I don't know if these have been mentioned but here are a few I'd like to see:

Major:

   ~ New animation for males for "Gaze into eyes". 
   ~ Additional animation for everyone for "Hold hands".  The swinging is cute but how about just a plain holding of hands?
   ~ An "Argue" where both parties argue.  I have a character who was seriously miffed at his wife but when they argued, she just looked surprised.  I wish she'd have argued back.
   ~ ALWAYS have the option to say "Goodbye".  It's awkward to have a nice time with someone and then just walk away.
   ~ Strollers (I do know this one has been mentioned).
   ~ An animation that allows a character to sit, watch TV and hold/cuddle the baby simultaneously.

Minor:
   ~ Necklaces
   ~ Longer shirts that aren't tunics.  And maybe not quite so form-fitting.
   ~ Basketball hoops (and options to "Shoot hoops" and "Shoot hoops with...")
   ~ Golf clubs (and options to "Practice swing" or "Practice putting").

I didn't know that!  Yay!  Ok, I'll take that one off my list and put in two new ones:

  ~ Taxis and Quick meals should have a minimal cost associated with them.  Maybe 1 simolean for a meal and 2 for a ride.  Right now, I have no incentive to cook or drive.
  ~ New Trait: Laid Back.  Nothing fazes this sim.  Doesn't get stressed out at work as often.
  ~ New Objects:  Tents and sleeping bags.  Especially good for when starting out when sim has so little money.  Portable, too for fun on the go.

Ok, that was three... maybe 4, if you count tents and sleeping bags as two separate things /wink. Maybe my sims need a calculator.

Tents came with World Adventures, and I do believe that sleeping bags are coming with Generations.  :P

Goodness. looks like  I miss a lot by having just the base game!  I'm glad to know all those things are available, even though they aren't accessible to me.  Yet.

   ~ An animation that allows a character to sit, watch TV and hold/cuddle the baby simultaneously.

You can do this if you organize it right.  Pick up the baby (either infant or toddler), click to sit on the couch, click to watch TV.  The only drawback is that it does nothing for the baby.  The social need drops unless your Sim is doing something active with the baby, like snuggling or tickling.

Thanks, Pam.  I'll have to try that.  I'm just now getting to the family stage.  Most of my sims are either single, newly married or DINKs ("dual income, no kids").  There's only one family with children.  Since one of the kids is a newborn, she'll be the perfect one on which we can try the technique!

I know that. I wish that the mommy or daddy could actually feed or snuggle the baby while sitting down. I find it kind of silly that they have to stand up in order to tend to the baby. Millions of parents do it in real life, so Sims should be able to too.

Also, what about letting children hold their baby siblings when sitting down, and it could increase the relationship between the siblings? That's another real life thing I wish EA could bring back. I wish children could pull the latch on the crib and let the toddler out. I wish my toddlers were more naughty too. They need to pull hair, draw on the walls, make messes, and climb on things. I mean taking care of a virtual toddler, as hard as it is, it's almost too easy, and unrealistic. I need a challenge.

I think a Superhero themed Stuff Pack is a must. I wish my Sims could have superhero capes and leotards. That's a must have wardrobe especially for insane Sims. It could make a great story for this thread, and more amusement in my games.

My younger sister thought of something the other day while playing. She said she wanted the gardner back. Come to think of it I agree!

I don't think so. Gardening is now a way to build skills. Doing that would be like hiring a logician to occupy the chess table so other sims cannot get to it. :P

I'd like to know who was spreading the rumors about my sims, so I could get revenge by spreading rumors about them or be able to expose them so you get back the friends you lost from the rumor.
Since my sim is so popular, she loses about 20 friends each time a rumor is spread and then has to spend a day on the phone with everyone!

I would also like to see the ability to slap someone. They have "fight", but sometimes the offense only entails a slap (like when your spouse is flirting with your best friend).

Slap is an option. When the "Fight..." Sub-menu of the main pie-menu comes up (along with Friendly, Funny, Romantic, Mean), you can pick "Slap". The sim slaps the other sim around the face about 5 times. In TS2 for console, a sim would pull out a gigantic fish, and that would be used to slap someone. ;D

I think Slap is an instant option if you have the Mean-Spirited trait.
