I don't mind rabbit holes as much as I mind slow or lagging games to be honest. So if they need rabbitholes, in order to make our game run, I won't be angry.
Careers rabbitholes why not but I wouldn't be opposed having the option to work in the business career without a rabbithole. But restaurants, movie theater and ect open it.
but in the call didn't they mention that there wouldn't be rabbitholes :?: I could be wrong I was kinda **** other things while I was listening. Anyways I wouldn't mind the work building cause thinking about having to make sure all your sims at work are behaving might prove to be exhausting
I know nothing about what it's like to play TS2, only TS3...and the major part about TS3 is I can leave my Sim in his rabbithole at work, leave the speed on normal [>] and go make myself a sandwich.
Seriously, rabbitholes make the game look like it was programmed out of laziness. I did appreciate the fact that certain other venues (notably in University Life and Ambitions) weren't RH...but the base game shouldn't have many of them. Save for maybe the general careers (business, journalism, culinary, and maybe athletic), everything else shouldn't be a RH.
I say the stadium because I like athletic sims plus it would be so neat for kids/teens to have after school sports practice for their school team and parents/guardians/family/friends/etc can come watch and cheer them on. And those in the athletic career track, we could actually see them playing sports/games. So I'd like the athletic career to change from a RH to a profession like AMB jobs. Would be really nice for storytelling too, like maybe someone takes their date to a football game, or the game is coming up and the guys/girls want to watch it in person. Also to name our own team and choose a team uniform...would be so fun.
Sports:
-Basketball
-Baseball
-Soccer
-Tennis
-Football
-Hockey/Ice Hockey
-Track and Field
-Gymnastics
-Olympic Games
Our sims could actually work at the gym and be fitness trainers and stuff.
If motion capture would ever be used in a TS game, I think playing sports would be a good cause to use it, IMO.
Here;s something to add that I written a while back:
-TS4: Restaurants, Movie Theater, Spa, Bookstore, Clothing Store, Grocery Store, Furniture Store to be open and have a room blacked out for sims to disappear for work.
Business sims could host seminars/conferences or something.
Chefs could host cook-off competitions.
Recruiters could host sign up opportunities.
Police officers could host a neighborhood watch program against kleptomaniacs/burglars, trash tippers, or something.
The theatre should allow sims to watch plays, dance performances, anything performing arts. Also I'm thiking of Cirque du Soleil type performances...I really liked the acrobat profession in ST. I'm hoping that parents/siblings/guardians can teach their kids some of their skills. It would be so cute to have a whole family of acrobats as young as child and up. A family of clowns/magicians/singers would be so cute too.
Doctors can continue to have free clinics and help sims in need along with any new interactions.
Mayors should be voted by the sims and it all depends on factors of listening to the sims feedback in order to give their vote. And I think it's silly in TS3 how even if I chose I could have several mayors. Instead, in TS4 when someone else want to run, there has to be an election. And whoever loses, can try again later unless the sims had such a negative view that the reputation is destroyed for awhile until a lot of time passes for a lot of sims to forget.
The science community could have science fairs and get other sims involved to learn.
Book store owner/employess could host book fairs and encourage reading and learning.

SilentDancer: Thanks. Everyone has some really amazing ideas too, so I'm hoping The Sims Studio is reading a lot of our feedback. Hoping they bookmark topics of interest and go back and read it whenever they have a little free time.

I hope they read these ideas also, especially since they claim to be listening to the fans this time. So good luck to us all with the upcoming Sims 4! n_n
LOL I like that. It should be the official motto. XD
It should! EA should think real hard about that. They always gotta put nice things in the game but then we'd be disappointed 'cause they're rabbit holes. Smh -.-

If the makers of The Sims 4 know the reaction the community has to rabbitholes, they'd be smart to not add them.

I wouldn't mind the less interesting to observe places, like jobs, being rabbit holes, but the fun places should definitely be open.
Whoa, nice ideas. :shock:
