Sims: High life

Stormcat3

I was thinking of having an expansion pack which would contain special "rich people" features. Sort of a combination of Mansion stuff, nightlife, and superstar. These are just some ideas for stuff there could be:

-a special "Country Club" lot which costs money for the right to enter (unless a Sim is invited by a member) with access to things like reduced-price spa treatments, special drinks, "cosmetic surgery", Random party invitations, a "casino" where a sim might earn some money, a marina with yachts, and a "Party room" which the members can use at any time.

-The ability to hire a butler again.

-A bunch of new cars, including limousines. Also, the ability to hire a chauffeur.

-Come to think of it, add a whole slew of personal servants you can hire Poolboy/girl, caterers, massage therapists, personal trainers, Personal assistant and acting coach (it will also be available for the sims to apply for these jobs.)

-Yachts, these don't have to go anywhere, just have them be owned/rented by sims to use for parties or to replenish some needs.

-New architecture elements, such as the sweeping staircase, crystal chandelier, elevators and stages.

-New objects sich as a personal golf course (one hole, obviously) massage table, yoga mat, hot tubs, vanities, recording booth, and new fountains.

-New Jobs. Actor/Actress, Socialite, Dancer, Event Planner and Talent Agent. Some existing jobs (Athlete, Music, Business) will also receive a "celebrity" option.

-The ability to turn metal and gems into objects.

-The Home-owners association. Run by a lady who looks like Miss Crumplebottom, she will reprimand you if you leave stuff out on the lawn, leave your garage door open, or have a garden in bad shape. Alternatively, she may give you a reward for a perfect garden.

Any other ideas?

I like your ideas. Although I myself normally play families in the middle and upper middle – class range and rarely play with wealth families these will still make nice additions to the game for story progression. I really like the country club idea because that would mean golf, and I would love to see my Sims play golf (being an avid golfer myself). However, I would really like to see the yacht move. I want to also add the real estate career to your list of new careers. I think that this career would be a nice addition to your idea because your Sims could start of as an ambitious realtor and work their way up to a real estate mogul. It would be really comical if they had a Donald Trump Sim in the game (but of course with a different rhythmic name).

The Country Club sounds interesting. I'd love the Butler to come back. Turning metals and gems into objects, also sounds interesting. I'm not sure about, The Home-owners association, didn't quite grasp what that was about. Is it just another crabby character that picks on home-owners?

If golf courses make an appearance in TS3, I would seriously SERIOUSLY like it to be more than just "One hole", I'd want it to be more in-depth than that. (I vision a whole golf course 'full 18 holes', fully interactive, golf carts, beautiful scenery, the works!). Sadly, I think I've lucked out. In the medical career, there is an option to "Play Golf" to raise your Sims fun while at work, I think that's about as in-depth as they're going to go with "Golf".

I like this idea, and I desperately miss the butler, and the other servants, I like that idea too.
