Sims 3 isn't stuck in the 2010s. It's stuck in the Victorian eras of the late 1800s. Every single house is trying to look Victorian, or slightly sooner like Colonial style. There is only ONE modern house in the Sims, and that's the Wolff couple in Sunset Valley. And even that is a reach because the furniture we have in Sims 3 is decades outdated. There is no way to make a modern home without CC. There's just not any furniture or designs in the game that allow for it. And I've heard people give the excuse "Well Sims 3 is actually the first game, so..." No. The lore has never mattered in the Sims games. It's there, but EA has never designed their actual visuals off it, so why would they start with Sims 3? And only to drop every single lore in the next game, Sims 4? By lore, Sims 4 would be sooner than 3, which means probably more like a Sims Medieval at this time. So why only make 3 the only "lore" related game? It makes no sense.
