Yep, cuddling in bed was nice but I didn't particularly care all that much for the 'extra kissing package' in the TS2. That was when they wake up and won't get up until the other one get's up. After awhile it became annoying. I don't if people remember that file wasn't in the base game but added later. I think with Pets. Or if you just wanted one to get up a few minutes before the other one, the other one would jump up, too.
It got annoying. But yes, I wish they would bring back a lot of things. But to be fair to them though I want filthy houses, Sims crying because they are in misery of unmade beds, and filth, lol, people modded out everything in these games. Making the bed, they fussed, cuddling, they fussed said it took too long to get them to sleep, turned the lights on and off when the other came to bed, wouldn't get up when we commanded etc. They modded out relax because their Sims went to relax too much, for everything we thought was a nice touch. Pecado and others had a mod to get rid of it, because thousands found them annoying.
I can see how that extra stuff really does make a game special, but it's just like now, when my Sim sniffs the air, and looks up while sniffing, I want to mod it out of there, it's annoying. They aren't looking up at the player, they are sniffing the air, and I find it time consuming. Get on with it and quit and get in that hospital and do your job. :D
ETA: Hey, Bon It's a good thread and I agree this game needs more depth, but I also feel animations for Sims shouldn't be across the board. Like in the Mansion and Garden EP when they did add putting the hand over the eyes when they stepped outside to block the sun etc. Everyone thought they were saluting. lol What I mean my negative answers is this, It should have only happened if the sun was in their eyes, because doing animations across the board for every Sim in every situation gets people annoyed and they mod it out. It doesn't make sense when it may be raining outside.
Or walking out and sniffing the air for all Sims should have been just held to if there was a particular flower or shrub imho, because it is those idles that get people annoyed. Like Sims rubbing their belly in the FT EP. Pecado modded that out probably on day one. I think it shouldn't have been for all Sims, maybe when they just eat a particular food.
That way things are toned down enough to be interesting and seeing something too often is annoying and time consuming, when if it is tied to a particular event and or thing it makes it more special and people less likely to hack it out of the game.
