Someone else probably pointed this out earlier, but it is ridiculous that your Sim can have only one roommate! Surely there are posh urban apartments out there shared by three and four people? Also, I haven't had Pets installed for a long time, but I am certain it was possible to have more than one pet, so why not more than one roommate?
It is most definitely still possible to have more than one pet. It's been a long time since I haven't been playing with LotFullofSims, but I believe the limit is six pets, or a hard 10 pets&sims total. I had two pets in an apartment on the hackless test account.
As for posh urban apartments shared by three or four people, most of my friends started out in places with two other roommates. Three roommates is rare because four-bedroom apartments are rare around here.

3. I have also never yet seen NPCs so in love with birdwatching and jumping rope. I am certain that, if I uninstalled FT, they would do nothing but jump rope all day long.
Hells bells yes. I just got done playing a lot by Plasticbox that I converted for AL. Each apartment has a large front porch that technically is community area. I had problems getting one sim to work because two neighbors were birdwatching on the porch. She (Manisha again) is also obsessed with jumping rope. She has fitness as her OTH and sucks at it.

Leftover Hamburgers, group meals - anyone else finding they simply vanish when a Sim is directed to get them out of the fridge?

I made a generalized Undiscovered Shiny for stomping on all this ridiculously annoying shit, but Fat Gwilly People haven't asked.

Hm, it's beginning to annoy me as well. I have a sim neighbor who comes home from work in her silly clown costume and jump ropes in her apartment for hours... and hours... and hours. Then all the other neighbors come out of their hellhole trailers and jump rope on my sim's porch all day long, blocking access for everyone. They also seem to be obsessed with butterflies.
I also lust for a hack to stop the everchanging sim portraits. It's lagging the game and is downright confusing if you have identical twins that swap each others portraits. :-[

I don't know whether I am gwilly, but I am certainly fat, and I am certainly asking. I'll go look around for it in a moment. This must be due to the afore-discussed tendency of EAxis to give new items and interactions increasingly higher advertising (or whatever it's called) with each new EP. In fact the exercise bike thing I mentioned earlier must be an example too -- didn't that come with FT? My Sims' roomies will not touch the weight machine, though I wonder if they would if I took away the exercise bike.

Yes, I had that for a while. Either it was due to tight pants which I loosened, or the critical fixes in the DC fixed it. Others had it too and presumably fixed it.
I really wish my Sims could have more than one roommate (we can has hack? pleez?), but another potential problem I forgot to mention before is that roomies will not share a double bed with my Sims. This is even though I have an old hack called ShareBed that allows Sims to sleep in the same bed regardless of relationship (and only sleep of course, none of the other stuff). Roomies can find single beds just fine, but if there is a double bed and my Sim is sleeping in it, they will sleep on the couch rather than in the same bed.
Oh yes, one other thing, I've also had the problem with NPCs crowding on the porch of my Sim's trailer home, and getting him to work only with difficulty. If it isn't jumping rope, it's an endless succession of High Five and Earthy Hug (which actually does differ subtly from the regular hug) and Fake Out. Though I guess if it weren't that, it would be Play Red Hands and Prank/Ventrilofart and Hang Out right in the way of everyone, and let's not forget the problems we once had with endless pillow fights.... ::)

ROFL!! A sockpuppet who has forgotten whose hand is up them - that's novel :D
Sounds like as good a description of me as I could hope for. ;)
