Most DLC released for The Sims 4 is present in The Sims 3 one way or another. But there are certain features that I wish existed in The Sims 3:
CAS:
- The ability to combine any hat with any hair.
- The push-and-pull system to modify bodies and faces.
BUILD MODE:
- The ability to move objects up and down and scale up and down (can be done with a mod, but it's pretty clunky)
- The ability to change the height of individual rooms and create all sorts of split levels. The CFE cheat sorta allows this, but it's hard to use.
- The ability to freely place windows and doors and wall objects (strangely enough, the latter exist in Sims Medieval, which means TS3's engine is capable of such feature).
GAMEPLAY:
- Toddlers. I love how integrated they are in the game. In TS3, they feel like they're just there. They can't do much. Toddlers in 4 have waaaaay more interactions and things to do, and packs do a better job at integrating them (such as Seasons including a kiddie pool).
- The Calendar feature. I love that you can customize your own events and holidays.
- The Singing skill. I think it's pretty underrated. City Living did singing better than previous packs, and it's a pity they didn't add an active career for it. I love that you can sing a capella or with an instrument, including piano for the first time.
- The Group feature. Having the ability to do thing "together" makes outing a lot easier. It's better than having to click on every Sim and having to invite them to do something.
There are also some objects I would love to see in TS3 as well, such as the yoga mat (there's a mod, but it's not the same), the Don't-Wake-The-Llama game (which was also in TS2), the walk-in closets from Get Together, the vanity table from Vintage Glamour (there are vanity tables in TS3, but Sims don't see in front of it to put on makeup; I just love that interaction).
Overall, The Sims 3 has waaaaaaaaaaaay more interactive objects than TS4. I was struggling to come up with objects TS3 does NOT have. Even objects from TS1 managed to made their way to TS3, such as the mechanic bull and the canning station. Objects some people would assume are exclusive to TS4, such as the rock climbing wall and the ice cream maker, were actually released as premium Store objects. TS3 just have SO MUCH to do. No wonder most of us are still playing it on a regular basis.
