? Wow. I didn’t play much TS3 but this list really puts in perspective how lacking TS4 and its expansions have been.

Lol TS3 was a game in which you needed to buy Generations just to have wedding cakes and wedding arches, something TS4 had in the base game since day 1.

I would prefer life stages too be updated via patch than a pack, it would add more meat too the bare bones of a base game, I personally dont think a full blown pack is necessary, update babies a bit, toddlers and kids are perfect in the sims 4 with the parenthood pack, nothing that a hobbies pack wouldn't solve too add more stuff too do for them, teens updated a bit, young adults perfect nothing that a wedding and romance pack wouldn't solve, update adults too have midlife crisis, add an optional walking stick for elders, a pram (stroller), graveyard should be base game lots aswell, I would say it what would be very good game packs that I listed, a hobbies pack would give all life stages something too do bands etc, and weddings and romance would add more venues too go on dates and add more too weddings aswell, being able too gift heart shaped chocolates for an example and slow dancing, those 2 packs would also add alot of venues, something that the sims 4 also needs, cinema, a proper wedding venue, golf course, band gigs, a tattoo and salon studio, more kids play park items, play pen and dress up, toy cooker for our young chefs, ballet studio etc the list could go on

Sequel is supposed to have at least a previous feature of the prequel but instead they choose to remove the fan favorite features from the previous game.

Not adding dog houses because it's cruel, lolwhat

I forgot that Generations was also the pack that introduced spiral stairs, bunkbeds, and body hair to TS3.

It's from TS3.

LOL don't think we want a discussion about what TS4 had and didn't have in the base game, because I think that could get pretty ugly. Still recall the huge list of missing features that kept me from buying in the beginning.

Alot has since been added back, but every released DLC pack that has come out since has totally lacked compared to previous versions of the game, so there is also that.

I know right?

At least the Sims 3 released with all it's life stages in the base game unlike the Sims 4 which had missing toddlers at the release and for a long time afterwards. The only reason we got this life stage at all in TS4 was cause so many people were upset about it and I'm still salty about it.

Generations is my favorite sims 3 pack. I think Parenthood for sims 4 is supposed to be like that pack. I'm four generations into my legacy and my couple in my avi are expecting twin girls! The male's aunt and uncle- his mother's siblings- were the first twins born into my legacy.

I keep seeing people post about wanting generations and that it's being hinted at in a future pack, but no one is explaining what it is. Anyone want to tell me?

It's a pack that gave new interactions, and a few new things for the children to do. I was dissatisfied with it, myself. I find Parenthood way better, as it gives us more control parent to child, in guiding how they turn out.

Yes, and if you want to get technical, Sims 4 children are basically smaller adults, and teens are barely distinguishable from adults.
