I would like the idea much better if you would focus on fixing the Criminal career paths (buggy as SNOT) and adding Education to the careers benefited by a University degree first.
I think it would be great if The Sims Team would look into the worlds of 'The Jetsons' and 'The Flintstones'. Those are two cool areas to explore.
If you can go into the past, it would be nice to get some sort of dinosaur or extinct animal as a pet. Or if the past includes a medieval world, a dragon might be a nice addition (think of The Sims Makin' Magic) - but just a bigger, scarier type of dragon that can protect it's family, socialise and give special moodlets (like unicorns).
Future... mmm, tricky one. The Jetson's have flying vehicles. Their tv's are like holograms. Suzie (the robot) can do pretty much everything, but Servo is cooler though. The city is supposed to be totaly awesome! Oooooh, what about scary space monsters? Tubes that suck people to the next floor of a building?
For some reason, the past seems to interest me more than the future. There's so much more you can look into there.
I hope it helped. Have fun creating the expansion pack!
I am not impressed with the whole traveling to the future thing, I would rather an open for business, or a different original idea, like more game options such as create-a-world for all computers or Open for Business.
B:Open all rabbit Holes or have nothing but Open venue for all rabbit holes, this is the future I don't want to see rabbit holes in it.
C:Open for business would be a great job idea to add to this game, New career Resturant owner, Daycare owner, Dinner owner, Theater owner, Bookstore owner, Foral Shop onwer, Food store owner(shop there like you would the Veggie carts in mona vista world) And Hire your employees by picking them out of the neighborhood.You can fire, hire, layoff or dismis them.
new objects Cash register for all job types, New computer for business(CEO companys) Then use the theme items that go with each business.(I mean each Item works or dose something in the game,Not fake items for show.)
E: Space type cars, Space type bus,trains that move in the open neighborhood.(New Transport type rides, Like ride the train or ride the bus at the bus stop)
F: Make this Ep better than all the other by adding new interactions for children, and Elders,Cause the children are the future and the elders shape the future.
G: Focus on infants interaction for traits for infants, Smart Milk or brain food, playpen,walkers like the store contant.(make twins of those items not the same as the store ones)
H: Fun new socializing like coffee chat (chose the topic of conversation while chating.(Example talk about Aleins in busines or something fun)
I:Zoo's of Alien animals (future need alot of cool things to look at)
interactions for the animals and sims.
J:household pets have new interations, maga dig (dogs can super dig big holes in the yard, Cats laser Clow (cats can clow though items by cutting them in half, (This the Future I want to see really cool idea's) No Stupid Half done stuff!
K: houses have moving windows and shades (That is cool and we don't have that)
L:Shoping venues For clothes and Toys, Every Open venue has a job add to the game(NO RABBIT HOLES)
M:Big screens with cool future stuff on it all around the neighbor hood.
N: 2 Different Styles of the future hood(Clean land where the player can put the open lots and homes where every they want too.(No Already Made hood: UNLESS OPt 2 They can pick to have the lot premade
O: People greet each other and remember that person so they dont have to greet them again, unless invited to the sims lot, evey one says bye at the end while leaving.
P: I want to see more family closeness as it relates to the sims traits.
(NEED WAY MORE INTNERACTIONS)
Q:If it is the future then all the cool future stuff in the store should have a cooler twin in this game.(no remade objects)
R:Also Open neighborhood school(do it like the union Building in the sims university EP)
Hey, No Rabbit HOles,(We have those now, dont want them in the future, So DONT HURRY THOUGH THIS EP)
That is my Idea for this EP and I hope it is Great, if not I will not buy it. But I well wait for it to come out by watching reviews on the game play. Just a Thought this has to BE BETTER THEN THE OTHER EPs for me to spend my money on it. So EA you better bring it! Cause I wont preorder this game.
I posted in the other topic but I'll post here too, as I'm really excited about this whole time travel thing.
• What does a future Utopia look like in The Sims 3 in your mind? How would you imagine the environment, buildings, and other visual parts of the world to look?
There would be less nature and more technology for sure. The houses would be either very high weird shaped skyscrapers or little domes under the ground. Of course it would depend on how well my sims are doing in the present, and if they're not helping to keep the future nice and clean, some of the buildings would look destroyed and unusable, the sky would be darker and there would be swamps.
• If your Sim is hanging out in the future, where would they spend most of their time?
