Rather than cut out some features completely, compromise and meet halfway. The best thing about Sims 3 was it's customization - we had fully open worlds and colors and pattern choices we could choose anything we wanted. Unfortunately due to the stress this put on the game's performance, it was also the worst thing.
So when Sims 4 came along, what happened? They gave us smaller worlds (even if all worlds are interconnected now...different than Sims3), no open world/neighborhoods at all, and no ability to choose any colors or patterns other than what EA decided for us.
Sims 5 should meet halfway. Slightly larger worlds than 4 but no where near as large as 3. Open neighborhoods, 5-10 lots apiece, not the 100+ you could have in Sims 3. At least give us a color palette we can choose some basic colors on our own - if we want a room to have everything blue, so be it rather than 9 out of 12 things having a blue tinge and the other 3 sticking out like a sore thumb.
Include the basics - things they think aren't basics were proven to be with Sims 3. While they added pools and basements on their own rather quickly, it took two years to get toddlers. Babies are still treated more like objects than Sims. make sure all those stages of life have actual character.
I'd like to say also add basic pets and weather to the base game, but those are probably the packs that have sold the best - as such what they've "learned" from Sims 3 and 4 is to NOT include them in the base game as we'll buy them anyways.
