Thank you to Bflury on TS3 Forums for organizing this list! I fixed a lot of spelling/grammar/writing issues for you guys…enjoy!
Everything below has been 100% confirmed, excluding the final category.
This is a list of features that were COMPLETELY CUT or REDUCED from previous iterations of The Sims. It DOES NOT include missing expansion pack content that should be base by now (i.e. Weather) or new features promised for Sims 4 that were later cut (i.e. Woohoo Skill).
Lastly, it is important to understand that much of this content will NEVER be in The Sims 4. Things like Create a Style are not compatible with the game engine, and thus cannot be added in future updates or expansions.
MAJOR MISSING FEATURES THAT WERE IN TS3:
No create a style (CAST) - NOT possible in future expansions (x) No modifications to world/public spaces - The park in the demo is a mix of a community lot and public space (x1) (x2) No “normal” careers - Law enforcement, Medical, Business, etc. were removed (x) No open world - You must incur a loading screen between each active lot; each neighborhood has 1-5 lots total (x1) (x2) No pools (x) No terrain tools other than paint; everything is perfectly flat (x) No story progression - Sims in the neighborhood age, but do not have children, get jobs, move, get married…etc. without player intervention (x) No toddlers (x) No way to create/place new lots - And you only have 2 empty ones at the start of the game!

Да ли сте ви људи свијесни да ће они од основних ствари из ранијих дијелова правити експанзије за четворку. Полако ћеш куповати све оно што си већ имао у основном Симс 2 пакету.
Зашто је ова тема потпуно затајила? Није ми јасно. Јел људи баш толико мрзе Симс 4 да не желе више да причају о њему? Мени се свиђа. Није напредан као тројка, али ће бити када буду додали све што фали у 15-ак додатака. Ипак сам престао да га играм јер ми одузима много времена. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpx72bF4GFY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rinBmBen2Iw - Одлично су кренули. Уз све ово, додали су бесплатне експанзије са базенима, духовима...

Odgovorio si samom sebi na pitanje zašto ne igraju. Realno, zasto bi iko kupovao igru koja nudi daleko manje sadržaja nego svi njeni prethodnici? Nebitno da li ce je kasnije popuniti stvarima, igra je na početku prodaje bila kost i koža, nije imala ni jedan unikatan segment zbog čega bi opravdala svoju cenu.
nije sims igrica (barem meni) koji mozes dugo dugo da igras. osim ako je ne volis mnogo. meni se svidja sims, ali ne toliko da bih ga igrao non stop. Dvojku sam igrao dosta, al opet u nekom periodu od mesec dva dana. pa je onda obrisem , pa posle 6 meseci instaliram i opet cepam mesec dva. tako isto trojku i cetvorku.
posle odredjenog vremena postane monotona i dosadna.mnogo cekanja
Simsi su igra koja ti nehotično pruža nevjerovatne mogućnosti, kao naprimjer ovu
Citat
So I started my game with one single male sim. He has been abducted numerous times which has resulted in three lovely alien children.
The oldest son became a young adult and was abducted and impregnated as well. I didn't mind until after having the baby and looking in the family tree i saw that the same alien (pollination technician #3) is listed as mother for both. On top of that it tells me that the male sim (who just gave birth) is the babies brother. And the other two children (which should be the babies aunt and uncle) are its half-brother and half-sister.
Its happened twice to me now, and both times ive sent the baby back into space... because ew.
