I really miss everything about The Sims. Maybe it's just childhood nostalgia, but those original worlds and expansion packs were so in depth. I miss grocery stores (might of been from TS2, which I also miss), being able to go to a pet store and adopt a pet, being able to go to Studio town and record a jingle and then buy special trendy clothes.
Del Sol Valley is another huge let down to me. I like that all careers and Sims have the ability to become famous in TS4 and not just actors/musicians/comedians. HOWEVER, Del Sol Valley is boring and vapid. Only 6 residential lots, seriously?! The map is 80% fake. They could have done so much more with that. Honestly, they really owe us a free update expanding upon Del Sol Valley.
