The Sims 2: 50 FUN LITTLE DETAILS not in Sims 3 & Sims 4

I’d really and seriously want to ask devs why they cut down details like this so drastically in the successors. I must confess I started watching a bit biased: “Ya ya ya ya, I know, Sims 2, details, superduper, yawn.” I’m 2 minutes in now and I turned around 180 degrees. It’s painful to watch how fleshed out, fluent and complete and awesome it looks.
