Something I didn't see mentioned but I find really annoying is the inability to place columns anywhere within the 1x1 square. Even using the Alt key won't allow you to use free-form placement. Sometimes I want my column to sit in the middle of the square.
I agree with all the other things we need especially foundations and pond makers. I've had to compromise on so many builds and scrap a lot that no amount of compromise could get them looking like I wanted. Soooo frustrating!
If they ever bring back terrain contouring I hope it's more like Sims 2 where the "one click" adjustment was much easier to achieve. Sims 3 frustrated me no end as I could never get a "gentle" enough touch. I always ended up having to use the stair method to go down.