High above ground of course! There could be a walkway high in the air between different skyscrapers, so my sims could walk between the cafe and the bookstore without even going outside. The elevators are so annoying to be honest, so this way they can be avoided.
• If there were robots in the future and they could be part of your household, what would you like them to do?
They could do the things robots did in TS2, that means cleaning up, putting out fires and stopping the burglars.
• Name a few of the new careers you’d most enjoy for your Sims in a future setting.
Something that has to do with the Sims minds. It could be called Mind Manager and the first career levels would be a regular psychologist, a behaviour expert and moodlet guesser. After the 5th level there would be an option to choose the good side or the bad side. The good side would have careers such as Dream Designer and Moodraiser, while the bad side would have Nightmare Master and Mind Manipulator.
• In the future setting, what activities would you like your Sims to partake in?
Jetpack flying
• Name a few objects you’d love to see in a Sims’ future.
Glowing stuff. Teleportation pads for everyone. Hovercars. Dinner pills (sim eats a pill and it feels like a serving of lobster thermidor).
• Are there any existing objects that you’d envision transforming in the future and if so, which ones?
Well, I already mentioned hovercars. Things could be more round in shape, like beds and chairs.
• How would you expect your Sims’ lives to be affected by traveling back and forth to the future?
They shouldn't be able to travel too often, so that they'd have some time between the trips to make adjustments in the present. By seeing how things are in the future they either change something in the present or keep everything as it is, depending on what they want the future to be like. If they're on the good side and the future is nice, they get a good moodlet from it, but if it's not as imagined they get a bad moodlet.
What does a future Utopia look like in The Sims 3 in your mind? How would you imagine the environment, buildings, and other visual parts of the world to look?
It would look Like lunar lake But with new feautres like flying cars! I imagine that it will have tall buliding and Flying cars and Flying Parks!! And power that will alow you Fly LOL it would be cool and you guys must make malls and WE CAN TRAVEL TO THE MOON AND MEET MOON PEOPLE ALL ALIEN AND TRAVEL TO THE MARS AND MEET SOME WERID THING AND WE CAN MAKE NEW DEATH BY GOING TO SUN AND WE CAN TRAVEL ALL AROUND SPACES FROM PLANET TO OTHER AND WE CAN LIVE THERE IF WE WANT
If your Sim is hanging out in the future, where would they spend most of their time?
I think the park unless you guys make a mall like shopping mall
If there were robots in the future and they could be part of your household, what would you like them to do?
They can clean a house fast and cook fast and they dont have to sleep and yeah they can travel to past and feautre
Name a few of the new careers you’d most enjoy for your Sims in a future setting.
i would like to see A Judge AND Pilot and fashion desinger and saler in mall
In the future setting, what activities would you like your Sims to partake in?
Like go to the moon or mars and Do activites or Just vaction in moon and mars
Name a few objects you’d love to see in a Sims’ future?
Memory eraser
How would you expect your Sims’ lives to be affected by traveling back and forth to the future?
Nice ideas everyone. Here is my ideas for the future pack.
What does a future Utopia look like in The Sims 3 in your mind? How would you imagine the environment, buildings, and other visual parts of the world to look?
The future should look very different from the present. It would be cool if you had 3 different future places to explore. First there would be the rich prosperous future city. This place would have tall skyscrapers, glass tubes, some grassy areas, and of course air-speeders flying all around. So the future city would like like a mix between these two pics.
The next place would be the corrupt future city. This place would look like the city in the movie Bladerunner. The city would have skyscrapers, but it would have a more industrious feel, with steam, polluted air. It would have a darker look, be crowded, and there would be a noticeable gap between the rich and poor. The lower area would have future market stalls, be really crowed, and filled with petty crimes (for example, pickpocketing). You could visit dingy clubs, where you can get a quick drink, or watch a brawl. However, the taller skyscraper buildings, would be where the rich live, and would consist of business centers, and high-rise clubs (with poker tables, plush couches, nice drinks. [use the nightlife style bar in these clubs.]
Finally, if you visited either future world (prosperous or corrupt)you could use a spaceship, (or maybe find one) to visit an alien city. This city should have weird curvy buildings, glass domes, strange trees, and other oddities. Make the place look strange. Fill the place with aliens as well as human visitors (for example the aliens from seasons). You could including this like spacerock cafe's.
If your Sim is hanging out in the future, where would they spend most of their time?
