I've tried to go through this entire thread, so pardon me please if this repeats something someone else has already said.
The following are Maxis design issues, not bugs per se:
Or how about being able to ask your wife out on a date. lol, OK, it's not so funny but the interactions at the end of the date are a bit odd as your wife will treat you like your were someone else, compliment you on the date and then go out the back door to place flowers on her own doorstep. :P
The biggest aesthetic annoyance for me is that I cannot park in the street. I have to delete a large chunk of my home (only on the left side) to place a driveway. I can understand how this might affect the school bus or the car pool, but it makes me a little batty. ;)
Speaking of cars, it's comical when you have two in the driveway, send one to work in his/her car then park the other in the driveway (thus blocking the garage). When the sim comes home from work, they will magically appear in the garage instead of sitting in the street honking and screaming obscenities at the sim who is parked in the driveway.
Another thing that irks me is the fact that sims need to drive to get next door or across the street. Wouldn't it make more sense to "Walk Next Door" and while you're at the lot, "Walk back home"? I mean, sims walk by my home all day long.

Oh yes! Those taxi drivers are real rip-off merchants. My sim wanted to go to the shop *immediately across the road from her house*. She had to call a Taxi, and it drove off right up the street presumably taking her the long way round just so it could charge more. Seriously though I don't see why if you're going somewhere nearby you shouldn't be able to just send the Sims to the pedestrian portal and have them spawned at the portal of the place they are going.

If I go on a date with my husband, we talk about it when we come home. If I had a good time, I say so. We also (gasp) still give each other nice gifts, like flowers. He's even surprised me with flowers when there was no date or special occasion. Granted I see how a sim might place the flowers on a table inside if they life there, but I get my flowers by delivery guy, just like my man man didn't live here and just like I would have if we were dating.

I thought it was pretty funny to have them drive across the street. Have you seen Toy Story 2?

My theory is that it's because all other less-awesome sites tend to be filled with screaming bene-beggars and it's impossible to get anything done. Also, it's pretty obvious why Maxis never gets anything done: Their employees spend 4 hours a day loitering on my site. No wonder nothing gets done. Maybe things would go faster if I banned him so he'd have to get back to work.
Oh no.. don't shoo the Maxoids!
That's not true, they never did something like this, spending time in the forums, really communicating with us!! Actually is quite the opposite: they was always on work, so they didn't have time to speak to us.
I think something really great will come out of this new approach thei are doing
