BRING IT BACK...!!

There are family trees in TS4.

100% Voted for cars.
Me. :D

Horses (Sims 3), Rollercoaster (Sims 1, Sims 3 store), family album (Sims 1 and 2, NOT the sims 3 memory scrapbook version), volleyballnet (Sims 1), waterslide and custom apartments with proper community spaces (Sims 2).

Burglars would be okay if they were only allowed to steal money and/or things that can be re-bought through the catalogue (no collectables, photographs, custom paintings - the point of the burglar must be to punish the sim, not the player) and if the game sent actually played officers to apprehend them. But we all know it'll just generate the 100th unneeded new sim for this role.
Cars I can take or leave depending on how they are done, but enforced travel for purchases and store opening times please stay as far as possible away from my game.

I miss the ones from Sims2. There the police almost always caught the burglar and if your Sim caught them in the act of a burglary, your Sim could beat the tar and feathers out of them. Not so much in Sims3 (the beginning of the downfall).

Crafting hobbies: sewing, pottery, glassblowing, sculping
Outdoor activities: Zen garden, log rolling, axe throwing, archery
Farming items: butter churn, canning station, chicken coop, cow corral, grandpa tractor
Sports items: football goal, volleyball net
Ballet barre

Spiral staircase
Natural pond

Swimming pool cleaning

What's wrong with the family trees?

ones that actually work.

also couple interactions and on the very top couple dancing is the big need

cant believe we this far in game and my sims still can't couple dance T_T

And from those options,
"Traveling to buy items (grocery, book store, clothing boutique)" as second.

It's not really an object or activity, but body hair. I mean...lawd.

@Gingasnap27 as a veteran from TS2 there's a lot of content abscent in TS4, specially from Seasons to Freetime
