    Things I Miss:

    -Seasons
    -Everything about World Adventures
    -The Ghost Hunting Career
    -Sculpting/Inventing
    -Dumpster Diving
    -Having to Learn Recipes in Order to Cook Them
    -Skills having extra achievements/challenges attached to them (ie if you did so many certain repairs in the handiness skill, a certain number of statues in the sculpting skill, ect)
    -Being able to see a list of all the books your sim has written/being able to reorder them
    -More stuff for Teens to do. (Mostly I miss having prom & graduation)

    -Fears
    -Randomized Lifetime Wishes. (Ideally this would be set up with one major lifetime wish that you can't opt out of that gives massive amount of rewards but then they had a bunch of sub aspirations like they currently have that you can switch between at will)

    You can make a bookstore and have your sims go there to buy their books instead of using the bookcase :)

    Requires GTW though so I know what you mean.

    Where is the thread about things we don't miss. For me Crumblebottom is definately one of them. We HAVE cops and burglars and alarm clocks.

    Uhhh? I am going to ignore that and assume you were day-dreaming :3

    - CASt
    - Terrain editing
    - Restaurants
    - Pets
    - Playing catch
    - Swingsets
    - Sprinklers
    - The neurotic trait (and several others)
    - Sending my sims to sporting events/concerts, etc.

    - In general, being able to send a sim somewhere outside of the house without loading a lot (other than work or school, obvs). I don't mean open world, I mean like just being able to click a destination to send my sim to and then just returning to my household from the map. (The console versions of TS3 were not open world and could do this.) It's nice just to get them out of the way for a moment without having to load another lot.

    Where to start... I could write the Bible easier- sigh- but I for sure miss CASt and Open World.

    Supernaturals
    Dogs (the other pets too I guess but mainly dogs because dogs are awesome :p )
    Seasons
    Open world and vehicles (but not the ridiculous lag caused by poor routing in the worlds)
    Oh yeah, some of the funny games/interactions such as pillow fighting in sims 3 or red hands from sims 2.

    There's a lot of things I miss, but to keep the list shorter I'm just going to list things I really need to have back in order to truly love Sims 4. The other things I could do without as long as we get enough interesting stuff to replace them.

    -Supernatural lifestates, mainly vampires and witches. The rest I could take or leave.
    -fears
    - Sims having interests so they don't always have good conversations with everyone
    - Sims reacting to enemies properly
    - Chemistry and attraction system
    - Zodiac signs
    - Pets
    - Toddlers
    - Water activities like boats, surfing, and swimming in the ocean
    - The aspiration meter and the platinum plumbob
    - the sims 1 style of dark humor
    - Some careers like Paranormal, Politics, Journalism, Dancer, etc...
    - University
    - Teens having more activities specific to teens
    - Cemeteries

    traits that really matter

    whims, dreams, wishes which matter & are related to the sims' traits

    a life time wish

    the townhall marking the center of a city

    at least rabbit holes rendering the collection of streets & houses to an actual city

    all houses accessible & rebuildable

    movable & placeable lots

    crossword puzzles in the newspapers which enable the sim to train the logic skill without the need to buy anything or search for a chess table

    the way sims became ill in TS2 & even could die from it if i didn't take care of the sim

    apartments working like in TS2

    OFB style businesses, also on home lots

    i miss even the grumpy TS1 sims which needed an hour to get out of bed if i woke them up too early & they were not rested enough

    & i miss the voices from TS1 & TS2



    many more things which others have already listed
    those are so many great things which could be there :hushed:




    i won't be participating in the forums & the gallery anymore - thanks EA

    Did someone say in-game neighborhood creation tools yet? Because that's what I miss the most. :'(

    And I'm talking terrain tools and all the other stuff ala Sims 2/3. I am not interested in some new "streamlined" tool with 2 templates that I can't edit without reprogramming the entire game and 4 tree options that I'll never want to use because they are only available in neon colors. I want the good stuff.

    See that crying smiley up there, Maxis Gurus or whoever??! It's heartbreaking to see someone use the saddest smiley and I chose it because that's how much I miss neighborhood creation. So do the right thing and I'll give you some of my money.

    • body hair
    • Piercings (i cant even remember if they were in the previous games, i just want them)
    • that cute little 'dance-while-standing-on-feet' thing a child could do with their parent in TS2
    • firefighters, police, social workers... basically a bunch of npcs :c
    • cuddling while sleeping
    • more psychical activities

    There is a bunch of things i miss, but these were the only thing I could remember haha

    I really miss the color wheel and having unique teens. I wish they were more awkward and gangly like in Sims 3. And had more teen interactions.

    I miss
    - Oceans you can swim in
    - Grocery and clothes shopping
    - Newspapers (Alot of people don't though)
    - Dating website
    - Apartments
    - Witches
    - Restaurants

    There's more but I can't think of them at this moment. Hopefully we'll get some of these things in the future and hey hopefully some brand new stuff as well something we can put on future lists :smiley:
  • LoveMcQueen5683LoveMcQueen5683 Posts: 3,689 Member
    I've bolded things that were in past base games on the list on the 1st page. I most likely missed some and made mistakes so any help is appreciated,

    Threads like this start making me really miss Sims 3 then I go hop on over the the "What we don't miss" thread and that feeling fades right off.
  • simgirl1010simgirl1010 Posts: 35,707 Member
    A lot of the stuff I miss is mainly from the original game since I still play 2 and 3.

    The cake dancers
    Animal care and circus careers
    The sushi cart
    The smoothie stand
    The butter-churn
    Spinning wheel

  • HermitgirlHermitgirl Posts: 8,825 Member
    I miss being able to make wine from sims 1, the churn and the spinning wheel too and beehives. I miss Servo too... Bonehilda not so much.