In the prosperous city, my sims would be hanging out either on the sidewalks next to the water, in one of the many future parks, in the galactic community pool.
In the corrupt city my sims would be hanging out either in one of the dingy clubs on the low levels watching a brawl and cheering on their favorite sim, or in the high rise clubs, calling the waiter to serve them another drink as they play poker or watch the dancing holograms. (This would be a good area to put in the restaurant podium)
In the alien city, my sims would be exploring the alien zoo filled with other creatures. They would get the options to watch, feed, or attempt to pet the creatures. The last option wouldn't be recommended on all creatures.
Name a few of the new careers you’d most enjoy for your Sims in a future setting.
Freighter pilot, smuggler, galactic banker, starship mechanic or builder.
In the future setting, what activities would you like your Sims to partake in?
In the prosperous city, sims would be able to use air speeders. Children and high would also get the ability to fly around on air-boards (and perform tricks). Other activities sims would do is hang out at the galactic pool, (a beautiful outdoor pool near or in a park with pool slides). Finally, sims could play virtual catch or virtual tennis or something similar with other sims, or alone with a hologram by using some object.
In the corrupt city, sims would be able to play poker in the high-rise clubs, they could also do brawl in the seeder dingy clubs on the bottom. Other activities would include watching dancing holograms and learning new belly dance.
In the alien world, sims would be able to visit the alien zoo explained above. They could also learn a new alien greeting, try new alien foods, and be experimented on (turns your sim into different creatures depending on what expansion pack you have).
Name a few objects you’d love to see in a Sims’ future?
Virtual reality station or helmet (can play virtual tennis or catch with others or with a hologram), an object similar to the uber sani-sim toilet, an object like the sharper sim's super sleeper, object like the not so routine machine, Robot/android, holograms, mind controller (temporary control sim).
How would you expect your Sims’ lives to be affected by traveling back and forth to the future?
Sims may get dizzy or travel sickness. Sims may get board of their current life and get a moodlet to want to return to the future after an amount of time(depends on traits. For example, adventurous and daredevil sims would want to go back, while family oriented sims would be happy back in their current home.) May cause a midlife crisis (with all that excitement, sims want to change their lives now).
True Love
Terrific Family Play
Too fun The sims 2 forever
Things I'd like to see: arcologies (single-building cities) or satellite habitats (the Gerard O'Neill ones would be most realistic), careers that take you around the solar system, vacations (a la World Adventures) to alien sites discovered in the Solar system. Cybernetic enhancements, as well as robot butlers, pets, et al.
Cloning of sims and pets (while I know it's possible to make identical sims in a household, it's not necessarily easy). Psionic abilities. Flat top haircuts for men. Retro-future stuff sets (as you might see in the Jetsons, or Buck Rogers serials), as well as cyberpunk stuff sets.
What does a future Utopia look like in The Sims 3 in your mind? How would you imagine the environment, buildings, and other visual parts of the world to look?
I imagine the buildings either extremely tall apartments (like late night buildings) or for the richer Sims, large domes with the rooms underground. The environment is doing very badly, no real plants except in indoor parks and gardens. All other plants are fake (made from plastic or medal-like stuff) I see it having large walls around the town, to protect them from evil creatures (I say creatures so you can decide what)
If your Sim is hanging out in the future, where would they spend most of their time?
Your Sims spend most of their time at work or at their home, the air is too bad to be anywhere else. If they aren't in either of those places they are at the robot shop, to build their own little friends.
If there were robots in the future and they could be part of your household, what would you like them to do?
They should be able to do just as much as a sim can! Clean the house, cook,protect another, fix objects,paint,mix drinks, Have friends and enemies, etc. But whatever skill you build them on (example level 3 in robotics) your robot had all level 3 skills (Cooking level 3, Painting level 3, etc.)
Name a few of the new careers you’d most enjoy for your Sims in a future setting.
robotics expert (self-employed for robotics)
Computer programmer
Space Protector (Goes into space instead of a rabbit hole)
Cloner (someone who clones for a living)
Brain Hacker (can be used for good or evil)
Forecaster (goes around town trying to tell people of past/future)
Town Security (keeps eyes out for evil creatures in a lab)
In the future setting, what activities would you like your Sims to partake in?
I would like them to play video games, read on tablets , Talk on hologram (telephone), and stuff like that
Name a few objects you’d love to see in a Sims’ future.
