I miss these from Sims 3...
- The Color Wheel
- Channels on just about every Buy/Build Item to recolor or change the pattern
- Create A Pattern
- Open World
- Hair having 3 sections to the hair strand that can be color customized
- Root
- Shaft
- Ends
- Better Vacation Worlds that feel more thorough and make sense with the activities
- Specific Community Lots to attract specific Sims
- EX: Vampire Lounge
- Precious & Semi-Precious stones being mostly called their proper names
- Unicorns
- Martial Arts from Sims 3 and Tai Chi from Sims 2
- Magicians
- Doorbells - Especially being able to change them to SFX and Seasonal Themes. IRL my doorbell right now is a Turkey Gobble
- Bands
- Drums
- Pool Tables
- Spiral Stairs
- Seasonal Carnivals
- Scuba Diving
- Vehicles
- Parking Spaces
- The various Delivery & Service Vehicles
- The Carpool
- Radio
- Lights at night
- Woo Hooing in a Car
- However Sims 2 Garage Doors
- Sims 2 Car Alram
- Zombies but NOT the eating of the plants
- The Deer & the Wolf, Raccoon from Sims 2
- Flame Color
Things from Sims 4 that if were in Sims 3 would have made it an even better game
- The Day Spa & Mani-Pedis - It was a Rabbit Hole which was rubbish
- The Occult Power Systems especially the Vampires
- Werewolves
- The Packs
- The Customization - Although I wish Sims 4 looked more sinister less like a furry
- The amount of Cooking Recipes & the Baking Skill
- Jewelry Making
- Knitting
- Restaurants - They were Rabbit Holes too, for all the issues Sims 4 restaurants are better
- Hotels - The hostels sucked although the Base Camp in Egypt made sense
- Skiing
- Multi Purpose Lots
- Oh and if the houses didn't have the holiday light feature like Sims 4 does then that too
- Candy Making
- Sims 2 version of writing Books
- Being able to choose covers and the icons that become thought bubbles when the book is read (This goes for Sims 4 too)
- Water Effects
Things I think would drastically improve the current game (not bug fixes and not mentioning the current situation with the sale)
- Making Baking a Base Game skill and shifting Recipes to categories that make better sense
- Full Service Luxury Hotels
- Specificity in Community Lots
- Types of Bars

Some of things from the sims 4 you mentioned would make the game better if they were in the sims 3 actually were in the sims 3.
- You can get jewelry making with a set from the sims 3 store.
- Same with non rabbit hole restaurants.
- Hotels came with Island Paradise although they were bugged and never fixed.
- Multi purpose lots were kind of a thing. They had multi purpose community lots but they were all rabbit holes. It started with Late Night. They combined lots like the book store and spa, the office building and the rabbit hole restaurant were together, and city hall, the police station and the military base were combined in to one building. These were also a little buggy too though.

I basically don't count rabbit holes for anything. Also the counter "restaurants" in World Adventures don't really count for much either

Yeah that's fair enough. But the restaurants i'm talking about are the ones you can get from the sims 3 store. They allow you to own your own, set the menu, hire sims to work there, and choose when it opens and closes. Not as in depth as the ones in previous games or even sims 4 as it's kind of a set it and forget it type of deal. You can't choose who gets hired or actually work there yourself in any way but you do get paid for the sims that eat there at the end of the day and can take your sim to eat there as well so they do exist.

I do dislike business in sim4 for the fact you can't just ser open closing times and have it just prompt you if you wanted to stay open later like it does with vacations. If i was at my vet store physically i would forget i opened it and all my staff would be upset for because they had to work 60 hours straight.
