Idea: "Arousal" meter
Zazazu:
There are leftover images from Sims 1 in Sims 2 as well, not shown in game, but in the UI whatsit packages.
dizzy:
Lots of the "code" in TS2 is code straight out of TS1, just somewhat modified here and there.
If you want an example of a game that does mods the right way, I would say Doom 3 is just about ideal. EA games tend to be the type where you have to replace huge files with modified versions of those files.
veilchen:
One of my kids has that game (Doom 3). I haven't really played it, it seems so dark most of the time. I'll have to snoop around in it, some more I guess.
What always made me laugh though is the name of Dr. Malcolm Betruger. Betrüger is the German word for Traitor, or Betrayer. I guess naming him Malcolm Betrayer would've been too obvious.
Right now I'm desperately trying to find my Diablo and Diablo II discs. I can't find the Baldur's Gate series either. Bummer.
Ellatrue:
What I'd like to see, honestly, is some sort of mod that makes the environment motive harder to fill. It would be nice if there were more of a point to decorating.
cwykes:
I agree with you about the environment bar - mind you, I have trouble filling that bar right up. It always stops at about 95% full. Is there a guide anywhere on exactly how environment score is calculated?
Someone posted earlier that the lovetub lets best friends woohoo without being in love. Are they going to fall in love more easily in the hottub too? If that's true it could explain some of my confusion about sim romance and how it's changed with added EPs. I know I'm using lovetubs less than I used to. I'll have to try that with those stupid, frigid sims who refuse to fall in love with anyone.
Inge's idea is interesting. The food example is really a short term/long term issue isn't it? My take on priorities is that there are a lot of places in the game where we need different measures for short and long term. We have two bars for friendship, but we really need two bars for aspiration as well and some long and short term romance bars would be good too. Maxis might well have thought base game was already complicated enough without adding another set of double indicators for romance. We've got mods to make romance decay that contribute some sort of long term aspect to romance. Does anyone think we're getting a new long term aspiration bar with the Free Time? They've got pics of something that might be a new aspiration bar - or the old one in a different place on the screen.....
