I did not catch the three things part on first read through, duh, oops. So here is three more.
Improved Fishing skill so it is not so impossible to catch all the fish.
cow plants with there own hidden personality/mean/friendly/grumpy/ shy
classes like we had in sims 3 to improve skills
Discover University has the classes back from Sims 3 to improve your skills! You either go to a building on campus or use your telephone and then choose which skill and disappear into a rabbit hole for a while. I always forget about this feature so thanks for reminding me! lol
My desires for 2021:
1. Continued refinement of Sims personalities which would include updating all weak traits so they were noticeable and actually had effects. Allowing more CAS traits to be chosen in Create A Sim would also be a must! I'd say Children could get 3, Teens should get 4, and Young adults through elders can have 5 and more. I also thought they could add ability to add another CAS trait to the reward store and allow you to have up to 8 total traits. Personalities could be refined by adding fears and phobia system. Perhaps if a fear or phobia is realized you get a strong negative hit to your mood and lose your satisfaction points depending on how strong said fear or phobia was. They could have a Sims-like version of therapy where you could go off to a rabbit hole to work out your realized fears for a cost and that could be a quicker way of settling the strong negative mood hit. Another way to settle strong negative mood hit could be to talk it out with a sim who is at least a good friend to you and that could slowly bring your mood into positive levels. I think we need more benefits to having strong friendships so it would give a greater incentive for your sim to have close friends! The way your sim reacts to fears and phobias of course needs to be tied to your traits!
2. Continued refinement of sentiment system!! Keep adding them with every pack and they really need to look at older packs and add ones that make sense. I think occults need their own variety of special sentiments. There should be sims that have stronger negative opinions of vampires and so forth. Especially if a vampire sucks your blood!!
3. Generations Pack! We need in depth expansion that fleshes out every single stage!
4. Hobby Pack! Bring back hobby enthusiasm from Sims 2 but update the system to be much better and have goal posts to work towards for each skill. Add about 6 new skills in the pack. No need for a new world in a pack like this so they could fully focus on the gameplay.
1.The ability to build our own functional apartments in all the worlds, as we see fit.
2. casinos/vegas style pack, where they can add a proper, FUNCTIONING entertainment venue so that sims don't have to crowd the stage to watch a singer (or hopefully band)
3. a proper fix to emotions and personalities to make sims not feel so "samey" for us rotational players, and a fear emotion added.
1. Romance - i.e., Slow dancing, holding hands while walking together, gifts after a great date (ala TS2) or even bring flowers before a date (have their date pick them up at the door too), cuddling/spooning in bed, table proposals, footsie, etc. Hopefully with an overhaul to the current 'romance' in the game to get rid of that God awful fist pump woo hoo agreement and improve 'make out' on couches. What they do now is NOT making out in my opinion.
2. Body Hair!
3. Clothes/Hair/Makeup and more objects that aren't so clean/new/perfect for Dystopian/Rags to Riches game play.
Bonus:
More traits and slots for them, more aspirations and careers. Plus, even though you said no packs, I'm still wishing, hoping, dreaming for a Farm pack with a gigantic world full of large lots for big farms and room for crops.
I'd also love a world like mentioned above with no fake buildings or driveways in front of the lots. Something like Glimmerbrook, but without the fancy driveways and paved roads. Why can't we have dirt roads? Or even an entire island world like what's in Windenburg before they borked it to add walk-bys. I loved that island before they did that.
I have a lot more things I'd love to see next year, but I'll stop here. I apologize to the OP, but there's just too much I'd love to see to only stick to three. I tried, but failed... *shrugs*
I'm dying to have all of the above! And would be in heaven if we ever got them!
But, I also want:
Turn Ons/Turn Offs
A farming pack (only if it comes with actual animals to tend to and use for functional things ... ie butter, milk, eggs, wool etc), I don't want just more crops, we have plenty of gardening stuff
More family play, so I guess a Generations type pack
The ability to put any lot any size anywhere (like in the Sims 2). A watertool. Swimming in all the seas and some rivers. Decent textures. World control would be lovely too.
Find me; Freeasabird, The Shed @ Sims 4 Studio. Custom content for The Sims 4.
I gave up on this installment of The Sims long time ago, so even if they added stuff that I want it would not be done right.
But if I were to fantasize:
1. Rework/Update of the Whims. I need them to play my game, they always drive my gameplay and them being disabled and ignored and not even be moddable pains me greatly.
2. Open neighbourhoods. I know they won't do it at this point but as I said, fantasizing... I find it very painful to live next to a park and seeing all the items on it (including junk that sims left there last time I visited) and yet I have to go through a loading screen to go to the park...
3. Ability to build our own apartments. I loved this in Sims 2! That was my main source of fun back then, no idea why... So having a small apartment building or townhouse lots would be nice.
There is so so much more the game sill needs in my opinion but I had to pick 3.
- Task continuity when sims are left at home, the limited option to build a skill or look after themselves won't make them do their homework or get to bed. Not having continuity makes it difficult to leave the house without absolutely everyone - say, if you wanted to succesfully run a restaurant or just have a date without the kids. It’s my biggest bug bear with TS4 - Fully buildable apartments that can function as a whole complex (communal areas – gym, bowling alley, lifts, common room…) - Grocery deliveries – why did they ever get rid of this? It’s perfectly normal to buy groceries online, plus you need this stuff to cook
Ability to change apartment boundaries and edit public areas.
Fence posts, allow us to place and remove fence posts from fences manually, allowing us to decide where a fence section begins or ends.
Open neighborhoods with no loading screens.
An option to set which Sims get to visit which neighborhoods in which worlds.
Salvadorada and Granite Falls converted into Residential worlds. There's no real distinction for vacationing anymore, so we should get to populate them with locals.
My top three things that I want for Sims in 2021 are:
1. Whim overhaul - whims that would encorporate all of the packs, new activities and be more personality oriented than emotional. I also wish for some kind of fear/want system that could be even made through the whims (for example the emotional whims could be changed into fears and if the sim acted on the whim it would make him feel negative emotion based on the nature of whim. I just really want the whims reflect on the sim's personality and have some effect on the gameplay.
2. Some kind of generations pack - especially made with new activities and interactions for kids, teens and elders and of course better babies... Some things that I would love to see: strollers, baby carriers (would be great for hikes), kids being able to have different friendship types and more games and kid specific interactions they could do with other kids (I really miss the games kids played together in TS3 ) Same for teens - more interactions, more school events and text situations, proms, field trips. I want teens to feel more like actual teens and not smaller adults...And for elders I want more family activities for them - the reminiscence feature from nifty knitting is awesome, I want more stuff like this. I want to elders feel like grandparents again...
3. More romance interactions with new animations. Turn on and turn offs. There are great mods that I use for this, but it would be great if it was incorporated through official patch or GP.
And last but not least I would really enjoy a better memory system. The one that is in TS4 could be great if only: 1) they made it easy accessible from the sim panel 2) we could change the emotion associated with the memory and 3) the memory panel would only showed memories for selected sim...
I still want to be hopeful we will get at least some things we want, but if not, I still have my hope in modders...
1. Fix the clay hairstyles, dishes being put up on top of half walls, Get Together outdoor parties, unplayable pets,
Mermaid glitches, Island Festival, No Occult powers in Batuu.
2. Babies being a real sim not an object.
3. New Lifestates of Fairies & Werewolves in Sims 4.
1. Generations, with improved nooboos in the prerelease patch (or is that cheating?)
2. Romance/wedding EP
3. A fix for the alien face glitch (you all saw it coming!)
2- retro washers and dryers topload and front load and retro style furniture base from 1950,1960,1970,1980,1990,2000 to now (upcoming 2021)
3- toggles to turn off ghost in game vampires and other supernaturals to give players options depending on the kind of story they play or if they went a save with no supernaturals sims those are my top 3 things i went in the game

