Better Townies: Randoms that make sense to our worlds.
There's only so many times you can go into a randomly generated household and give the ridiculously off theme yet also near constantly identical sims a makeover before you start to wonder if this is a low-key torture method by the creators.
There are plenty of threads and discussions on here about lacking townies, how boring and samey they are, how terrible their wardrobes are and clone-line their design is, which is why I'm making this post to hopefully make and receive insight into how EA can improve townies so we look forward to seeing a new bunch in our worlds, maybe even wanting to play them this time around, maybe wanting to have them as in without having to spend ages re-making them because the game just throws any old present onto a body so it doesn't have to work as hard.
A lot of this I get, the system is busy making the game work, it can't/shouldn't be confined to meticulously deciding what a sim is going to look like, what their traits and job will be, etc etc, kids, pets, all that nonsense.
BUT! I say BUT! An update could be released where instead of presets, the game produces something a little more detailed, a little different, maybe create an invisible slider the system can choose to mix up so instead of presets being thrown into our worlds, the game just random moves bars here and there so we get a weirder/better/different looking sim, with unique names, body builds, face designs, hairstyles (Using those from all the packs and not just whatever it can be bothered to grab at a moments notice), and design their relatives to actually look like the them! (You've no idea how many times I've had a family spawn and literally nobody looks alike! At all).
Not dissing EA, they're busy, doing things behind the scenes as we've noticed with Uni's semi-secret/leaked debut.
But, if they can update stairs, give us new clothes and chairs and costumes, they can spend a little time working on townies (And updating babies but you didn't hear that from me).
Maybe even pets, in that strange yet silly way a lot of owners match the style of their dogs/cats by dressing or looking a certain way with clothes and facial hair, maybe we can have a family that is one guy and a load of puppies! or kittens.
Or the game throws us a single mum with 7 kids of al varying ages from toddlers to teens.
Or you get a grandmother with her daughter/son, two or three grandkids and the grand-pups, make it cute, silly, an actual story worth getting into.
I know this is probably too much to ask, yet, that's all I'm doing, asking, they can snip here and there and remove parts but just taking on board the idea overall, would be nice, and to be heard (Ahem, babies), would mean a lot, especially from someone whose main source of enjoyment is sims.
Gonna wrap this up here and leave you guys to comment below with your ideas!
Please, no fighting, just want this to be an ideas post and not a debate over whose and whats-its thing like so many posts become.
Thanks for reading this and have a nice day! Dag dag.
