Would You Like a More Powerful CAS?

Sul Sul!
I've been thinking that it might be nice to have more robust options in CAS. Would you be interested in the following additions:
Ability to set starting funds from 0-1M
Ability to assign career and level
Ability to assign npc roles like homeless, weirdo, entertainer, etc
Ability to assign npc jobs like a world's pizza delivery, nanny, maid, repairperson etc.
Ability to assign specific number of relationship points towards other sims in household
Ability to assign other familial relationship like cousin, aunt, grandparent, etc to sims in household
Ability to assign specific number of skill points for each sim
Ability to write individual bio for each sim
Ability to write bio for household from within CAS
I think this would allow us to tell much more interesting stories without having to cheat or make it up. What else can you think of? Would you like this?

I create a lot of townies for my saves and the gallery, and I usually cheat them some skills, jobs, funds and sometimes npc roles. So I would like to see these options in CAS, it would be way easier.
Oh, and yes, I want more relationships and an ability to save sims with relationship points. Now you can't even save spouses who hate each other to your library, their relationship will be default next time you use them.
I am content to cheat starting funds, etc. and don't so much want to see duplicate capability from what I can swing in game, with existing tools.
Yes, I would love those things. I would add:
Ability to make pregnant sims in CAS
Ability to make babies in CAS
Ability to assign boyfriend/girlfriend and engaged couples in CAS
Ability to set Initial romance/friendship status in CAS
> Ability to set Initial romance/friendship status in CAS
THIS! Maybe also add divorced or broken up as relationship options. I would also like to be able to set at least one initial sentiment between Sims in CAS: a strained or adoring relationship between spouse's, partners or parent and child, etc.
One thing I've always wanted, but not sure if it's possible, is to be able to set limits on skills or assign one or two weaknesses. If these can be influenced by traits, even better, but if not, then perhaps it's something that can be added in CAS instead. For me, it will add to their personalities and uniqueness, if say, one is just a terrible cook or can never carry a tune. I tend to play the same sims for quite a long time, and they all max out their skills before long. Vampires have weaknesses, why not normal sims.

And Oh, I just randomly thought of another one: a body hair menu. Didn't think of that before. It'd be nice though.
Also...Occults...Why can I not change a non-occult sim to an occult sim similar to the way it is possible in Sims 3?! Without cheats.
It bugs me to no end....
Or am I missing something?
Both of these would be awesome. And if we could change non-occult sims to occult, I would expect the reverse to be possible as well (for editing and changing pre-mades or our own occult sims).
Because I can't; I keep all sigs turned off.
Personality,depth,humor,consequences,lore,customization.
I actually like your idea that the values could still be changed according to like or dislike, rather than CAS. This way, it can still be changed through gameplay rather than using cheats.
To be fair, just making it so we can choose the outcome of the Story Mode would encompass a few of your suggestions.
The only one I'd like to have is to assign additional family relationships. I don't mind having options to do more for other players who need them, but it would have to be completely optional. I don't want to spend any more time in CAS.
This is something that bothers me about premades as well, who do usually come with skills, but way too few. Looking at you, Blossom Greenburg, you're 1,000 years old and the only meaningful thing you ever did in your life was to raise one child and a couple of plants? Really??
Individual biographies, NPC roles and jobs would also be really cool.
Something wicked this way comes!
I don't use MCCC.
I'd like a way to do this without cheats or mods.
I've been playing since sims 1, sims 2 when I could create my own world map and build everything myself started me on this play style where I set up my town with lore and history. So my first gen characters get houses and jobs, money or not, own businesses, degrees or not, etc. In TS2 setting up all my characters before playing took around 3 months. TS3 it took over a year to set up. TS4, I've been playing this game since day 1 and my characters are still not done.
I'd really like a way to speed up this process.
With MCC and cheat codes you can do all that, however not individual bio's. That would be cool.
Without mods, you can after pressing Ctrl-Shift-C
To get the console, then type testingcheats on
For a skill, lets say handiness, Stats.set_skill_level major_handiness 6
Most are between 1 and 10, some are between 1 and 5.
