Better autonomy! It's good to take control when you WANT to, but they should be able to survive on their own. Ordering food, paying the bills, etc. is nice because it's realistic, but I don't want to have to manually do it every time over and over- I want them to pay their own bills without me telling them too. Make sims that are more responsible and irresponsible- instead of everyone vying to "hold baby", some shouldn't want to period (based on personality), but of course will if directed by the player.
A better AI is also my greatest wish. Better path finding who will wait for something to be ready, so the sim will wait in line for the dishwasher and not go to a bathroom at second floor to wash dishes.
Better autonomy and the ability to modify a queue of tasks; You wake up a sim, ask him to get dressed, use the toilet and take a shower, then eat and go out and tend crops.
That he do is wake up, make the bed because he is neat and is in the same room as the bed, find that the bathroom is in use so he will eat first, then use the bathroom. On the way out he meets his wife and kisses her. Later on he needs to use the toilet again and do it before returning to tend crops because he has a high responsibility.
Here the sims had the ability to reschedule tasks as it fitted best, add small tasks in the queue because they didn’t take much time, also to return to a long term task like studying, exercising or tending crops after a break.
I would also make more customizing, more behaviour settings in a control panel or at least in an xml file, here you could set lots of the things we use global mod for now, like autonomy for actions.
