Missed opportunities

The very worlds are a missed opportunity. B.Bay has fishing boats, so why can't a sim participate in an offshore fishing trip? Not to rain on the Maxis parade, but this is the only way to catch tuna, as they cannot be found in ponds, streams, or off a pier.
Strangerville has a motel, diner, and gas station along the main highway. These should not be abandoned as between highway travelers and the place being a military town there will be adequate business. TS4 still does not have functioning cars, but the station should still be active (if only in the San Myshuno sense). Sims should be able to get a meal at the diner and a room for the night at the motel. Both would be a great help for non-resident sims working on the local mystery.
Britechester has an abandoned castle. Why can't that be explored? All sorts of possibilities there, including archaeology.
Speaking of archaeology, Selvadoria has more potential sites than the ones we are given, such as: market area, seaport (shown on map), various levels of housing, farms, workshops. I could go on, but you get the idea. Too much set dressing, too little for sims to go to, see, and do.

Boats, like cars, ships, trains and trams are mostly aesthetics, they do not serve as transportation. Would be nice if they added some interactions on them, like the Brindleton Bay boat you can take to the island. Sims can go to the pier in Magnolia promenade, why not be able to go for a sightseeing tour on the steam boat? A coffee stand on that pier wouldn't be out of place either. There's a whole ship yard in Evergreen Harbor yet our sims can't board a ship or work as ship captains or crew. They should make the train station in Mt. Komorebi functional as a rabbit hole place at least and let sims work as train conductors, ticket inspectors, or something. So much wasted space in that area with nothing to do for our sims.
