Toddlers drinking from the toilet. ?

i must not have played the other games much i don't remember that.

I hated that. ? There's always talk about Sims 2 animations but after a while a lot of them just became annoying. I had so many no autonomous behavior mods in my game. Organized by pack.

That cow mascot knocking on your Sim's door at 3am screaming "Chowla!" just before finals in Sims 3. That was quite annoying.

Oh my llama, you just brought up the repressed memories I had of that miserable cow running around The Sims 2 pulling pranks on everybody. Add THAT to the list.

Sims 2 sims dying the moment when theirvmeter hits zero
Sims 2 personality points .The trait system is way better.

Most Sims 2 stuff packs being less value for your money than Sims 4 kits, even if you don't take inflation into account. Agree about most occults being pointless in the Sims 2. Not being able to multi-task. Having less control over aging.

From Sims 2 (I didn't play sims 1 or 3)

Spend time on a community lot. Go home. No time has passed on home lot.

Townies don't age, so multiple generations of your played families play with the same children in elementary school and date the same teens in high school

You have to waste time playing played sims you're no longer interested in playing, just so they will age

No same-sex marriage, it was just that "commitment ceremony" nonsense

Friends come over to your house, play a musical instrument all night, never say hi or anything, then leave

I could go on. People rave about sims 2 gameplay but there were so many annoyances. These aren't even bugs, these are apparently all by design

I will never miss the disrespectful misrepresentation Ea did of people with African, Asian and/or mixed ethnic heritage in TS2, it always looked to me more like a tasteless mockery than a good representation of people with those roots, if you see Stephen & Wanda Tinker or Mary-Sue Pleasant and compare them with real people you'll see what I'm talking about.

They look a bit sharing, but it dosen't scream disrespect.It was just limited graphics and cas.

Having to care for the décor plants outside the home.
Being restricted to one world unless going on vacation or mods
The heart bed from TS1. I laughed when I saw it in pieces in that new kit.
Townes not aging
Time not moving if you were on a community lot

The music sting when a raccoon showed up in Sims1

I actually never had problems with burglars much, I read somewhere that the lawn flamingo wards them off and it always worked. But the Sims 1 burglar music sting just like the raccoon one... ugh.

People always dying on community lots in ts2. I think I had one lot that was just cursed, someone would always get struck by lightning on it. Haven't had anyone die on a lot in ts4 this whole time.

100000% having to rotate play with households to get everyone to age up. I like that sims 4 gives up the option to have the whole world age up but you CAN still do it the old way if you want.

The Platinum Aspiration from Sims 2 permanently changing that sim's plumbob to platinum so you couldn't tell right away if their needs were low.

Definitely don't miss needing friends for promotions. At least it was HOUSEHOLD friends, so you could have your other sims work on friendships while the employed sim was at work. But I always had my sims pick the least social jobs so they wouldn't need as many friends to get high in the promotion chain.

Very limited color options for clothing from ts1 and ts2! I mean some of the stuff in 4 still doesn't have many swatches, but I feel like most the clothes in 2 only had like 3 swatches. And of course in 1 it was one color per outfit (I think maybe the colors were different if you picked a different skin tone?). People complain about there not being a color wheel in 4 but it's way better than it was in 1 and 2.

@Horrorgirl6 when I created my sims, I had a lot less graphics and experience than them and only had a basegame's bodyshop to make them, but I think my results, not being perfect at all, are a lot better and respectful than theirs, maybe because I gave my chars something that no corporation can give, love.

Images are raw, the only poswtwork I did, was cut them from their wider screenshots.
