Two TS3 Ideas
first one that would be cool is status reports from work or school example:
Bob had a nice day at work today. He made a great presentation and impressed the boss. He is a shoe in for that promotion. Also his relationship has gotten a little steamy with Sally after hours. Invite her over maybe for a nice dinner.
or
Edwards day at school wasnt too good. Since he didnt study he got an F on his math test his grades now are C, C+, A, B, D, C-, B-, and F. He should get more time to study. He also met Bob at recess and they have a scheduled playdate on saturday, call him if you want to cancel.
Another idea is some sort of chance for a sim who got their child taken a way to have some sort of chance to get them back
