Here's my latest set of feedback. The good news is, I think we have already uncovered the majority of bugs/glitches and have figured out most of our "want-to-haves" because my list is not nearly as long as it has been in the past. :p
Suggestions:
- Add hanging plants (really miss these from TS3)
- Let us select a color/style for the top edge of pools (or use the fountain style tool).
- When building with the flat shapes, it would be helpful if we could have a 1 tile square flat piece to select. I often find myself placing the existing 3x3 flat square and then downsizing it. On a small lot, finding the space to plop it down without connecting to other rooms or flats can be a challenge.
- Please add fencing that matches Galvanized Horizontal Railing and Horizontal Aluminum Railing Systems.
- If we are not going to be able to select our own Gallery pictures, please at least improve the Gallery camera. For instance, 30x20 lots get cut off in their Gallery shots, unless you build the structure back a good distance from the front of the lot or place a tree at the front of the lot. Here's a visual example of what I'm talking about:
Base Gallery Shot:

Gallery Shot After Placing Tree:

I have not found any other objects capable of causing the camera to pan back like this, so thank goodness for trees at least, but I don't think many people know about this trick and are often just stuck with images that cut off their lots.
Also, it would be so helpful if we could set the camera's zoom and at least select the angle too. Most of the Gallery shots are taken from more of a high angle like this:

And many builds would benefit greatly if the shot were taken from a lower angle like this:

Glitches
- The Prima computer does not show as additional content in Gallery lots, which makes it confusing for downloaders when they get the message that an object has been deleted (because they don't have the bonus item). It would be nice if that message would at least provide the name of the object that was deleted.
- The Falling Water Modern Fountain clips beneath flooring on 2nd floor:

- If you create a diagonal pool that intersects foundation, the part of the pool which intersects can't be painted and sticks out. this occurs when using a thinner foundation, like Firmament Foundation. Thicker foundations cover the glitch.

- Bars require too much space between them if you want to place them such that you can have one bar opposite the other; for some reason, they're extending slightly past the one tile collision box you'd expect:

You then have to move the opposite bar back a touch more which won't let it seamlessly connect with other counter pieces in the arrangement:
