By my hazy memory, TS3 had some absurdness in that aspect
There were a few instances where TS3 tried to carry on some old mechanics without much success. They carried over gender preference (outside of random events like prom as you mention) very well but then things like the memories and, as you say, attractiveness were quite weak or messy. At least they made an effort.
Traits in TS3 really were quite something. There were big effects, like with Brave Sims always being able to handle any kind of emergency or Unlucky Sims literally being unable to die of anything but old age because Grim found them too funny to reap early, but then I miss so many little touches too, like how a Clumsy Sim would drop the ring when proposing.
Another thing from TS2 I really miss is how discussions actually had different animations depending on what Sims were talking about. A Sim talking about sport might pretend to swing a bat, a Sim talking about the military might pretend to shoot a gun, Sims talking about aliens might do impressions of them, Sims talking about fashion might strike poses and more. In TS4 so many interactions in the friendly section in particular are the same animations, just renamed.
