I save my sims with a height slider active and use it for pictures, though I don't necessarily use it all the time when playing the game. This is the specific one I use http://modthesims.info/d/588159 (using the standard heighslider2 without shorter teens), it's not supported by WW and it replaces the foot slider.
To get the height of my sims I start with the assumption that +0 on the slider is US average male height of about 5'9" or 175cm, with that specific slider then that means that every point about or below +0 means a 0.2% change in the sim's height, I typically have all my sims set in intervals of 12.5/13 to keep it simple for the occasional time when I make pose packs using height sliders. So I've got them set to values like +13/+25/+38 or -13/-25/-38, which is respectively roughly 5'11"/6'0"/6'2" and 5'7"/5'5"/5'3" by my assumption. Anyway enough on that, I have not included the height slider I use in any of the downloads.
Custom Careers
When I make sims and place them in the world I feel like them having an occupation (and skills and traits, but that's another matter) helps give them a bit of personality and role even when you're not playing as them. As a result I typically have my sims be saved and already be at some level in a given occupation. However I often feel like the base game careers don't offer enough variety and doesn't always fit what I have in mind for my sims, so in that case I'll probably look around for a custom career mod to use.
I'm not going to include these mods in the sim downloads, these are script mods and might frequently require updates and become incompatible with the game when it's patched. However in the case that a sim I've uploaded has a rank in a custom career this will be noted in the description of the sim and there will be a link to the mod in question. If you don't have the career mod installed (either because you don't want or the mod no longer works), sims with custom careers will simply be unemployed when placed in the game and should cause no issues. Currently I'm using a bunch of career mods by Midnitetech, as well as the AEP pornography mod by Ksuihuh

About Requests
I don't really do them. I am however open to suggestions or however you want to phrase it. I always make my sims off reference pictures, and I sometimes have a sim stay WIP for a long time before I come back and finish them, sometimes making edits based on a completely different reference picture.
The thing is that although I use reference pics I'm not as concerned with actually achieving a close likeness as I am with just getting a sim I find interesting, and I often find the most interesting sim faces to come from sims who don't come up looking like their references.
So that's what I mean in that I am open to suggestions rather than taking requests, in that I'm quite happy to get references to work from that aren't the ones I've picked out myself (which tend towards my own preferences), but that I'm not interested in spending alot of time trying to get as close a match as possible to a reference picture and that I work at my own pace and might end up combining or reworking WIP sims.
If you do have a suggestion or request you'd like to make despite these notes about how I work, then at the moment it'd perhaps be best to make them in the thread for collection on LL, I don't plan on adding a tier where Patrons can make requests, though I may consider polls, but that's definitely a hypothetical.