A hover board/ hover car
An air freshener that purifies the air in your house (in future, no more social need, air need because of pollution)
A robotics station
Memory eraser (takes 24 hours and can be cured by hospitable)
Are there any existing objects that you’d envision transforming in the future and if so, which ones?
almost everything!
Holographic screens replace computer and t.v.
medal trees
Arches that you just have to walk through to clean and use the bathroom
Ovens/barbeques are very small (like microwave sized)and have food "packets" instead of ingredients
Beds are horizontal tubes (single, double and bunk Style)
Chairs lost their backs (stools only)
Bars are like ovens, wait then pull your drink out
Playgrounds for kids fit inside (size of a small room)
Easels paint for you (upgrades make better paintings)
Hot tubs now are the same as the tube-beds
How would you expect your Sims’ lives to be affected by traveling back and forth to the future?
You sim will get lazier, more scared/nervous,and more knowledgeable the more/longer they travel to the future
Just had to say, when you said evil creatures I was picturing the Zombies have finally taken over! LOL Actually I pray not, because the zombies are about to drive me over the edge.
What does a future Utopia look like in The Sims 3 in your mind? How would you imagine the environment, buildings, and other visual parts of the world to look?
Lots of buildings with more than one purpose, glass buildings and lots of places to view the future world, little areas of greenery surrounded by buildings, glass bridges from lot to lot (I don't like the idea of tubes taking you everywhere...
If your Sim is hanging out in the future, where would they spend most of their time?
At the top of tall buildings looking over the land, viewing strange creatures in museum/zoo things, referencing certain British time travel programmes...
If there were robots in the future and they could be part of your household, what would you like them to do?
Have various styles and makes, maybe act like pets but with useful features!
Name a few of the new careers you’d most enjoy for your Sims in a future setting.
Time traveller/Time traveller's companion...
Futuristic tour guide?
Alien creature biologist...thingy...
Robot developer
Studior of events in time...
In the future setting, what activities would you like your Sims to partake in?
Hover car racing! Documenting alien life! Maybe woohoo in a museum exibit or two?
Name a few objects you’d love to see in a Sims’ future.
More plants, maybe more like the cowplant, hovering...everything, windows that become tvs, zero gravity tanks/rooms.
I'll probably expand more later but I'm on my phone. I don't have time to check this for mistakes and answer the other questions...
I think that people who upload items to the exchange should be required to have their item scanned by sims and then verified so that when people download items from the exchange they can be confident they are not getting a virus or corrupt file.
I was never interested in this idea for an EP, and although I'm trying to get into it in some way, I just can't. Not so far, at least. I'm glad for the people who are excited about it however. I realize not everyone will be pleased with every EP or SP, and that's okay.
That being said, while I don't have a lot of ideas about this, I have to say I don't like the way the future was imagined in past decades, to be all space-aged and shiny and smooth, with flying cars and magic this and that that just with the push of a button, would provide you with something, such as a full meal, despite that not being possible, or necessary, imo. Anyway, my mind is open, and I'm hoping to be sold on the idea of a TimeTravel EP. I hope there is some good thinking about it, out-of-the-box and not just putting things in without real thought to how it would be. I know lots of people like the idea of flying cars, but I've read a lot of science articles and such that have discussed this and why it's really not feasible...and again, I would add, necessary.
I'm hoping the future will depict what is more likely to happen if we go forth from where we are now. For example, there is a big effort on conservation, of both the flora and the fauna. That would have to amount to something. It either fails, and we have less of those things, and more of the problems associated with less of those things, or we are successful. What might success look like?...We might, because of air quality and temperature change that we are experiencing, have to resort to biodomes in the future. I could easily see large domes to house and protect both plant and animal life. I wish I had more to add on the subject, but so far, that's really all I have...I just don't want the cliche form of the future, that's all. I would also hope that the EP is somewhat a positive imagining, not without problems of course, but also not some negative, dark, drudgery of existence. There are all kinds of things that we are working on for fuel alternatives, or to desalinize water, and things like that. I would think that anything dealing with the future would have a heavy part in science-related things.
I really wanted the either the farm EP or the mountain resort EP, so I'm disappointed, but have hope that there will be something I would value in the EP that winds up being made.
