I saw the blurb about the first expansion possibly being about careers and stuff and it made me think of the different possibilities. Here is a quick outline of how I would love an expansion to be like! Please comment and tell me what you think. I am curious to see how close it is to how the expansion turns out!
Expansion 1 for The Sims 3 – Town Life
This expansion revolves around everything a sim does outside their home in their neighborhood. Go to the many new restaurants, get a check up at the hospital, go see a movie of your own choice, do after school activities of many kinds, enjoy a day at the beach, and the list goes on and on! The expansion opens up all the rabbit holes in town and let’s you do different things inside the buildings, old and new! Have your sim join a handful of new careers and enjoy a new spin on already existing careers as you can see inside each building now and many new options are open to you!
As stated above, your sims can go out to eat to many new restaurants. All of your favorite interactions such as dating and so forth are back from previous sim games. The Sims 3 would have more complicated social interactions of course. Wine and dine your sims like never before! The matchmaking service would have many options like letting your sim put an ad in the newspaper stating the kind of TRAITS they want in a mate! Speaking of traits, there would be a couple new traits added to the game. They are the following:
Restless: These sims always want to be out and about. They aren't satisfied with being at home. They will always have wishes to go to various places in the neighborhood and are their happiest when going out and about. They will love to talk about their adventures outside the home with other sims. They also hate to sit around for prolonged periods of time since they always want to be on the move. These sims don't need to sleep as long either because sleeping would interfere with fun times!
Judgmental: Think Mrs. Crumplebottom! Your sim would always have a harsh opinion about things other sims do. They would have no problem sharing this opinion with others. They would have many socials that allow them to criticize and give advice even when not wanted. I have met people like this in real life so it makes sense to have them in sim life!
The expansion also adds a brand new neighborhood creator that allows you to create neighborhoods from scratch. Name them, design them, put where the roads are, decide which community lots will exist in your town. There is an all new feature called Visit Another Town, which will allows sims from your other towns visit your new town!
These are the ideas I had for now. What do you guys think? What would you add to an expansion like this?

EDIT: That's right, it still censors minigame apparently :?
Clever (I mean your edit job for the word there). 8) I have to agree with you about the rabbit holes for work, especially if you are running a household.
alan650111 - Some nice ideas you have there. Would love to see that get released in the first EP.
And sims owning hotels!!
omg, that would be so awwwesome.
I can appreciate the "Stylized" paintings. But Every 'picture' I've painted or taken with the phone have come out extremely dark (so dark that you can't often tell it's a Sim's head in there... because I can't get a half body shot for the life of me.) Not being able to manipulate walls/camera properly make painting a pita.
*fairly easy - Considering the lower the skills the sooner you get that phone call to experiment on the remains of the dearly departed.
I can't say that I want to have to dictate what my Sim does at work/school beyond telling them how they should act for the day. I don't mind the rabbit holes, but that is just the way I play. I think people forget (rather quickly/easily) that not everyone plays the game the same way. And people don't tend to make nonsense "Ooo I love this" type of posts. But just because you see several "ooo I hate that" posts does not mean the majority of players hate the feature. (People tend to be louder when they don't like something.)
Basically:
If you can't control the Sim while at work, why bother wasting the space for it.
Just as many people are going to be ****** if/when they have to start babysitting their Sim during work/school, as there are people who are ****** that they can't babysit their sim during work/school.
I want them to add Voodoo Cheesecake :-o (Rare to find/hard to make/etc) that curses a Sim and further generations until specific antidote (hard to make) is created)
> I WANT VAMPIRES
You can get that in Supernatural or Late Night EP
