The art style is the best it’s been with TS4, with the best looking sims, CAS is also the most versatile it’s been, minus the create a style feature obviously. But I honestly didn’t even buy or play TS3 because of the ”art style” (or lack of), so that’s a fair trade for me.
I think the semi open neighbourhoods were also a good trade off with the open world from TS3. Nice loading times and neighbourhood activity. It would be perfect if we could knock on the doors of the other houses without a loading screen though, wink wink Sims team ;)
I also love the slightly more far fetched elements and items like the giant microscope, the talking toilet, the cow plant, Strangerville.. I appreciate the cartoon/quirkiness of the sims reality, I just wish they leaned into it a little more with TS4..
