I'd love to see some returning Sims, especially if they're used to demonstrate a new system in the game. Otherwise, what do they offer that I can't create myself?
Take the Kat family, for instance. Ginia or Tara were both crazy cat ladies in previous games. But what makes them a crazy cat lady?
Well, what if they bring back Fears and Aspiration Failure from TS2? Tara could have the Soulmate aspiration (she was a Family Sim in TS2, so this is roughly equivalent, as she has no children yet), but when you start the game, she's about to get married, because she wants to start a family.
But lo and behold, her fiancee starts the game with the Noncommittal trait (which would need some tweaks for this to work). So, when she gets to the wedding arch, he freaks out and leaves her at the altar, which triggers a Fear of "being left at the altar" and sends her spiralling into Aspiration Failure.
She then becomes Very Sad, rolls several cat-related whims. "Buy a Cat" could appear several times in a row (thus prompting her to buy lots and lots of cats) in addition to "Buy a Cat Condo", "Buy a Pet Bowl", and so on.
I started playing in S3. From S3, I would like to see Gunther Goth, Mrs. Crumplebottom, and the blond lady that worked in the nectory place when you went on vacation in France. There is one that kind of resembles her now. She has a white/tan top and long grey skirt in S4 with her hair up.
