Base Game improvement
Do you have suggestions for (base) game CAS, BB, Gameplay or Gallery? What are your ideas to improve the game in general? Do you have any other specific requests?

Landline phones and/or an option to turn cell phones off. It's obnoxious in my Decades challenge that's still in 1894 that sometimes even with all the settings I have, grandma will STILL play video games on her phone when she's not doing anything else. I also don't really like the children having cell phones in all my games. So the option to block options on a sim's cell phone or disable them completely would be cool.
SPIRAL STAIRCASES AND ELEVATORS.
More swatches for base game items. There's a criminally low amount of carpet and linoleum patterns/colors!
I'd like there to at least be an option for jobs to work like in sims 1 and sims 2 - where there were only SOME job openings each day, and some days level 1 of one career would be available but level 3 of it might be available a few days later. I was thinking maybe if at least it was like the limited option was on the cell phones but the regular all jobs option was on computers, that would be fair? It always added a fun challenge to the game if you wanted your sim to be in xyz career that you'd sometimes need to wait days to get it so you'd have to decide if you wanted your sim to take a different job earlier.
A million times agree with the game time overhaul. If you don't just cheat everyone's needs full at 7 am they don't seem to have enough time to DO anything especially with a bigger house. It took my sim 45 minutes just to leave the house the other day! Just walking from the backyard to the street!
I don't really care about cars, but I miss seeing them. It's such a bummer seeing sims just dematerialize when they leave for work/school. I miss the bus or carpool, and the increasingly cool vehicles for carpooling, and how you could trap the bus by sending someone to just stand in front of it so it would just honk for hours. And maybe with the schoolbus they could make it so kids from the area would also congregate so it'd be easier for child/teen sims to make friends with kids from the neighborhood.
I'd like more than 8 sims per household but that feels like an expansion pack thing to me. Still annoyed that cats/dogs/horses don't count separately from humans (so you could have 8 humans but then also have cats or whatever).
Since the calendar is in the base game, what about further custom options for it - like if I want one specific family to completely ignore Winterfest without removing it from that save's calendar, why can't I? We should be able to go into the calendar and customize "Susie Sim ignores this holiday". Unless we CAN do that and it's just one of many things I've never once heard anyone mention before, like the posture adjuster in CAS.
