TS4 Wish List

Everyone has a wish list for TS4, and most of what I see is about specific interactions or features. Me, I'm open to whatever EA/Maxis wants to throw my way as long as it includes babies/families/generations...with just a few caveats.
1. Be realistic about computer specs. We need to know if we can PLAY the game, not just install and boot the game. I don't expect you to list every single manufacturer or component, but letting us know that a particular OS is inadequate to run a fully functional game is important. (I'm a PC player, but I know this was also a terrible problem for Mac users.) It also helps to know that the minimum required specs listed for graphics cards mean that I can at least PLAY the game with medium graphics settings.
2. Fewer features is fine, IF they are completely full and functional. For instance, in TS3 a singing skill was totally left out of the singing career, and there is no option to have a singer in a band. Musicians also get no career performance increases for skill on percussion, piano or base. I would rather this career/feature be fully thought out than have a violin to play. Sure I would love the violin, too, but if you have to choose between making more features and making the features better...go with better.
3. Please make a LTW available for ALL careers. Case in point: TS3 Education career. The LTWs don't all have to be about careers, but it would be good if all careers could have a LTW.
4. PLEASE make pregnancy length adjustable! When I play in short or even normal life span, my females spend half of their adult life on maternity leave. When the life span is shortened past the point where the pregnancy lasts about 3/4 of a sim-year the possibility of a career and a family are nearly non-existent. So,if the life span shortens, the pregnancy should shorten as well.
5. If we still have Create-a-Style PLEASE make the chimneys style-able. We did get a few different colored chimneys with one of the updates, but I really would like to make them match my foundation or other masonry.
Pretty please, with a great big Katy Perry cherry on top!!!!

That's all I really want to be in TS4. So far I am happy with what I have seen. It can only get better from here.
There's so many threads started on this topic, but they keep getting buried. Wish we could have one official thread so the team will know what everyone wants!
___________________________
Clothing options for babies instead of just diapers or blanket wrap.
More items that come with the base game for babies and toddlers like the walker in the store set...instead of multiple toy boxes and stuffed animals for pete's sake.
Better quality hair and clothing options. Hate how when a game or EP comes out there are only 1 or 2 really good non freakish looking hairstyles or clothes.
I want to see sims actually getting in and out of cars, TS2 had it, why can't 4?
4Collectibles and better storage options for them and craftables.
A different inventory for produce and the like instead of cramming everything in the one inventory.
If something like the backpack from UL is included actually make it like a normal backpack that sims put stuff in, not just as an accessory that winds up in the personal inventory.
Don't get me wrong, I love TS3 but some of the things I listed have really bothered me, most of all the dang useless UL backpack and the lack of baby and toddler items that come in game.
Oh yeah and more than one pre designed freaking wedding dress!!! Come on, not every sim wants the simple sheath type wedding dress!! How about a ball gown, and actually making a veil that doesn't require a certain crappy looking hairstyle under it!!!
