What Would Make TS4 Better?

For me the game is awsome but i still think it could be improved, here are some of my ideas. Please do share yours!! 
Free The Babies!!!
Like TS3 Basically
More Romance
Like holding hands,
Holding waists
Laying on bed cuddling,
Kissing Booths(Teens)
Spin The Bottle(Teens)
A Kiss that is just a peck, i don't want my kids seeing the current 'Kiss' interaction
Real Looking Families
Being able to go to the park and walk around like a family, not some group of strangers.
Make sure the parents watch the little kids.
Hold hands.
When at home they go and check on each other and do things together. E.g a son could go tell his mum hes off to school not just walk out the house.
Have sibling fights that make them closer.
More emotion, e.g a mum is having a hard time with relationships and the kids could be tense from watching parents fight. Or when a toddler grows up the kids could have a moodlet from watching his sibling grow up. They could be proud of each other, like when a toddler masters the potty skill the other kids could be proud. When the parents get a promotion they could be proud of each other and the kids could be happy to see their parents happy.

I'm not sure if it was an update or maybe part of the Parenthood pack, but there is a Kiss Cheek interaction that I think is very sweet. (My couples do it autonomously.) Though I don't mind if my Sim kids see their parents kissing -- I wish they'd have some sort of reaction like an "Ew Gross!" embarassed moodlet or something.
Fun must be always -- Tomas Hertl (San Jose Sharks hockey player)
Totally agree on this point. I just made a whole video on pregnancy and babies and how they could be better. 10x better than the TS3 babies with some elements thrown in from TS2. There needs to be more details and randomness involved. I think if they're going to be overhauled, they need to be toddler level overhauled.
Elders need to be shown some love as well.
I've always wanted an interaction where Sims could cook together and also teach younger Sims how to cook. I'd love to see Sims being able to stay with grandparents or other relatives for the weekend if the parents wanted to go on vacation or just wanted a quiet weekend to themselves.
Multi-function lots is something else I'd like to see as well as better apartments.
The constant delays and freezing between interactions is not only immersion breaking, but so frustrating to deal with. In a closed world set up, we shouldn’t have an issue like this.
I really wish this game could support actual ultra speed, like The Sims 2, as well. Ultra speed in my game is no different than the middle option.
- Fix the bugs (I've gotten the teleporting/resetting sims ever since Seasons, plus the stinky leaf piles)
- Fine tune the emotions, whims, and traits
- The stuff listed in my signature right now
- CASt (pretty much impossible at this point, but you did ask)
Race Against the Clock: Can your elder sim turn back the clock before their time runs out?
I'd love to have a Create a Style tool, maybe with the player being able to decide whether the outfit will be randomly used on NPCs.
Gameplay:
Better babies
shorter teens
more romance interactions (cuddling in bed, make out on the sofa, ...)
Performance improvement.
A lot more deep, interactive activities.
Oh, and opportunities like in TS3.
-More NPCS
-Risk/Rewards and cause and effect
-Interests and dislikes that can effect socialization (bring back magazines, SimTube, or other websites, so we can fine-tune their interests.)
-Game play that gives you a goal, but doesn't tell you exactly how to achieve it. It's up to you to be clever about it, or role-play it to suit your sim, or the circumstances your sim find themselves.
Swimming in the sea and beach lots
More worlds like Newcrest - my game is full after about 6 generations, I need more space!!
More bigger lots - I never play 20x30 or smaller
Better romance options - more like Sims 3
I think everything else has already been said
Product announcement - Maybe it's just me.. I don't really like surprises.. So, I would prefer to know it in advance like all the details etc.. it will be nice if we are being informed on the development of the pack for example. It will make me feel like I have been part of it... instead of just being the customer/consumer. I like the recent terrain manipulation, stream, although it's not completed yet..The developer is so amazing to share on how they come up with the tools and discuss the things that is lacking at the moment.. and how they wish they could improve it.. it shows how sincere they are with their work..
Memory system - It will be nice to have it as an option for the player. It will be so helpful for a generational play (For now, I use Excel as a database to keep all the event/info).
Gradual ageing - The gradual ageing just like the season transition or the body size (from skinny to plump). This feature will make TS4 outstanding from my POV. For example, the hair will grow by itself, or the colour will change, the facial hair, pimples, etc.
"Dramatic" NPC - I wish that we have a character such as Mrs CrumpleBottom. For me, she is the life of the neighbourhood. The burglar is a nice addition, same goes with the headmaster, secret society member... or even a "real" alien that disguise themselves properly!
Multipurpose Lots - This will not only be great for retails, restaurant, etc... but, it will give us an option to create our own small neighbourhood in a larger Lot (without limitation on the Sims headcounts).
Sims Classic - If we can have an option to have the audio of the previous Sims music while we're in CAS/build just like how they have an option for the camera style.
Yas i made a whole other thread about adding that to the game! It'd be really helpful for colours.

More things to make teens more distinguishable from young adults
Chance cards like TS2.
Memories like TS2
Smaller telescopes
Yessss PLEASE!!! I have to hover over the sim to see if its a teen or Young Adult or even an Adult! They all look the same.

Perfect list. I would love to have all of these, especially the teen stuff. They're so boring right now.
This isn't quite the same but all the Sims music is on Spotify, I have a playlist of my favourites from every game that I put on when I'm doing building
I think a romance pack is needed badly. I loved your ideas about a family staying together on an outing. @83bienchen I like you post the most here, short, sweet & to the point. Those things should be top priority before any more silly fluff packs come out. We've been begging for shorter teens since TS4 was released!
Please Bring Back Toddlers, Realistic Teenagers and Create a World.
Make the Sims (4) Great Again<3
More romantic interactions.
Better community lots.
University and education overhaul.
Attraction/Chemistry.
