The Biggest thing that needs to be in the Sims 3

Custom Built Towns.
Every The Sims game i have ever played let you build your own town/city and customize it however you want you could even add empty lots and community lots... You are unable to even place empty lots in the Sims 3. I wonder what EA was thinking taking something so popular yet simple away... This is probably the side affect from the main guy who created The Sims and The Sims 2 (who wasn't apart of The Sims 3) Was busy making Spore.
Everyone who wants them to bring back Custom buildable towns please post here.. They wont take us seriously unless we all let them know.

You should make this a petition
And not wait for it to come out in an expansion pack or something.
I don't know when it's coming, but I don't think it'll take too much longer.
I just hate that you can't pick a lot size and where you want your house to be is limited. You can't even have a business can you?
You can move your sims into an empty lot and build while they are there, or you can enter the lot in Edit Town mode and build it yourself. Your menu options have an Edit Town mode that you can choose. It's the menu with the save and quit choices, etc. Also, the Edit Town mode has a button on the left that allows you to change to a different family, and clicking on an occupied lot allows you to move families and split them up. This is all from memory, so I may be wrong on some details, but it's easy to experiment with it.
I just hope they make it an update and not an expansion pack that we have to buy.
Actually you can have multiple families per neighborhood. I just figured it out yesterday. and you CAN edit the town (i don't know about the empty lots thing yet). What you do to do both is when you're playing your game go to the far left and click the ... button. you then hit "edit town". In that you can add more sims to different houses, mess with community lots, and switch families. To switch from that screen you just go back to the left to the button that says switch active sim (or something close to that) and then you can choose ANY existing sim in the town (even EA made ones) and choose to play them.
I don't want to insult anyone with this comment, but I think before we all go crazy criticizing "missing" things, try fiddling around with ALL the buttons first, or reading the book. I found that option out by accident yesterday when I was just playing with buttons. They worked hard on this game, and even though some things are better at hiding than others doesn't mean it's not there...you just have to hunt for it. I would have preferred that there was a tutorial lesson on this particular item. Ok that's it....gonna go play now.

EA is becoming notorious for this.. Such as the Rainbow six Vegas. The first was so short you could literally finish it in 6 hours. What did you get at the end? A great big "TO BE CONTINUED!" To me this is unacceptable if your going to release a game then release the game as a whole the only thing stuff like this causes is more and more pirates.
It would be cool to be able to group items into sets like you could in Sims 2.
I'd like to be able to pick a frame for custom painted pictures, I swear I remember doing that in Sims 2 as well.
I wish there was a way to find out how old a Sim is before you marry them, so that you don't end up being a YA marrying an Adult that's about to turn into an elder in 2 days
