1. wicked well go to a www.maxis.com or www.sims.com then send tht message to them
2. It has already been confirmed that you can go through the neighborhood walking.
3. You know..I love your Ideas! I get sooo bored with the sims 2 now days and this seems like a game that i would play!...you should send them a letter or get an email or something to send them your ideas..you could become a millionare!
4. Im sorry that this isn't an answer, but wow! thats a lot of info! You should be like a game developer! Okay.... try the Sims Forum.
5. First of all, it;s not maxis. its now EA GAMES.. So if u wanna contact them or tell them this idea better go to www.thesims3.com OR www.eagames.com
6. I think these are good ideas! The EA people use the fourm (BBS) on www.thesims2.com (you need to regester to post) to get ideas, If your post gets enough comments the makers of the game will read it and maybe use some of the popular ideas. They are currently scanning the fourms for feedback as the sims3 site has just opened. www.thesims3.com That is the only way I think to get your ideas through to them. If they looked at all their email from fans requesting things they wouldn't have any time to make the sims games!
7. great ideas i would really like to see sims living in appartments and a better aging system (as you mentioned) you must post this to maxis or ea! overall, i hope this is what we see in the sims 3!!!
8. WOW!!! NICE IDEALS
9. Yeah! Great ideas. Although I wouldn't like homework assignements. :P TTYL Love, Lil Miss
10. I agree with alot of your ideas (they're really good). The idea of having more realism in the game sounds refreshing. I was getting so bored/annoyed of the cartoonish Sims 2, they should really "step up" the game play in the Sims 3 as you have already mentioned in your ideas. You should really send in your ideas to EA! I think alot of Sim fan/players will agree with your ideas. * I really hope that they continue to refine the Sims 3 instead of leaving it the way it is now. <:(
11. That is some great ideas!!! try http://www.thesims3.com or http://www.thesims2.com
12. Obviously you should go to http://thesims3.ea.com/ ----It has been revealed that sims can walk around the neighbourhood without any loading ----You can take designs from furniture and walls etc. and use them for other objects etc. ----Instead of personality points you choose 5 personality TRAITS e.g. caring, nice, naughty, kleptomaniac (there are about 80 to choose from). ----the mood bars have been toned down a bit because ea noticed they were declining too rapidly and it was hard to explore the sims life without worrying about the moods of sims all the time (does this make sense, I tried to explain all of this nicely). ----the sims look more lifelike as seen in recent pictures (I think they look like humans in 'Bee Movie') Not much has been posted and that is all i can tell now but you can sign up for information at http://thesims3.ea.com/ Hope this helped!
