not crazy about the taste, but the real reason is she hates the texture!  🤨  (I also had a friend who wouldn't eat onions because of the texture, but she loved the taste of onion powder! 🙂 ) 

I still want uni options, seasons and perhaps we should get school options like be a teacher but actually like in the hospital, actually be in the school, like an update on that of sims 3.

I think we need much more choice in homes and lots too because I don’t always want to build my own. Sometimes I do, but it takes time and sometimes you just want sims to move into a home and then tweak it as necessary.

@Louhoff, I've always wanted a career option in TS4 to be a teacher, and I think it would be a lot of fun to actually play as a teacher like we can as a Scientist, Police Detective, or Doctor in Get to Work! ❤️

I would also love a University pack in TS4! 🥳  (Not as much as a Seasons Pack, but I would still love it! 😉 )   While I enjoyed this pack in TS3, I was addicted to the University EP in TS2!  Fun times! 😃

Also, I don't often build my own homes.  I just go onto the Gallery and download them and then put my Sims in them!  :eahigh_file:  I tweak them a bit, like you stated, as well.  I used to build a ton of houses in TS1 and TS2, but I'm such a perfectionist about it, it would take days just to actually start playing my family, so now I mostly use other people's houses!  😳 They build far better stuff than I could ever make! 😳😃

Do you ever download houses from the Gallery? 🤔

I love that idea about a Teacher Career. I always download my houses and my sims from the gallery.  I always go to most popular now. Then every once in a while delete all and start over, as not to get the same downloads. I always change there name and check them all out. LOL.
