Also rabbitholes simplify things quite a bit. You can't forget to put a cash register in the store if you don't have the option to build the inside of the store yourself. Granted, it would be nice to be able to, say, have a rabbithole object that you can place inside of a building you build yourself and there you go, custom rabbithole.
Plus now you don't have extraneous amounts of NPC bartenders, servers, chef, cashiers, etc. running around your hood.
Instead you've got all these weird NPCs that I have no idea what function they serve.. like lab technicians and magicians?
Actually, there's no need for NPC bartenders, servers, chefs, cashiers because now everyone's busy reading outside. I swear, at times, I feel like the whole neighbourhood has been taken over by a sect of family friendly knowledge sims.

I can understand the lab technicians (somewhat). There must be someone to deliver babies and screw up resurrections, after all. The Magician is confounding, though. S/he's not even available for birthday parties! A lot of the service sims are missing traits, as well.

That shit pisses me off. One of my sims was getting fairly rich and he rolled up a want to buy a tv costing at least X amount of dollars. So I bought him said TV and what did he do? He sat down in front of the TV, whipped out a book, and started reading. Why in Hell are books so damn appealing to every single sim, regardless of their traits? Bookworms I can see preferring to read over watching TV or whatever, and maybe Athletic sims, but everybody? Even Couch Potatoes and Computer Whizzes? Ridiculous.
Yeah, I have a Computer Whiz (my simself actually) who has a laptop in his inventory at all times. He still seems to prefer whipping out a book and reading.

My idea of an expansion pack that would make the game uendly for all ages:
What about the concept of "Buyable Portal"?
Very simple - Objects needed : the plumb-bob that is the symbol for TS made like a buyable crystal in different colors where each EP would include one; a special personal inventory named EP inventory or something more creative, user commanded where you should place the plumb-bobs that you want your Sim to use. You don't have an EP, you don't have the respective Plumb-bob; You have an EP, your Sim can only have moodlets, wishes or anything related to this EP if you put the Plumb-bob in his/her inventory.
Example: it is created a Horror EP, full with vampires, werewolves and a lot of terrible interactions. you have bought this EP but want only that your Dark sided Sim would have access to it, so you place the Plumb-bob in the personal EP inventory for only this Sim in particular.
The portal: each plumb-bob would open a different world available to the Sim that have it in its inventory. Clickable by the user at anytime it would open the way to lead your Sim to adventures related to this portal - a travel to the dark, or to the heaven, or to unendless space.
Each portal would give the Sim the option to bring 8 Sims with him on the trip to the adventure. Those Sims have to have a strong bind to the leading Sim: the best friend, the lover, beloved family members or ... the worst enemy - no weak bindings.
Consequences: babies made on such adventures cannot be brought back home - to avoid mixing uncompatible worlds. They will be given for care to a local family on those hidden worlds and Sim could only contact them again by visiting them where they belong to. And will make a dynamic world caused by the user.
Visits: each visit would be hosted in any kind of Hotel or to a chosen Host Family that would be at the time of the visit, non-playable. During the time you are on visit you have to follow the rules and mood of the Hostess, that will behave at its own - and this is a challenge. You control your visitors but cannot control the household you are in.
When not being visited those hostess families can be chosen and playable as any normal one.
Anything else is still cooking in my mind.

Throwing away Sims for a while to focus on others would be fine... if you didn't have to edit town, change houses and go back in to play them.
Get AWESOMEMOD. I rather enjoy being able to play the entire town at once from Supreme Commander.
