Make more uses of coffee tables!
I somehow noticed that coffee tables have been acting as pure decorations throughout the series. They are almost useless except the function to put some cups or small items on it. Sims barely (or not ...

The main thing I've always used coffee tables for in these games is as a place to put a game console. I honestly wish we had other things to put on them, like doilies or coffee table books (big books that your sim can read, but when they're put away they go on the coffee table, not the shelf) or festive table cloths for holidays (every Christmas, when my mom decorates, she ALWAYS has some kind of festive covering for the coffee table...ALWAYS...). Though, I never got why they call them "coffee tables"...they're so low to the ground that putting any food or drink on them to enjoy while sitting on the couch just results in a lot of awkward stretching and bending...
On the subject of living room tables, though, when are we going to get T.V. trays? Our sims can sit in front of the T.V. and eat while they watch something, but they just sit there with their plate or bowl in their hands like they're eating fast food at the park. Let's give them some tray tables so they can eat like civilized anti-social beings!
They are suppose to be used to put coffee and other beverages on top and drink while watching TV. The point is to not have to get up from the couch to get a drink or a book. The best placement for them in TS is right in front of the couch. Sometimes it seems like there's no space for sims to pass through and sit, but there is. In TS4 though sims will always get up to pick something up that is in the coffee table and they rarely put it down where it was, I wish they didn't though. But I think that factors in the fact that the AI was not build very well, heck my sim uses the far away bathroom sink to wash the dishes instead of the kitchen one, even when he is in the kitchen.
