Some new chance cards, like one for a child or teen, asking which book he should do a report on - some boring classic novel with lots of words ending in 'eth' or the novel he found in his parents' bedroom, titled "Paddle Faster!". If the kid chooses the latter, he'll either get an award for a provocative composition and of course some film/lit. enthusiasm, or get suspended and sent to a psychologist, at the parents' expense.

@ Mootilda , I'd be very interested in that Social Welfare mod from ToolRegame that you mentioned in post #979. Thank you!
Edit: Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!

A hack or mod, so the home services (house cleaning, nanny etc) will cost much more, so poor sims can not afford them.

A way for children to have "jobs" that act as extra-curricular activities. When I bought the Freetime EP I wondered if this would be incorporated with all the hobbies that Sims can do, but sadly it wasn't I've done this myself for teens once, or rather I asked Lientebollemeis to make a custom ballet class career for me! It's really quite a cute idea, using the wages as scholarships for all the "equipment" and "lessons"! Haha! If you want to download it, its here! But yeah, I would love to see little girls running off to ballet practice in their tutus, or cheerleading practice. And boys going to soccer practice, then bringing back an army of young boys to eat all the food in the fridge and play noisy video games! Heehee

I zipped up everything that I have about the mod, including pictures and instructions.

Expensive NPCs in MATY's director's cut (also, if you're comfortable with SimPE, you can adjust the costs to your liking).

Wow, so many hacks... I downloaded the entire directory and installed "expensive npcs".
I love it when the maid comes in their white van. But, it has to cost otherwise its not fun.
I have tried googling after "sims service fees" and so on, but I could not find anything. Thank you!

**Update** Yes it works, the sims have a hard time now. It is probably best to install the social welfare mod in case some sim will need support assistance.

An elevator that plays Muzak.

Preferably "The Girl from Ipanema".

A mod that makes the invisible motives of plantsims visible. Ever notice how a plantsim might be in a horrendously bad mood despite the sunshine, water and love bars being almost completely filled? It's because plantsims still have the comfort and fun motives, though probably not environment or hygiene. Players don't often notice this because when they're filling the water and social motives, they also may be filling comfort and fun. So a plantsim's mood might be in deep red if he or she doesn't sit down or do anything fun.

One to get rid of that stupid swooning/whistling at Romance sims. It's really annoying. Also one that prevents food from burning.

No Romance Swoon

One for people without any EPs. I should have said. Anything I want is for base game only.

Oh yeah. *sigh* You'd be so much easier to help if you weren't base game only.

I hope you can get the EPs someday - they are AWESOME!

I actually have Uni and NL but won't install it. Too many problems. Don't want to lose hacks that aren't compatable and don't want some of the crap that comes with. Besides the fact when I tried they didn't work right and uninstalling deleted everything. Why would EA have made it that uninstalling EPs deletes everything (not just neighborhoods but all CC) other than to just be an ass?

Simlogical has a sign and a door that make sims change into normal clothes when they enter or leave a room.

I'm curious, what is the secret dorm room technique?

Note - I downloaded the "no swooning" hack anyway to test it. Game doesn't crash and it appears to work. I suppose it may have only been tested for NL and higher but still is compatable. If it had caused (or does cause) problems it's easy to find. Not one of those "i684857853e9838785" type file names.

eta played for some time using Romance sims and no problems, no swooning/whistling so I'm calling it compatable with base game.

Delivery option for Grandma's Soup, for my sick families that aren't family aspired Then again, I could make a soup kitchen/bakery style... *runs off with new idea*

Recipes. I doubt we'll ever see it but one thing I really really wish they would have imported over from the Sims 2 console versions was the ability to create stuff by mixing harvested items and getting boosted benefits from them.
Also the fish tank that you could harvest seafood out of.

But you can make concoctions with benefits out of harvested items. It came with Seasons. As did edible fish pulled out of the fish pond, though not the tank.

Omg, I'm so glad they didn't have the recipe thing in the regular PC game. Having to direct sims on exactly what ingredients to use for each meal was something I out and out hated in the console game, which I was only able to tolerate for a few hours before deciding I just was not going to ever get into it. Bleh.

I suppose the feature appeals to players who like to cook irl, so it would make sense that I wouldn't like it myself. Not that I'm not a good cook (I am), but my favorite food is basically anything tasty that was made by someone else.

A modified classic dance that's not considered romantic, so a Sim can dance with her dad at her wedding and stuff like that.

No splashing in hot tubs. One to make there be no helicopters (ie jobs that use them use cars instead.) No objects breaking EVER. No browsing in community lots - so the visitors don't get in your way when your sim wants to buy clothing.
All for base game only, of course.

No splashing in hot tubs? What's wrong with splashing in hot tubs? What're sims who aren't in love supposed to do, just sit there?

And if objects don't break, you don't get mechanical points for fixing them.

I hate the splashing. Only time I use the hot tub is for woohooing. And I don't care about getting mechanical points - if I want them I study it or watch the mod FIY channel. I'd rather not have stuff break - especially as often as it does in game. And you can't fix the clock.
Actually I often wish you could turn free will off for visitors. I always have it off for playables because if it's on they always do stuff I don't want them to do.
