For Those Currently Playing and Enjoying Sims 4
Which version of the game did you start with?

I started with TS2, skipped out on 3 (though, I've recently decided to give it a try to see exactly what people enjoy about it...besides, there's a bundle with the base game, an expansion, and a stuff pack for $20, and "Supernatural" is also $20, so I can get a pretty good deal on most of the content I find most interesting in a Sims game to really explore what that game has to offer), and decided to get 4 because CAS just blew me away.
As someone who started with TS2, the things I miss the most in this game are BodyShop, the freedom to build whatever kind of community lot you want without a checklist and have it actually work, swings, bathroom stalls (the makeshift ones I construct by putting every toilet in a public bathroom in its own room just don't cut it), diving boards (the platforms from "Get Together" are nice and all, but they don't have the same aesthetic charm as a traditional diving board), playing "Marco Polo" in the pool, burglars, sim-to-sim interaction games ("Red Hands", "Rock, Paper, Scisors", "Tag", "Cops and Robbers", etc.), fears, being able to pick the bed frame and color separately from the bedding, and sims waiting while another sim was making a group meal if they were hungry instead of going to make their own meal autonomously. Not that I don't like TS4 and the things it does well, but there are just some things from TS2 (large and small) that it would be be much better with.
