Objects I miss
Lonesome Dove:
I miss seasons the most. Rainstorms and snowstorms were such a great break from the always sunny, summertime Sims world. I hope they're just planning to do what they did with Sims 2 and introduce seasons in an EP down the road. Sooner rather than later, please. I also miss the greenhouse walls, doors and roofs. They had great build uses other than just greenhouses. You could do some really creative stuff with them.
I second (or third, or fourth) the demand for a cheap coffemaker. What kind of household doesn't have a $10 coffemaker? Who drinks lattes at 6:30 a.m., let alone banana chocolate frappes or whatever the hell they are?
Half walls, stages and standalone staircases are other wants. And of course, hot tubs.
I see they incorporated the usable diagonal slots on corner counters and multiple slots on surfaces. Once more EA copies the community's brightest ideas and never acknowledges the source.
LFox:
The things i miss most are seasons and the hot tubs. I always loved seeing it raining or snowing added some nice realism to the game that was sorely needed. As for the hot tubs they were a great way to socialize. Cram 4 people into one and let them bake for a couple hours.
Ezura:
I miss cribs that actually makes Babies/Toddlers sleep when you put them in, instead of Sims leaving them there for 8+ hours when they are awake and could do things like play.
Why EAxis thought that baby/toddlers only could fall asleep at near fainting when other Sims falls asleep anytime puzzles me.
I really miss group-activity objects like Hot Tubs, Dart Boards, Bubble-Blower, Poker Table, "Bingo Box" (don't remember it's name), bowling alley e.t.c where Sims would talk to each other while doing stuff.
There are so few group activities in Sims 3, I had a party at the beach for one of my Sims for a job opportunity and realized there wasn't much to do at it, you just talk, talk, talk, talk...
Guest: I had a blast!
Me: I'm bored!
I miss the volleyball net from Sims 1, it would have been a blast at the beach party, but the only thing you could do there was talk or make drinks.
I like for my Sims to do some group activities together even if it means they won't skill up - like the Doll House.
Block Table gives some mechanical skills for children, but I still use it afterward because it looks like they have fun playing and socialize with other kids playing too.
But adults just do boring things like dance badly together, watch TV, play video games and watch people play guitar.
Staying friends with other people is just click+click+click+click+click+click+click+click+click+click+click... the game constantly lets me know I'm not friends with people anymore.
I've stopped caring about getting friends, visiting other Sims are equally boring (they don't have any fun objects to use), so the only friends my Sims have are through work where they get friends automatically.
I want Sims to be able to have fun without me having to decide everything, that's why group activity objects were so great for gaining friends in Sims 1+2.
I guess rabbit holes will fix that in expansionpacks, where they add a nightclub and you can choose "Play poker" and you pretend your Sim is playing...
They also destroyed weddings.
Even in base game Sims 2 there were arch, the wedding cake, the champagne bottle...
I usually hate Sims parties with a passion, but weddings always felt special in Sims 2, so I would throw a party anyway.
Here they just exchange rings and - voila - don't blink because you might miss that you had the most important day of your life.
There's no difference between private and public weddings, if guests would bring me wedding gifts, then I might consider having public weddings again!
infamy:
Two-story columns.
Edit: and scary ghosts!
ZeKat:
The piano, violin would be nice too. Something that children can use.
Shelves! Half-walls. And the stage.
A big aquarium dammit! I refuse to keep 13 fishbowls in my house. I want one big one with room for 10-15 types of fish. Then you'd look more like a fish enthusiast and less like some crazy fish hoarder.
I also want the activity table to have an option to draw. Seriously, the paper is there! Gief painting skill.
