I love the multitasking!! Something I've been wishing for for years. Being able to socialize while eating, watching TV or reading a book, is a wish come true. Also love the emotions, how the sims look when they are socializing. I like their body changes, facial expressions change with their emotions. I love watching them socialize!
However, I was surprised that there are only 4 community lots. In create-a-sim I didn't even notice that there were no swimwear (guess I was eager to start playing to notice), but I noticed later. Being able to swim in the sims3 was amazing, and am surprised that we are unable to do so in TS4. But I'm hopeful that this will change perhaps in an EP. I love being able to click onto my sim and change their body directly, BUT was surprised that the color wheel was removed. I don't miss this that much with the hair and makeup, but having the color wheel option in regards to clothing would have been appreciated because the clothing options are surprisingly less.
Love the search option, but really miss the 'buy' menu, now it's included in the build, but I still think it was better before. I miss toddlers. I'm not unhappy with the career options, BUT I was surprised and disappointed that there were less careers available. That there is a loading screen when visiting a neighbor doesn't really bother me, only because it loads fast, however I did find this strange.
Because of the things I fell in love with in the sims 3, I will still be playing TS3, BUT I already love the sims 4, and am looking forward to how it will change. The only major problem I am currently having has to do with an origin update. After updating, it wouldn't let me play the sims 4, even though origin told me it was update. Had to uninstall and am currently at 92% downloading the sims 4 again, hopefully after it's installed again I will be able to play. Already going through sims4 withdrawals, despite still having the sims 3.
It's the emotions and the sims social interactions that has me hooked in the sims4.
