Well, a couple of aspects I'd like to see are kinda love/hate as far as other people's opinions go. One is how much I miss the official soda machine and McD's food cart - oh how I wanted to see both pieces of that in the offline game. Even though they were brand name tie-ins, the items were so neat. Ice cream stands, etc. Also, I wish there was a way to incorporate the stuff that was on the Sims Online into the game, because I miss it.
The other thing is some more of the mundane things - real laundry machines, watering hoses, hot water heaters, lawn mowers, etc. Sure you can get great user-made versions, but they're understandably limited on function. In my real life, the mentioned elements are everyday concerns. If we have to clean counters, how is laundry different?
