Voting and influence point - alternative uses?

I use only a mini version of the NAP system, meaning it is not very important to neither me nor my sims whether they gain influence points or not. But - they do build up a lot of influence points anyway, and I'm not pondering on what other ways I can use those points. And I don't think how *the game* can use them - assuming they can only be used for voting - but if I can use them for my custom political system, or something else.

My only idea so far is to allow for sims to cash out those influence points by "wasting them on a voting board" and me cheating the same amount of simoleons back to their cash account. This can of course not be done constantly, so perhaps I'll use a rule of minimum 500 points before cashing them in.

I wish I could exchange them into the points used for the trait awards store. Hm... maybe I can do so through cheating (UI Cheat), never checked.

Any bright minds out there seeing how sims could benefit from influence points aside from voting? If you could wish for a new related feature, what would it be?
  • Simstagram followers, maybe? Or if they have a ton of influence points you can spend them on celebrity stars. Or promotions.
  • I like to spend mine at the community centers.

    I may look into building them and see if I can change them into a carnival park, water park, ect. I'll just add those items along with what's required for each theme to the build.
