Because there's been, IMO, a growing issue of a small, but vocal and persistent minority dominating feedback, I thought it would be helpful to make a compilation of the most interesting, unique, creative and useful ideas everyone has been posting so that the devs get a better perspective on what the community
on the whole has been asking for. Also, I am hoping that by posting this list, some of the threads on this list will gain more exposure and inspire other players to either continue fleshing them out or use them as inspiration to come up with some ideas of their own.
Note: This compilation is a work in progress, meaning that I will be adding more links as I comb through the rest of the forum. Also, I won't be posting links for requests that are obviously in the works (like Pets and Seasons), could never be added (dinosaurs, zoo), can't be done (too controversial) or the devs have made clear are not coming back (casT, open world, etc.).

Bookmarked your thread for use
Great list! Thanks for getting it together!!
I would like to, but this falls under the category of "could never be added/not gonna happen." Maybe in TS5 they will consider it but I'm pretty sure that this is out of the question for TS4, especially since the most requested life states are preteen and supernaturals and they just rolled out the toddler update. If you want, you can edit your post to link to the thread that asks about young child lifestates. That way, people will still be able to see that idea even though it's not in the master list.
I have a thread up for a "SAW", which is about allowing players to upload neighborhoods. But tools for world/neighborhood customization, IMO, seems like another "not gonna happen" idea. The engine for TS4 is just too different from TS3.
Thanks.

First and foremost, I've noticed a lot of discussions on this forum on the topic of traits and emotions and how to improve and expand upon those systems. I would suggest dedicating a whole category to this topic in the OP. Some good threads I've seen focusing on this area of gameplay:
