Carrigon had a thunderstorm obelisk that could knock the power out, but I could never get it to work correctly and didn't want to 50/50 it. I'll send it to you if you want to try it though, especially considering what a pain it is to get her stuff off 4shared.

Since we were talking about it here and it doesn't seem to exist: I'd love a functional storage unit - an object that functions similarly to a sim's inventory so that families/households/groups can keep their items in one place. It's probably not possible, but oh, well, no harm in posting it anyway.

In that vein, also as we mentioned in the above thread, it'd be nice if there was a pop-up to ask you if you'd like to transfer the contents of a deceased sim's inventory to another sim - because I wonder how an urn can fit all those graduation certificates, dining tables, pizza boxes, and full produce baskets... I guess the same way one sim's inventory can hold it.

Minor want but I'd also like to see a mod allowing the storage of pizza and Chinese takeout as leftovers. There's the option of using custom versions or just the inventory system, though options are nice.

Cuz ashes don't really take up a whole lot of space! haha. Fitting the un-cremated goods into a 6 foot hole, now THAT'S an accomplishment!

Maybe Grim takes the inventory contents as payment for his services.

Online share play for TS2. I'd love to build lots with my friend.

A hack that stops Sims from using a household bar when a bartender is present. And maybe an option whether he just serves the drinks or just tends the bar. Would make the party service npc somewhat more useful.

I rather want him to give that stuff as heritage for living relatives of the deceased sim. Doesn't make much difference in gameplay If Grim took it, but there would many routes of possibilities If sims could inherint stuff rather than just money.

There is this hack that transfers all the inventory of the about-to-be-deceased to their living relatives:

Inventory Transfer Vase

While it does not remind one to do the transfer, it does do the job. As for points that may have accrued, there's always BO's inventory book to keep them all in. So the deceased really leaves empty handed.

If you have any money in Monique's computer bank account, elders may also automatically withdraw it all a day before their demise.

Thanks - I already mentioned using the transfer vase in the original WCIF thread. I was just thinking that the functional storage unit and automatic pop-ups would be useful since I don't use Monique's computer for bank accounts and loans and I have several sims who don't die of old age, meaning that I have to actively remember to summon a deceased sim to transfer certain assets in case they suddenly and/or accidentally died, especially if it wasn't on their home lot and if they lived alone.

I'd like to see more of those creative tables (Sorry i forgot the word for it) like the flower making one and the ones Sunni made. Maybe a gnome making one like in TS1? Or medical table? Or other things where sims can make things themselves and then sell them. I think it'd give lots of ideas for businesses. I know there are quite many of them already but more could not hurt. I kind of wish i could have modding skills to make some by myself. I also kind of wish someone would mod the career reward thing from the science career so you could sell the medicine you have made too.

I saw a custom woodworking table, but I forgot the link. It might be in the "awesome things" thread.

@FranH Thank you for posting the inventory vase link. I was just wondering how I could transfer my elder sims Aspiration points to their children before they pass away. Boy, I tell ya, some of yall are some mind readers around here.

@Bulbizarre Are you talking about DeeDee-Sims Woodworking Bench? http://deedee-sims.tumblr.com/post/...nal-woodworking

I, too, would like a 'inventory storage unit' as a matter of personal taste-but Sunni did make a 'U-Move Self Storage' unit a very long time ago that was an owner occupied lot:

I would figure that one could give all of the items needed to be stored there to the 'owner' and they could sell it when one died or something like that.

This one? http://deedee-sims.tumblr.com/post/...nal-woodworking

I wish Maxis made more fresh foods that were unlocked with fresh ingredients, like tomatoes and eggplants would unlock eggplant parmesan, apples could unlock apple pie or applesauce for the toddlers.

It would be nice to be able to set menus for un-owned restaurants. I'm getting a bit tired of seeing hamburgers served at my expensive seafood restaurant and lobster thermidor at the local greasy spoon diner.

I just make a sim to be owner, set them up and leave them.

I made a grill cheese restaurant once, years ago.

Flipping GORGEOUS! I'm nuts about those round stair corners, HugeLunatic! Thankyou!

Thanks for replying d4RE. I was thinking mainly of the concrete stairs that came with the game "Almost Indestructible" $65. Those are the ones I usually use outside for big official buildings. I've tried to get the effect I'm thinking of by extending the foundation out beside the stairs and then sloping it downward to follow the descent of the stairs, but obviously that only works with foundations that are more than four clicks high. And because the foundation piece is a whole square in width, that's too wide to really create the effect I'm after unless the staircase is five or six wide. And it doesn't flare out at the bottom in any sort of fancy-shmancy way either, so it's really not the greatest method. However, that's what I've done on a few of my buildings, just to create a sense of an entrance that befits a big, monumental edifice. I think if the railing was about the same width as some of those big, fat fences that hang over the edge of the deck, that would probably be about right. (I just sped through Google Images, but couldn't find anything even remotely like what I'm thinking of, which baffles me. I know I've seen this before!)

Anyway, I'm sure you get the idea. If you do end up creating something like this, please upload it here on MTS!! I'd love to see it, and I'm sure my sims would be thrilled.

Here is a crafting station for big sculptures you can make and sell, by Nadira: (Two versions, one for residential and one for community lots. I have both, they don't conflict with each other.) Found in Hobbies > Everything for $1500.

You mentioned Sunni from PBK, so I'm assuming you already have the wine-making station and the reeds crafting station. If not, I can give you the links for those if you like.

Okay, I thought of a new one. This is the wave of the future, you guys: Virtual Reality Sims. So you can walk around in the fabulous mansion you just built! All the VR games my son ever talks about are ones where everybody is trying to murder as many people as they can. I'm sure there's more potential there than just doing that.

After playing Sims 1 and thinking it was the be-all and end-all of cool . . . and then getting Sims 2 and having my poor naive head blown off by how much more sophisticated it was than it's predecessor, I remember discussing with my daughter about what Sims 3 would look like when they got that far. Or Sims 4! Gulp! She said, "They'll probably be holograms, walking around the house with us by then!" Um, apparently not.
