I’m sure a lot of these have been mentioned, but I want to dump all the ideas/expectations I had for Likes/Dislikes in one place:
Hobbies
I’m disappointed the hobbies from Eco Living and Knifty Knitting weren’t included. An oversight, maybe? A but silly if it was, considering these are newer packs.
Reading. I know we have the Bookworm Trait, but by that logic why have Fitness as a Like/Dislike as well as the Active Trait?
Watching TV/Movies. Could be BG compatible or an add-on with the Movie Hangout Stuff Pack. And it could be the simple, broad like of watching TV/movies in general, or it could be its own subcategory (like music genre) where Sims pick if they like Horror, Romance, Comedy etc.
Stargazing or Astronomy/Alien-related likes. Probably not a huge priority, since there aren’t normal-sized telescopes in TS4. I just miss the way stargazing was in TS2.
Hiking or Swimming? Sports like soccer, basketball. Bike riding?
Kids could get special interests like Voidcritters, Playing on Playgrounds etc.
Other
Honestly, I don’t know where it could go, but Animal Lover or Loves Cats/Loves Dogs could be a Like/Dislike system instead of a whole trait.
Food
Again, something that could/should be BG compatible. This could replace the Vegetarian trait, but could also be expanded to Healthy food, Junk food, BBQ/Meat, Seafood etc.
If City Living is installed, it could include the different cultural recipes. If it’s too hard to do all 27 recipes, break it down into “Mexican food”, “Spicy Food”, “Indian food”, “Chinese Food” etc.
If Get Together is installed, it could include Cafe Food, Coffee, Tea (but coffee could also be BG compatible...)
Weather
Everyone has suggested this. Instead of Declare Weather preference (which clutters the already messy Pie Menu), weather preference should be here.
Attraction
Surely they could implement an attraction system now. If modders can do it, before and after this patch, it should be done by official devs.
Attraction could be simple things like hair colour, hobbies, body type.
Could also include Female and Male (since we can Like both to simulate bisexuality/pansexuality, or Dislike both to simulate Asexuality). Having said that, I’ve personally always wanted this added to the customise gender panel. If we can choose if a Sim can get pregnant or impregnate others, I want to choose if they are attracted to Female, Male, Both or Neither.
