What's on YOUR Wish List?
Zazazu:
Ditto on the fave food. As for stray dogs, if you still want them in general you can just download and place Business Runs You (here) and make them bugger off.

I play with my fingers over the 1,2 and 3 keys all the time, and use them pretty automatically now :)
Pisses me off so much when I accidentally hit the Number Lock key and can't figure out why the controls aren't working. My keyboard is in an odd place. I can't actually see where my hands are most of the time. I need a tiny keyboard.

Probably not mod-worthy, but on my list of annoyances I'd love to wish away... It irritates me to no end when, after I've just schlepped my sim's arse on down to the pet store and spent 20 minutes designing the new family pet, before my sim even gets the chance to say hi to their newly-created friend, there are 8 townie jerks lining up to bogart the new kitty and fling it into the air. Manners, people!
(If it weren't for TJ's "No Pet Obsession" my pet-owning families would never throw a party again.)
Inge:
More wish:
Sims should really understand classes of object. Heck - objects should *have* classes. Sims should know what is *a* swing, *a* toilet, *a* chess set etc. When sims visit a lot that has types of objects they don't own at home they should recognise that fact and make an effort to try the new experiences. Their programming for arrival at any new lot should be "find best object for novelty" - depending on personality. Some sims may shy away from novelty, but they should have some idea what has restricted availabilty to them and take advantage of it when it's available.

Also I think I've mentioned this one somewhere before, but another item on my Wish List is a mod that will speed the clock up when the only one awake in the house is the stupid cat. I love playing families with pets (especially with two or more because then they can entertain each other and only be interacted with when it's convenient, lol), but I'd dearly love to be able to get that "auto-3x time" back when all the hoomans are sleeping or at work.
Don't have Pets, but I hereby Officially Wish for a mod to "auto-3x time" when everybody is sleeping AND/OR meditating.
When did that go away, anyway? I seem to remember it being part of the normal game. Did EA break it, or was it deliberately removed?
I do notice sims seem to have different wants for objects on community lots- I don't think I've seen my sims have a want to "play chess" much. It would be nice if the wants that we might otherwise want to stomp completely would trigger on community lots, when the object is present.
I'd like the influence system to be more interesting and useful. I'd like sims to be able to influence...action with ME (not another sim), and for influenced actions to not necessarily be rejected. Or an influence...attack. I'd like to see children and teens influence others to do their homework- why should it only be for uni students? I'd like to see wants to reach the next influence level, or the influence level being a factor in promotions, or maybe even chemistry. I'd like to see sims influence other sims to work as employees, if only temporarily, and to properly garden. It would also be nice if you could influence a sim to develop a skill--like a townie teen, for example, or a visitor, or to activate a servo if you want their skills.
I'd like the aspirations to be more dynamic, and also to include more generic, random wants outside of the aspiration. It could be all in my head, but I feel like they've been getting less and less so with each EP, and it makes the sims a lot more boring. They just have fewer possible wants, period. I miss knowledge and money sims having wants to get married and fall in love, for example, or family sims wanting to randomly eat an omelette, or pay attention to their spouse. And it would be nice if the popularity aspiration had more "influence and power" kinds of wants. I know freetime was supposed to help with that, but I doubt it really made much difference in the way I am hoping for. I suspect the available wants are even more limited, and not less. I'd also like to see better wants and fears for pleasure sims, and more turn-ons/offs. You can really tell that stuff was just phoned in--all concept, no implementation.
Last, I'd really like it if any adult in the household with sufficient relationship could encourage a child. There's no reason they should have to be related. It's pointless. In real life, kids are influenced by adults not their parents (like teachers, aunts & uncles, family friends).
jolrei:
I always get auto-3x-time whenever a whole house is asleep. Like Inge, I also play with my fingers over the "pause"-1-2-3 keys and switch between. 2x is my usual running speed.
I would also like "influence action with ME".
