Suggestions for Nightlife? So, I've been playing for about a week and already have a suggestion ... any of the EA programmers listening? I would like to see the turn ons/turn offs expanded to include personality traits. You know, a sim could prefer nice or grouchy people, playful or not ... and possibly prefer people with a certain aspiration over another. I find the present turn ons kind of shallow, and a bit silly. Who cares if someone has blonde hair, if his personality doesn't match yours? I think it would add a nice dimension. Anyone else have ideas on how to improve the game?
I agree. The choices are quite superficial and limited. With so few choices, anyone scoping a room is bound to be attracted to half the people there. I'd prefer that some shy people are only attracted to other shy people while others secretly long to hang out with the most outgoing. It's more likely that active people would be bored hanging out with lazy sims. Some neatfreaks might like having someone to clean up after. Others might be appalled by mess makers. I find I seldom choose the clothing options. No one goes bowling in their underwear! (Well...in the sim world I guess that is possible.) I've seen one to download at mts2 but I'm surprised Maxis didn't make a drive-in theatre. We've got the cars. It would have been a fun date option.
Me too (agree that is). The chemstry side of relationship building does seem a bit vague (and or shallow) but I suspect that's the case in real life. The baseline, so-called "chemistry" really is as mind meltingly shallow as NL portrays. But then sims have always been shallow, feckless creatures and any resemblance to real human beans is more often accidental than by design. Even a mommy rat has more parenting sense than the average sim!
