Talk:List of Wishes

Major Overhaul of Wishes Page
I'm currently working on a major edit, formatting, and overhaul of this page. Over a hundred things have been added so far. As each of these sections are amended it may be beneficial to have future incomplete pieces of information posted on the talk page like below rather than added without all the information. Since the primary game has so many Wishes a future consideration of splitting this article into separate pages to avoid having an extremely lengthy article may be useful.

 * I've paid attention to your work recently, and I'm actually impressed with it. I agree, it needs a major overhaul. I suggest that we separate the wishes either by categories and divide it into sub-pages like the ones in list of Moodlets, or, by expansion pack. I prefer if we separate them by categories, such as by skills, careers, school, travel, pets, and so on, for example.


 * I never really bothered maintaining the list of wishes, and I even considered deleting the list. It's very difficult to keep track of the entire list, and I believe the number reaches a thousand! Okay, I don't really know, but I'm pretty sure it's a lot. I'd love to lend you a helping hand if you're willing to continue on the list and not stop in the middle of the work. For starters, we could discuss what to list and what not to list here.


 * We can start by making some regulations here. There are some things I'd like to point out:
 * We shouldn't list generic wishes that have a lot of variations. For example, Join Firefighter Career, Join Gardener Career, and Join Any Career are all the same wishes with the same descriptions, only with different variations. We really should just group them into one wish so we don't clutter the category.
 * I suggest we should use the in-game icons with transparent background. I have many here, but that's not all. I can provide you all the icons if you want. Also, it's best to use generic icons than specific object / Sim for the icon like the clownfish icon for Catch [#] [Fish Name].
 * The lifetime happiness point really needs to be revamped and re-researched, as it might not be accurate. The point of some wishes is greater if the wish is related to the Sim's LTW, if the Sim is in midlife crisis, or if it's a seasonal holiday.

Greatly expanded the World Adventures sub section and acquired pictures for 90% of the Wishes. Willlamme1988 (talk) 05:04, May 3, 2014 (UTC)

Late Night Wishes
I added most of the wishes that I could remember from Late Night. Of course, I can't get all their descriptions and icons so I need you guys to help me out here. If you find any wishes that belong to late night (e.g. Celebrity, Club/Lounge, or Vampire related,) please upload and copy them so we can get this expansion completed.

Un-added wish
Sorry for the sucky heading, but I couldn't think of a better way to put it. My Sim has a wish to "See 's Ghost". It's worth 600 Lifetime Happiness. The only game I have is the original The Sims 3.

Incomplete list?
List of Wants is nearly impossible to complete, not to mention this? The lifetime happiness points awarded are always varied from different Sims, depending on their traits, making the entire value in this list meaningless (unless someone can provide a base score for each wish fulfilled).

 * This is actually entirely possible. In the game when a wish is presented within the selection box it has a transparent sunburst layer beneath the icon. It is easily possible for a player to detirmine whether or not they are looking at a Wish that has had its base score modified or if its the standard base want. Willlamme1988 (talk) 05:04, May 3, 2014 (UTC)

Misc
My Sim had a wish to "Be Worth At Least 1,000,000 Simoleons"
 * That is a lifetime wish. --a_morris (talk) 17:05, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
