OK, so you guys have touched on some very warm memories I have of things I loved in TS2, now that I am playing TS3 solely now...

I have to agree - the Romance options kinda suck in the base game.  I do hope they will upgrade w/EPs.  Kissing is boring and too innocent, as well as make-out.  They never grab butts anymore, lol, and I don't recall hearing the purring and growling from before, but maybe I haven't been listening.  Miss the slow dance options where you could REALLY fondle your dance partner.   

I know they weren't made by Maxis, but I really, really miss my love shower and love rugs from SexySims2, lol.  I'm hoping TS3 versions will be out soon!

Memories.  I miss the memory icons where you had your first kiss, first woohoo, births of children, had an affair, etc. 

Smart Milk and Career Rewards.  Do you get anything besides lifetime want points (if it was your want) when you reach top of a career now?  I haven't noticed anything...

The larvae are creepy and boring.  I miss powdering my baby's bottom!

Half-walls are a definite missed item.  I never realized I liked them so much until I didn't have them...Shelving is also a definite lacking in the game now.  With all the collectibles, how could they forget a place to store them?

I miss nice water features - the fountain is nice but boring after a while.  Aquariums...how could they miss this?  Being able to sunbathe and swim in the ocean...how could they create such beautiful water and ocean and deny us swimming in it?

I miss being able to go into a restaurant on a date an eat and play with food, toast, surprise engagement, etc. interactions while at the table.  I also really miss the wedding arch and the wedding video cutscreen.

What about woohoo in the car?  It was the fastest route to accidental preggo for my Sims in TS2, lol!  Haven't noticed this being an option in TS3 yet...anyone else?

Musical instruments other than guitar...I cannot believe they took out the piano, drums and violin!  How can you have a music career without multiple instruments?  And WHY can't kids play an instrument other than the toddler xylophone?  What IS up with the paper and crayons on the craft table but no interaction to draw?  I think they just totally missed that one by accident...
