What I like:
The neighborhoods make lots much easier to find
Purchasing without leaving your home
Added emotional boosts from certain objects
New create a sim features
Building mode is fantastic
Search button in buy/build mode
Sims now multitask
Sims can now chat in groups
Color options for buy mode make it easier to maintain home themes
What I don't enjoy:
Loading screens
Very small neighborhoods; It seems there are a lot of missing and useful lots (like the hospital)
Haven't found a way for my same-sex couple to adopt/have children
No extra room on pre-built homes (There's no room for gardening)
Lack of occupational branches--I feel like there can be more exciting branches along with the choices. For instance, there are only the choices for comedian and musician in the entertainer field.
No means of transportation
I can't seem to find a way to create a style for my sims (i.e. create colors you want them to wear)
When planning events, you spend more time doing underlying plans than trying to fulfill the goals. Example: I planned a wedding in the park and immediately get taken to the event. I spent so much time trying to bake a cake and build on the lot that I ended up running out of time to complete all the tasks. It would be helpful if we could set a date/time for events to take place in the planning window.
