Things from older Sims game that you would like to see returned. (Not a complain fest)

«13
So while playing my current game today I was sending one of my sims to her easel to go paint and as she was on her way I thought, " Yeah know I really miss the Sketchbook from The Sims 3 University. Then I got to thinking about some of the other things that I miss from other games that I would like to see again.

I'm curious what all do yall miss from older games that you would like to see return. But I want to make this clear I don't want there to be any serious complaining and wars like I saw with toddlers and horses it just drags do the fun of the tread.

Your perfectly welcome to say that you miss some of those things and talk about why you thought they were great but "NO ARGUING" let's keep it civil and fun.

For me apart from the sketchbook I also really liked the in-ground hot tubes from Sims 2 and 3 because I've always felt the in-grounds just look nicer than above grounds.

I also liked the One Man's Junk Car from Sims 2, now, of course, It wouldn't really make too much sense without working cars however I feel that it can be done with other objects sort of like in 3 where we could salvage old furniture and turn it into parts but instead of that actually restoring it into a usable object which would could make an interesting Rags to Riches challenge where you have to find and restore your furniture.

I also miss the sewing table from 2, I don't know why I just do.

So what are your thoughts?

    Agree with the mentioned fixable car, spiral stair cases, normal telescopes, sewing table, and physical games. Adding from TS2: potter's wheel, trait system, ability to right click on a face in CAS to blend features of the various templates, sliders in CAS - the current push and pull doesn't always work, screen shots linked to households, only the played household has time progression, the build tools, the great variety of wall and floor textures, normal staircases, auto roofs, and just about everything else in TS2, to be honest. TS3: colour wheel and opacity sliders TS1: the fish/sailboat pond, street card food/beverage vendors

    Oh goodnes yes I know I was missing somethings.

    Spiral staircases especially since I just built a set of chess rook houses the other day but couldn't really use the upper part because they weren't wide enough for stairs.

    But I do miss the physical activities and the drums but I'll take it a step further and say the playing instruments together as well

    Oh yeah, I forgot about the CAS blend tool it was great whenever I was stuck between two different presets.

    More than anything I miss cars!!! I loved having my Sims drive around, and they made for some nice screenshots for my stories too.

    1. Burglars and the burglar alarm are one thing I'd love to have back. I loved when your sim would interrupt them and then they would fight until police showed up. I'd love to see a newer version where our sims who are in that career field can actually break in other sims homes and try not to get caught.

    2. Nectar making, I know there is a mod now, but I'd love it if they just brought this back in the game.

    3. Self-employment. Yes our sims can stay at home and complete hobbies for money, but in TS3 you could actually designate a sim as someone who works from home as a painter, writer, gardener or fishing person.

    4. The rocking chair. I really miss being able to cuddle and read to toddlers in the rocking chair with the toddler on the sim's lap.

    5. Kicking people out your home! I really miss being able to kick a sim out of the house and watch them walk away down the street with their sad little face. Having to "edit household" does not provide the same feeling.


    There are a lot of other things I miss too, but we'll definitely never be getting it as the game is just not set up that way.

    I want a lot of things that I'm pretty sure are coming so to get that out of the way.. Witches, University and Stardom.
    I think of these things though and hope they come soon. I won't complain if they are expanded on much more ..

    Flower arranging.. so many pretty flowers in this game. I want to be able to make them for using in my sims houses like they can with paintings.

    Gift Giving.. I know we can drag an item to another sim but I really want to be able to click on them and chose gift from inventory then present it to them wrapped.. they can even fudge on the size of the present it can be a small box even if we are giving a large painting..

    Crafting.. I'm up for anything. I heard they had jewelry making in 3.. I'd really like that.

    Nectar Making, Beekeeping with honey production, Jam or Jelly Making, Juicing... I could go on and on with this list.

    Be a mechanic.. work on cars. I really want this more than the possibility to drive them lol. I kind of hope we get cars kind of like they were done in Sims 2.

    Bed cuddles (and the ability to watch tv reclining in bed) and slow dancing.

  • TayoChanTayoChan Posts: 357 Member
    All good answers, some of which I actually forgot existed like flower arranging since there are so many pretty flowers in the game with no real purpose.

    1. More careers. I loved when there was an animal career and education career.
    2. WEATHER! I loved seasons and it makes game play a lot more realistic.
    3. The university game packs were my favorite. I loved sending kids to college

    I'm going way back here but I would love to see something like Magic Town implemented again, I don't think that any subsequent games with supernatural elements even came close to it. Vampires, witches, et all would fit in perfectly! I loved the ability to go to the vendors and actually go out and buy the ingredients for whatever spell/charm it was you wanted to make.

    Aside from that, I would also appreciate the ability to do things like cuddle on the couch and for the sim to actually open up the cabinets when they cook. Little things like that make a bigger picture. Carpools and cars in general would also be a welcome addition, anything but the sim just vanishing into thin air before work.
    Bring back the Paranormal career already.
