I would enjoy it if EA returned a brilliant feature from TS2. TestingCheats used to enable you to drag skill levels to change them, if you entered it in the neighborhood and then played. I'd love to see that back.

Boy do I love being able to drag the skills up with just a click of a button. If Sims 3 could patch this up, I'd be all over the cheat immediately, I bet Esther would approve of this suggestion as well!

Certainly it'll be just another cheat not allowed in one's immortal dynasty, or Tournaments.

Seabody, that cheat is been all I've been waiting for since I started playing the game!

With that cheat, my legacy (I use cheats on my legacy) would go a lot, lot faster than it does currently!

I still stand by a simple addition that I have wanted for ages which is proper manicures and pedicures with coloured nails and everything, I know they won't be that obvious when you're actually playing, but its just a nice customisation. I know people will just say there is CC for it, but I never use CC, so doesn't work well

I also want more jewellery, when I watched the Showtime live feed, I was so happy to see new earings and bracelets

I think they should add board games that can be bought for Sims! For kids and adults alike. Games like Candy Land and Shoots and Ladders for children and then games like Balderdash and Taboo for adults! And even Memory for kids which should increase logic. I just think it would be a fun option just to see the sims all sitting around the table playing a game together.

Sims 2 had a poker table. It could be fun for your suggestion, MomofMany, and also just as a fun bar item. If I recall correctly, the sims won (or lost) money, too. Hidden poker skill!

I want Sims to be able to own more then one house and I'm not talking about vacation homes. They could switch them at will, and maybe even rent them to other Sims. There should also an ability to rent a house or apartment instead of buying it. It would be extra income for a Sim renter and if a family didn't have the money outright for a nicer house, they could still have it.

Always, always, always wanted nails as well! And totally agree with the jewellery, there just isn't enough!

Awesome idea!! I had never thought of that one but gosh, wouldn't that be cool?

I really love the idea of board games too, and lol if we could make our sims become gamblers.

Wasn't there a las-vegas poker club themed set thing on the store a few months back? Clue to further expansion, perhaps..?

(I am saying that way too much all over the forum now.

The two biggest things I want are the option to disable memories, and the switching of different makeup for different outfit categories. Memories take so much room in the game (no pun intended), and I think EA should give us the option to enable or disable memories themselves.

Makeup: I like to do different makeup in real life, so why can't I do it with my Sims? It's no different than picking a hairstyle, with your outfit category, really. So I think it should be done, like say, light springy makeup for everyday, red lipstick for formal, no makeup for athletic, swimming or sleep.

I agree. A number of my users find both those abilities quite handy.

Hopefully EA will choose to add them for the regular user-base as well.

jeanamariex3 · « **Reply #1509 on:** February 06, 2012, 07:19:43 PM »

Agreed. I think that another useful idea of a feature EA should add is an in-game scanner. Not a virus scanner for CC specifically but more for corrupt save, cache, and backup files. I'm not saying EA has to put a band-aid and make everything better. There are less tech savvy people out there, who don't know how to go through their folders and delete any corrupt files in their game.

I want parents to not autonomously punish their children. I don't like the way punishing works in Sims. It makes the game too realistic.

Deborah · « **Reply #1510 on:** February 06, 2012, 08:04:46 PM »

I would like the see a book that holds a sims memories in it. Like a Photo album that a sim can pick up and read, maybe while they are reading there will be thought bubbles to do with what the sim is looking at.

amyrose · « **Reply #1511 on:** February 06, 2012, 08:23:21 PM »

I want cushions for sofas. You should be able to pick a sofa as per normal, and then pick cushions to go on it. They would be independent objects, and could also be put on the floor and sat on. They could also be used to decorate beds. My bed in real life has three or four cushions just used decoratively so the bed looks pretty when it is made. Sim beds have always struck me as a tad bare.

I also want child sims to be able to sleep with a bear cuddled up in their arms, just like real children do.

In other words, you want throw pillows. Those would be cool. A blanket that sims could roll out by the fireplace to snuggle would be fun too. It would also be cool to have free downloadable content from the store for movie posters. maybe every month, a set that has posters for the movies coming out that month. As well as a backlog of other movie posters. It would be sweet to have posters for the Lord of the rings movies, or Transformers, or any other action flick. Or ...*shivers* Twilight.

alex51299 · « **Reply #1513 on:** February 06, 2012, 11:55:23 PM »

Well in order to do that EA would have to get permission to use those posters in their games.

folcon · « **Reply #1514 on:** February 07, 2012, 12:02:15 AM »

I realise this. It wouldn't be the first time they have had licenced item sets.

Yes, there have been quite a few licensed products in the Sims. There are even a couple Simlish versions of real songs that play on the various radio stations. I don't really know how the licensing works for them, but I'd imagine that it costs them money somewhere along the line. It's hard to say how much they're willing to afford.

or Hunger Games for the win!

Throw pillows would be cool. That little accent those pain sofas and couchs are missing.

Yes, I do. I'm from the UK and we call them cushions.

I thought of a couple more things I would like to see added. Sims should be able to buy a DVD player, and various movies on DVD (maybe linked to the film career in LN). The whole family could sit down and watch the latest blockbuster! I would also like it if TVs could be placed in different places rather than just on the floor or wall. You could have them on kitchen counters, or perched on top of furniture like a desk or shelving.

I wish we could adjust the height of taking photographs. I mean how many photographers only take pictures standing straight up and never crouching/bending down for a better angle?

jeanamariex3 · « **Reply #1519 on:** February 13, 2012, 12:09:13 AM »

I hope this doesn't sound too silly, but the human traits, Loves/Hates the Outdoors, should also be a pet trait exclusively for cats. It could really define whether a cat is an indoor or an outdoor type, just like the real world. I could see them getting that mood benefit from being in or outside, like their owners do. Perhaps they can supposedly get along with Sims that have the same trait, same way supposedly a clueless pet gets along with absent minded and easily impressed Sims, as well as nervous horses supposedly get along with Neurotic Sims.

I just thought of this. What about a game programer career? It would be so neat to be able to create video games. It would be like the novels from writing were each type of game would show as the same even if it had a different title. It would be a nice career for computer whizzes.

I would love to do that. As a kid (like 5) my dream was to be a worker at Nintendo. Then a magazine I read called Nintendo Power released an article called "Do you have what it takes to be a programmer?" and it smashed my dreams into the dirt.
...Still keep my hopes up, though.

Lol I see it now: your Sims design their own Sims game, and suddenly your Sims are playing the Sims, too! Reminds me of a comedy video I saw a while back about a proposed video game called "World of 'World of Warcraft'" where you play a guy who plays World of Warcraft.

Thank you Zap.

@Hosfac: On Free Time, I remember that Rod Humble made himself into a Sim, and delivered computers to people, so the ~~Sims~~ player could preview Sims 3. I think it would be cool if Showtime, or the expansion pack after that could give us some sort of in-game preview to Sims 4, or any Sims Spinoffs/Stand Alone games.

xFezIsAFreakx · « **Reply #1524 on:** February 13, 2012, 03:36:00 PM »

I'm hardly bothered about previews to Sims 4. I feel EPs and SPs come too fast as it is, nevermind Sims 4 scheduled in 2014. Jeez, that's when I expect to finish my new legacy, never mind start a whole new TS4 obsession!
