What's on YOUR Wish List?

What I was really getting at is that it's annoying having to find a work around to create the family you want to create. CAS ought to let you do what you want in the first place.
I take it, then, that CAS won't let you create a family the normal way, and then age certain sims in CAS once the children are created? I've never actually tried aging parent or child sims in CAS (as opposed to single sims), so I don't know if it would work, but CAS does allow you to change a sim's age once the sim is created (before you save to the neighbourhood, of course). I'd think that if, say, you wanted elderly sims with a teenage child, you could just create two adults, create a child, and then age everybody appropriately. Does this not work in CAS?
ETA: I wish that regular CAS worked the way Uni CAS works. I like to have extended families living together, but it's such a pain having to create the bride's and groom's families separately, move them in together, have the wedding, have the children, etc. It would be so much simpler if I could just create separate sims with different surnames and different family relations in one big group, like in Uni. I don't know why EAxis never implemented this. It seems like it would've been simple to do.

No, in CAS if you have a child you HAVE to have an adult to be the parent, not an elder. Parent-Child relationships in CAS only go one step up or down the age groups.

The problem comes when you go to "set family relations" before you save the family and exit CAS. If there are any children (toddlers to teens) present, it prompts you to assign them a parent before you exit. You can, after you set this, change the adult parent to an elder, but that automatically breaks the ties you've set. The kid will be parentless again, and the dance starts over. Given that female sims can have babies until right before they age up and males can father spawn until the day they die, it'd be nice if they remembered that the game itself allows for elderly parents of toddlers and coded CAS accordingly.
Then again, it'd be *nice* if they did a lot of things that make sense... ::)

Taking one of my sims to my remodeled Crypt o' Night Club, I've just been forcefully reminded of 2 more items from my Wish List, and they're both dance-related. One, for a way to keep sims from getting stuck with that horrible, constipated Spockface after they Dance With someone. Two, something to smite that task-stompinating "cuckoo" gesture that every single person in the club is Shanghaied into doing every four fricking seconds when there's a spaz on the dance floor. There's *always* a spaz on the dance floor. Give the twirlyfingered ridicule a rest and talk to your damned date already.

My one wish would be to have the Community time hack available without EPs after OFB.
Sigh.
It's the best hack ever I found on this site along with no20Khandout.
