I guess I'll go first since it was my idea in the first place!
Game Title: Family
"Back-of-the-box" Game Summary:
Family is the strongest bond a sim can have and now you can enhance that bond with a myrid of new and exciting adventures for the whole family to enjoy. Whether its a little league soccer game, a camping trip, a vacation to a grand hotel, or just a fun evening at the ice cream parlor and movie theatre, your sims will be able to capture all those special moments together.
New Gameplay Feature(s):
*Time continues into community lots so you can stay there overnight.
*Taking infants and toddlers can go to community lots w/ stollers (day-care option)
*Gift Buying/Giving
*Visiting Another Sim (their aging stands still, and you are the controlable player... take the kids to see grandma!)
*Organizations on Community Lots (soccer, t-ball, art class, chess club)
*Family Calander (To keep track of birthdays, parties, work schedules, and organization events)
*Seasons/Weather (rake the leaves, make a snowman, play in the rain)
New Social Interation(s):
*Singing/Rocking/Sitting to babies
*Holding Children's hands (swinging if there's someone on both sides)
*"Scrapbook" (+Creativity, group activity)
*"Bond With" with options such as "Catch Lighting Bugs", "Piggy Back", "Rough house", "Superman", "Teach to Dance", or "Read Bedtime Story"
New Object(s):
*Baby Carrier/Swing
*Tent and Campfire for Backyard/Community Lot Camping

*Roof Enhancements - Differnet Pitches (30, 45, and 60 degrees), Diagonal Roofing Tool (to make hexagon a roof over a hexagon room instead of a square one!) Holiday Lights (with several color options).
Overall Game Enhancement(s):
*Options like seasons and weather optional.
*Dressers now let you plan your outfit for 7 days.
*Infants and Toddlers can go places too.
Commercial/Marketing Idea(s):
A setimental "old film" showing all the family's adventures.
Other Comments:
I couldn't think of a "weird" charater like an alien, a zombie, or vampire to throw in there...maybe a "Mummy!" hehehe.

^ I'd buy it. (:
See, I can't really think of any big changes I'd like to make. I'd like to mix and match clothing more (different shoes with different pants), but you can do something like that by just customizing your own clothing. I've been wanting sims to have their own cars, but that's in nightlife. Can we put furniture on diagonals? If not, I want that.
But the changes are so little that they don't really fit any scheme or theme and it wouldn't be worth putting into their own expansion. More as a side to another's. (:

The sims can't seem to function with certain pieces when they are turned, and others they can use but it sometimes has graphics errors (like my sim dude walked THROUGH the bed to go lay down on it.) But you'll just have to play with it to see which ones work for you.

CCCC: I want that without any errors, though, in an expansion pack. I want completely diagonal houses with diagonal furniture options. Half steps and porch landings without the base-thing (see? I'm at a loss of vocabulary). And such and the sort.

Something that I'd absolutely add, would be a way to change your toddler's hair.
I'm 200% annoyed by the fact that I can't.
Anyway, Amanda, your ideas sound awesome.
I'd buy it without a doubt.
xd You should be a game designer. 3nodding

I don't know what the back of the box would say or anything, but I can think of a few features I'd really like.
More sim customization.
There's not much the console games have over PC, but they do have customization features that I got really used to. Being able to change their body types was very cool, and the clothing system was very refreshing. The different layers was a nice touch and I think if it was incorporated into the PC version, it would go over very well.
With those additions, I'd be in sim heaven.

@ jhm - yeah, that was the only thing i liked about the console version. my predection is that we'll see more of that kind of stuff when they release the sims3 (i say "when" not "if" cause i'm that sure of it) I think the sims in sims3 will be more customizable than ever before... height, body type, and more genetic features that can be passed on to their kids. I'm also hoping to see a more gradual transition between the ages. I would like to see them actually age and grow in a realistic kinda of way... and maybe have a party when the reach the certain age. (if that made any sense sweatdrop )
@ panda - don't worry about it... if my ideas help you brainstorm that's cool... i didn't have all those ideas on my own. I got help from a lot of different people. Although, you ep would basically be included in what I was hoping to achieve in mine... more family outings (overnighters even) i guess you could say my ep is a combination of unleashed and vacation... i guess... i never had either of them. rolleyes
@ mychasi - why thank you! I'm glad you think so! *goes to put it in her sig*
