At the townhall today, Greg shared with us some of the stuff he is working on ...
[*]The ability to own more than one property, so that one sim can own either 2 or 3 properties on a paid account.
[*]Being able to set permissions so that friends or other players can open your lot when you are not online
[*]Use of floortiles to set permissions so that other (non roomie) players can set out items on the floor tiles on your lot.
[*]A "doorstop" - ability to have a property open when we are not there or online.
[*]Greg was asked if we could have more bookmarks (great question CountryGirl) and he said he'd look at that. The idea was then expanded so that bookmarks could count across the whole account, rather then just one sim.

#1 Hard to get excited about anything new that will take money. Since we will all be broke and it will be close to imposible to buy one lot let alone a number of lots. But I do question the need. We have 8 sims per account. Why does one sim need more then one house?
#2 Unless they can cook what good with this action be.
#3 If by this u mean we could bring pets with us and let them out to play that could be cool. Or do u mean we can bring our own jam table cause the owner is too poor to buy them?
#4 hmmm sound like #2.
#5 I guess more bookmarks would be nice, but since there are not that many people on playing anymore don't really see the need.

Have you ever been on a property when the owner/host has apologised but said they need to close and there is no-one suitable around to give temp roomie priviledges to? Have you ever wanted to craft but not been able to find a service lot open? Have you ever wanted to help out a friend at their house or even share a property with them, but been unable to because you already own a property? Have you ever wanted to sell a few items, but not wanted to run a store? Have you ever wished that one of your 8 sims could open your main house without being a roomate there? Have you ever wanted to participate in an event, but not gone because it would mean closing your own lot? Ever wanted to rent out an area on your lot, without giving someone roomie priviledges? Ever seen a cheap lot or great bargain that you'd like to snap up, but can't because you already own a property and all your other sims are roomies somewhere? Ever thought long term about buying and selling lots? Ever wanted someone to help design your house, do roof art for you, without having to give them full roomate status? Or they couldn't help because they already lived somewhere?
All of these things would be possible (and probably more) in the future.
Teams of friends will be able to form a group and have permissions to open each other's properties. I'm pretty sure that being able to cook could be one of the possibilities included in this.
Being able to set an item out on a store lot so that someone can buy it for the asking price, would be one of the best ways to erradicate some of the trade scams we've seen occuring over the past 5 and a bit years.
Being able to "rent" out space on our lots would be an interesting money making opportunity for many. Being a house designer, but already owning a property would no longer be a problem.
Maybe its just me, but I can see many great benefits to this. As with everything we see in game, there will be loopholes and potential issues that will need to be ironed out as part of the design process.

Nevertheless - these things are not what the game needs
right now.
These would be fine to include at some point, but what we need is a great big infusion of fun. There isn't much in the game these days and that's the point of playing, after all. Isn't it?
