I just wanted to mention a few of my favorite new features (and create a thread for others to talk about theirs).

1. Adoption Services. I'm very pro-adoption so I always loved the random adoption event when it would happen in the first game. Now that we can pay to adopt, I'm even more pleased. I have a feeling I'll be adopting A LOT in this game when I have the coins to do so.

2. The customization of how the rooms are used and how the spaces look is great. It really adds to the personalization of the game I think. It's nice being able to pick and choose how the spaces look.

3. A second bathroom. I haven't gotten to the point of building it yet, but knowing that it's coming is really great. One of my frustrations with the first game was when I would have a maxed out family with only one bathroom.

4. Not having to carry the weeds to a recycling bin. Praise be!

There are so many great things that I love about the new game, but I have to say overall I just really love the new design and approach to the game play in general. [insert a chorus of yaying peeps here]
