I've never played the previous TS games, but i often wonder why TS4 doesn't have sims do the usual chores like dusting, polishing, cleaning ordinary things, going outside trimming the grass with a manual/electric/petrol mower, cleaning up the yard, spraying weeds, tending to garden objects like plants and indoor plants, removing spider webs in the upper corners of the house and on the ceiling, especially around the lights. cleaning the stoves, oven and walls in the kitchen, not to mention the fridge of dead insects and general dirt build up from hands opening and closing the door. then there is oiling of the door hinges, sink taps, bathtub taps and window hinges. Cleaning inside the house with a hoover, using sprays to kill dustmites and germs on sofas. pull up all the bed covers and pillow cases, washing and hanging them out to dry or putting them on radiators (which for some reason this game doesn't have and should).
List is endless, i'd love to see these things in the game, it would be especially noticable between slob vs. ordinary vs. neat sims, and it would punish players for having more dirter sims and lazy sims more, as it should be honestly. When was the last time you saw a work shy, lazy sim do anything around the house that wasn't a benefit to them? they'd sooner leave it until it has to be done.