There could be a robot making carrear with a robot making skill.The career isn't going to be a rabbot hole.With the skill,you could make figting robots,that you could sell to the military or use them to get rid of your pesky neibor,You could also make service robots,That serve you kind of like a servo.You could also decide what your robot looks like.You could have several different skins to choose from,such as servos,or simbots,and you custimize it.
I just want to support you guys on the creation of the expansion
• Certainly I imagine the future being more ecofiendly in some way, there may be flying cars? I dont really know how that would play out but surely a change in transportation is in order.
• If my sims hangs up in the future I think I will probably spend my time meeting my future family LOL and of course going to futuristic bars is not a bad idea
• Robots? Im not a very big fan of them but if there are I would like them to help around the house, be able to help children with homework, and advice sims in their love life. If they could transform into some objects it would be nice
• I would like to see change in the medical career in the future, the military one, the ambitions'profession
• I would love for my sims to go in flying cars races, or playing a sport
• Name a few objects you’d love to see in a Sims’ future.
• Definitely new objects would be a flying car, robot cats and dogs,IDK about horses it would just be weird. A bed that can transform into a shower or give you the ability to eat on the bed! Im just brainstorming
• Okay so I want every change in the past to affect the future, for example if my sim is married and i go to the future and im elderly living with my spouse and when i go back home I break them up that would change the entire future so I think that will be hard to do in the constant change in my playing style. Also, maybe his experience can gain them a boost on their careers and skills.
Im just brainstorming here, hope I helped
I think this is a great idea. And Corey785's mention of "Back to the Future" is intriguing. Remember, the future they visited in that movie was in 2015! That's right around the corner.
But, let's not assume such a world would, necessarily, be a over populated metropolis, such as Isamov's "Caves of Steel". It could be like a world from one of Larry Niven's books in which everyone lives in huge high-rises, but with vast expanses of farm and park land between them. It could be like a huge suburb, with farms in occasional, large, multi-floor buildings. Large parts of it could be underground, with natural areas above.
More whimsically we could have personal transportation as envisioned in a science-fiction story I once read. You could walk to the end of the block and walk into one of several booths which would immediately transport you ahead several blocks. (Or to the other side of the world, depending on which booth you chose).
There are lots of possibilities.
I like the fact you are now linking worlds together, just as you did in "World Adventures" and "University Life". Toward this end you might look into satisfying those who say they would prefer to go to the past by trying to create a link to "Sims Medivel". I know that's a daunting prospect, but it might be possible.
What does a future Utopia look like in The Sims 3 in your mind? How would you imagine the environment, buildings, and other visual parts of the world to look?
I am totally thinking of Mass Effect's Citadel or Thessia. Both are gorgeous, futuristic, and would be amazing Simming environments. Also, it would be in the sky.
If your Sim is hanging out in the future, where would they spend most of their time?
Probably bars or futuristic dance clubs.
If there were robots in the future and they could be part of your household, what would you like them to do?
Clean, remind my Sims about work. Maybe a feature could be added where the AI "goes rogue" and starts attacking your Sims or lighting things on fire. That'd add some fun unpredictability to the game. :-)
Name a few of the new careers you’d most enjoy for your Sims in a future setting.
Courier - The Sim would have to deliver messages from era to era. It would be more of a profession, I guess.
Bounty Hunter - I'm thinking of a **** Fett-esque style. Maybe instead of hunting people, you'd hunt stolen objects.
Starship Pilot -
In the future setting, what activities would you like your Sims to partake in?
Dancing, hoverboard contests, flying cars, exploring relics from eras long gone (think Fallout's vaults), fighting off the Reaper threat?
Just kidding about that last one. ...But seriously.
Name a few objects you’d love to see in a Sims’ future.
Hoverboards, flying cars, AIs, video chat with other Sims, a Turian painting, cryogenic hibernation
Are there any existing objects that you’d envision transforming in the future and if so, which ones?
Smart phones, cars, glasses, clothing, the entire infrastructure of cities (build up instead of out), juice could become soma, security cameras
How would you expect your Sims’ lives to be affected by traveling back and forth to the future?
Relationships with Sims back home might suffer, and a Sim could possibly become a carrier for past or future diseases. However, they'd have loads of new knowledge and might be able to impress other Sims with their time travelling expertise! Also, their wordly allure would make romance easier. :-)
It would be awesome
I wish you could go to the past like Ancient Rome and stuff and become friends with
People then much like foreign friends and marry and stuff
On robots you should hAve different types like ones that clean your house or ones
That take care of kids
You could have two options to go to a distopia or utopia
Comments
I think it would be great if The Sims Team would look into the worlds of 'The Jetsons' and 'The Flintstones'. Those are two cool areas to explore.
