Yeah, we are definitely running out of ideas here but I thought of this one.

After playing the neighborhood they start you out on for a while, what if you then got to pick out a new neighborhood?  I think you can do this but here's the twist.  When you pick (or you could make but this is for picking) a neighborhood what if they had pre-made ones that are themed by certain time periods.  If you have seen the movie Hairspray you know that the clothes/styles/buildings etc. look very much like that time period.  What if you could pick the time period neighborhood and play with sims in that time period.

There could be a mideival period, a colonial time period, 50's, country/western themed one, victorian style neighborhood, modern, etc.  I know some players prefer a modern setting but I think it would be cool to mess with different time periods and homes.  It would be cool to also mix time periods like have a victorian styled neighborhood but the sims there dress modern. 

Just a thought, obviously I am bored with few to no new ideas so I just thought I would throw this out there.  Obviously probably won't happen but still, just a thought.

Maybe for that Space and Time EP i want?

that would be cool, but quite undoable for the basegame, they want to get the game out there fast, and try and get as much in from the OLD ep's a s possible.

yeah, I know but it would be cool in an EP.

That would be a great game, but I think it would have to be its own seperate thing. One deal with the sims is that its open ended. At a certain point the history would have to end, because you'd get to modern times.

Also I think the game mechanics would have to focus way more on the environment and how it changes over time than the sims. I feel like that could be an AMAZING game but something that would be more goal oriented/had specific plot points.

Yes i would like that 
and maybe you could like change history or something  {rolleyes}
Then nothing would be the same. lol
I think it'd be great as an expansion pack, and not into the base game.

i think it will be better as an expansion pack. i wouldn't ant to have a a victorian family in the base game, they never had teles and stuff so it will be Boring but as an ep it will be much better

yeah, in an ep it would be great I'm thinking.

I actually don't agree, I think keep it in the 2000 kind of period.

[edit] Sorry, I missread, I think that actually would be kinda cool

ok, lol, I was kinda like you could choose what period you want so why is this bad?  I am sometimes looking for items online that I can download to give some of my homes a different look like from a different time period so I thought this as an EP would make this a whole lot easier.
