    I'd love to have *old* old people - with pronounced wrinkles, canes, walkers. They could get more cranky and cantankerous. Maybe they have to go to the hospital and have the medical staff fuss over them. Or they could have dementia and walk around forgetting what they were about to do. Sort of like the "absent-minded" trait in the Sims 3 but more pronounced. Yes I know most people wouldn't want that, but that's what this thread is about, right? :wink:

    There's a lot of ideas on how to improve the family tree, but one the feature I'd like to see is creating Sims just for sake of the family tree. It wouldn't have to be very expanded, let's say one generation back. It's just sometimes weird for me starting with a single Sim that has no trace of the past. It'd be nice to have that little detail without killing cheats etc.

    If you make two sims then play with genetics your sim will have blank parent spots in the family tree. You can delete the sims you used to play with genetics and change your sim around and it should still hang around. At least this worked for me in august last year, I also think it is weird how new sims have no ancestry and was looking for a way to get some. :)

    Passwords for computers. I'm tired of random sims using my sim's computers. You invite a sim over and the first thing they do is use your computer.

    Or drink 10,002 water glasses then set them all over your house.

    Sims should be able to get soda and apple juice from the fridge.

    @BeJaWa Oh, but do you need to place created Sims in the world? Because I know it works that way, I've done it myself :) To be exact, I've killed my ancestors to delete them... I'd rather have something like the option in the family tree itself, though. Something like, let's say, the option 'Create parents' when click on your Sim's portrait in the family tree. Then it brings you to 'semi-CAS' mode where you can create two Sims, maybe even in just one outfit for the portrait. After that, the game would show them in the genealogy, but they won't be anywhere in the world, so there would be no need for deleting them etc.

    Thank you for sharing your idea for workaround anyway!

    I wasn't needing to place them. I could delete them before I finished the family in CaS. I don't have time today to open up my game and test stuff, but I'll try to test it again. If I get it to work I'll show you in PM alright :)

    Why do I vaguely remember being able to take a "cold one" from the cooler in Outdoor Retreat?

    I'd like for extended relatives to automatically know each other. Now that the family tree in my current save is getting bigger, it's odd to me when people don't know their nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws etc. I like having family gatherings for birthdays and weddings and it makes it difficult when nobody knows each other.

    That was in the sims 3. You could get a "cold one" from the mini fridge that came with University Life.

    The fact that they took that out makes me want a "cold one.'

    Something I really want somehow is life insurance. Like for example you play the black widow challenge - wouldn't it be really cool if you could marry a rich sim whom had a life insurance? I mean you could kill him and then just cash that money and so on. The cops could even get suspicious and you would have to lay low for a while... And more deaths! Funerals, mortician (maybe even as an active one) as a job, graveyards, the ghost job thingy in TS3 - supernatural beings we never had before (orcs, centaur, Harpy just to name a few).

    Secret crushes that will only be that - a crush - maybe teens have a crush on a teacher! They could secretly talk during class with their best friends about how handsome or beautiful the teacher looks (maybe a +2 happy buff 'Secret crush' if they are not caught talking and a +2 embarrassed one if the teacher heard it).

    One sided romances! Its not realistic if every romance is wanted from both sides. Sometimes you love someone and they just don't see you in that way.

    And for the love of god - make me be able to deactivate the mobiles! Give me back the good old ones I could hang on the wall! Really miss that...

    owww.... This thread reminds me of so much I can't have because I'm likely the only one wanting that stuff.

    Edit: Got another one! Traveling fees. Like if you travel from Newcrest (your home) to the gym in Willow Creek you had to pay 50 bucks for traveling fees. Oh and fees to use the gym and other community lots with activity's (except parks)

    Someone else mentioned it, and now I really, really want strollers in the game. I think it would be so cute to take babies and toddlers out in strollers :D

    I'd like to see more traits. Not just basic traits though. Kind of like phases, but we can choose them.

    That way we could choose if our teen was a rebellious, school skipping, vandalizer. Or maybe they're a good two shoes and do everything perfect. It's a trait that would only last for that age stage, like while they're a child, teen, and even elders. Is old Mr. Potts cranky and mean or does he like to invite the kids over to play Voidcritters? It'd be nice because people do act differently in different parts of life.

    Sims 2 had inheritance when your elder sim died. The amount depended on their aspiration level, relationship with family/friends. Good times.

    Sims 2 style memories. I really miss those.

    I know they want to keep there t rating but why not just add an 18+ expansion pack that way if people don't want it they don't have it but for people that want more realistic they can have it.

    Mine are a little more cruel lol, for sake of a storyplay I wanted my sim to be able to lose her child (she was pregnant) but I dont think its possible in any of the games without a mod. Things that people play to escape from in the sims is what i want in it.

    I agree though it may sound cruel. I haven't seen a miscarriage mod that would randomly cause the sim to no longer be pregnant, Ones to terminate a pregnancy but that really isn't the same thing

    I would really like demons and angels as playable supernaturals. I highly doubt it would happen though. I wrote a comic based on a couple of demons who come to Earth to trick people. I play them as sims in my game now, but alas they are just human. ^^

    Demons and angels would be fun to see. I think there are some mods out there that might let you do that.

    I would love werewolves, actual Ghostbusters, hunters of the occult and supernatural (like Sam and Dean from Supernatural), majik users like John Constantine and Doctor Strange, Wizards like Tim Hunter from which Harry Potter was allegedly stolen from (Don't get me wrong I love Harry Potter but I love Tim Hunter from Books of Magic even more from his adventures in the Land of Faeries to fighting demons from which they came and he came out BEFORE Harry Potter. I would also love to see something like Ghost Rider.
