Objects I miss
chaos:
The things I miss the most aren't objects, but part of the gameplay. I really miss the turn-ons and turn-offs. Romance and dating are so hit-and-miss now, and seem a bit pointless, in many ways. I understand that shared traits have something to do with how well sims get along together, but the traits don't really seem to have much of an impact. Even sims with no shared traits can easily become friends and fall in love, because it has only to do with lots of clicking on the user's part. Relationships of any sort are very mechanical now, and take far too much effort on my part. I mostly just cheat my sims into friendships, because I don't feel like clicking 50 times to get my sim to befriend somebody. Stupid EA.
As sappy as it is, I miss memories, too. What's the point of having your first woohoo, or any of your children, if you don't remember any of it?
As far as objects go, the texture customization *somewhat* makes up for the small number of actual objects, but I also think it's really stupid that the cheapest shower gives bad "cold shower" moodlets, and that the only showertub in the game is hella expensive. Also, what's up with the ridiculously expensive "hot beverages maker" that doesn't even boost energy? Give me my cheap coffee maker, and a reason to use it!

In which universe? If you find your showers going cold in the middle of them, buy a better water heater. Replacing the shower, itself, will do nothing.

Definitely, memories and turn-ons and turn-offs were the first thing I noticed gone. It's really depressing that when a sim dies the family has completely forgotten about them two days later, and it's easy to make a sim date ANYONE as long as you get the interactions in the right order. Definitely a step backwards.

I agree! I would like someone to hack that "hot beverage maker" to have more energy. It is so costly, you would think it was worth a good kick.

I'll reiterate the want for memories and turn ons/offs. I also kinda miss the buildable cars - my wrench wielding Handy sim just isn't a -proper- mechanic until she has a few wrecks on her front lawn waiting to be fixed. Hell, I just wish there were more of the skill/hobby items - I miss the flower arranging and the robot building and the different instruments and all the sports equipment like the football net.
And I kinda miss TS2 style social interaction sometimes. Why can't my sims go from asking how each other's day was to back-pain-alleviating massages without spamming flirts first?
