What is still missing for you?

I really enjoyed TS3 Supernatural, and I'd love to have something like that in TS4, but I think theres more basic things I'd want added first before supernatural stuff.
1. Toddlers -- I really want toddlers! I liked in TS2 how you had to teach your toddler how to walk and talk and you potty trained them. I literally don't have my sims have babies in TS4 because the jump from a baby to a child just really bothers me.
2. Seasons -- I loved having seasons. It's fun when the different expansion packs interact with each other, and a seasons expansion is one that can cross over with many, if not all, other expansions.
3. Careers -- I agree with so many other simmers in that I want more career options! Military, education/daycare, criminal branch, firefighter. I think a fashion industry would be cool (careers like model, designer, magazine/fashion editor, photographer, stylist) and also an entertainment industry (careers like actor, director, tv/movie writer, talk show host, singer, dancer {choreographer, back-up dancer, studio owner}, band frontman, gossip reporter, paparazzi)
4. Greater customization of sims (hair color/clothing color/tattoos) -- pretty self explanatory. I liked in TS3 being able pick base, root and highlight colors for hair. Also in TS3, creating custom clothing. More tattoo options would be cool.
5. Old expansion packs: University (loved everything in TS3 university), Island Paradise (again TS3 here was great), Pets
6. Little bits of mayhem -- Burglars were cool, I liked TS3 being able to steal things from houses (i can't remember if you could break into houses but thatd be fun), being able to 'break the law' would be cool besides just stealing things

But toddlers is my number 1.

Things that are missing for me are:
-Duet dancing(slow dancing, ballroom, tango, salsa, swing)
-Weather/seasons(activities to go with each season)
-Age sliders
_Supernaturals(witches, werewolves, vampires, fairies, elves, dwarves, etc)
-Pets(cats, dogs, horse, bunnies, snakes, turtles, etc)
-children/teen pranks
-Prom
-Graduation
-Pillow fights
-Sleepovers
-University
-Bowling
-Skating/rollerskate rinks
-Sprinklers
-Toddlers
-Burglers

I want my dins to live in a world that's not always sunny and has no wild life to be seen TS4 is not fully complete without having pets walk by your house have snow ball fights, random toddlers walking on the street.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but I honestly got upset when the skills I was working on as a child where completely flushed down the toilet when turning into a teen. There needs to be a way we can choose specifically where those skills can go. Almost reminiscent of the Sims 2 aspiration, "personality bars."

Here it goes. (I haven't got to experience City Living yet as I just got it today! ee). But in my list of things that I feel are missing, I want to add things that I feel need 'improved' in the sense that it's kind of missing. :x if that makes...sense.

Things that are Missing:

• Toddlers/Preteens. #SorryNotSorry. I'm a family player. (though I know preteens have never existed, seeing that survey made me want them.)
  
• More family play.
  
• I love interactive careers (very excited to try the new careers with City Living, but I think the ones we all know and love would be nice to have. (Medical, Law, ). Heck, some new ones would be nice too. Like Marine Biologist, Dentist, Art/Director (this.. probably already in there, I think. :x), etc.
  
• Hobbies / more activities
  
• I miss my supernaturals. :( (Witches, Vampires, Werewolves, Fairies) / Mermaids.
  
• Traits. Far too few; I see myself picking the same ones over and over again..... / Aspirations too. (They're slowly adding new ones. . but I also feel 3 is too few).
  
• Pets
  
• Building options/tools (terrain, etc)
  
• Fireman NPC, Burglar NPC, Newspaper delivery, etc.
  
• Pillow fights, tag, cops/robbers, hide n seek, water balloon fights, marco polo, pool activities, pool volleyball, etc.
  
• Interests
  
• Likes/dislikes
  
• Favorite things (color, food, activity/hobby, etc)
  
• I know I'm forgetting something...
  

Things I feel need to be worked on.

• Consequences. I want there to be more stuff to happen with my Sims. They do seem rather 'too happy', I know my sims can get sad, or mad, but.. just need some tweaks, you know x-x.
  
• I want the game to be harder, or .. there to be a choice at the beginning. or better yet. how about just an option?! or a cheat that makes the game harder. I don't like using cheats, but I'll use that one. like. I love the bills are higher, etc.. but I want the careers, etc to be harder. ALSO if they add the celebrity system... I don't want it to be easy to become a celebrity. I want my Sims to work for it. Make it just like real - life. Of course, not in 'real years', but... I don't want to accomplish it within sim hours, or week. etc
  
• just a couple examples.
  

For me, the "sims" feature is still lacking in Sims 4. :p

5. Slow dances: -_- EA, I want some solid slow dances. It gets annoying seeing my couples do club dances to slow music. Can we get some dance choices, please?
8. Vacation Worlds: I don't even play with the camping world anymore because I'm already bored with it.
10. Weather: Some disastrous weather would be nice when seasons come back. (I'm sure weather is coming, so I'm being patient)
11. Animals: I miss having pets. I miss seeing random animals in the world (Also if you bring back mythical creatures, I think they should have their own mythical world to be in. )
13. More activities: Skating, bowling, trampolines, computer (lan) parties, laser tag, martial arts, pool activities (I want to see my sims play Marco Polo, or dunk other sims in the water, or learn new swimming techniques), water gun fights in the summer, soccer, and so on.

I concur. I would love more group interactions that increase the relationships of my sims. As it is now, I can create a group of sims and take them all dancing which increases their relationship to one another as well as any sim in the party haus club.
I want my sims to be able to talk to one another while fishing together.
Essentially I want Sims 2 with the graphics and emotional immersion of Sims 4. PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

I would like more building options and more lots to build on. It would also be nice if the world was more interactive...To be able to swim in lakes, to chase and feed the pigeons in the park, even simple things like feeding and cleaning our fishtanks. It's the little things that are missing.

I agree!!

As Moderocker said, what the sims do as children is kind of pointless. Even school - why do we get the kids to A-grade? It would be cool/interesting if the grades somehow mattered, or lead to certain careers - Scientist or Doctor careers, for example, would only be open for A-grades, or after the sims have reached the a certain level in another career...

Transportation for one, that should definitely be in a update. we need usable cars,bikes, motorbikes,boats,trains even airplanes, my sims are not magicians or Houdini, they don't need to disappear when they travel, get in a vehicle or kids can ride they're bikes. Depending on what transportation you use either walking or using a vehicle can depend on how fast you get there deciding whether you are late or not. Also alarms for base game instead of you sims being late and complication in getting them to go to work.
