Objects I miss
bloodredtoe:
It's all hugely marketing. I remember talking to a guy who designed and animated 3D figures. He said it's would be quite easy to create a system allowing each player to create custom hairstyles in the sims. EA won't ever introduce that, though, since if they did, they wouldn't be able to mooch money from hairstyles in sim store.

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.
Yeah, but they also like to use it all the time, also at 3AM in a room where everyone is sleeping:(
I agree with all people who mentioned there should be more musical instruments and the skill hold name "music" or something of that kind.

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.
I kinda took it for granted that I'd be able to shape the city to my will, like I could in SimCity games. But poop. I can't even place lots where I like. We're back to the sims 1.

I also really miss NL-style chemistry and dating. Right now it feels like there's no reason to have a Sim choose any other Sim in particular for a match-up, other than "My biological clock is ticking, I need a mate NOW, and you're standing in front of me." Sims are not turned on or turned off by other personality traits, they don't care about hair color; I haven't played a Snob Sim or one with a LTW related to money, but I somewhat doubt those Sims will really care much about the financial status of romantic possibilities, either. Love is simply a vending machine in TS3.
Oh yeah. I'd also love to see sims completely love-dazzed and ready to completely change their appearance, just so they seem attractive to the chosen one. Oh, and I wish I could play match-maker - you know, make some neighbors meet and try to get them hooked together:D It could've been hilarious.

I know it's not an object, but I miss LOTFULLOFSIMS the most right now. 6 screaming larvae isn't enough for me! I can fit in at least 22 more before the first one toddlers up! Someone make this possible, please!
I've been searching for that. You can't even marry off a sim with household full and if you move them out, they will never marry their partner or produce a child the natural way. I know I could handle 12 buggers under one roof.
I'm actually surprised there aren't any shelves, I just end up holding all collectibles in inventories or selling them off, because the aligning on drawers/tables is somehow borked.
The next in line I miss are hot tub and wedding arch. Big aquarium for fishies and something like that for bugs, too (or alternatively nailing them to a board on a wall >:})
I also kinda hope some forgotten items from sims1 will be recycled someday, eg. the lab or the cool brick oven in which you could make bread... (I hope for an EP as good as MM for sims 3, witches in AL really sucked).
I'm wondering when EA finally decides to add bunk beds. It'd unbelievable there aren't any so far:(
From interactions - they're rather good, though could be better - eg. it's kinda dull you can't interact with neighbors' kids they're carrying around. Or I got a situation in which my sim was visiting her neighbor, they were watching TV and the set broke down. My sim had "good" trait and 9 in mechanics, so I made her fix it, the neighbors found it inappropriate. There should be an option "offer repair", because I believe it's what a good person knowing something about repairs would do in such situation.

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.
Same here...much more annoying to me: Fish stay perfectly fine 6 Month+ in a fridge but they die in a fishbowl if not fed within 24hrs.
Even though realism is not a goal in Sims since you can put saltwater and freshwater types together in one pond (hell even my pool has the fish option :D).
Reasonably well fed fish can easily survive a 2 week lent period.
So I would like to be able to set the feeding minima to about once a week or so and .
I still hope that bigger fish tanks will be popping up at the store eventually.

Edit: OK, one problem solved:I just found CyberOps No Dead Fish for 365 days which keeps the fish alive as long as you feed it once a year ;D ;D

I miss most of what people have mentioned as well. I really miss attraction/dating though. The romance bit seems a bit boring. Connected to that I miss ACR (which I know is TwoJeffs, not EA). I hate micromanaging my sims love lives. It does seem odd that you have to go through the whole dating rigamarole to kiss your spouse. Also, I'm the only one I'm sure, but I miss pets. I'm the one who actually liked that expansion.
Someone pointed out how annoying it is that sims can't play guitar til' they are teens. Why can't child sims garden? As a kid, weekend weeding was a normal part of my chores. I said I would use hacks and stuff for awhile, but I already have awesome mod, default skins textures, and default eye textures. Still, I am finding it just as addictive as I found first Sims 1, then Sims 2.
