Religion

[CaptainSim]

They shouldn't - and won't - add religion as the bloke who tried to ban sims cos of the nudity cheat could appear out of nowhere again, and shut the whole thing down.

Just thought I should mention that there was religion in SimCity Societies. Temples, churches and even convents. So why not in The Sims 3?

In the Sims 2 for PSP, one was able to join an a cult, and eventually become a cult leader.  The Sims 2: University also came with a "Paranormal" career track. I can't see why they wouldn't consider a "Good and Bad" meter. If a sim has nice traits they would tend to be in a better mood when they were "being good" (vise-versa). It would have to be called "religion", just good vs. bad meter.

At first I thought maybe the Sims should just have its own made up religions, but then the religions would have to be explained and you'd still have to do things like go to church or pray, etc... and I really couldn't be bothered... so I think what stregatasim said makes sense, so instead of labelling their beliefs as a religion they should just have their beliefs, as simple as that. Then it's not so complicated.

That can't put religion, temples, or churches in the game. First, it would ruin the non-realistic game and second, there would be lots of fighting and possible suing over it. I think it might be cool, though.

NO RELIGION. its a good idea but as someone said, some people will be offended if thier religion isnt in it. And some people are COMPLETELY against some religions. Muslims for example, a few of them took down the twin towers b/c of USA religion, im pretty sure. No offense to muslims, I mean the terrorists and extremists.

No religion at all. Please and thanks.

they can't add every religion there is and there are very religious people and people that don't believe in god at all
religions will be very contrevercial and might make a lot of people not get the game,which as a company whose biggest intrest is money, so that won't be the beat idea...
and the sims is a game ment of us to have fun it's not suppose to reflect the real world
and not to offend anyone religious if you're gonnas take real stuff and add them to the sims it should at least be the good stuff
after all most of the problems in the world are created by religions (especially speaking as someone whose jewish)
