This is a Comparison of Base Games right? Now where is the Category for Base Game Features included in The Sims 4 but not in The Sims 2 or The Sims 3? It does not seem fair as in game development some features are cut in exchange of new content.

This is a much more better comparison to be honest

Yes but that doesn't break down all of the little details that were in both games and not in TS4. I didn't make the list, if there had been a side by side with all of TS4's basegame features vs the other iterations, I would have gladly put it down.

I honestly didn't remember quite a lot of the little things that were missing. I just thought it was interesting and I'd be really interested in seeing the list in reverse actually if someone took the time to do that.

I don't have time to really look through and break it down (single parenting homeschooling their kid leaves very little time to even play let alone analyse it and look for items hahaha I have only played about an hour since the pandemic started since normally i'd play at work)

But a few I can think of from Sims 4 that aren't in at least one (if not both) of the other games off the top of my head would be

Pregnant sims can wear any outfit instead of a few mat. clothing
Travel between worlds
Gallery
Calories in Foods that effect sims weight
postcards exchange(One of my fav things in the game haha! Ilove them)
breastfeeding
Emotions
teen woohoo
the stair tool
Add 5 outfits for each category (I think earlier versions only had up to 3?)

Also has improved toddlers, cas, build mode, UI, and art style though these may be subjective it seems most people agree with it.

anyways, now my kid is calling haha, I don't have time to go through and check actual item items like the llist of newspapers etc.
The improved toddlers is a big one for my personal enjoyment as tots are my fav stage to play haha! Maybe others can continue the list or break it down like Sims 4 not in both other games, not in sims 3 and not in sims 2 like the other lists

That's a great list so far!

I agree the maternity clothes thing is awesome!
I don't really use the gallery but isn't that sorta like the exchange was for TS3?
The stair tool is awesome, but to be fair, that didn't come "with" the basegame, that got added to the basegame last year.
The Postcard exchange is new to me, is that like physical postcards you snail mail or like e-cards. (The only reason I'm asking is because that seems so old school, and TS4 to me seems like they want everything to be trendy and new age electronic, since the cell phone is glued to our sims.)
I do like the ability to add 5 outfits per category tho.
Traveling between worlds is also great, but with that it also means you can't even walk to your neighbors house without a loading screen.

The bold part would be great if others thought of more to add to the TS4 side!
