Rather than posting in the ideas thread, I thought I'd put this here. Like, sometimes ideas come to me that I'd sort of want in the game, but I know probably don't have mass appeal--for good reason! So I thought we could all share our weirdo/terrible wish list here :-DFor example...I kind of want a death tax? Kids can just inherit everything from their parents, the house, the money, everything, and I kinda wish there was a "tax" of some kind, a percentage of the total estate value they had to pay. Maybe they'd have to sell things off to pay it, or even move. I know that makes things unnecessarily difficult tho, and it'd be tricky to specify, since I wouldn't want it to happen EACH time a parent died, jusst when there were none of the old generation left. It would kinda make multi generations more challenging, insteaad of constantly accumulating wealth over time. But, yeah, probably not actually good for everyone's game :-PAnyone else got anything like that?

Mine are a little more cruel lol, for sake of a storyplay I wanted my sim to be able to lose her child (she was pregnant) but I dont think its possible in any of the games without a mod. Things that people play to escape from in the sims is what i want in it.

well taxes would be interesting I'd have a reason to hoard funds lol, I was thinking that elder ladies should be able to have children but there is about a 50% chance they die during birth not the child but the mother which seems dark but could fit a few stories. Emotional deaths could be stronger for traits or age. Well I guess a lot of things could be stronger for certain traits maybe another trait added with others, like romantic could stay the same but romantically free might flirt whether they are in a relationship. You know instead of close families being in danger all the time..just a thought.

Passwords for computers. I'm tired of random sims using my sim's computers. You invite a sim over and the first thing they do is use your computer.

accidents... not as extreme as to cause death, though. things like scars, burns, broken limbs...

Like a toggle, or a way in the game to flag certain Sims. Right now, we can flag households from being culled, for instance. Why not a way to flag certain Sims from tragic events? That way, all have what they want.

Things you kind of want but know are probably bad ideas that no one else wants ;-P

Being able to do more fighting. xD The shove interaction is watered down and there's no real slap like in Sims 3 (aside from the playful fake slap). I'm not talking like violent stuff, but more slapstick comedy.

Something that I would like to see in game but most probably won't happen is the chance of separated/divorced sim parents to share custody of their children. Like the kids could live with their mother/father on the weekdays but spend the weekend over with the other parent house. The option to be able to do this on Live mode instead of having to go through "manage household" would be nice.

As I often play divorced sims, I can't help but agree with this. It's really annoying to go into manage household and shuffle children around all the time!

I put my computer in a room with a door and allow access to household only to keep visitors off of it and if the household abuses it I lock it for everyone and only unlock the door when I need it. It can be kind of a pain sometimes I admit, but that thing can be like a flame is to moths.

I would like more realistic relationships. Sometimes I want to pretend that a Sim is in love with someone else but this person doesn't love them back. But it is currently impossible. Either they both love each other or they don't, they can't have different feelings... Sorry I don't know if that makes sense, English is not my first language ^^