If you can go into the past, it would be nice to get some sort of dinosaur or extinct animal as a pet. Or if the past includes a medieval world, a dragon might be a nice addition (think of The Sims Makin' Magic) - but just a bigger, scarier type of dragon that can protect it's family, socialise and give special moodlets (like unicorns).

What does a future Utopia look like in The Sims 3 in your mind? How would you imagine the environment, buildings, and other visual parts of the world to look?
The future should look very different from the present. It would be cool if you had 3 different future places to explore. First there would be the rich prosperous future city. This place would have tall skyscrapers, glass tubes, some grassy areas, and of course air-speeders flying all around. So the future city would like like a mix between these two pics.
The next place would be the corrupt future city. This place would look like the city in the movie Bladerunner. The city would have skyscrapers, but it would have a more industrious feel, with steam, polluted air. It would have a darker look, be crowded, and there would be a noticeable gap between the rich and poor. The lower area would have future market stalls, be really crowed, and filled with petty crimes (for example, pickpocketing). You could visit dingy clubs, where you can get a quick drink, or watch a brawl. However, the taller skyscraper buildings, would be where the rich live, and would consist of business centers, and high-rise clubs (with poker tables, plush couches, nice drinks. [use the nightlife style bar in these clubs.]
Finally, if you visited either future world (prosperous or corrupt)you could use a spaceship, (or maybe find one) to visit an alien city. This city should have weird curvy buildings, glass domes, strange trees, and other oddities. Make the place look strange. Fill the place with aliens as well as human visitors (for example the aliens from seasons). You could including this like spacerock cafe's.
If your Sim is hanging out in the future, where would they spend most of their time?
In the prosperous city, my sims would be hanging out either on the sidewalks next to the water, in one of the many future parks, in the galactic community pool.
In the corrupt city my sims would be hanging out either in one of the dingy clubs on the low levels watching a brawl and cheering on their favorite sim, or in the high rise clubs, calling the waiter to serve them another drink as they play poker or watch the dancing holograms. (This would be a good area to put in the restaurant podium)
In the alien city, my sims would be exploring the alien zoo filled with other creatures. They would get the options to watch, feed, or attempt to pet the creatures. The last option wouldn't be recommended on all creatures.
Name a few of the new careers you’d most enjoy for your Sims in a future setting.
Freighter pilot, smuggler, galactic banker, starship mechanic or builder.
In the future setting, what activities would you like your Sims to partake in?
In the prosperous city, sims would be able to use air speeders. Children and high would also get the ability to fly around on air-boards (and perform tricks). Other activities sims would do is hang out at the galactic pool, (a beautiful outdoor pool near or in a park with pool slides). Finally, sims could play virtual catch or virtual tennis or something similar with other sims, or alone with a hologram by using some object.
In the corrupt city, sims would be able to play poker in the high-rise clubs, they could also do brawl in the seeder dingy clubs on the bottom. Other activities would include watching dancing holograms and learning new belly dance.
In the alien world, sims would be able to visit the alien zoo explained above. They could also learn a new alien greeting, try new alien foods, and be experimented on (turns your sim into different creatures depending on what expansion pack you have).
Name a few objects you’d love to see in a Sims’ future?
Virtual reality station or helmet (can play virtual tennis or catch with others or with a hologram), an object similar to the uber sani-sim toilet, an object like the sharper sim's super sleeper, object like the not so routine machine, Robot/android, holograms, mind controller (temporary control sim).
How would you expect your Sims’ lives to be affected by traveling back and forth to the future?
Sims may get dizzy or travel sickness. Sims may get board of their current life and get a moodlet to want to return to the future after an amount of time(depends on traits. For example, adventurous and daredevil sims would want to go back, while family oriented sims would be happy back in their current home.) May cause a midlife crisis (with all that excitement, sims want to change their lives now).
Terrific Family Play
Too fun
The sims 2 forever
Cloning of sims and pets (while I know it's possible to make identical sims in a household, it's not necessarily easy). Psionic abilities. Flat top haircuts for men. Retro-future stuff sets (as you might see in the Jetsons, or Buck Rogers serials), as well as cyberpunk stuff sets.
