I must agree to it being a little boring not truly being able to interact with live player sims directly while visiting their towns, of coarse being able to send messages would be cool as well between neighbors in the game, leave messages if they are not online ect. But the game doesn't really leave any time to freely enjoy and play with the constant grinding in events. I'm personally hoping they scrap certain events altogether and just make prizes better and more worthy of all the efforts. I also feel the neighbor system being only available via FB as well as requirements of both friends must keep the game up to date and linked is most hindering to even having neighbors for those of us who do not carry random people from games in our FB friends lists. They should add another way first to have neighbors i think, then maybe add more realistic interactions. As for the burglar sim,bad ol' Robin Banks... heck yeah, this sim has been missed in this the sims freeplay experience. I have been playing sims since the original The sims before the sims living large expansion came out, played all the ps versions too, urbz, pets ect. I think adding random crime events would be a interesting twist for sure. I also miss being able to kill sims with drowning in the pool or being set on fire haha. Sometimes this is the healthy way to punish people we are at our wits end with in stead of in the real world.
