SUGGESTIONS

@kdunbar472, I would love a grooming salon for our cats and dogs! ❤️  But adding this to the game is problematic because you can't add something that big in a free patch because not everyone has the Cats & Dogs EP, and those people who don't have it would be upset that only people who have the Cats & Dogs EP could enjoy that.  But on the other hand, if they added that to a GP or SP, then again, people who have Cats & Dogs will be upset that it wasn't included in that EP in the first place and they would feel upset they have to buy another pack to get the full pets experience. ☹️

Also, you stated we have birds when you said , "Now that we have pets and birds...also..." -- except we don't have birds in the game that are pets! 🤨  So I don't know what you are referring to. 😳🤔

We do have some tropical fish, at least in the Island Living EP, and they can be placed in fish tanks. So, they did think of that for the game! 😉

I also don't think they would make another town like a city  (for the warehouse apartments) when they already have San Myshuno in the City Living EP.  If you like more of a industrial warehouse fell to you décor, check out the new Moschino SP which has some elements of this style, including some incredible windows that are perfect for lofts! :eahigh_file: Combined with the City Living décor, and you could make yourself a fantastic loft style place for your Sims!:eahigh_file:  I would use the empty town of Newcrest so you have plenty of room, but you could build them elsewhere.  I've even seen the Old Salt House in one of the San Myshuno neighborhoods remade with some of the Moschino items to make a wonderful loft ! 😎

Teens can work afterschool part-time already! You can't go with them to work, but they can work at a fast food place! 🤨

The "styler" from TS3 is really called Create A STyle (or CASt for short).  I loved that too!  That was the best thing from TS3.  However, the more colors and patterns you saved on it, the longer and longer it would take for you to open Build/Buy Mode or select a new outfit using the dressers.  It would slow my game down immensely due to all the pattern swatches I had saved (partly my fault, but this was the only base game feature that I like from TS3 that I thought was better than TS2, so I used it all the time!) 

As for the other pieces, I think the sit & spin and toddler swing  would have been better suited for the Toddlers SP!  I love tree houses, but I dont' know what kind of pack they would put that in since we already have a Kids Room SP. 🤔  Igloos would have been in the Season pack, but we got an extensive holiday system instead! 🙂

And while many people have requested the game be online, there was already a Sims Online game.🤨 It came out in 2002 but by 2008 it had ended. So this idea is nothing new.  I don't think it was that successful, so I don't' know if they would bring something like that back again.  The closest thing the Sims has had to that since the Sims Online went under, was in TS3 there was the Showtime EP where you could send your Sims on tour to preform in other players games.  But this didn't work very well. 😞

The Sims 4 is never going to be The Sims 3 (and vice versa).  Maybe some of these features will be in TS5, if there is going to be a TS5, but it won't likely have everything either.  They have to give each version of The Sims some unique personality! 😇  But it sounds to me like you really loved TS3.  You can always play that if you are really missing features from it.  🙂

Happy Simming! 🥳
