I also have a few suggestions to make the game more fun and exciting. First, I think there should be more decorations for walls, outdoor, indoors, etc. More paintings, wall hangings, etc. Christmas trees, christmas lights, snowmen, reindeer for the lawn, Santa sleighs, etc. Also, decorations such as wreaths for doors or outside houses for each season, holiday, etc. Also, CURTAINS! I don't need people peeking on my sims...lol. I also would like more options for wallpaper, floor tiles and carpets, patio paving because frankly, the current ones are getting old.
Secondly, I think there should be a newspaper/reporting occupation. You could have staff photographers, reporters, interns, journalists, cameramen. With this, this could be interactive like the movie place and police station where you have customers/witnesses that you can fulfill to earn items to build up the newspaper/news/reporting workplace. Another interactive workplace could be fast food/restaurants where again you can have a waiter/waitress/hostess/cook/bus boy and customers. A bank is also another occupation that could be interactive with customers and tellers. For the mall you could add customers for more interactivity.
Third, more pet options. Specifically, I would LOVE to have a pug. 🙂 More clothing options for pets and leashes would be nice as well as a never-ending water/food dish, beds, and more. You could also create a kennel/pet boutique where people can work and do nail trimmings. hair cuts, washes for pets and be interactive.
These are just a few ideas....I have tons more if anyone from EA Games would like to contact me. I love the game, but I definitely see room for some additional things to make it more enjoyable. 🙂
