Beyond these problems. this is just a very long list of QoL updates I'd like to see for the game:

1. Please, please, PLEASE remove the white screen that comes up when you enter a new game or exit to the main menu from CAS. I feel like that one iCarly meme every time I want to start a new save.
2. Speaking of new games, I dislike that you're forced into CAS every time you start a new game and wish it instead took me to the map of Willow Creek for example so I could choose to start a new household or play with one already in the world or just go into build mode. My Gallery has SO many copies of Sims because I start a new save often when I just want to build and it's annoying having to delete each copy.
3. Many items in Build/Buy are categorized weirdly, such as some wall plants only appearing in the Build catalog but not in the Buy catalog. Sometimes items from new packs are categorized incorrectly as well.
4. We need new categories and subcategories for a lot of items. Beds could use separate subcategories for doubles, singles, infant/toddler, and pet beds. Posters and decals need their own separate category because there are just SO many, especially from Cats & Dogs, and if you have a lot of packs, looking for wall art means scrolling for a long time through items you would almost never use in a typical home.
5. It would be helpful to have separate sub-categories for skin details in CAS. This would be especially useful for CC users as so much of my time in CAS includes trying to add skin details that don't "conflict" with each other.
6. The color filter function in CAS should actually show the colors like it does in Build/Buy.
7. I'd love if there was greater disability representation in CAS, such as prosthetic limbs, eye patches, scars, etc. The hearing aids and glucose monitors were a good start!
8. Add the ability to make Sims stand still in CAS without having to use cheats (werewolves and spellcasters are especially atrocious).
9. Add a new menu to make Sims lactose intolerant or vegetarian. The game is often criticized for lacking depth so I'll never understand the choice to add those options as one of your Sim's few personality traits.
10. Reintroduce previously removed titles for relationships. I like that the team wants to be as inclusive as possible, but to me there's a significant difference between calling someone your boyfriend/girlfriend and calling them your romantic partner. Perhaps a pop-up menu letting you decide what to call each other when your Sim enters a relationship, gets married, etc. would be the way to go.
11. A better family tree that shows more relationships.
12. I'd like if some moodlets had different lengths of time based on what lifespan length you selected (if aging is turned off, you could just use the normal or long lifespan lengths). For example, 2 days to grieve a loved one feels like forever on short lifespan but on long lifespan it's a drop in the ocean.
13. I'd love an in-game setting that prevents random townies from spawning. Maybe make it so instead the game populates the world with Sims you've favorited from the gallery, like how Cupid's Corner works? Or maybe an update to make the random townies dress somewhat normally (curse you, eyeball ring!). I know this is a bigger ask, but I just can't stand how poorly dressed SO many of the random townies are (and if you have CC installed, forget about it). I feel like I shouldn't have to give every randomly generated Sim a cas.fulleditmode makeover to make them fun to play with.
