Simple things we miss from previous The Sims games

Pool tables.

The make out on bed option and sims cuddling while they sleep. (These are part of only a small handful of screen shots I have saved from my TS3 days)

This is a small simple thing I don't often if ever see mentioned, but I miss so much the sewing machine from S2. I enjoyed having my stay-at-home moms make their kids clothes. The knitting pack is cool, I enjoy having my sim knit her kids and husband sweaters, but it doesn't go far enough. I'm sure this is so obscure most people have probably forgotten it existed, haha, but I do miss it.

I want this stuff that we had in prior iterations (some with more to it though):

Couple cuddles in bed, couples dancing. Watching tv while cuddling.
Daydreaming and reading in bed.
Bands. I hope there is a pack dedicated to it. I want it to be good and in depth.
A plastic surgery machine where facial features (and add in body sculpting) can be changed (without a cheat). We had that reward in Sims 2.. something like that that we can make an office with in world to use (or put it in my mad science labs).
More creepy feeling stuff.. I miss the sounds from sims one, bonehilda also. I know we can go and get the skeletons from JA but it's not the same. Great picture @Simmingal. I'd like my sims to get scared, not tense and show it.
Cars Sims 2 style, fixing them up, have them in the driveway or garage, woohoo in them, different styles then just pull out of the driveway and vanish.
I know we would probably never get it but I'd love landlines with some old fashioned options for phones. The ability to turn off the cell?
... along with that a typewriter. I sometimes make really old fashioned sims and would love the option.
The ability to write on paper.. a book or letters. Then walk the letter to the mailbox. I know we have the teen journal but more than that, reused animations for it would be fine with me.
A juicer for fruits and veggies with good benefits, maybe even as satisfying as a meal with health benefits or other benefits.
Jam making (and jelly making).
Wine making (not really using the fizzy drink maker much).
The ability to click on my sims and just tell them to clean.. I think we had something called cleaning frenzy in Sims 2. I'd like it to be across the board. I know we can make other sims clean with ray guns or magic but I'd like to click on my sim and just tell them to do it so I don't have to wonder if they got every plate ect.
I'd love to have those really tacky love heart beds (vibrating) and lip couches again too. Gotta make a proper no-tell motel.
Better babies... baths and crawling and strollers.
The return of the social worker instead of vanishing babies and kids.

More:
Giving thumbs up to group activities and more hobbies (basically any kind). Kids doing stuff that is more like free range playing.
Martial Arts... I want more than what came with Strangerville.
I also want some sort of sewing option @FatTribble23. Would love a sewing machine and a career. We've had fashion design before right?
I never played with the imaginary friend in Sims3 and I hear a lot hated it but it sounds great to me.

Definitely more crafting - give me all of it! My sims do not have enough to do yet! I miss the variations I had in S2, and the sound of some of the things in S3...and I so miss S1, that had so many crafting things I don't even think I explored them all lol. More sports too, there just isn't enough of...well...anything in the game lol.

Wow that ts1 stuff was cool! Never played that one. Would love to have all those things.
I would personally love to have EVERYTHING back from older games just because why not? The more the better.?

But the simplest things I miss are tag, slow dance, cuddle in bed, Mary mack, jumping on bed or chairs, toddler strollers, playpens (not the bright colorful fences) and my favorite interaction no one mentions from ts3. "Vow to protect"

One thing I DON'T miss from the Sims 3 is the randomly generated pregnancy outfits and the inability to edit them (I'm sure there was some kind of mod or CC for it, but I was always so frustrated that it wasn't part of the game

Sims cuddling on couches or in bed, slow dancing, snow depth and babies being real sims.

Decent snowball and water balloon fights, kids games/playing together, kicky ball, slow dancing and better romance options, humor, memories, wants/fears, details, cars, teaching toddlers to walk, personalities, and much much more!
