Build/buy overhaul
• Being able to change objects footprint size so you can fit more things and sims manoeuvre around objects better that IRL they would be able to do
• Remove or turn wall part on roof invisible to make roofs more versatile
• More roof shapes: half circular/hexagonal/octagonal roofs, angle half circular/hexagonal/octagonal etc
• Option to turn roofs into rooms ( when a roof is at a certain height)
• Curve the edge sides of roofs as well as top so the roof can better integrate with other roofs
• Detail mode for build/buy (if CAS has why not build mode). detail mode includes: separating colour swatches of frames on different objects such as bed frames, chair frames. Separating skirting and panelling. Ungrouping objects from each other like set of 3 lights and pillows. When in build/buy you select that category objects you are given a detail mode option of that object that highlights that object section you want to separate or swatch separately
• Panel and skirting separate from wallpaper (panel/skirting category)
• Foundation paint to also include the same paint as wall paint (and panel paint if add that category)
• Mattress separate from bed
• Change door colour on the different sides
• Being able to put windows on top of each other on the same tile
• Have railing and curtain separate so you can extend how long you want a railing to be
• Railings don’t clip into windows
• Fencing without a lip
• All fences to have a matching gate and railing
• Stair corners option to connect two stairs edges
• Cribs separate from babies and more crib options (hanging crib, woven crib, basket)

• Plain Sheer floor length curtain for all heights
• Flushed to wall blinds
• Checkered curtains
• Single tile fall length curtain
• Single tile,2 tile,3 tile Modern shutter curtain for short windows and floor length
• All mirrors start at the bottom so you can have them at any height
• Couple swings
• Tree swing
• Tyre swing
• Single swings that also be used as seat as well as swing
• Small exercise equipment (dumbbells, skipping rope, pull up bar)
• More base game kid activities (hopscotch, toddler rocking horse)

• Bunk beds
• Sleeping bag
• Pull-out sofa-beds
• In ground jacuzzi/hot tub
• Ceiling shower
• Base game one tile shower (which will probably be ceiling shower)
• Colour swatches be located at the side beside the object rows, so they don’t cover the row other objects
• More colour swatches from objects all object should have all the wood colours and all the rainbow colours
• In detail mode split swatches colour frames separate from object
• More kitchen counters and cabinets

• Under counter fridge and washing-machine
• Change countertops swatch separate from counter
• Under counter oven
• Stoves separate from oven
• Wall microwave, wall in cabinet oven
• Fridge cover cabinets to matches current cabinets
• Hidden fridge so fridge looks like kitchen cabinets
• Use cabinets and counters as actual storage for appliances like microwave and coffee machine so they are not always put and you can place them out
• Add roof trims and friezes like fences so they are accurate
• Free movement on surface objects instead of slots so you can freely put any object in the position you want
• Any object can go on any surface (so we don’t get floating objects with move objects on when you try to place a object without a snap on that particular surface)
• When you resize a surface object other objects that on top don’t snap top it’s original height but to it current height.
• Column slider working on corners of the wall
• Turn on/off snapping so object don’t always automatically snap (e.g bushes and columns snapping to house on a foundation or curtain snapping to window)
• Glass floor tile
• Connect a living room chair and ottoman (similar to dining chair with table) turns seat function into a lounge using the two seating objects
• Paint ceiling
• Update all windows with black and white swatch
• Modern toilets holder
• Get together wardrobes work on diagonals in wall (make wardrobe size change for diagonal axis)
• Being able to move mouse holes and apartment utility box so so can decorate the build how like because it a shame not being able to upgrade the apartment how would (when IRL you can fix mouse entrance so it doesn’t make sense a necessary to keep it in the same spot)
• Being able to save apartments as apartments they should be a apartment in at least the room menu however we should be able to save to a apartment as lots not having to find a work around especially when we have penthouses
• Split levelling
• Being able to connect walls at different wall heights
• Being able build wall on half tiles
• Terrain manipulation should be able to right next to wall
• Being able to paint on terrain manipulation dirt patches

• All windows and doors and frames at every height
• Placing window on top each other on the same tile

• Ceiling latch for stair and ladders so when to put ladder/stair to a roof it doesn’t flood make the room underneath open.
• Being able to place gates on half tiles

I have one that I don't think you listed.....
The ability to lower one wall of a room and the ceiling, to create slanted ceilings for mid-century modern style homes, or to make a "peaked" ceiling, like attics have.
If everything on your list was implemented, I'd never ever want another Sims iteration!
added
For example: PICTURES.
Pictures should be sub-divided into art work like paintings, posters, decals, groupings of pictures and utility objects like a bulletin boards.
Don't get me started on WALL HANGINGS.
Having a "Clutter" category is wayyyyyyy too general.
Or better yet, let us make our own categories and and tags show only certain items appear in those categories.
I loved collections in TS2 and TS3, it was a pain to make them but once you painstakenly took the time to organize it how you felt was logical, it was soooo much better!
Deco Shoes/Clothing
Deco Pillows
Fake Architecture items
Kitchen Wall Decor
Kitchen Clutter
Bathroom Towels
Deco Blankets
And on and on and on!
Plus, a more accurate idea of what CLUTTER is verses STUFF or STATUES would help. There are things that I think should be in one category and go there to find them, but they aren't there so, off I go scanning another possible location.
