I agree that occults are done best in Sims 4. The power/weaknesses/abilities etc trees mean that not every vampire, werewolf or Spellcaster is the same. Any Sim could learn alchemy in Sims 3, witches just had a slight advantage. Plus there’s the differing levels, meaning that doing stuff like studying vampire lore or practising magic means you become more powerful and unlock more things to do.
Toddlers are also done well, and I like that there are more hairstyle and clothing options for them in CAS. Sims 3 in particular didn’t have much in the way of hairstyles, even with the Store, and the CC options aren’t great (think ridiculously long and shiny hairstyles that no IRL toddler would have). I also do like that they start off being able to walk, and that they can help themselves to adult food and put themselves to bed (which I find useful as I usually play with more than one child in a family at once!)
I also like the huge variety of food dishes there are.
