Plus, when hungry, dogs can drink from lakes or rivers to have their hunger filled. I guess is how strays can survive around the world

Flame fruit from the store can also give you a Warmed (I think) moodlet.
While in University I stock up on those or buy the ITF fridge that materializes food and throw an entire serving in my inventory for between classes.
The futuristic food doesn't go bad and you can feed your friends and even get extra moodlets if you add Wonderpetal or BuzzBerry!
Also at Uni, you can apply for funds every 2-3 days and so can your other playable roomies.
I was just reading on the Sims VIP site about the game guides and found a couple of interesting things:
1. You can take greeting card photos at the various rabbit holes (like City Hall) but they have a different background! I have never even tried this before. I thought they would look just like the photos in the booths at the fairs.
2. You can join the Polar Bear Club by just swimming in the ocean in wintertime! How cool!
Both of these require Seasons. I'll see what else I can dig up.
Oh and @igazor , thank goodness those strays get fed! I always feel so sorry for them esp. when they are sleeping in snow in winter.
Actually sims can apply for funds every 24 hours after the last time they got them. Through the week the time they can get the funds starts getting later and later in the day because the 24 hours is counted from when they come out of the admin building with the funds not when they go in. Then there is also the class schedule to work around.
Also the higher their GPA the more funds they get.

While a Sim is pregnant, that Sim as well as the spouse (if there is one) will have wishes to buy baby/toddler objects.
Even if you turn off story progression, premade pregnant Sims will still give birth. But the baby won't age unless aging is on.
If two Sims with a romantic relationship are cuddling on a bed (choose this option first!!) then there will be another option to kiss the other Sim. First kisses can be done in bed this way.
Into the Future:
Plumbots have a special lifetime reward that's supposed to remove the maintenance need. If it works? I don't know, haven't tried it out yet.
If a Plumbot adopts a child, then the Plumbot's creator will count as the grandparent of that child.
Plumbots (even if built in the present and you've never been to the future before) are treated as if they had level 10 in the future technology skill, even though it doesn't show under certain circumstances. If they have the repairman trait chip they can also instantly upgrade the sonic shower even if your own Sim has a low technology level.
The same goes for children that were adopted in the future, but the skill always shows.
A Plumbot with the learning trait chip installed can actually learn the bot-building skill. Which means that this one Plumbot could build an army and take over the world. Or something like that.
Plumbots can make silly faces. Don't ask me how.
The current emotion of a Plumbot (happiness, sadness, anger, flirtiness) is shown by a symbol on its display. The graphic varies from head to head, where the less advanced looking heads have more pixelated symbols.
In the dystopian future, meteors fall down pretty much every day. But did you know you could actually collect those? They're sometimes pretty large things that literally won't fit on anything but the floor.
For the creation of a dystopian future you will receive a meteor magnet. And you can keep it! I often had my Sim get wishes and autonomous actions related to attracting meteors too.
If you look closely at the "screwdriver" they use to tune Plumbots, you'll notice how it somewhat resembles the Sonic Screwdriver from Doctor Who.
For example I've just registered Into the Future and so I could download the "Cosmic Cosmetics Bundle" (for free), which I couldn't even download at all if I didn't have ItF.
There are little things for Seasons, Pets, Generations, Showtime, and probably a few more too. You can access that list by Home->Sets->Holidays&Gifts->Registration Rewards
Another feature that I've only recently begun to use: if you have pets, they can be trained to fetch collectibles and bring in money for the household. Some collectibles are really worth alot and it's not too hard to train the pet to do this either.
Does their job performance go up when they do this?!
Did you know... that you can harvest plants in another household without anybody caring? I just robbed some farmers within a few hours because I was bored
Did you know... (in Into the Future) you can apparently win at least up to 100,000 simoleons in the lottery? Yes, 100,000. Your Sims will literally be richer than any other premade family ever, over night. My current household's second lottery ticket caused this
Did you know... that you can easily copy a CASt pattern onto another kind of object without even leaving CASt? Just set the pattern you have on one object as favourite, then go to the other object and choose the Favourites category. This also works very well to make each part of a dress have the exact same colours.
Rawwrr...

That LTR does work. It more or less freezes the maintenance bar. The interaction to tune up is still there but won't affect the bar. On subsequent reloads or travel the bar may reset at 50% full, but it won't decay.
The highest my sims have won from checking lottery records is 3 million simoleons. That can totally change a game.
You don't even have to save the pattern in CASt. Just drag the pattern and drop onto the other object or clothing part, then choose which channel to apply it too on the new object. You can also select an object, grab the 4 channels all at once, and drop onto other objects.
edit: plantsims have an option to Absorb Puddle instead of mopping it up. This increases their water motive.
@TreyNutz So basically... your Sims didn't need to have jobs anymore, and could afford just about anything in the universe?
Okay, that's even better. I didn't know they could be dragged too.
In which pack are they?

This tells you what comes with this pack. It allows teens to do pranks on other Sims, the Chemistry talent comes with it, a day care profession, a boarding school as well as other things...
