The Sims 4 was originally The Sims Online 2.0 called Project Olympus. It was scrapped after the SimCity 2013 Disaster and quickly remade into a singleplayer game using the assets of Project Olympus in under a year. They used excuses such as emotions, tech reasons, walk styles, etc. as to why pools, toddlers, create a style, etc. were not there at launch or ever seen again.
Sims 4 will never be the spiritual successor to The Sims 3. Its basically The Sims 1 2.0 and offers hardly anything. The DLC seems more than Sims 3 and that's because they're making DLC out of every little thing. Instead of bundling laundry with and expansion pack they sell it for $10 as a stuff pack. Same with bowling and vampires.
Sims 3 brought us a better CAS, open world, story progression, and more. Its DLC added so many new things we never saw in The Sims before such as Into The Future, Island Paradise with scuba diving and boating, Ambitions with active careers being a firefighter or a ghost hunter, Seasons brought in holidays and festivals and actual aliens for the first time. At the end of the day I say Sims 3 it has its flaws but offers more content and features for its asking price since day one unlike Sims 4. Plus unlike a Sims 3 expansion pack for $40 Sims 4 expansion packs feel like a $20 Sims 3 stuff pack. They just lack so much to be worthy of the expansion pack title compared to previous entry ones.
Unless The Sims 5 brings back The Sims 3 features and adds more along with improvements nothing will be worthy of being called a sequel to The Sims 3.
Also what held Sims 3 back was its 32-bit executable (4GB RAM limitations), sloppy coding, and bad engine (seriously just use Unreal or Frostbite or make a new one with people who know tech).
