Objects I miss
caterpillar:
I also miss dating, chemistry and the romance interactions of TS2. Now courtship just involves cornering a Sim and spamming a sequence of romance socials until you work them into the right mood. It actually reminds me of romance in Fable 2. That's fine for an rpg type game where romance and family are an optional distraction from the main point of the game, but in a life simulation, romance and family should be something fun to do, not some dreary chore. I can't even bother playing flirty, commitment issue types in this game, I only romance for the sake of getting a breeding partner. In TS2 it was fun to play a multiple partner Romance type, now it's just boring.

I also miss elevators.

I find it interesting that so many people have mentioned that one can get any sim to fall in love with any other in the Sims3 and miss the chemistry system of the Sims2. It was just as easy if not more so to make any sim fall in love with any other in the Sims2 even if they had bad chemistry. Now it may have taken a little longer, but it was certainly easy. Now with that said, I do miss the fact that in the Sims2, sims could scope the room and would make their preference known by swooning or retching over various other sims. I really hope they bring back some sort of system where we can more easily tell whom our sims are attracted too. At this point I am going by the wishes that pop up. If a sim wants to kiss a certain sim for the first time (or have any romantic wishes related to a certain sim), then I take that as attraction.
As for objects I personally miss and hope they bring into the Sims3 at some point...
Basketball nets. These were something I wanted in the Sims2 for the longest time and we finally got them in the second to last EP. At least we got some playground equipment this time around in the base game. Parks are my favorite thing to build in the Sims and without basketball nets and playground equipment they always seem lacking to me.
Vending machines. Again something that goes so well in parks and playgrounds. In fact vending machines go well in most any community lot. I wanted these so bad for the Sims2 for so long and FINALLY got them in the last EP. Then I used them like mad. I hope I don't have to wait that long again.
Baby playthings. These didn't even get put into any EPs at all, but the Store! And not until a few weeks before Sims3 came out. Still it was enough time for me to love them and want them back. Though I don't think we will be getting any baby swings in the Sims3 seeing as how their bottom halves don't move now. Again something I had to wait forever for in the Sims2. I would be happy with a bassinet or stroller instead though if it means we can use it to take babies and toddlers to the park and beach.
An interactive ocean and beach. Again something I waited to be included in the Sims2 forever and was so happy when we finally got it. Interactive beaches were one of the only things in BV that I really loved, but it made the whole EP worth it to me. And now I miss them three times as much seeing as how there are a couple of beautiful beaches in the Sims3 just begging to be made usable since as they are there is nothing special to do at them except fish. I mean why have a beach party when it is no different from a party at the park except for the location?
The massage table. This I sadly have doubts of being included since sims can now get massages at the rabbit hole spa. Which I don't like because I enjoy watching my sims get pampered. If I am too busy and poor for massages in real life, then I want to live vicariously through my sims.
Which brings me too...non-rabbit hole community lots. I don't know if this will ever be any different in any EP, but I really hope it is. The reason I am not sure if some of these rabbit holes will open up is that most all of them are work places too. The only way I can see it happening is if one of the EPs is something of an OFB remake except that maybe instead of just having sims run their own businesses it also makes it possible for sims to work at other sims' businesses and make these venues open to the public to enjoy at the same time. I really don't know if this will happen though.
Last but not least, let me join with the many voices decrying the lack of shelves in the game. This one is such a no brainer I really, REALLY don't understand how it was left out. I'd love to do some more collecting in the game (I actually find it enjoyable and in character for some sims such as scientists), but the fact that there is no really good way to display an ample collection of anything in the game keeps me from it. A room full of tables is the best option we have at this point and while it works it is hardly the way most real treasures and collections are displayed. At least give us some glass to put over those gems to protect them!

The Running with Scissors Playset. I loved how random it was, and used to use it to cull my population.
Emma:
I wish you could do stuff at the beach like you could in BV, such as seashell hunting, swimming in the sea and building sandcastles. I was slightly disappointed that all you could do at the beach was fish. They can't even sunbathe!
