The Image Designers have some great ideas, but I'm under the impression that the entire profession could use a slight "doubling" of value.


For starters, the Hairstyling and Facial columns need to be combined, and the Bodyform and Marking columns need to be combined.


Two additional columns should then be added: Botany and Arborist Studies. The Botany column should endow the Designer with the ability to work with Player cities and layout any floral arrangements they have knowledge of. The Arborist works in a similar manner, placing various trees.


The graphical database for both are extensive, with existing plants / trees only found on certain planets. It would be a valuable bonus to any player city to have the ability to place these where desired.


Profession: Designer


Floral Arrangements:
Level 1: Floral Arrangements +1
Level 2: Floral Arrangements +1
Level 3: Floral Arrangements +1
Level 4: Floral Arrangements +1

Arborist Management:
Level 1: Floral Management +1
Level 2: Floral Management +1
Level 3: Floral Management +1
Level 4: Floral Management +1


Hair and Face:
Level 1: Hair Styling +1
Face Forming +1
Level 2: Hair Styling +2
Face Forming +1
Level 3: Hair Styling +2

Level 4: Hair Styling +2

Bodyforms and Markings:
Level 1: Bodyforms +1

Level 2: Bodyforms +1

Level 3: Bodyforms +2

Level 4: Bodyforms +2

While this is an interesting idea, and well-presented, I think the majority of us signed on to this profession to do hair, makeup, and makeovers, not flower arrangements.

Very neat ideas, but I think they would be much more valued by the Interior Design branch of Architecture I think Interior Design could be a fun profession in itself if there were a lot more decorative and furniture objects available in the game

Voor dust off old idea and adds to it




Since "Image Designers" are not really Entertainers, and there is a missing entertainer (Singer). How about replacing ID with "Singer" and making a new starting profession "Visual Artist".


Visual Artist - Like the other starting professions it should have 4 trees, Hairstyling Customization, Wildlife and landscape Studies, Painting, and Sculpting.


The advance professions that this new starting profession will lead to are;



  • Image Designer
  • Requirements: Visual Artist 4-0-0-0

  • Painter and/or Photographer
  • Requirements: Visual Artist 0-4-4-0

  • Interer Designer
  • Requirements: Visual Artist 0-0-4-4 andArchitecture 4-0-0-0

  • Sculptor
  • Requirements: Visual Artist 0-4-0-4

  • Taxidermist
  • Requirements: Visual Artist 0-4-0-0 and Scout 0-0-4-0







P.S. I would think the Singer's songs would be "The SIMs" style in that you could hear the words but really can't make them out. Also I would hope there would be a ( /sing text ) command that causes your text to flot above your head like notes do, but don't Spam the text box.

I can see granting abilities if the profession is combined with architecture.... VERY interesting concepts.


Without integrating architecture I wouldn't be able to agree though, hehe.


Though, our trees might do better if combined.... they'd do a HECK of a lot better if they had mroe content though.... ::mutter::

Sir Voor again manages to offer up interesting possibilities to enhance this profession

Visual artist would definitely make for fun and dynamic game play. It would be such a hybrid class that it would probably inspire much more interest than ID garners now.

Sir_Voor, your ideas are entirely too cool. The painting / photographer thought is brilliant. It would give players with ideas like this a way to see their screenshots in their own homes.


Again, entirely too cool. I really really wish that your thoughts were they were the game was.
