New survey on official BBS
Motoki:
LOL I love how they have to shove some new weirdo type of sim species in every addon. I could sort of see the vampires going with Nightlife, but what the hell do zombies have to do with going to college? I'm sure with the next expansion pack we'll have werewolf entrepreneurs. ::)
Sagana:
I think the weirdo types are kinda cute really - mostly because I don't find it difficult to ignore anything I don't want (I played with aliens a tiny bit but not much and totally ignored zombies). I guess vampires are harder to try and then make go away, 'least other people seem to be getting vampires everywhere, but I haven't had that in my game. I only ever saw the countess (dunno why), turned some sims into vampires, changed 'em back and see the countess out now and then, but nobody is trying to bite my sims at least. Course I'm very controlling... <control-freak here>
Werewolves should come with pets, and personally I don't want that anytime soon. Unleashed was so bad for me, I quit playing sims1. If they do a pet expansion, it needs to be much better'n that. I love NL tho and I was scared, as I had trouble with Hot Date too. IMO, the *best* thing about NL is they managed to make it fun to go downtown without lagging the game so bad it wasn't worth playing. I hafta give 'em kudos for that. I'm rather looking forward to business - at home business stuff is my favorite idea and I always want more (off to look up that computer, I don't have it yet :) Thanks!)

I would like them to improve the visitors to the community lots.
I do not want to see children or teens on a community lot during school hours, nor anyone there when they should be at work. Do not want to see children on the lot at 2am without parents (or even with)
If I send a Romance Sim out while his children are at school and his wife is at work, they should NOT show up on the lot until it's done. If the game can recognize they are unavailable when I phone, why can't it do the same for community lots?
Ahh, those are great points that I didn't even think of. And as for the date thing, what lot do you mean? Do you mean on community lots? So like you are making your sim cheat on his wife? Hehe. ;D How evil! But, you know what? You could also think of it this way... maybe your kids and your wife are playing hooky from school or work. :P So... there's that risk factor you take with cheating. You never know if your kids or wife might catch you. Now for adults, I think it would be ok. But for kids, I think it would be funny if you catch them on a community lot or whatever, during school hours. If you're the parent, you should be able to "Bust" them for playin hooky and "Lecture" them. Now that would be cool and more realistic. :D

Oh my god!!! Syberspunk! That's incredible! its unbelivable the amount of character you can put in a single post. hahahaha, all of your posts are gigantic!! everytime I see your name in a thread i just have to go in. I try to guess the size of it. :D hehehe...
Haha, I get that a lot. :P It's funny because it's either a blessing or a curse. People either find my posts interesting and entertaining, or far too long, drawn out, rambly, and annoying. I just have the "gift of gab" and a painful habit of being overly verbose when it comes to posting/typing. I tend to also leave very looooooooooooonng voice mails. My friends hate/love me for that as well. ;) And I also have weekly email updates to my students, who totally hate/love me for that too. Lol. You win some, you lose some.
And as for the survey... well I saw this thread, and I immediately went there and was able to do the survey fine. I was like in the middle of doing it, and this was well after Motoki had posted that it was full. *shrugs* I'm using IE on my laptop. It did have intermitten spasms, where I would click the button for the Next Question, and it didn't load. I would just close my browser and it re-open a new one, and it loaded back to the page I was on. Is it possible that you are on some big network (like a school network) which I suppose would broadcast a general LAN/WAN IP. And therefore, perhaps if one person took the survey on your campus (if you go to school), then the site thinks that it was already taken? I'm just grasping for straws. :P
Oh and back to linolino's post, I agree that things are not as challenging. You know what might be neat: Age Specific Wants or Lifetime Wants or Aspiration Rewards. What I mean by this, is that things you might only be able to achieve during a certain age, and would never be able to again once you get past that age. Sorta of like, you know, the things you want to do before you're 30. Babies already have something like that, where they want to learn how to walk, talk, and be potty trained. Wouldn't it be neat if there were sort of age specific LTWs? It might spice things up. If you don't manage to achieve an LTW, maybe it rerolls your LTW that are related to the current Age. I can't think of a good example right now tho...
I'm sure some of you might have played Sims Bustin' Out? I thought it was pretty cool that specific sims from different households had specific socials. And you had to unlock these by doing certain tasks and you eventually "learned" that social from the sim in that household. It was pretty cool. Kind of like how only SS members have that secret society handshake. It might be a neat way to make sims more individually distinct. I like that Capt. Hero idea.
And I also love the funny weird thing NPCs and monster/supernatural sim types that they add. I actually would want Werewolves too. But then I'm a HUGE Buffy fan as well, so I'd also want Witches/Magic back in the game too. :P Maybe then I could actually make a whole Buffy set. Hehehe. ;D
As for the zombies... well maybe it's a stretch, but have you seen Shaun of the Dead? You know how it parodies life in general and how you might feel/seem like a zombie. Well school can feel that way too. Just goin through the motions, gettin up to go to class all the time, partying (well so I've heard :P), studying, homework, taking your final exams, wash, rinse, repeat the next semester. Often times, you literally feel brain dead too. :P I thought it was kind of a cute analogy and was kind of perfect for University. But I don't know, maybe I'm just over thinking things and it was a odd coincidence that only I find amusingly witty. :-\
Oooh... and I suppose Werewolves would make sense with a Pets expansion. Hrm... I guess that might be something to look forward to, at least for me. Now what could they add along with Open for Business? Frankenstein? Bill Gates? Those are both quite unnaturally monsterous. I don't know what else supernatural would be related to Business. :P

Motoki:
I'm not in college. I'm in an apartment on a small commercial ISP (nothing well known that like AOL or anything like that). I can't think of why in the world it wouldn't let me in but I swear that it wouldn't and I kept trying too.

I was at work with msn for dial up (yay getting DSL next week!) connection when I tried the to get onto the survey first thing this morning and I kept getting the survey is full message as well. Maybe the BBS just hates us, Motoki. ;)
