Anyone know how to get them into the pool? LetвЂ™s step up the pool situation!ДЄs for the rest of the water, perhaps some use of the oceans, bays, lakes and ponds? Visiting the beach or a lake would be a lot more fun if Sims could swim in it.

You can invite them over for a party and instruct them to wear their swimsuits but as far as IвЂ™ve seen, that just results in a bunch of guests standing around the buffet or dancing to the stereo in their bathing suits. I also havenвЂ™t figured out how to get party guests into the pool yet. The pool just sits there and most of the time my Sims donвЂ™t even bother with it unless I send them to swim. ThereвЂ™s so much water, why arenвЂ™t we using it? Even the pool has gotten more boring in Sims 3 as thereвЂ™s no diving board or slide. Now we need a Sims 3 version of Downtown! We have the suburban Sunset Valley, the more rural Riverview.

ThereвЂ™ve been some great worlds made by players in вЂњCreate a WorldвЂќ but IвЂ™d love it if EA released some new neighborhoods to install into the game. There are definitely some elements of Nightlife that could be introduced, including perhaps, an urban-looking neighborhood. Making dogs and cats in Sims 2 and bringing them into families was fun but having to care for them got old after a while. I could take or leave a new version of Pets. With the option to customize the cosmetic appearance of pretty much every item in buy-mode in The Sims 3, we could have a lot of fun filling a Sims store and creating a signature style for the things they sold in a S3: Open for Business-type EP. And they could sell everything from stuff they made, to food they cooked or even stuff from buy-mode. As for running a business, whether it was on a community lot or out of their home, the Sim made their own hours. Of course if it rained or they went swimming, they went crazy and had to be repaired but that was part of the fun. The Servos were playable Sims with a taste for cleaning and tending to the house. Servos were the robot-people that Sims who built up their skill with machine-making could make and either activate in their own home or else sell to someone else. IвЂ™m not sure what I liked more, the option of being able to run a business out my SimвЂ™s house, or the Servos. Open for Business was easily my favorite of the Sims 2 EPs, and IвЂ™d love to see a lot of what could be offered in that EP if some variation of it were introduced into Sims 3. They can throw some weather into another EP and that would probably appease most of the Seasons-lovers. Sims 3 has gardening so as far as IвЂ™m concerned, I donвЂ™t think a S3: Seasons EP is necessary. Nothing against rain or winter clothing but aside from the addition of вЂњGardening,вЂќ I didnвЂ™t really see a huge game-changing element in that EP. I know there are plenty of people out there who miss Seasons, and I donвЂ™t really get that, personally. But itвЂ™s hard not to miss some of the things offered in the old EPs. I donвЂ™t even have it installed in this computer and the stack of EPs is collecting dust in my office. I know weвЂ™re dealing with a new game here and for the most part, I barely think about Sims 2. Food industry people could earn a substantial discount on food costs or they could gain access to new kinds of foods.

Construction workers could get a substantial discount on building costs or perhaps have the option to upgrade parts of the house, like the stairs, windows and doors to things not offered in build-mode. Or in the case of the firefighters, it would be an easier way to start breeding the hidden вЂњpyroвЂќ trait into their families, rather than trying to seduce one of the NPC firefighters to get the job done.

Firefighters, teachers and mailmen could earn the вЂњNo bills everвЂќ reward for reaching the top of the track.

And on the other end, when Sims call to hire a repairman, fireman, professional tutor, maid or whatever, instead of an NPC showing up, someone in the neighborhood with that profession would come to the house to do the job.ДЄnd in exchange for making a ton of money, the Sims could acquire a new вЂњhiddenвЂќ trait, or else some other game-related benefit when reaching the highest level of that track.

Sure, there are ways to make good money doing all of the mentioned jobs, but what about a track that doesnвЂ™t amount to much more than a middle-class income? The jobs could be вЂњon callвЂќ gigs where the Sims are randomly called away to work. Nothing against making simoleons but I love the idea of making a Sim with a simple house and having them do a job like fire-fighting, mail delivery, teaching/professional tutoring, house-cleaning, babysitting (вЂњnannyвЂќ work) construction work or a handy-man track or even something in the food industry and not getting rich.
