Would you like the return of the Architect career/Construction Game Pack?

I don't remember if it was in Sims 3 or not. I've never played Sims 1 or 2.

My yes is more of a "yeah it be great to have but it's not really needed".

In ts3 editing other sims houses was a hassle unless you used cheats and even then I could be dangerous if you didn't save frequently. Anyway the hassle was that you had to switch households if you wanted to edit that households house and sometimes the loading to switch households took time time. So if you wanted to edit the entire town you had to really make a commitment. The architect career allowed you to edit other sims houses without having to switch households. The only drawback was that you had to wait for a household to put in a request you couldn't just edit any household of your choosing freely but it still made things easier.

Ts4 editing a house is so easy and fast and there is nothing stopping you from doing it or making you switch households. I can go in and make minor changes to 5 houses in the time it took me to do the same with one house or 2 houses in ts3. The only real use of the architect career would be for story purposes and fun for that sim. Which isn't bad thing, it just doing hold the same level of utility/necessity it did in ts3.

I don't really think so i got annoyed at ts3 version pretty fast

BUT I might change my mind if i could actually have my sims building house/shelter/whatever as gameplay feature and watch them do some construction work and perhaps build themselves their own house or make shelter on abandoned island or whatever like that is nice

just... idk the design part bores me
my houses aint that fancy

I think it would be more fun if the architect could create house templates, rather than edit a specific lot, and you could add a house of that template to a lot when you wanted.

Also I'd like a construction active career like GTW but that worked on an off world lot like the hospital, etc, so you could have a lot of fun animations with various construction equipment and failure states and such but not actually alter an existing lot.

We can build any time we want, so it just seems like freeing the careers from being tied to building an actual lot makes sense in the name of making the careers more flexible.

Yes! Absolutely! That would be the best of both worlds to me, not only would it feed my creative side it would also force me to actually "play" the game to accomplish the goals of building.

I wouldn't mind the return of the Architest career or a Construction game pack. o:)

Is that to “test” the “arch’s” in build mode?

Sorry, could resist. ;)

I don't usually play careers, but if they have to add it I think it would be nice if it came with additional build features, like spiral stairs, possibility to have stair railings only on one side, real ponds, and other interesting architectural features. Or maybe possibility to designate a floor as community space on residential lots, or change requirements for lot types. Or maybe categorize build features into styles, so if your sim is asked to build a modern house, they get some modern house templates to work on and the catalogue shows in a separate category modern build and buy elements? Anyway, building possibilities in the game are quite limited as there are few lots in a world and it may soon become a tedious and repetitive career. And it's not possible to design the neighbourhoods so you're restricted in the type of house design you choose by that too. Also, what if you don't want to change the design of a house you're called to re-design?

You saw nothing.

I would very much like to see that career return if it's possible. I can imagine that it's probably one of the more difficult careers to do in the sims4 engine...
