My most wanted hack is one to give our NPC friends (enemies?) some sort of a rational desire to wear outerwear when appropriate. I don't know about you, but my mailman doesn't come trudging through knee-deep snow in a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of shorts.
NPCs are coded to be immune to temperature. They did not come equipped with cold-weather versions of their uniforms, and thus were not able to use outerwear.
Does the same apply to Townies? For purely aesthetic reasons I find it annoying that they never seem to appear on residential lots wearing any outerwear.

Another mod I've been wanting actually since the EP was announced is changing the sunrise/sunset times. Where I live, it's only light from about 9 am to 3 pm in winter, and in summer the sun doesn't set until 11 pm or so. So I find the darkness of the Sims summer quite depressing. It should be light much longer during summer than during winter.
I have no idea if it can be done or not, but I would love it anyway.
I would, too. For the opposite reasons!* J. M. Pescado hiss at sun!

I would really love something like this as well. That was one of the reasons, I was looking forward to seasons. In reality this is kind of the whole reason for there being seasons, isnīt it. So I really hate, that they left that out. And I would love longer summer days simply for gameplay enjoyment.
Longer days. PSSH! ETERNAL DARKNESS FTW!* J. M. Pescado hiss at sun!

And I second the request for gardening affecting the fitness level. Itīs too bad, that the fish dishes are so fattening to begin with. Isnīt fish supposed to be healthy and non-fattening?
I think you're probably overfeeding, that's why. Try noeatcrap?
Is variability in day length through the seasons something we can look forward to then? I hope so regardless of whether the motivation is long days or eternal darkness.
One request I haven't seen mentioned is the possibility of planning a sims wardrobe according to the season. It would be more realistic to see a sim wearing a t-shirt/shorts as everyday in th esummer and a sweater/jeans in the winter etc. Is this possible as a mod that would apply to all dressers, or even to one customised one?

I don't understand why sim kids can't get leftovers autonomously, instead of getting the message that "Sharla is just skin and bones! You'd better feed this kid before the Social Worker takes her away!"
I'd love to see that also - it annoys me to no end that here I have a fridge full of leftovers (most of which I took the time to put into the firdge as individual plates, not serving platters), and the kids, on the very rare occasions they do grab food autonomously from the fridge, they get cookies or chips, not leftovers. Okay granted with a lot of kids that actually is more realistic... I'd rather they grabbed leftovers! I can remember snacking on leftovers quite happily as a kid, after all (mmm, leftover chili or spagetti made into jaffles...)
I also think hungry adults should grab leftover food in preference to cooking new meals when they do autonomous hunger-fulfilling.

Leftovers are kinda nasty, you know. For one, they've gone all stale and cold. They no longer bleed properly. In my family, we eat our kills on the spot. If there's a lot of it, we eat until we go into a food coma. Then we don't eat at all for a day or two.
Nec:
I'd really like a cold shower option for hot days.
Also, not exactly Seasons related but, I'd like all dogs to be able to attack/chase/growl at burglars, unless they are cowardly dogs. What good are watchdogs if they don't do anything when an intruder shows up?
miramis:
Cowardly dogs will attack, growl and bark at intruders too. My Bandit is the cowardly dog out of our four, scared silly of kids, but if one comes near her they better watch out! A scared dog is more likely to bite I think. She turns into all hackles and growls and barks, and has actually snapped at my nephew for getting too close. Which is why I keep her away from any kids unless I can trust the kids to sit quietly until she gets used to them.
