Things from older Sim Generation you DO NOT miss

There's a current post by @Smellincoffee on Details from older games you miss which is always a fun discussion to have.

But what are the things from older generations you definitely DO NOT miss and don't ever want to return, you know just so EA doesn't get the wrong idea...

I'm thinking

  • being locked within a world is a feature I don't want to return to. I love that my sims can travel to all worlds


Ps. sorry for snatching the idea, but I'm too curious, also because I don't seem to remember too much myself

    Poor optimisation, it is the only thing Sims 4 does better than previous games and why I play it instead of those.

    Sims 1,2 and 3 all run terribly once you install a few expansion packs.


    This has always been dependent on your computer. Most issues I had disappeared with newer machines, at least until the games themselves became outdated.

    My son got me Castaway Stories for Christmas, and although I thoroughly enjoyed playing it again, there were a lot of little things I certainly didn't miss dealing with.

    In freeplay the game generated two of every Sim with the same name because the townie name pool is tiny. Because the terrain is mountainous, lots are difficult to fully build on, and there's no grabbing and dragging if you put a wall in the wrong spot. The music selection in build/buy was also tiny, even compared to regular Sims 2. Lastly, there's simply not much to do in freeplay.

    And controversial I know but the colour wheel. I hate it haha. I like the swatches much better


    yeah ts3 default swatches were so bad that you had to pretty much colour wheel everything and it was so tedious that I hated it

    also sometimes the colours would look all different in cas and live mode and drive me crazy jumping back and forth trying to get it right
