Objects I miss
McCrea:
I miss the pool table (billiards).
I miss drums. Kids can play drums. Drums are in orchestras. Can no longer sim Jack and Meg. (We've got money and a little place to fight now). I'm shocked they killed off the other instruments, except that it's obviously a money making opportunity for EA, particullarly when they can just reuse the recorded bits from TS2. I had felt the instruments from TS2 were the most impressive part of the game. yep, Plenty of room for a 'Music' EP in TS3. $30 please.

Optional Cell phones! One thing that drives me crazy is when my sims out on the town and they keep getting harassed by callers.
Turn off ringer? I don't know if that stops the sound wave tho.

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 beg to differ. My sims flock to the guitars I buy, especially when their career or LTW has nothing to do with it. I'm constantly having to chase someone off the guitar so my musicians can skill for promotions. :P

It's not an object, but I miss the old romance animations. The TS3 "kiss" animation is essentially a tiny peck, and the "make out" animation is just a series of pecks that lasts for about 15 seconds. The TS2 animations were over the top but at least they conveyed emotion. And there were some really sweet animations like the slow dance, etc. Romance in the TS3 is so dry and boring. I used to love pairing sims up in TS2 but that's lost its appeal in TS3.
I also miss the cuteness of toddlers in TS2. The TS3 ones are dead eyed and creepy, and although it used to annoy the hell out of me when TS2 toddlers wandered everywhere I find it unsettling how TS3 toddlers can stay in one spot for hours and not go anywhere.
Also, not having a piano, or at least a violin, is stupid since classical musicians are highly unlikely to have gotten their start playing on a guitar. And the lack of any classical instruments is doubly stupid given that the game actually has a classical music career branch.

Stick the guitar in the sim's inventory then only that sim can use it, and they will be able to use it under free will. This is how you can avoid TS2-style flypaper-instruments.

Agreed, that is what I have to do as well.
