Items many would like to see and should see with one of these expansions
Hello to all, just became a member, which means that now I can actually voice about this game. This brings me to my first idea which is the title of this topic.
I have listed some of these items in comments before and many have agreed that these items (Ex: Spiral Stairs) would be really good to have. The Examples are listed as follows:
1. Spiral Stairs
2. L shape Stairs
3. U Shape Stairs
4. Fold Down attic stairs
5. 90 degree winder stairs
6. 180 degree winder stairs
7. Curved Stairs
8. Double L shape stairs
9. Elevators (there are elevators but they are only in city living apartments and act more as a portkey)
11. dutch doors (usually used in kitchen areas)
12. bi-fold doors (closets mostly, but they can sometimes be used to connect a room)
13. pocket door (bathroom most times)
14. accordion doors(mostly closets, but again may make for a unique look in the house)
Other things:
1. Usable Attic space (would make the fold down stairs practical and would give people the ability to create a proper basement/attic house)
2. Garage doors (this is IF they bring cars back)
3. Catercorner counter tops ( I don't know why this is not possible. We are currently able to turn counter tops on many different corners and yet it is not possible to snap a counter top to the rest of the counter space when its on a catercorner??? unacceptable...)
That's my starting list of things that come to mind. The other thing to note is that there are even MORE stair types then the ones listed above. The ones I listed though would probably be the most interesting and useful.
Now I understand that Spiral Stairs were added in Sims 3 Generations, but honestly... why not add more stairs then just Spiral Stairs and actual elevators that act as elevators for apartments and houses... This brings me to my biggest problem with these expansion packs... Instead of feeling like there is a progression to something better or new, I feel like there have been a lot of cut backs. Now we don't even have what one would call an elevator, but instead something that resembles more of a portkey... why???? I also remember counter tops could be put on a catercorner wall in Sims 3... why is this impossible here??? Everything else can be put on a catercorner just about, but not countertops... This Sims was also the first sims where pools were not included in the base game, but added in patch 7. I am at least glad to see we GOT pools free and don't have to drag it out into one of these packs...The other option would be to add these separately a piece at a time through patches, but so far, the last thing I can remember was a redo to roofs or something...So I doubt we will see stairs and such in patches...
Overall, these are more like diet expansion packs, where there are a few new features, but also content cut around the edges...
