I've been playing the Sims 3 a bit lately and for me I'm finding that the sims seem way less lively than the sims in the Sims 4 are socially. I've only played for a few weeks and with one family though so it could possibly be their traits that make it seem this way. My two sims never seem to engage in conversations with each other autonomously despite living in the same house, being married and having children together. The general autonomy is far better in the Sims 3 though in the activities they choose to do. They sit to watch TV, they take good care of their young children and various other things that Sims 4 sims are to dumb to do.
From The Sims 1 to The Sims 3 the Sims in a house do engage in autonomous conversations with each other while they are doing other interactions, those aren't queued interactions, the Sims just do them automatically and thay may gain or lose Relationship from them, you have to pay attention to the individual Sims to notice those things though.
That to me is the biggest difference of the previous iterations, the animations in the game actually do provide information about what's happening instead of having to look at the HUD to understand how your Sims are doing.
