I can't make a waterfall
I can't edit common areas on the map
My Sims can't walk across the street without a loading screen
I can't give my furnishings a unique look
My Sims can't have a long term meaningful relationship without a mod
My Sims can't now, and maybe never, have a supernatural as a friend
.....I could keep going but you get the idea.
Agreed with all of the above plus ...
* Once you get the hang of how the room coding affects builds, build mode is very nice in 4
however I've chosen to stay with 3 because in addition to what was mentioned above ...
* growing a family for a legacy feels more complete with toddlers
* editing terrain/landscaping beyond the odd plant/pond can make or break a build
* being able to casT clothes/furniture to create a certain look
* matching furnishings/sets for cohesive looks
* townies don't vanish into thin air within a sim hour of meeting them (Nothing brings out the grrrr more than having your sim meet the perfect match only to have them vanish from the known people panel within the few sim hours they're at work)
* game play, despite the glitches, is more rounded
* (this one is coming from my deviant side ) it's easier to knock off sims if wanted/needed
ps, lastly 3 is less cartooney than 4; really can't stand the cartoon world environment they created for 4

I really like the Sims 4, the sims are lovely and I adore the comic look. But I miss the toddlers and the open world. Therefore I would vote for the Sims 3.
Off topic: Since this is my umpteen time posting in this type of topic, I am going to post yet another Luke Evans gif:

Create-a-Sim is nice in the Sims 4, but I miss the ability to customize the color or patterns of clothing, hair, and accessories like in the Sims 3 CAS. I do miss the open world feature, which was really nice in the Sims 3 since you didn't have to go through load screens every time you change lots.
Sims 4 cas is the best I have seen in The sims. But a con is that I can't change the colors of clothing items. I have to work with what is already there. At the end of day a person should play the game they like.
I prefer 4 but 3 still has that advantage.
The skins have been more my-style. I never really found much that I liked in the Sims 3 cc shops.
