RM's personal wishlist for LifePlay (updated irregularly)

[robert-monotoli]

Hello! I thought I'd make an index of my ideas. Will update this from time to time, so keep eyes out for that! Comments will be added to announce any updates for this post.

Note: Some of the items here will have a link to an "issue", where the idea is expanded upon.

Gameplay

• [ ] Add outdoor locations such as:
  • Beaches (butt secks on the beach! 😜 )
  • Swimming pools
  • Parks
  • More to add here later
• [ ] Expanded mechanics for business, work, and finance. Stocks and what-not.
• [ ] More careers and jobs.
  • Career system could be a rank-and-ladder. A career may be made up of different jobs that corresponds to a rank.
  • To make it even more interesting, a career may have two or more branches. For example, law enforcement career may have detective and patrol branches.
• [ ] Traits system for the characters
• [ ] Favorites system
• [ ] Additional place types:
  • Casino
  • City hall (unique type; can only be added once in a map)
  • Newspaper office
  • Sex shop
  • Adult cinema
  • Museum.
  • More to add later.
• [ ] Service NPCs such as maid/butler.
• [ ] Action to cook a meal FOR the household. Should be able to do this only once per a meal period in any day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
• [ ] Functional furniture
• [ ] Personalities / traits and other factors (karma, intelligence, etc.) that impacts the event options where it can appear or not appear at all depending on these factors. Personality / traits may be represented as icons on the event options showing that the event options were unlocked because of them. Similar to how it worked in Crusader Kings II and to some extent in Europa Universalis IV.
• [ ] More to add here!

Interface

• [ ] New mapping system for a city (already have been discussed at length at the Discord server).
  • Should permit a player to build their own city and personalize it.
  • Allow us to add street names and district names that can be used in events.
  • Address numbers may be automatically generated for purposes such as answering a call when working as a police officer or a detective.
• [ ] Tooltips for actions should display text for modifiers in appropriate color.
  • Positive modifier should be green and negative modifier should be red.
• [ ] Each option during a event scene should display a tooltip listing the effects for that option, similar to how it worked in Europa Universalis 4 for an event. However, they may be hidden by default, with an option in the setting to toggle it on or off.
• [ ] Add more 3D rooms
• [ ] Change clothes interface should be similar to Create A Sim in The Sims 4.
  • All clothing items should be categorized into collapsible tabs such as:
    • Bras
    • Underwear
    • Accessories
    • Etc.
  • Then you should be able to set Outfits for specific circumstances such as:
    • Everyday
    • Formal
    • Athletic
    • Sleep
    • Party
    • Swimwear
    • Hot Weather
    • Cold Weather.
• [ ] A shopping cart interface to display what you have brought so far while shopping at a place.
• [ ] An interface displaying a list of total modifier values for each stat (e.g. fertility from birth control; perversion from clothing; etc.)
• [ ] Improved save file management system.
• [ ] Sex scene interface should display whether your female character or female NPC is on birth control pill
  • Constantly checking to see if "take a birth control" action is greyed out or not can be tedious and you cannot even check that during a sex scene.
  • It may be represented as an icon at the edge of scene screen.
• [ ] Incestuous Tension stat value for a given NPC should be displayed on the Contacts information for that NPC. No need to go into Edit Stats to see it.
• [ ] "Buy Apparel" and "Change Clothes" scenes should be similarly organized into different categories such as Underwear, Tops, etc.
• [x] Tan lines
• [ ] Additional clothing items:
  • Undress states of clothing items. For example:
  • Open version of bras (exposing breasts but still on; example here)
  • Garter belts (a waist band with suspenders)
  • Socks and knee socks
• [ ] Additional hairstyles
  • [ ] A ponytail over the shoulder for females. Here are examples one, two, three, four, and five to illustrate what is meant by that.

Modding

• [ ] Add a trigger for a specific date or a specific month; useful for holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving.

Assorted

• [ ] When 3D bathroom is added, enable sex scenes there.
  • Not all sex positions may be appropriate for various parts of the room so it should be context-specific. Missionary would probably not be comfortable in bathtub. 😛
• [ ] Add relationship level status (as opposed to relationship status) that indicates the person's perception of your character:
  • Stranger
  • Acquaintance
  • Friend
  • Best Friend or Close Friend
  • Lover
  • Married.

Again, I will update this from time to time.
