Front Door - Knocking VS Doorbell
Much like the honking of the carpool I also miss the pleasant chime of the doorbell. It was just a nice notification that someone was visiting just in case I wasn't at the front of the house or viewin...

I've talked about wanting doorbells in other threads so I'm a big thumbs up on the idea! My Sims are always missing visitors because the knocking is just too soft. However, I do think it should be an option for those who don't want them. I love the idea of handiness Sims being able to upgrade them with different tones/tunes too.
If doorbells are not possible to add, I'd settle for a PIP popping up to show there's someone at the door. I used to love those PIPs to focus on little events happening in TS2 such as; when a burglar was creeping about, Claire the Bear kicking over your trashcan, etc. They were fun! :) We do have some similar special full screen vignettes the same as TS2, such as proposals, woo hoo, births, etc. But we don't have PIPs for other/smaller things.
However, some people might not like that either. It was a little window, but the notification music was usually a bit jarring/scary depending on the circumstances, so perhaps that could be an option as well? Or maybe no sound, just the PIP popping up in addition to the knocking. Just a thought... :)
