Summary of Past Sims Basegame vs TS4 Basegame
I take no credit for this list. Someone posted a comment on the Star Wars Gameplay video and it's pretty accurate. Here is a full list of missing content from the Sims 4: Burglars Police officers...

I don't know why people expect the Sims 4 to be the Sims 3 or the Sims 2. It's a different game and things are gonna be different. What's the point of a new installment if its a clone of the previous one?
Could do a reverse and point out how Sims 3 has no gallery, CAS sliders, doesn't allow players to freely travel between worlds, how tons of S4 build mode features aren't there and all the sims have pudding faces, etc etc. They are different games, they have different features and they have different pros and cons.
The whole "Sims 4 bad!" thing is just so boring at this point. Just play the other editions if you get more enjoyment from them.
For me, it's because the little things were included in the other games, so when you pay as much (if not more in this day) for what you assume will be the same amount of content as previous versions, and it's not even close, it feels like compared to the other versions, this version is lacking.
I have always said there are good things about TS4 that are much better than the other versions, but I can say for me personally, if those handful of things had been in the other games, I for sure would not have stayed with TS4.
And, I do play both TS2 & TS3 both, actually.
That's why I said I don't know why they named it TS4, why not "The Sims Next Generation", then nobody is expecting it to be a sequel to the other iterations, but it's own type of game.