I imagine the buildings either extremely tall apartments (like late night buildings) or for the richer Sims, large domes with the rooms underground. The environment is doing very badly, no real plants except in indoor parks and gardens. All other plants are fake (made from plastic or medal-like stuff) I see it having large walls around the town, to protect them from evil creatures (I say creatures so you can decide what)
Your Sims spend most of their time at work or at their home, the air is too bad to be anywhere else. If they aren't in either of those places they are at the robot shop, to build their own little friends.
They should be able to do just as much as a sim can! Clean the house, cook,protect another, fix objects,paint,mix drinks, Have friends and enemies, etc. But whatever skill you build them on (example level 3 in robotics) your robot had all level 3 skills (Cooking level 3, Painting level 3, etc.)
robotics expert (self-employed for robotics)
Computer programmer
Space Protector (Goes into space instead of a rabbit hole)
Cloner (someone who clones for a living)
Brain Hacker (can be used for good or evil)
Forecaster (goes around town trying to tell people of past/future)
Town Security (keeps eyes out for evil creatures in a lab)
I would like them to play video games, read on tablets , Talk on hologram (telephone), and stuff like that
A hover board/ hover car
An air freshener that purifies the air in your house (in future, no more social need, air need because of pollution)
A robotics station
Memory eraser (takes 24 hours and can be cured by hospitable)
almost everything!
Holographic screens replace computer and t.v.
medal trees
Arches that you just have to walk through to clean and use the bathroom
Ovens/barbeques are very small (like microwave sized)and have food "packets" instead of ingredients
Beds are horizontal tubes (single, double and bunk Style)
Chairs lost their backs (stools only)
Bars are like ovens, wait then pull your drink out
Playgrounds for kids fit inside (size of a small room)
Easels paint for you (upgrades make better paintings)
Hot tubs now are the same as the tube-beds
You sim will get lazier, more scared/nervous,and more knowledgeable the more/longer they travel to the future
Lots of buildings with more than one purpose, glass buildings and lots of places to view the future world, little areas of greenery surrounded by buildings, glass bridges from lot to lot (I don't like the idea of tubes taking you everywhere...
If your Sim is hanging out in the future, where would they spend most of their time?
At the top of tall buildings looking over the land, viewing strange creatures in museum/zoo things, referencing certain British time travel programmes...
If there were robots in the future and they could be part of your household, what would you like them to do?
Have various styles and makes, maybe act like pets but with useful features!
Name a few of the new careers you’d most enjoy for your Sims in a future setting.
Time traveller/Time traveller's companion...
Futuristic tour guide?
Alien creature biologist...thingy...
Robot developer
Studior of events in time...
In the future setting, what activities would you like your Sims to partake in?
Hover car racing! Documenting alien life! Maybe woohoo in a museum exibit or two?
Name a few objects you’d love to see in a Sims’ future.
More plants, maybe more like the cowplant, hovering...everything, windows that become tvs, zero gravity tanks/rooms.
I'll probably expand more later but I'm on my phone. I don't have time to check this for mistakes and answer the other questions...
alien plants
That being said, while I don't have a lot of ideas about this, I have to say I don't like the way the future was imagined in past decades, to be all space-aged and shiny and smooth, with flying cars and magic this and that that just with the push of a button, would provide you with something, such as a full meal, despite that not being possible, or necessary, imo. Anyway, my mind is open, and I'm hoping to be sold on the idea of a TimeTravel EP. I hope there is some good thinking about it, out-of-the-box and not just putting things in without real thought to how it would be. I know lots of people like the idea of flying cars, but I've read a lot of science articles and such that have discussed this and why it's really not feasible...and again, I would add, necessary.
I'm hoping the future will depict what is more likely to happen if we go forth from where we are now. For example, there is a big effort on conservation, of both the flora and the fauna. That would have to amount to something. It either fails, and we have less of those things, and more of the problems associated with less of those things, or we are successful. What might success look like?...We might, because of air quality and temperature change that we are experiencing, have to resort to biodomes in the future. I could easily see large domes to house and protect both plant and animal life. I wish I had more to add on the subject, but so far, that's really all I have...I just don't want the cliche form of the future, that's all. I would also hope that the EP is somewhat a positive imagining, not without problems of course, but also not some negative, dark, drudgery of existence. There are all kinds of things that we are working on for fuel alternatives, or to desalinize water, and things like that. I would think that anything dealing with the future would have a heavy part in science-related things.
