No terrain tools:
If you want to simulate your Sim walking down a hill then tilt your monitor down as he walks down the "hill." Same for when he goes back up that "hill", only you know, in reverse; tilt the monitor up. This is actually better than previous Sims games because now you can simulate your Sim falling down a hole by simply pushing your monitor off your desk. Realism!
Someone make one up for terrain tools, coz I got nothin'.
Terrain tools?
Step one: Take a photo of your finished lot.
Step two: Photoshop it so it looks like there are hills, valleys...ponds, you name it.
Step three: Build a square around your entire lot using walls.
Step four: Create a wallpaper recolor using your photoshopped image--be creative!
Step five: Upload the wallpaper recolor to your game.
Step six: Apply your new wallpaper to the backdrop you've created around your lot using walls.
Step seven: Enjoy!
> No open world: > When you have a Sim visit another lot load up a sound track of a car accelerating and driving down a road then close your eyes and imagine your Sim is driving to their destination in an open world. Hey! This could help cope with no cars as well! Twofer!
Miss dealing your sims having acne?
Rub bacon fat all over your face and then you can deal with your acne!
or
Miss the experience of the Repo Man?
Do not pay your sims' bills and when their power or water gets shut off, delete your Sim's toilet!
Lastly, following that and keeping with the Roleplaying theme:
Miss the experience of being burgled?
In the middle of the night, roll a d20- Under 10? You have been burgled! Then roll another d20- Over 10? You beat up the Burglar! Under 10? The Burglar successfully burgled your house, delete 1d4 items from your house!
“It’s very dangerous,” she said, “falling in love with someone’s flaws.”
Can't move babies away from their bassinet? Just buy a doll in game and whenever you want to take the baby to another room just put the doll in your Sim's inventory and when they reach their destination put the baby on the ground. Never have to worry about leaving your baby in their bassinet ever again!

Although technically we don't know if burglars aren't in Sims 4 I'll add it to the list so people can be prepared for the worst.

Oh yeah, I know, I have just seen no less than 1 million people complain about it! So I figured it might be relevant!
I was mostly going off that one list of doom and gloom! lol!

You're just looking out for your fellow Simmers. That's very admirable

Loading screens:
Note the time on your computer at the start of a loading screen. When the loading screen has finished simply set the time on your computer back to what it was when the loading screen started. Viola! Loading screens are now instantaneous!
To help cope with the, ahem, "loss", of certain features in Sims 4 here are some tips to help smooth the transition:
No family trees:
Get some good ol' fashioned graph paper and graph out that family tree yourself!
No toddlers:
Just pretend the first 3 days of the child's life they are a toddler. Don't let them go to school, have an adult Sim talk to them a lot to pretend they are teaching them to talk, have an adult Sim walk side by side with them a lot to pretend they are teaching them to walk. The possibilities are literally endless.
No pools:
Have your Sim take a bath over and over again to simulate the Sim swimming.
No open world:
When you have a Sim visit another lot load up a sound track of a car accelerating and driving down a road then close your eyes and imagine your Sim is driving to their destination in an open world. Hey! This could help cope with no cars as well! Twofer!
Well, those are all the tips I have for now. Feel free to share your tips to help the Sims community!
Yeah, and don't worry about the lack of CASt or colorwheel. You can just get out your magic markers and change the color right on your computer screen.
Sad that there is no newspaper anymore?
Dump some trash next to your front door every day and then have your sim clean it up right away, like the old times!
No favorite color:
Just dress your Sim in only red or only blue (etc) so you can pretend that's their favorite color!
No favorite food:
Have your Sim only eat one particular kind of food. You can thank me later.
No zodiac sign:
This one is easy actually. Take Taurus for example; just pretend your Sim is a Taurus and make them always act stubborn and bullheaded. You can even find a nice site with daily horoscopes so you can see how your Sim should act that day and how they should interact with other Sims depending on the signs you mentally assigned to them.
Also, if you don't like the look of the new action que--just stick a row of post-its across the top left of your monitor--with your sims actions written on them
No basements:
This one is a no brainer. Simply go to another lot and build a house on that top and just pretend that's really a basement, then have your Sim move back and forth between lots whenever you want to visit the basement. This can be tricky though! Since it's a basement you have to pretend the top floor of the house is the first floor of the basement.

Surely you jest sir. Because this is exactly what most will have to do.

Would I jest you?
Pancake bunny has made an appearance!
Life is all about pretending.
Seriously? Have you SEEN some of the Sims people make? You can most certainly still have aliens in Sims 4.
Not nice. That's just the way I look.
I apologize...I meant...those...other...Sims...hi...
