Here are my suggestions...

1. Bill paying - give the family the options of paying the Electric, Gas, Cable, Phone, Rent, Car Note, Car Insurance, Music Lessons, Dance Lessons,Eating out or making a meal.. ect ect like a real family. There are only so many upgrades and stuff from the store that we can buy.

2. Grandparents - the people in VF die too young.

3. Checking the Mailbox outside of the gate.

4. Interaction between family members - hugs, kisses, talking, playing ect ect..

5. Neighbors

6. An Option to buy a new home

7. Ability to switch out meals.. they eat the same meals over and over

8. Someone suggested a Virtual City, that would be a good idea... also Virtual Beauty shop and Virtual Barber Shop or Virtual Spa.

9. A secret room inside the house. The players have to find clues that will unlock the door to the secret room.

10. A changing room, where the little people can go at night and switch into sleeping gear.

11. Swing set for the VF kids, then they can upgrade to a play area with swings, slides, merry-go-round, monkey bars..

12. Change of seasons! We get rain occasionally, but Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall would be nice. Snow in the Winter, Lot's of sunshine in the Summer, Rain in the Spring, and Falling Leaves in the Fall(with a tree in the yard).

13. With the changing seasons would be a change in activities..Winter(snowboarding, shoveling snow, ice skating, making snow men, wearing Winter gear). Summer(swimming, going to the beach, mowing the grass, BBQing, wearing Summer Gear)ect ect..

14. Holidays - Christmas, Easter, 4th of July, Thanksgiving

15. The ability to purchase new furniture.

That's all I can think of for now..

Oops one more suggestion for a new VF game. Virtual Family Farm!
They can plant, grow, and pick crops, milk the cows, feed the chickens, gather eggs, fleece sheep, ride horses, make repairs to the farm house, buy upgrades(animals, farming equipment, furniture, bigger farm house & land), go swimming in the pond, bail hay. They can also purchase a churn to make butter and cream to sell, or spin wool from the sheep into yarn to make cloth and sell it. A trip to the farmers market would be nice also.
