I miss the time travel element ... especially when you'd woohoo in it and a few days later the kid you accidentally made would come home wearing caveman clothes or whatever. It was funny! I also miss the magic mirror and the wardrobe the kids could go on a magical journey in, even if it was just a rabbithole. I miss some of the clothes, especially some of the more specialized clothing like the flapper dresses, the teen prom dress, the fairy tale clothes and the gypsy garb and the build/buy items you could use to make a gypsy wagon/caravan. I miss being able to go underwater as a diver or a mermaid to explore and find treasure. I miss being able to live on houseboats. I miss the horses. I miss the pet birds and how they could ride on your shoulder, and the pet snakes. I miss being able to explore really interesting tombs and booby-trapped houses in World Adventures, finding cool and lucrative metals, bugs and fruits in the foreign lands, and tussling with mummies. I miss the martial arts skill and sparring with friends and enemies. I miss the Genie. I miss my spellcasters being able to transform their enemies into frog people. I DESPERATELY miss the fairies. Yeah, I miss a lot of the fun gameplay stuff of Sims 3.