I really wanted the either the farm EP or the mountain resort EP, so I'm disappointed, but have hope that there will be something I would value in the EP that winds up being made.
• Certainly I imagine the future being more ecofiendly in some way, there may be flying cars? I dont really know how that would play out but surely a change in transportation is in order.
• If my sims hangs up in the future I think I will probably spend my time meeting my future family LOL and of course going to futuristic bars is not a bad idea
• Robots? Im not a very big fan of them but if there are I would like them to help around the house, be able to help children with homework, and advice sims in their love life. If they could transform into some objects it would be nice
• I would like to see change in the medical career in the future, the military one, the ambitions'profession
• I would love for my sims to go in flying cars races, or playing a sport
• Name a few objects you’d love to see in a Sims’ future.
• Definitely new objects would be a flying car, robot cats and dogs,IDK about horses it would just be weird. A bed that can transform into a shower or give you the ability to eat on the bed! Im just brainstorming
• Okay so I want every change in the past to affect the future, for example if my sim is married and i go to the future and im elderly living with my spouse and when i go back home I break them up that would change the entire future so I think that will be hard to do in the constant change in my playing style. Also, maybe his experience can gain them a boost on their careers and skills.
Im just brainstorming here, hope I helped
But, let's not assume such a world would, necessarily, be a over populated metropolis, such as Isamov's "Caves of Steel". It could be like a world from one of Larry Niven's books in which everyone lives in huge high-rises, but with vast expanses of farm and park land between them. It could be like a huge suburb, with farms in occasional, large, multi-floor buildings. Large parts of it could be underground, with natural areas above.
More whimsically we could have personal transportation as envisioned in a science-fiction story I once read. You could walk to the end of the block and walk into one of several booths which would immediately transport you ahead several blocks. (Or to the other side of the world, depending on which booth you chose).
There are lots of possibilities.
I like the fact you are now linking worlds together, just as you did in "World Adventures" and "University Life". Toward this end you might look into satisfying those who say they would prefer to go to the past by trying to create a link to "Sims Medivel". I know that's a daunting prospect, but it might be possible.
Pleeeeeeeeeease!!! Give us a teeny tiny sneak peek or bit of info during the live chat.
This
I would love a sneak peek.
And maybe even a definite name for this expansion pack.
I am totally thinking of Mass Effect's Citadel or Thessia. Both are gorgeous, futuristic, and would be amazing Simming environments. Also, it would be in the sky.
If your Sim is hanging out in the future, where would they spend most of their time?
Probably bars or futuristic dance clubs.
If there were robots in the future and they could be part of your household, what would you like them to do?
Clean, remind my Sims about work. Maybe a feature could be added where the AI "goes rogue" and starts attacking your Sims or lighting things on fire. That'd add some fun unpredictability to the game. :-)
Name a few of the new careers you’d most enjoy for your Sims in a future setting.
Courier - The Sim would have to deliver messages from era to era. It would be more of a profession, I guess.
Bounty Hunter - I'm thinking of a **** Fett-esque style. Maybe instead of hunting people, you'd hunt stolen objects.
Starship Pilot -
In the future setting, what activities would you like your Sims to partake in?
Dancing, hoverboard contests, flying cars, exploring relics from eras long gone (think Fallout's vaults), fighting off the Reaper threat?
Just kidding about that last one. ...But seriously.
Name a few objects you’d love to see in a Sims’ future.
Hoverboards, flying cars, AIs, video chat with other Sims, a Turian painting, cryogenic hibernation
Are there any existing objects that you’d envision transforming in the future and if so, which ones?
Smart phones, cars, glasses, clothing, the entire infrastructure of cities (build up instead of out), juice could become soma, security cameras
How would you expect your Sims’ lives to be affected by traveling back and forth to the future?
Relationships with Sims back home might suffer, and a Sim could possibly become a carrier for past or future diseases. However, they'd have loads of new knowledge and might be able to impress other Sims with their time travelling expertise! Also, their wordly allure would make romance easier. :-)
I'm off to play Mass Effect now.
I wish you could go to the past like Ancient Rome and stuff and become friends with
People then much like foreign friends and marry and stuff
On robots you should hAve different types like ones that clean your house or ones
That take care of kids
You could have two options to go to a distopia or utopia
