There is a lot on this list. It looks impressive at first glance.

But most of the stuff is things that I am happy are removed as I didn't like having them in the game, or just things I was uninterested in, so I guess that explains part of why Sims 4 is more enjoyable for me. And of course it doesn't look like they even tried to come up with a list of things Sims 4 DOES have that previous versions don't. Because one could just as easily do that.

Really? What things are you glad aren't in it? Some of them are basic things, like the burglar, police, diving boards, pond tool, car pools and school buses, newspapers, alarm clocks, door bells, normal sized telescope, cuddling, games for kids to play

Believe or not EA .... kids, even in 2020, still ride a schoolbus, and people still get physical copies of the newspaper delivered (my local newspaper's e-version does not have nearly the same amount of content in it), and people still use physical alarm clocks, and doorbells

These are just normal everyday things you'd expect to find in a life sim game to me.

The things off the top of my head I'm glad that are removed are burglars, colour wheel, attraction system, zodiac signs, wants & Fears, cut scenes. I hated those. Then there's a lot of things that I just didn't care one way or another. I do miss the sims 2 animation styles, free babies, and slow dancing. I'm not saying there's nothing from the lists I wouldn't want, but there's a lot from Sims 4 that the other games don't have that are just more important to me (gallery, pregnant sims can wear anything, beautiful art style, world travel etc) and I love that the things above have been removed as they sorta ruin previous versions for me.

Newspapers, etc yeah, we get them where i live too but they just aren't that important to me
