What do you miss most?

Are you asking what we miss most from Sims 3?

If so, for me it would be the color wheel.

Open world, cars and bands.

Aaaand....CAW.

I miss not having loading screens. I almost never leave my house. I wish that the little neighborhood that you live in was at least open. It's so dead not seeing people in their yards or homes doing stuff. Or not being able to go to the park without a loading screen.

How my Sim acted autonomsly and according to his personality... How only my slob sims could take a quick shower in the sink, how he would never make the bed or the dishes

How it was harder to form a relationship if they had opposite traits or how you could find out what other traits an NPC had. Was actually difficult and the reward to find it out quicker made sense.


How a heavy sleeper would never wake from noises and light sleeper always. Or how you could go to therapy and breath in a bag if you gave your sim the unstable trait. How you could check the stove for safety if your sim was erratic? Or how your Sim would stop his tasks that you gave him because he was absent minded.

Things like that were cute.

The amount of traits and the lifetime wishes, that were huge open life aspirations.

Hmm honestly I miss the aspirations from sims 3 or lifetime wishes I think they were called. I just felt like they were deeper and took more effort than many sims 4 aspirations.

I also kind of miss the color wheel (not the create a pattern or whatever it was called). It was nice being able to pick colors of items, clothes and hair. I hope we one day get more hair color options in sims 4.

I miss the nectar maker, the Showtime careers and create-a-style. It's hard to say what I miss, though, because I haven't played the Sims 3 in years.

About Sims 3? SO MUCH! Open world, cars, garage doors, spiral stairs, the cool gothic gable roof decorations, the futuristic decor, and the list goes on.

The main thing though, is how personable the sims felt. They actually felt like people, not just a semi-controlled bot working toward an ambition. Sims got out and just walked around, meeting other sims at random. Not like at a predesigned venue where the clientele could be predictable. I don't know, the whole atmosphere of 3 was different.

I think the sterility of 4 is why I mostly build now. But even that's on pause until some things improve and bugs get fixed.

For me probably the quests Sims 3 has. I'm not that imaginative with gameplay and I get bored of standard gameplay sometimes and the quests really get me back into playing the game. Also rabbitholes, I love sending my sim to them and having a physical place where my sim works rather than them just disappearing for the day, and they make the world more interesting. Random one but I also miss the all in one bathroom, it was great for adding extra bathrooms to small houses.

What I don't miss though is the emptiness of it. It's so nice to go to bars and actually have more than 2 sims there, or to visit someones house and actually have them in. Also I miss the emotions system when I'm playing 3, I like them having actual moods rather than just happy and not happy.

All the little details that made sims appear more human such as cuddling on a couch or in bed, slow dancing, the way they would react to other sims actions. In the Sims 4 sims don't even react to being cheated on.

Realistic interactions like when sims would cook and it looked more realistic. In the Sims 4 my sims have bowls spinning around in the air, ingredients flying all over the place they throw knives around like it's some kind of circus show they're putting on.

Children that were actually like children. They had games they could play together and a good selection of items specially designed for them. In the Sims 4 children are like mini adults with school and chores. They have barely anything that adds game play specifically for them, they can't even play games together, it's just sad really.

Real babies. I hate hate hate object babies. The actual fact that they aren't sims bothers me so much.
