Don't Miss

Create a Style

Open World

Sims 3 (I wasn't fond of the art style plus it bricked my PC as a kid)

Sims 3 Memories System

Zodiac Signs

I don’t miss
- waiting for textures to come in
- Sims waiting forever to get into the elevator
(I once had a party where no one came up to my apartment cause they were all stuck waiting for the elevator)
- Empty dance clubs
- Sims 3 reputation system
- Bands only getting gigs if you answered the phone and that phone call only happening maybe once a week (how will I ever get famous this way!)
- Rabbit holes
-My Sims randomly getting pregnant when I switched to another household for just a second
-sims 2 teen acne
- how repetitive the ambition careers were
- Not being able to pick your lifetime goal

Things I miss
- FEARS from the sims 2! I miss this the most! Please bring back
- Mental breakdowns and the therapist
- Witches
- University
- Teens that actually look like teens rather then looking like young adults
- That kids and teens cold force other people to do their homework for them
- Attraction system from sims 2
- Bicycles
- Teen parties
- When the cops showed up at a rowdy party
- Pottery
- Soccer
- Sims 2 memories (except not that they would remember meeting every single sim or other small things, that was too much. just the big stuff like weddings and babies being born, and the fact that they might have a negative memory of their wedding - so funny)

I’m sure there is more but those are the main stuff I think about

I miss fairies and genies the most.

I also don’t miss open world. It’s nice not to have to deal with lag because some sim somewhere can’t get into their bathtub or something.

No kidding on the memories thing. I turned them off as soon as I could because I saw the list of things that created memories. “Oh boy you found a rock!”

I look back at sims 3 videos and the faces they made could be really unfortunate.

I miss some cas items, but not how hideously stuff clipped.

I just remembered how I don't miss sims having to have friends as a requirement for their job.

No promotions for you if you're a friendless loner who doesn't like socializing or butt kissing the boss. :#

I miss there being somewhat of a penalty if your sims had a critical low social or pretty much had zero money and would start panhandling.

- Opportunities
- Story progression

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
- Accessories being attached to hairs and outfits rather than being separate

Agree with basically everything in your lists. Few remarks:

• lifetime rewards can be changed by using testingcheats; personally I like the challenge to really having to think that one through before I choose
  
• for those encountering it: apparently grounded kids can actually go to school when the parent takes them (as a group), which is in fact sort of logical
  
• there’s a toggle that prevents sims from autonomously becoming supernatural, with one exception (mermaids)
  

Apart from that, nothing to add. Well, one: I miss rabbitholes being buildings in 4. For me that adds immersion. A sim just disappearing doesn’t work for me.
