Objects I miss
Marq:
I completely agree! What were EAxis thinking when they choose the items they put in the game? It's not like it would've been hard to include the cheaper shower tub, lights, etc, etc. They recycled so many other things from TS2 why not more of the useful stuff for middle class sims?
I really wish there was:
A better selection of meshes for clothes/hair and a better selection for make-up. I know that EAsxis has never been good at making make-up but all they had to do this time was mock-up where the crap goes.Stages. Most of what I used TS2 for was building. Not having stages is killing me.Cheap looking pillars. Yea, sounds kinda weird but the cheapest pillar looks too nice, IMO. What if I want to make a run-down house?Optional Cell phones! One thing that drives me crazy is when my sims out on the town and they keep getting harassed by callers.Some kind of influence system. I used to have friend slaves to do all of my sims chores for them. Now their forced to do everything themselves unless the cleaner is living with them. (I do think it's kinda cool that you can ask sims that live with you to "take out the trash" or clean around the house.)Some place to do a public woohoo!Sims with wants of interacting with other sims. While I get wants to invite so-and-so over or kiss so-and-so I miss the wants you could get in TS2. I had a sim once wish to fall in love with someone when she first met him without checking him out first or anything. I miss the want to woohoo (I still haven't seen it).
Gus Smedstad:
Video games count for "play game." I use that fairly often because it satisfies the Wish immediately, you can fit at least 4 Sims into one game, and Sims will play from any nearby location, even if the chair doesn't quite face the TV. However, if they're going to put "play a game" Wishes in, more activities should qualify.
You're right that all the various collectibles demand a display system. Beyond tucking them on top of dressers, anyway.
I'm OK with much of the stuff they left out, since much of it showed up in expansions. It's the basic stuff that bothers me.
And you're very right about stairs, fences, and roofs - if everything else can be re-textured, why not those? The stairs in particular scream for it, since the existing color / texture selection isn't very good.
You might be able to get ratty-looking columns by fiddling with textures and colors. The game lost the "interior unfinished wall" texture I often used for garages, but I was able to make a good substitute by grabbing one of the paneling textures and replacing the fancy wallpaper with flat gray and the pillar color with a wood texture.

Maximillian:
I direly miss a low-end coffeepot. None of my sims are nearly pretentious to drink a 'Lite Foam Banana Latte' or what have you every morning.
Stages would be nice, as previously mentioned--I have seen some well done bathrooms/bedrooms using those.
I miss photo booths as well. Even a clothing booth would be nice--the utter lack of public woohoo is disappointing.

The piano. Seriously, who plays guitar in an orchestra?
Didn't base game TS2 give us piano, guitar, and bass? Or was the guitar and bass included in Uni? I can kind of understand why they gave us a guitar if they were only going to give us one instrument (portable, true busking). The music quality is fantastic. But yeah, I'd love to see the piano back, plus a violin, drum set, and sing-a-long boom box. Most buskers here in Chicago are singers, drummers, or on violin.
The Piano was base game. The drums, guitar and bass were from University and I think there was a violin in Freetime?
Captain Swooptie:
I know it sounds silly, but I miss the cheap doors. You know, the ones that were just flat and plain? I used those things all the time.
I also miss the cheap counters. Actually, I just miss a lot of the plain stuff. All those things would mesh nicely with Create-A-Style. I hope that when the bright minds get a hold on object creation that we'll see some straight conversions of some TS2 objects; at least the ones that don't have their own unique animations and such.
