CaS and BB. When I have a character in mind, I can create them the way I imagine them to be, and even though I don’t build, I can confidently edit a lot and feel like I’m getting what I want.
Art style, to me, is more appealing. Yes, it’s somewhat Pixar, but it’s aged much better than it’s predecessors. And some of the scenery is breathtaking at times.
Multitasking and routing. Sims can eat, carry on a conversation, and watch TV at the same time. You forget how much that adds until you go back and play one of the older titles again. No more waiting for another sim to finish using the stairs before your sim can go up, and I’ve had very few sim killing routing issues.
Free travel between worlds. In spite of the smallness of the individual worlds, TS4s overall world seems bigger and more diverse to me than TS3s huge open worlds that you were locked into. Open neighborhoods would make it just right.
Giving the major supernatural lifestates their own packs, style and worlds is perfect.
The Gallery is super easy to use.
And yes, there are bugs, but I luckily haven’t experienced anything game breaking. To me, even though TS4 has had a longer run, it’s no where near as unstable and bloated as TS3 was toward the end of its run.
