Please add these minor things already.

I'm talking especially about things that are so normal I'm actually wondering why they haven't been added yet. I especially want swings for playgrounds - I mean, why add these gigantic jungle gyms (like the pirate ship), but leaving out swings at the same time? Swings have to be on every playground in my opinion and I just don't understand why they're not here yet.

Another object I finally want to be added again are toilet stalls. Look at the toilets on community lots and ask yourself if any venues in real life have exactly these toilets in their restrooms. The worst is that some of the EA lots have not only completely normal toilets like in private homes, but also with a glass door which is just...eh. Seriously, who would do this? The same with showers, a type of shower like there are in public swimming pools would be neat, too. It would just give the game a more realistic touch.

I'm pretty sure these things can be added, and the only reason why they haven't been is most likely laziness on the developers' side.

    It might be something that varies around the world. Most venues in real life have toilets with walls where I live, it's been ages since I last saw a toilet stall, they are mainly something found in motorway service areas and in campsites.

    This is how the restrooms in the premade nightclub in Willow Creek look like. I've never seen this before in real life. Two large rooms with the toilet and the sink in each, they're not even seperated from each other. It just looks weird.
    There's a lot of public toilets like that in Australia... though, the tend to be disabled toilets.

    HA! Yeah, toilets do vary a lot.
    Perhaps they should add these:

  • If they add Swings, then they shouldn’t forget to add porch swings as well.

    Its sad how many basic items we are missing for public bathrooms be it stalls urinals or just a shower head that could be used in public. I cant believe we are this far in and still don't have things like a normal sized telescope swings or a pool table.
  • Wall shower heads are a big one for me, and I so agree on the need for bathroom cubicles as well. The bathrooms on my commercial lots always feel odd to me.
    I don't care so much about swings, but I do want to see spiral stairs, pool tables and bunk beds! A university pack is the perfect place for ALL of these to show up!

    I was going to make a thread about this myself, but you beat me to it.

    We definitely need more of those normal everyday things! The lack of toilet stalls is the most annoying for me, it's the number one thing that comes to my mind when someone says "public lot". Hiding normal toilets behind walls is just so unnecessarily complicated and doesn't even always work. And while we're at it: Urinals, anyone?

    (I think EA don't care that much about bathrooms in general, because out of all the premade rooms, their bathrooms are always the ugliest and weirdest. Not that I use much of the premade stuff anyway, it's just something I've noticed.)

    I'd also love smaller variants of oversized objects, like the telescope and the microscope for example, but the piano as well. Not every aspiring pianist has space for a huge concert grand, and a synthesiser just isn't the same. I'm currently using a small CC piano that looks like the one from TS2 to compensate for this oversight.

    And last but not least, could we please have a way of organising the inventory, and giving items to other sims? One of my families wanted to explore the jungle, so I had a skilled herbalist from another family brew an insect-repelling potion for them, just to discover I had no way of giving it to them without combining their households and dragging it from one inventory to another. I now have a mod for that, too, but it isn't perfect because you can only give certain things to certain people, so... an official solution would be appreciated.

    Hmm, I don't spend much time in public restrooms so I don't want to assume anything, but I mostly see toilet stalls where I live. But this is still no reason to not implement them, because the placing-toilets-behind-walls thing takes, like @GrumpyGlowfish already said, just too much time, especially when you're not really fond of building like me. :D Atleast the option would be great.
