The Sims 3 Expansion In My Head

[ililas]

I would like to be able to mortgage to buy a decent house for my Sims   

I'm so tired about the fact that if I want to play without cheating, I have to buy a small and ridiculous ugly house and stupid furnitures and I have to live in this little pitty house for about three generations before THINKING leaving the house for a bigger one...

If I would have the chance to mortgage to buy a beautiful house and decent furniture when I start the game exactly as human do... they go to the bank and make a mortgage and then, buy their house... and... pay after   

I'm sure someone can do a little program or hack here and realize my wish

I don't know why on earth it would take you 3 generations to build a decently sized house. My legacy family was able to rebuild from hut to shack to 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1 garage monstrosity before the second generation was a teenager. Making money in this game -- as in TS2 -- is ridiculously easy.

That being said, you don't even need a hack or a mod. Just motherlode your way to a beautiful new house, then use familyfunds to fake a mortgage payment every time they can afford it. Or download the bigger-bills mod from MTS.

There are supernatural entities in the game; they're called ghosts.

True, but the ghosts in TS3 are essentially just transparent sims. Heck, they can even have babies that age. If Stephanie Meyer wrote a book about ghosts, these are the ones you would get.

Hee hee, yet no sparkles. I are sad 

Maybe in future Awesomemod.. if Christmas comes early this year.

You forgot the 'Your mom' feature.

I'd love this expansion pack.

I really miss my vampires... Only thing I'd change about them is they'd be unable to eat food and would be forced to bite a sim's neck for nourishment.  The bitten sim would lose as much hunger as the biting sim would gain.... If the bitten sim dies... then he becomes a vampire as well.

I also want my brain eating zombies back.  Although with everyone always being out and about I imagine the zombie population would explode... unlike in the sims 2 where they only showed up every once in a while when your sim was out. If we had brain eating zombies cops should have the option to fight them... if they win then the zombie would be killed.

I didn't really use supernaturals much, but it was nice having them as an option. I did have the occasional neighborhood that included aliens and I miss my little greenies. Really, what's more believable: ghosts that act like normal people and can reproduce and die again, or probe-happy aliens?

Seasons and aliens. Those are my two biggest repeat wants. After that, it'd be OFB functions, then pets.

[lefty]

All I really miss is the alien spawn. Mind you, I had replacement pollination techs and a hack that allowed both genders to achieve pregnancy from abduction, but I miss them all the same. My previous game was prosperity type, and I had many a family with a few green skinned sims running around, sigh.

[Euphemism]

Same here with the aliens. I never really fooled around with the other supernaturals, mostly because I felt the perks outweighed the new negatives of their form. That, and I'm a lazy ass mofo and always felt the getting them part was too boring/hard without cheats. But aliens? All my favorite male Sims had at least one alien progeny. And my gay male couples were practically a breeding ground for them.

What would be awesome is if aliens would come back in the next expansion, but actually have something else, y'know, cool about them... Instead of just being green (or whatever color) skins, they would learn skills faster, or they would have an option to hitch a ride on the mothership or something and get all their motives fulfilled overnight.

[Doc Doofus]

zazasu's right.  OFB functions.

OFB NEVER MADE ANY SENSE.  You go to work and no time passes at home or anywhere else in the universe?  You leave at 8am for your business, work yourself to collapse, leave at midnight, and it's still 8:05 when you get home?  And the breakfast is still warm, and the kids are still getting on the school bus?

Now that there is universal time, OFB would make perfect sense. 

[Heinel]

OFB would make perfect sense. 

It would take more than that to make perfect sense.  There are not enough consumable items or wear-and-tear on fixtures to warrant actual businesses in the game.  You are really just making the sims waste money on inventory clutter, which you have to manually delete in the end.

[J. M. Pescado]

Let's be realistic: OFB out of the box was crap. The employees were utterly retarded to the point of unusability, and the amount of senseless micromanagement was staggering. There was absolutely no facility for aiming lots for any purpose or clientele. What was REALLY worthwhile in it was the potential to own and control other lots...which was only available through AwesomeWare. That's what you really want.

[chaos]

All I want from OFB is lockable doors. If only I could have them, my life would be complete.

I did actually like running a shop, i.e. selling things as well as owning and controlling other lots -- which admittedly was unbearable without AwesomeWare. Combining that without the crazy time-warp would actually make me really happy with TS3.

[Sasha Phoenix]

Like your ideas.  And who cares if the base game in only teen, they can make expansion packs rated mature - of course it will piss off all the teen customers.  too bad.

[Tsarina]

Yeah, except the franchise is marketed to teens. EA aren't interested in making something their main customers' parents won't buy for them.

[VJay]

hmm First expansion due Nov 2009: The Sims 3: Destination Adventure. Source
Well, I'm not really excited about it...

[Zazazu]

Fucking Holiday/Vacation/BV again? It loses it's appeal after two vacations. It'd better have some other points to it.

[Tyyppi]

Pfft. We don't need no vacations. More undead! Make the mausoleum actually explorable! Bring in the swords, bikini armors and liches!

[asciident]

Maybe if it adds weather. :/ I really miss weather.

[Mandapotpie]

I think some kind of Superstar expansion might be fun with the open neighborhood. It was kind of dumb before because you could only build stuff in the mini games blah blah, but now (in someone else's hands, not EA) it could be really fun!

[TrapperJohn]

Vacation? *Le Sigh!* I was really hoping that the first Ep would be something that replaced the rabbit holes with real buildings, something like a NL remake. We need the restaurants, night clubs and bowling alleys back. Being able to hit the town  is much less fun when you can't really do anything except fish or sit on a bench and read. We need vampires prowling around, giving an extra thrill to the outing ("Will I make it back without being bitten?"), Mrs Crumplebottom with her purse of Doom and hopefully some new character or creature to encounter. Bring back that "night on the town" feeling!

[Marhis]

That's actually a clever move; they spit out the less liked expansion first, so we both have an expansion and drool MOAR on the others to come.

[fiddlesticks]

Okay, so according to http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,13970.msg412370.html#msg412370, there's vampires in the game. And now I read this, and no vampires. So which is it? Or are they just probably coming or something?
