A more detailed and in-depth personality system would be great! Emotions as we've known them so well, but also some "thoughts", turn ons and offs, the ability to have multiple aspirations simultaneously, and MEMORIES! I've been dying to have an album full of the important things in my Sims life. I miss the memory system from The Sims 3...
I think I'd like the memory system from Sims 2 instead. It focused on the important things like births, deaths, major romantic events, etc. I mean, how many times does a Sim need to remember growing a perfect plant? And with the open world everyone was building memories which on some computers contributed to save bloat and corrupted saves. And memories had impact -- you had the bad memories like getting fired and such. I'd also like to see some sort of memory decay -- some memories will last longer than others. When you're a kid, getting that perfect report card or learning to ride a bike is a Big Deal, but when you get older that memory sort of fades, replaced by bigger memories.
I do like the idea of banks, though maybe not as detailed in the original post. I'd especially like the ability to split money between household members -- you'd have the base household account then every member would have their own portion. It would make part-time jobs for teens a lot more meaningful -- they could save money for their own place or the eventual University experience. Right now, you could have a teen who takes up programming in their spare time, make a few thousand Simoleons making apps or doing freelance work, but when they move out they lose that money and are stuck with the base §20K. Or you have a roommate, the roommate gets married and you get kicked out with all the money you earned lost (and even the goodies you earned in career rewards get left behind so you have to buy them all oover again). Or the roommate moves out and you get all his/her money and stuff.
