Objects I miss

Fish tanks instead of bowls. It would be cool if you put the wrong kinds of fish together they'd eat each other.
OMG THIS! I was just thinking that the other day. There is a ltw to have 13 perfect specimens of fish in bowls. Right. Because I want every available tile in my home to contain a coffee table with several fishbowls on it. I don't know if you have to have them all in separate bowls at once but it's the principle of the thing. Aquariums would add a whole new dimension to keeping fish. You'd have to separate the salt water from the fresh water ones and make sure you were putting the right species together etc.
Along with most people I think it's exceedingly lame that there is nothing you can do with metals and gems other than clutter your house or inventory with them. Opening up functionality with xpacks is one thing but putting an item in the game that's essentially useless just looks like laziness. Finish it or leave it out EA. >:(

I really hate the fish bowl, I feel bad putting anything other than a minnow in it. I wish that they'd give the sims the ability to look at their fish again and not just feed them, isn't that the whole point of pet fish?

I guess this is not so much a "miss" as a "why the fuck didn't they put that in to begin with", but a cheap freaking laptop would be nice. The ability to use items from inventory is really one of the best features about TS3, so why why why isn't there a cheap laptop option - like maybe equivalent to or slightly more expensive than the cheapest computer. It's doubly annoying given how badly hacking pays as a "career"; it's a fourth of their starter money if I want to have my Computer Whiz sims go hack in the park. A cheaper gaming console would be nice, too.
Whoever was talking about lack of social games was dead on. I really miss Myshuno, the dart board, the hand-held gaming system and especially the mp3 player from Uni - the "rocking out" animation was so great. Pretty much anything (especially anything cheap) that Sims could do together and build social/fun with is missing, except for chess. I suppose I can accept them not wanting to put in too many items from expacks, but there was so little in Uni anyway and they already gave us cellphone.

I just played a pregnancy/baby/toddler for the first time last night, and I have to agree with everyone else that the ultra-larval babies are weird, at best. Pregnancy seems to have gotten some interesting changes, but babies now creep me out, instead of just being a timesuck.
This is not a missed object, but someone above mentioned objects being too attractive, like guitars--another one is the garden sprinkler. Every time a Sim is idle now, s/he wants to go play with that stupid sprinkler. This would make sense for kids or those with the Childish trait, but a Neat Sim just traipsing off to get messy in the sprinkler? I don't think so.
And I really, really miss the ability to customize lot sizes. About half the lots in Sunset Valley are far bigger than I like to build on. I want compact, dense residential areas, not sprawling McMansions and suburban horrors.

Seconded. I really want to stomp the autonomous playing with the sprinkler. I had a scientist with a nice garden + well-stocked pond, and he used to fish whenever he was idle, but now that he got a sprinkler, he spends hours in it. Strangely, his kids seemed to prefer reading pregnancy books when idle. They weren't even bookworms. And pregnancy books for 6s? Colour me confused.
