Sims 4 compared to Sims 3
What are some noticeable difference that you’ve seen between sims 4 and sims 3?? I just recently redownloaded the sims 3 after I found out that the farming pack was a hoax because I needed and missed ...

The Sims 4 does not have the depth of gameplay and a laughable personality system in comparison. Traits have little to no effect for making unique Sims, at least partially because the emotion system was supposed to be what made the Sims smarter than ever (which was left aside and not improved upon).
Anyway, I believe the rumors that have been circulating since before launch that Sims 4 was supposed to be a whole other animal-- Something online only akin to Sim City. When the latter failed, they changed course far too close to launch leaving the current gen with a janky, limited base. It has persisted too long with discussions and datamines.
I do agree that it was probably toned down for laptops after 3, but that does not explain every single limitation. No open world? Laptops. No personality depth? Laptops. No color wheel? Laptops. Child stage limitations? Laptops. No pet slots? Laptops. No replaceable lots? Laptops. No create a world? Laptops. No pools, toddlers, etc. at launch? Laptops. I can continue, but it is too excessive.
Anyway, I like 4's toddlers, vampires, graphics, and CAS the best, but I get bored in live mode far more in 4 than 3. Plus my favorite packs are Pets packs. In my opinion, 3 has the absolute best and 4 has the worst (look great, play awful because they are NPCs that take up a family slot).
As for improvement, they need to make emotions and personalities better. Also, address some of the DLC weaknesses. Finally, just get rid of the bugs.