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'd like ALL the bugs fixed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm still peeved that they never fixed all the bugs in Island Adventures in TS3.
yes there are lots people that want all the bugs fixed I feel the same way about Island paradise in sims 3 @catmando830 but I think they have to wait for the game to be all most finished for them to fix all the bugs
1. Improved babies: I love family play and these object babies kill my vibe every time.
2. Horses: The amount of stories I could use this in! Would love to see it.
3. More Intelligent Sims: As in, what was the selling point of the Sims 4. Sentiments/lifestyles is a good start but I would like to see some reactions! Notice when your spouse is cheating, or when your teen sneaks out at night! And have varied reactions based on traits
Bonus: updating achievements and whims, ladders, more after school activities, games for kids without objects like tag or house, wedding update, and slow dancing
I would love it if teens could get in to more trouble to
4: Careers to be incorporated into home life. e.g. Doctors being able to help family/friends.
5: Real rock and metal stations on the radio and the ability to create Rock/metal music instead of the pop/dance rubbish.
6: I would love to see my occult sims embrace their occult and for other non-occult sims to properly acknowledge occults and not just be like "oh your a witch" then forget.

I agree with you on elders
I would love it if teens could get in to more trouble to

- the option to run a store on your home lot
- an update for alien sims (more abilities and a small new neighborhood for Sixam where they can live)
2: The option to choose the skills my sims learn and when to learn them
