My most wanted hack is one to give our NPC friends (enemies?) some sort of a rational desire to wear outerwear when appropriate. I don't know about you, but my mailman doesn't come trudging through knee-deep snow in a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of shorts.
NPCs are coded to be immune to temperature. They did not come equipped with cold-weather versions of their uniforms, and thus were not able to use outerwear.
Does the same apply to Townies? For purely aesthetic reasons I find it annoying that they never seem to appear on residential lots wearing any outerwear.
Another mod I've been wanting actually since the EP was announced is changing the sunrise/sunset times. Where I live, it's only light from about 9 am to 3 pm in winter, and in summer the sun doesn't set until 11 pm or so. So I find the darkness of the Sims summer quite depressing. It should be light much longer during summer than during winter.
I have no idea if it can be done or not, but I would love it anyway.
I would really love something like this as well. That was one of the reasons, I was looking forward to seasons. In reality this is kind of the whole reason for there being seasons, isnīt it. So I really hate, that they left that out. And I would love longer summer days simply for gameplay enjoyment.
And I second the request for gardening affecting the fitness level.
I agree! I do gardening irl and it is hard work!
Is variability in day length through the seasons something we can look forward to then? I hope so regardless of whether the motivation is long days or eternal darkness.
One request I haven't seen mentioned is the possibility of planning a sims wardrobe according to the season. It would be more realistic to see a sim wearing a t-shirt/shorts as everyday in th esummer and a sweater/jeans in the winter etc. Is this possible as a mod that would apply to all dressers, or even to one customised one?
I whole heartedly agree w/the outerwear issue. It driving me nuts to see townie coworkers come home w/my sim in the winter w/nothing but a pair of pants and a tank t-shirt on!
I would also love to see a mod to adjust the length of days according to the season and also for sims to wear appropriate clothing w/o you having to go to the dresser and constantly change them yourself.
