I agree 10000%. I miss sleepovers but I also miss the random vacation parent sims would get which would allow teen sims to throw a "teen party." I miss the way parties went in the sims 3. I miss the roommate system sims 2 and 3 offered. I miss the way families actually meant something and that they weren't just strangers who shared a house (for example, step-parents had a title, grandmothers, great-grandparents, brother/sister-in-laws, etc).
I mean, even a few of the items. I miss cars, lounge chairs, relaxing on a bed with a loved one, bunk beds, picnics, swing sets, taking a class to learn a skill, the memory system, rocking chairs, slow dancing with a loved one, among many other things. (Man, talking about it makes me miss Sims 3 a whole lot).
The little things definitely matter and the Sims 4 missed the ball with this. I love the new content they put out, don't get me wrong. I'm glad they've been becoming more inclusive, but game-play wise, it's just lacking.
I think what I'm really frustrated by is that while I like Sims 4, it's very apparent that they took all the good from Sims 2 and built on that with Sims 3. They didn't do that with Sims 4 imo.
