If EA releases another party pack what would it have to have for you to buy it?
AllenABQ:
Maxis interviewees stated when they first released the game that differing body types DID present enormous challenges in making sure that animations worked properly. I'm sure that some of their body types were also influenced by the decision to have any clothing item work on any sim. Since clothing skins stretch to wrap around any of the game body meshes, you'd be confronted with distortion problems if you stray too far outside of the normal/fit mesh dimensions. This would lead to the ugly prospect of having to do different clothing files for skinny, or large muscular/fat sims.
Now there are talented mesh creators that are proving that new body types can be done and work reasonably well with the current animations. I particularly like the bodybuilder sim that Marvine and company have developed. But I seriously doubt many of the existing clothing skins would look right on them if something like that model made it into the official game. I'm not an expert on that stuff, but that's my gut instinct.
I'm not trying to argue AGAINST having new body types. I would LOVE to have them. I'm just wondering if Maxis is viewing the amount of work it would have to do to make them work well in the game isn't larger in comparison to expanding the game in other ways. hmmmm.... ???

that could well be the case . however that being said what irritates me about Maxis is they dont seem to hear us on any of he key thing we would like to have ie new animations /interactions with babies/toddler etc...... more things for toddlers and children to play with. more realism in visiting other sims. i fMrs Smith wants to visit her daughter Valerie two houses away she cant just walk out the door and down the street toher daughters house no she a) first needs an invite from Valerie and b) either has to use a taxi or her own car if you have nightlife two go two houses away

Now that is something I would expect them to change, and the sooner the better. Uni had students walking through the edge portals to attend class. I see no reason why a portal can't be constructed that will give you a choice of at least community lots to walk to. Why does one need a car to go down or across the street to a shop or park?

I want some of the hairstyles that they had in screenshots but didnt include in the game, like Brandi Brokes hair when she was a kid, or some of the hairstyles in that little game they had up for download before TS2 came out were you had to guess who the parents of the kids were...I would like some basic objects that we had in TS1 like picnic tables, and some things they had in eps. And more themes
I would rather buy it in a store than online...
