Objects I miss
Gus Smedstad:
A cheap shower tub. Instead we get we get 2 showers, 4 tubs, and one really expensive showertub. How many tubs have you encountered in real life that didn't have some dinky showerhead and cheap curtain? EAxis's priorities are screwed as usual, since showers are more functional than tubs in the game. Yes, tubs can eliminate the Stressed moodlet and can give +10 mood from the Ducky, but usually the time required isn't worth it.Recessed lights. Or a basic ceiling dome light. None of the ceiling lights are appropriate for most rooms, instead they all hang down fairly significantly. Purely aesthetic, of course, but annoying.The piano. Seriously, who plays guitar in an orchestra?The changing table. I don't like how trivial diaper changing is now. It's so fast and trouble free you might as well change the larva's diaper every time you pick it up. It also means we have even less reason to buy tubs, since they're no longer required for scrubbing larvae.

I miss actual BABIES! I had pics of all my sims giving their babies their first bath. It was really cute. I know that Pescado is going to stomp me for saying this, but I liked it.
And it's not an object, but I miss sit down/family meals. Everything else they do SO SLOW, but eating they snarf in moments before their family can even make it to the table to sit down and eat.
sewinglady:
don't know what I'm doing wrong, but most of my sims are spending a lot of time in the kitchen so the eating meals together thing isn't that hard (and don't we all spend lots of time in our kitchens).
a hearty hear-hear for the lack of cheap shower/tub combo.
I want a toaster, er a toaster oven - but well something else for them to cook those fricken' waffles in besides the oven.
And I, too, really miss the piano. But, I also remember that the code for the piano was something that was broken every time a new EP was released... maybe they gave up?
Gus Smedstad:
I suppose we should be grateful that the guitar isn't the flypaper that the older musical instruments were. I stopped buying most of them in TS2 because guests would beeline for them and then play until they got too tired, hungry, or had to pee, and leave.

I have to say I agree. Part of the problem is that the Sims no longer actually SERVE the meal by setting out a plate for everyone in the house. They have to serve themselves. The fact that the sims actually EAT instead of blabbing to each other is an improvement, since (without pescado's mod) group meals took FOREVER in Sims 2.
However, they could have done something cool with this -- perhaps have an OPTION for family meals, where everyone will wait for the family to sit before they start eating. To make it appealing, they could give you a moodlet, particularly for family-oriented sims. This actually makes sense.
