so many great suggestions here. I don't have anything to add, just wanted to express support. I hope some of them go through, even if it is the more simple ones. I'm so fed up of moving my builds from lot to lot, just to find one where the pictures will look sort of ok!
Some ideas: vehicles//bunk beds// more different comforters beds for adults and kids(Paris theme, mermaids, unicorns, sports theme, beach, Disney, etc)//more shower curtain themes//kid and toddler bikes// water slides for pools//stuff to design closets and walk-in closets//tree houses//military career and military base expansion set//working garage doors//spiral stair cases//working gates for fences//shopping mall expansion set//RV stuff//more pets (birds snakes)//stuff to design garages (tools tool chest oil change stuff etc)//
I think being able to choose our own angle of builds is the most common requested feature for the Gallery here, and yeah, we really need that. Some lot have rocks exactly in front of the lot and when saved to Gallery it's just a rock picture.
Another thing that I'd like to see and might be not a popular opinion, is to create our own Folder. Let us sort our household, rooms, and lots. For example, here I'm creating my own save file and I'd like the household I created for my save file goes under the Save File folder. I don't want it to mix with other households. I do upload speed build videos to my Youtube channel and I want to put the building I create from speed builds into a separate folder, away from Save File Builds folder. Of course this is not only useful for people like me but anyone can sort their builds by any category they created themselves: modern, classic, suburban, gothic, etc.
I think it would be super beneficial to have a list to select from for poses and galley pictures instead of having to repeatedly click the camera button to find pose or angle you like.
I definitely wish there was a way to choose poses for each individual character as well as how they appear, basically whether my alien displays in her disguise or not, and the same for mermaids etc
For better gallery images I prefer to use lighting variations to create mood in rooms. I wish that Simmers could change the colors and brightness of an individual light or room in build/buy mode. It stinks having to play live mode, and visit a lot just to change the saucer light color from the default to blue for a better gallery picture when I save the room.
Custom photography in the gallery for lots and households would be fantastic, although I do see the need for a default automated pic to be included as well to ensure it is accurately depicted.
I kind like how the way it is, because thinking now. The portrait takes of what Sims 3 and Tomodachi life had. Would be nice for individual posing, but that could be terrible. Sometimes it's nice with some times they kind of hold hands.
After seeing Ross's story of his discovery of what a few Minecrafters doing with his emotes, that might be the diaster that EA is avoiding for the public sake.
as others said, it's being discussed since 2016... It's a little disappointing to not see any improvements on lot images. i don't know if EA ever made another announcement as to why this is not possible - or much more there is only the suggestion to save the lot and move it to a different location.
BUT I build some lots for a specific location, like a new club lounge in Del Sol Valley, Starlight Boulevard. It's made to fit there so placing it anywhere else doesn't make much sense to me.
I do get why EA might not allow to take your own picture, but at least the first image could have rotation options. Just so that we can present our builds in the best way. There's still be a somewhat unified look, because those angles would be set and still allow some freedom for builders.

For food stalls in each neighborhood and cool vendors who don't care for explosions
screw the pictures, add a button or a menu option that allows the player to manually switch townie generation off, that keeps them in the game but gives the player free will to choose whether or not to have random multi-coloured potatoes appearing outtve thin air, its already annoying that santa sticks around like hes wanted and that the guy running the kiosk in strangerville needs a debug to get rid of him
I hope the sims add a new hobby for sports minded persons like basketball, volley ball, tennis etc. So there is a category which sport you would like to play to your sim.

1. being able to choose your angle of your build using a 3d camara
2. choose the exact time of day not just day night noon and midnight I want to be able to choose times more specific like 2:00 9:00 things like that.
3. I want you to be able to choose your sims pose more specifically because sometimes I like one sims pose but then I hate the other sims pose
I could go on and on but in tired so that's the end I guess

Add more hobbies please.
