Social Standings and Chances

[yummybunny]

When the fansite comes up, they should try to have a Q & A session with EAxis.  Then ask them stuff they haven't said yet.  But if I think about it, the game will be pushed back, because we have so many good ideas, like the plant idea, this idea and all of the other ideas.  We would make them want to add that.

I think the other journalist was trying to get new info, but EA refused to answer those questions.  The old info is what they want to give out at the time.

I wish tehy would open their eyes to this. And I want the popular kids, the nrmal kids and the unpopular kids - I can take sympathy on the unpopular kids and feed them extra chocolate cake for desert. I love them.

And the idea of social standings in careers is brilliant and it fits in snugly with what we were saying about some Sims being snobby and such - richer Sims need to realise poorer Sims, as to poorer Sims need to realise who is rich and who is not. Some snob Sims aren't going to want to be best buddies with the lower-class folk. But I hope that good-traited rich Sims can perhaps donate their money to those more needy than themselves.

I agree.  They do lack jealousy and stuff.  In order for this to work, there would need to be a meter to set how attractive your sim.  That would be great with the charity and stuff.  I hope traits have a big affect on the choices and have different interactions on how you can use stuff.  I hope they are not over-emphasing the traits.

There should also be training, like in Pets.  If your kid is a slob, the parent sim should discipline that child for slobby acts and encourage/reward non-slobbish acts, so that would go down.

I am afraid the game would not let Sims get past their traits sometimes.
