Ich habe hier noch mal diese alte Umfrage, die damals glaub ich um die Nightlife-Zeit herum veröffentlicht wurde. Einiges darin ist ja schon für Addons für Sims 2 umgesetzt worden.
Ganz am Anfang steht ja auch das mit den „Castaways“. Vielleicht dachten sie ja mal, sie könnten aus dem Thema ein Addon machen, haben schon daran gearbeitet und dann gemerkt, dass es schlecht als Addon zu integrieren sei. Vielleicht haben sie dann ja gedacht, ach, wenn wir diesen Sims-Geschichten-Kram machen, da würde es ja super dazu passen.
Here's some of the info from a survey from the Sims 2.com:
• Your Sims are castaways on a tropical island. Build a new home in the rainforest and work with other Sims to forage, farm, and fish. Design new furnishings for your Sims as you create their new life in paradise.
• There’s a new hospital in the neighborhood and your Sims are keeping the neighborhood happy and healthy. Choose a medical specialty including medicine, physical therapy, surgeon, or psychiatry and tend to other Sims who are ill. Heal the patients and determine how the relationships between the doctors, nurses, and patients unfold. The actions your Sims choose may affect the health and happiness of the whole neighborhood!
• Create the perfect pet for your Sims to train, play and love through life’s great moments. Create and breed unique dogs and cats and give them personalities. Your Sims can also train their pets, teach them to do tricks, or get them a career in show business or security.
• Take a break from your Sims’ daily home routine and hit the outdoors for some fun! All-new seasons and weather provide your Sims with a variety of year-round activities including snowball fights, fishing, gardening, sand volleyball, and more. Build your Sims dream home to take advantage of each season from winter cottage to summer hideaway, just beware of unpredictable weather!
• Take your Sims on a trip back in time! Drop them in a fantasy neighborhood where they can live like royalty or enjoy the simple things in life. Build a masterful castle and enjoy enormous feasts with your Sims’ new friends or work on a small farm and grow crops for the townspeople.
• Something has happened in the neighborhood and it's up to your Sims to solve the mystery! Socialize with other Sims all over the neighborhood to put the different pieces of the puzzle together. Will new clues lead your Sim to new rewards or dead-ends?
• Your Sims are celebrating the seasons the entire year! Plan parties for any time of year whether it’s fall harvest, first winter snow day, summer picnic barbeque, or spring concert. Watch the neighborhood change as each weather system rolls in and use the all-new party planner to create a variety of celebrations for your Sims to mingle, mix, and party.
• Enjoy the best years of your Sims’ youth! Dive into the world of your Sims’ kids from birthdays, playground antics, and slumber parties to building tree-houses and forts, sports practice, and prom night. Forge special lifetime friendships with the new kids in the neighborhood.
