Eh, I'm not too fond of all that.
some things I really like, like being able to customize the landscape of the town, but I don't agree with the cheat thing.
That would be so annoying.

I just came up with that since, let's face it, cheats are very addicting -- with a game like the Sims it essentially transforms how the entire game is played. As opposed to a prolonged happiness from playing it becomes a sugar rush effect where it's "Oh look, I did this!" and then it dies down and is replaced with "Meh, alright." I'll agree that some of my measures might be a bit much, but the general idea is that cheating shouldn't be an instant "Whoopie!" thing. Once you unlock those cheats, they're there, and if things fall on hard times -- I know this from experience -- those cheats WILL be used. :
Ideally, a game such as the Sims -- which is more akin to a toy -- should even at the most basic level remain interesting for the longest breadth of time. By this I mean, even without any of the EPs you can remain captivated in the game for months at a time as opposed to a few days of "Wow this is cool."
And speaking of EPs, my own personal favorites of all these is the Athletes and International EPs (which is weird to say since I came up with them all). As an athlete the former really appeals to me, and it breaks away from the generic Athletic Career Track (most of these expansion packs are based around the different careers, on account that ideally this new game revamps them all and makes them unique.)
The International One is also a personal favorite of mine since it establishes that there are other "Nationalities" of Sims who speak languages like Gobbledygook, Balderdash, Preved (Russian Internet Slang), and Greek. It isn't simply snobby tourists going to other regions going "O, how strange are their customs!", it's rather you visiting other countries who's economies don't revolve around you being there. It would also be interesting if, over time and through the generations, you can get an entire town to migrate from being default speakers of Simlish to another one of the available languages. This is also quite possible since I have in mind a new talking system, in which volcabulary is based upon the surrounding environments and exposer to sounds. So -- a young Sim especially -- exposed to a bunch of people speaking Gobbledygook, would become fluent at speaking Gobbledygook. A Sim exposed to people speaking Balderdash will become a fluent speaker of Balderdash. Preved; Preved. Greek; Greek. And so forth.

A few are unrealistic, but overall by far the best fan suggestions I've seen. KARMA!

Which ideas don't come across as good to you? Just want to get a picture so I can double check and make the nessecary adjustments (or not since, let's face this, it's not getting implemented :
I just do this for fun. Which is a dire sign that I need a hobby :-\)
