Simple things we miss from previous The Sims games

Click on a sim & they could jump rope, food processor, sinks/stoves/counters/toilets/showers that need cleaning, neat sims clean windows, if appliances/electronics/plumbing breaks/clogs sims can attempt repair with appropriate tool -boosts mechanical skill. What the others have said. The bed actions are also available in TS2. Speaking of buying as some above were, how about actually needing to restock the fridge, and if a sim wants more than 1 outfit in a category actually needs to go to a store.
