Zolt there were Sims 2 players that said exactly what you said when Sims 3 came out and many never moved to Sims 3 at all. Some did come back when Sims 4 came out because they got back the full control of their sims - but like you and lots of us are getting annoyed without the toddlers because the family aspect of the game including the toddler stage are really important to these same simmers who found Sims intolerable. Like you Maxis may lost them again as these simmers just are not happy with the game without the full family in tact as well as the ability to control their whole Sims world. So rest assured you are not alone.
I love to control all my sims seamlessly as well as play with whole families - but unlike many was able to adapt and even find a way to enjoy Sims 3. On the same note i was very aware the Sims in sims 3 were very robotic and was not full of personality like Sims 2 were. Appearance wise well Sims 2 nor Sims 3 would win any award in my veiw - at least not easily, but I did managed to always be able to make my sims good enough i was satisfied with them. I have to admit Sims 4 sims are the easiest to get lovely sims, just as Sims 4 build mode is much easier to make some of the best houses I have ever made so fast. I am not a creator, nor did I ever have the patience to sit there tweaking a house to perfection like the actual simmer creators I know and adore can do. I do not fool myself - I know I am not a creator - but i have to say i am quite pleased with what comes very easily in build mode for Sims 4. Of course I understand how the Sims 4 world map style makes it hard for creators to create with limits. But you mention Sims 1 - which I agree it does seem to be a much more advanced Sims 1 map - but if you think of the Sims 1 map - when it started out it had 10 house lots and nothing else. By the time the game was completed the map had endless places to go and fun things to do and there was never an ep added world that you could not access from the one map. Never mind the fact they released the code for simmers to add their own additional streets and lot areas.
Overall that was really the ideal system if you ask me - especially if compared to Sims 3 where going to another world even from an ep meant starting over or at least using a mod - but they would never be a part of the same world you were playing. So eventually there will be lots more room for creators to create. That is just a matter of waiting it out - unlike us that are missing an entire life stage and have nothing to back up the idea they will actually be added to this game. So eventually you will have the room to further create - i t's a given seeing all ep world always has some open lots. I just wish for the sake of those players who waited to come back to Sims 4 and cannot adapt and enjoy a different play style - that they did not finally come back in vain.
I know myself even though i was able to adapt and had a ton of fun with Sims 3 - even I will find not having the toddlers a bit tough to swollow.
