What CAN be done to fix TS4?
LAST UPDATE: August 15, 2015 So here's my question to you all: what changes CAN be made to make TS4 a game you would like to play? (Try to keep your answers restricted to what you t...

I'm going to have to disagree with you on wanting:
TS2 sims in a TS3 world with the improvments TS4 has made like CAS.
I can't stand the look of TS2 sims and would prefer the more realist look of TS3 sims with the better lighting of TS4 sims in an open world with CASt and story progression from TS3 and new build tools and CAS from TS4.
In answer to your question, these are the changes that I think can be made to make the game more playable for me:
1. A re-colouring/re-texturing tool like Create a Style. I don't care if it's an external tool, but I wouldn't want to have to use another program like Photoshop or Gimp with it to re-colour the objects.
2. A way to assign skills in CAS. It never made sense to me that adults have no skills. They should at least have what a teenage who graduated from high school would have. I understand that some players feel that skilling is challenging and fun, however, I find that doing the same thing over and over again is not challenging, but boring. If I want to repeat the same thing over and over, I'd go find an assembly line job. :D
3. A way to sort my sims' personal inventory into categories and sub-categories alphabetically so I can find things faster. For example:
Flowers:
- Bluebell
- Snapdragon
- Tulip
Fruits:
- Apple
- Cherry
- Grape
Herbs:
- Basil
- Parsley
- Sage
Vegetables:
- Carrot
- Onion
- Potato
4. An easier way to sell items from my sims' personal inventory. For example, suppose my sims has various fruits and vegetables in her personal inventory among other things, and I want to sell everything except for 10 of each of the perfect fruits and vegetable. Right now, I have to drag each item to sell them. I would like an easier way to select which items and how many of each quality to sell.
5. Matching furniture sets. It really bugged me that sets were broken up and sold in different EPs and the store or left unfinished in TS3. I understand that EA wants us to spend as much as possible and I don't have a problem with that, but it is really frustrating trying to find the matching items when decorating. And by matching sets I don't mean theme, but the different parts of the objects.
6. Story progression. I'm not a control freak so I have no desire to control others in real life or in the game. I want to see how others progress on their own. (Yeah, I know sims can only do what EA programmed them to do.)
7. I agree that skills should branch off and once your sims learn the lower levels of a skill, she shouldn't have to start at the beginning again for the other branches in the same category.
