1. I consider waiting another 4/5 years for the traditional Pets/Seasons/Supernaturals/University EPs to be a big mistake. They should all be in the base game imo or at least add them progressively in free updates for pets and supernaturals. This way, they can work on different things Simmers have been asking for since day 1.
2. Leaving a complete life stage which had been there since the first game at launch. If they need more time to make it more in-depth, they should delay it as long a it need to be.
3. No pools/ghosts/cars/family tree/burglar/police/firefighter and other NPCs at launch. Again, if they need more time they should delay the game to integrate all those things.
4. Never let moodlets, emotions or whims override personalities. A problem I have with both S3 and S4 because they make the sims react the same way in all situations.
5. No CASt or a color wheel at least.
6. Only 3 traits to choose, 1 for toddlers and children. I'll go as far as saying 5 is not enough.
7. Not being able to move out part of the family in the library or in an empty lot. It just doesn't make any sense to me.
8. Sims somehow knowing their partner is whoohooing with another sims as soon as they are in the same lot, it was so frustrating.
9. All sims already having phones and constantly using them, especially for those who don't like technologies. I liked that we had to buy them first before using them.
10. Not having open restaurants.
11. No cleaning skill.
12. Rabbit holes.
13. Not being able to go to the hospital/police station beside work.
14. Not having meaningful relationships: enemies inviting the other to hang out, strangers inviting kids to go to nightclubs.
15. Having only 7 skills.
16. Not having the accessories and clothes separated in CAS.
17. Removing the "play" interaction.
18. Not being able to choose the aging setting between the premade families and NPCs.
19. Not being able to travel to the other worlds available once you choose where to live.
20. Neglecting the other life stages and focusing mainly on YA.
