Miss:
- Burglars
- Home phones and prank calls
- TS2 style memories
- THE IGNORE BUTTON ON CHANCE CARDS
- Wants and fears
- Turns ons/turn offs
- Children who are taken away by social workers being able to be adopted by others
- School buses/carpools
- Teaching teens to drive
- Horses, along with birds and other small pets
- Story progression
- The newspaper
- Imaginary Friends and being able to bring them to life
- Being able to just buy cakes for birthdays or weddings rather than having to make them yourself

Don't Miss:
- Being forced to work with all 25 personality points and them deciding your Sim's zodiac sign for you
- TS3 style memories, how you could get a memory for every little thing, and how they would actually take up space on your save file
- The "room" meter
- Having to purchase a lifetime reward in order to change aspiration
- TS3 style punishments. Getting grounded keeping kids from even going to school? Seriously?
- Punishment and scolding being a completely autonomous action that you could not cancel
- Creepy ice cream trucks stalking your household; It would've been better if they would just show up while out in parks or something
- TS3 zombies
- The neighborhood being automatically populated by expansion and patch content
- Unplayed Sims autonomously becoming supernaturals beyond your control

Yes to all of this!
I'll also add to things I miss.
- TS2 style businesses.
- TS2 style grocery/clothing stores. To buy/try on outfits
- Having to buy magazines
- The delivery people and the truck after ordering groceries to fill empty fridges up.
- Online dating
- Kids hugging their parents when they come back from work.
- The aspiration bar and sims worrying when it is too low and the therapist.
- Cribs, changing table and bathing babies in a sink.
- Other supernaturals
- Swimming in the ocean, houseboats and scuba diving skill
- Sunbathing and lounging chairs
- Neighbor kicking your bin and/or stealing the newspaper
- Random accidents and deaths in TS1/TS2
- Volleyball court
- The souvenirs
- Music bands
- Lemonade stands
- Bicycles, motorcycles and scooters
- Children learning cooking skills

Don't miss:
- Aging ONLY 3 other sims with us.
- Having only 5 aspirations to choose from
- Sims automatically knowing their lovers is whoohooing with another no matter where they are.
- TS1/TS2 closed worlds and loading screens.
- TS2 style vampires.
- Pets filling one sims slot.
- Having only 7 skills.
- Toddlers not being able to use the stairs.
- Children not being able to take care of themselves while parents are away.
- Sims taking more time to cook than eating while talking together without a mod.
