EA THE CLOTHES AND HAIR ARE U-G-L-Y GET SOMEONE ELSE TO DESIGN THEM!!!
I would love to see this in the game with a patch or EP.
1.sims go shopping...they have the option to really go shopping...they go in a store and you have the option of buying a new hairstyle or outfit from online other than what you have in your fashion feature bank (this would mean internet connection from within the game)...same with furnature, nic nacks...baby items...(a baby store where you can get tons of kids stuff)...you can even have funky stores where you can buy "love potion...happy juice or hunger helpers...
2.Specific event game play...making milestones more engaging...for example you can have a real sim wedding where you plan it, invite guests, go to an actual "wedding" shop, buy a dress or tux...pick out a cake, flowers,book a venue...decorate...etc. have the wedding amd get free stuff from guests, yet the more extravagent the event the more money it will be...(THIS is a HUGE event for women...think of the money EA would make on an expansion pack like this!)As a girl I know had Matel never come out with "Wedding Dazzle" barbie...I would have never bought the $37.00 Barbie Bridal Boutique...or the 1 Ken doll (who by the time i was 7 had been trough 18 divorces, 19 weddings all to different women) This is one of the biggest events in REAL peoples lives and our sims get 2 wedding dress choices, a lattus alter arch and a standing flower arrangement with petunias. Sims can even be in danger of their sim fiance not showing up at the alter...or even have an unexpected guest come in and wreck the whole "dream wedding"
3.Sims Vegas Adventure: have your sim gamble, where you play sims blackjack/ poker or slots (actually "play" the card games or slots) and can loose or win your whole sims entire lifes worth based on decisions...you can go to hot nightclubs...meet a sim from another town...eat a good meal at a swanky hotel lounge...shop "new shops"...(with new styles that arnt in your home down)or even elope.
4.Sims Sports- have sims go to a sim university football game, have your sim teens and adults be athletes....go to practice...work out to play better...our you can even have "teen crisis"...have them loose their scholarships if they dont keep up their GPA's..have them "get injured" if they make bad decisions, if they are at odds in their relationships they may play worse...they can win scholarships...become a pro...make millions..and even own thier own team when they grow up
5.Sims Super Stars...and I mean Celeb Sims. Have sims become SO popular and So good at acting or singing that other sims will not leave them alone.you can even have a sim who is a tripple threat. Have red carpet events, have "movie role choices that could make or break their careers...have hit songs or one hit wonders... the more they talk to the press, the better movies their in or the more friends they have...the more of a celeb they are. Have them check out sim city magazine to see if they make it as the #1 celeb in the world. Have bad press they have to clean up...interact with the wrong people....your whole celeb status could go down the tubes...you can even have your sim be a paparazi...where they have to trakc down the "it" sim to REALLY make the $$$
Sims have had enough of going potty,having lackluster woo hoo,working their 9-5, raising their "cooking skills", having babies and just getting old...only to play the same game all over...i'm a firm believer people play the sims to escape from the real world...people want their sims to do things they never would have even dreamed about being possible in real life....and on an end note...can the sims PLEASE speak an actual language...im tired of "blahdeh gwartblow"...and "onowanna huffin jargin"...think of how nice it would be to hear a sim say "hi, nice to meet you, I'm really into boating...how about you?"

BUT THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE BOTHERING ME:
NO BODY SHOP!
That sounds like either a too slow internet connection or a computer problem. Not an EA or game problem.
Are they stupid? I live for custom content. I bought the game cause I thought I'd still have it. Searching the game i got frustrated and went on the internet to find where it was and there it seys "NO BODY SHOP!"
I can't customize without bodyshop. And the make-up is awefull, you call that realism?
What I mean is, on the Sims 2 if you visited a community lot it would save your sims household and then you would go to the lot. On Sims 3 because the neighbourhood is all interlinked you don't get any of this.
I'm greatful for less loading screens, BUT, my problem is unless you personally remember to save your game at intervals there is no automatic saving.
Having played for a good 4 hours yesterday, my game decided to give up and crashed back to desktop. And of course, I'd forgotten to save at all as I was busy exploring the new features (I only got the game a few days ago) so I lost all my hours of gameplay. Luckily as i'm still experimenting I wasn't too annoyed that I'd lost my progress, but it made me realise that the saving when going to community lots was missing.
I would very much like to see some kind of auto-saving when you go to another lot or something along these lines at some points in the game so you don't have such a high risk of losing everything if you haven't remembered to save yourself.
No wedding cake, decorations, arches...
You can take toddlers and babies out with your sims now, but they
have to hold them all the time. They have no buggies! :-o
There is not much to do with children sims.
You cant see your sims while they work, eat etc.
I would love to see my sims performing concerts in the theater and watching or playing games at the stadium...
I miss pets, apartment life, seasons and Christmas!
It gets very boring playing the same family/sim all the time. I have started several new games with new sims so I dont get bored...And why cant
sims get in their cars like normal instead of magically appearing in them? And why do they drive through sims and other cars?
And how many pregnant woman about to give birth do you know that jump in their car or on their bike and drive/ride themselves to the hospital?
All the crummy stuff is in the game, and all the best things are on the store so you have to pay to get a new kitchen set!
Wasnt £40 on the actual game enough? :?
There are about amillion and one things I could mention but I am bored of typing :P
...on the plus side I like the open neighborhood...
1. You can't lock doors! You might not want your sim to go into a certain room, so you would lock the door. But now you can't.
2. There is no curly hair! Which is a pain, because I can't make a sim of myself.
I've discovered that too, especially lately as we've hit monsoon season, which means random power fluxes or power outages. So far, it's only happened twice, but both times I had just gotten promotions and then Ihad to wait for them to roll around again.
I'm horrendously horrible at remembering to save as I'm so used to auto saving everything (that's how I keep my writings from disappearing) I agree that there should be an auto save feature that pops up say after a big event, like a birth or death or promotion, something that you don't want to redo (unless the death was unintentional).
You know, I seriously can't remember if I posted here or not. :oops: If I have, sorry for the repeat, if not - I have to say at this point, the one thing that really bugs me is the family relationships. I'm seriously getting annoyed that I have to introduce my sims constantly to members of their family.
Especially now when I seem to have gotten a legacy going. They all in within the same distance (four of the five siblings live next door to each other) and every time they come over, it's like 'friendly introduction', where they actually shake hands. I did get to the point where a couple will wave, but when I have to ask my parents if I can come inside a house in which I have lived my whole life is ridiculous.
I'm especially annoyed that when married sims die, they get divorced. Another thread mentioned it was so the surviving sim could date again, but we NEVER had that in Sims 2. Look at Mortimer Goth. When Bella "died" (disappeared), his memories didn't show they divorced, just that she was gone and I still got him to marry Dina Caliente. It sucks because I brought back the founders of my family as ghosts and now matter what I do, they can't fall back in love. The wife even has a boyfriend I get rid of. It completely screws up my family! :evil: :evil:
As much as the memory system could get on my nerves in Sims 2, I seriously wish it was back, if only to aid in this severely wretched family system. Every family member should be aware when their brother (in my case) has a baby or gets married. I don't care if they do live in seperate houses, how do you not find out about your kid brother's wedding? Yes, yes, I know there are ways, but let's pretend this is a happy Walton family LOL
Wow, I didn't mean to go on a rant, but that's the one thing that just irks me. I can now live with the lack of hair (thank you modders of the world!), I can live with the lack of free stuff in the store, I can live with the screwyness of Story Progression (thank you Indie Stone!), but I just can't live with this.
This also bothers me. The cars are cool. There are a lot more to chose from than TS2 but it is pointless if they're too dumb to use them for work and such.
i totally agree i hate waiting outside the building for them to finish!
:x
seriously all my simmies look the same!!
