What is still missing for you?
With only three expansions out, there are a lot of features that are still sure to come. But what features still feel "missing" for you that you would have liked to see in the base game or by this poi...

I started this post one way and it turned into something else entirely. I managed to boil down what I really want out of TS4 into just one thing: more animations!
I would like TS4 to please have more romance animations and more animations between family members. These animations should be based on traits, the types of relationship, and the strength of the ties.
For example, I would love to see loving grandparents greet their grandchildren with broad smiles and a pinch to the cheeks. When the parents aren't around, they could slip the child a piece of candy (cash for teens!). If the grandparent is the grumpy or morose type, they could give the child a perfunctory greeting. Likewise, the child's response should also be individualized. A cheerful child could give a bouncy, ebullient response. A mischievous child could roll their eyes and push the hands away from their cheeks. A materialistic teen could stash the cash and rub their hands together in greedy joy.
There's just so much that can be done. As a community, we seem to be waiting for more and more objects to fill the gaps. But for me, before all of the objects comes the character and personality of the game, which TS4 is missing.
