Exactly. Sims could swim in every body of water, in the winter they could Ice skate on frozen ponds, buy books and groceries at the stores….(which were rabbit holes though), kids and teens had a school building, there was a police station, a hospital, and a city hall from basegame, I miss this.

The biggest difference is that Sims 2 and 3 worlds are much bigger and more customizable than Sims 4 worlds. Plus Sims 3 neighborhoods could have some fun areas. Aside from the fact that you could swim in nearly all of them after an update, you had a variety of locations to visit (graveyards full of ghosts and rabbithole mausoleums off the top of my head. We also had more lot types than Sims 4, though a lot of them can be replicated in Sims 4 anyway.)
At the very least, if we're getting smaller worlds with much less customizability, they should at least make the worlds more interesting and fun.
Those rabbit hole buildings killed the neighbourhood aspect for me. You ran all over the map just to click on a building. Very lazy approach and there was no immersion, no possibility to create atmosphere or individualize the experience.
