Buying Outfits and Grocery Stores
I've been playing the Sims 2 and I really like that I can go to the grocery store and to a clothing store. I know we kinda have a clothing store with thrift-Tea but we can only choose certain cloth...

I loved shopping for groceries and new clothes in TS2 as well. With TS4, shopping for clothes is not really needed as they have access to the entire catalogue, and whatever outfits you can buy from Get to Work style shops need to be created in advance and the ThrifTee clothes aren't the best styles. You can buy groceries from the food stands in Henford, San Myshuno, and Brindleton Bay.
I never understood shopping for clothes in the Sims 4 because of that. "I picked out all the outfits I want my Sim to wear. I can even give them multiple. why would I send them shopping?" I really never understood in-game shopping for pretty much anything one can easily get in CAS or Build/Buy. The only thing my Sims ever go out to buy via gameplay are vet treats because I don't have a Sim in every household learn how to craft every single one of the things.
So, if they ever do bring grocery stores, they should probably edit the fridges so they are not always stocked as long as you have the funds. Clothing stores should have some sort of "necessary" function as well. Clothing shopping for when you Sims age up sounds like a good idea. They are always given random clothes when they age up, so you pretty much always go into CAS to give them a whole new wardrobe. Change it so your Sims have to actually go clothing shopping for their children. Make it possible for your Sim to take another Sim out clothing shopping so you can give your poor generated townie friend a brand new wardrobe... or at least a new everyday outfit. Not all Sims are made of simoleons.
