What's on YOUR Wish List?
professorbutters:
I want times 1,000 that there was a SimPE for Mac. There are so many things I can't do--extract Sims, fix DNA, fix relationships--the list goes on and on. I can do a little relationship editing with InSim, but in order to make three Sims first cousins, I had to create five sims and kill them off. And don't get me started on genetics. I have several Sims who were uploaded without CC, but who really ought to have things like genetic red eyes. Of course, if there was a way to do any of this in game, this wouldn't be a problem.
I also want a Pet version of ACR. Heat. No need for relationships (seriously, what is up with that? Did you ever know a cat who needed a relationship to mate?) Spay or neuter, or be up to your butt in kittens.
I don't understand why there is a hack that makes your Sims behave like animals, but nothing to make your animals behave like animals.

A mod to make the BFF concept less stupid without eliminating it or consigning it to children/teens. Call it something else (possibly also involving a rename of 'Best Friends' in the deal -- turn BFF into Best Friend and Best Friend into Close Friend? I dunno -- or leave Best Friend as is and turn BFF into Lifetime Friend or something?), up the requirements to reach it (2 Sim days? Whut?), and it'd actually be reasonable.
Why? There's already "friends" and "best friends"; having a super-nifty-shiny-extra-SPESUL-friend on top of that is stupid. Sim best friends are usually lifetime friends anyhow, as long as you do the minimum amount of maintenance it takes to keep them that way. BFFs would be meaningful only if you automatically lost all your other friends at each age increase.
akatonbo:
It's already in the game and I tend to prefer modifying aspects of the game I don't like until they make more sense over nuking them outright, the existing best friend status is absurdly easy to achieve and BFF at least takes longer to get to, the concept of more tiers of friendship appeals to me (although it would be more appealing if it were made to have more significance, which is yet another set of changes), and I like the concept of the "inside joke" interaction too.
Actually, what would probably make more sense would be to also limit the number, either to 1 (a la marriage) or a very small number (i.e. 3) -- maybe even 3 for popularity Sims and 1 for everyone else -- which would tend to suggest also making it a status one has some control over (like marriage). But the more changes the less likely that anyone other than 'me after I spend months learning to mod' would ever give it a second thought. :P
Cappuccino:
Well, bffsarefor12s doesn't nuke the concept, it actually makes it sound more like "best friends I've kept from my childhood". I do like your suggestion of limiting the number of BFFs a sim can have though.

I am with you on that. With most tom cats; if it has pointy ears, fur and doesn't bark they will try to mate with it, this includes other tom cats of course.
My dad grew up on a farm and tells stories from those days all the time... He was telling stories to his grand kids (my neices and nephew) the other day while I was there and told one about a farm near where he grew up that had three bulls. A six year old bull, a four year old bull and a two year old bull. The farmer wanted to bring some new blood into the herd so he bought a new bull. As the truck arrived with the new bull the three old ones were talking and the six year old bull, who still had 60 percent of the cows in his group, said "He ain't gettin' any of my cows!" and the four year old, who had 30 percent, said "Mine either!". Well the two year old said "I ain't got enough to give him any!" About this time they got the new bull out of the trailer. Unlike the three previous bulls this one was a Brahma bull, one of the huge bulls with a equally huge hump on his back making him look real tough. Well the oldest bull took one look at the Brahma bull and said, "Well maybe he can have some of my cows." The middle bull said, "Mine too!" and the youngest bull started pawing the ground and acting pissed off. The oldest bull said, "Quit that shit out he's gonna kill you and take all your cows if you don't settle down!" The youngest bull snorted and replied, "He can have the damn cows, I just want to make sure he knows I am a bull."
I think the tom cats should make sure other cats know they are tom cats...
