Sims 1: Locked isometric camera (I get it was 2000 but I don't like it) and there was no weekends. I just want to place my TV on a half tile! In build mode I hated the way you needed cheats to place furniture diagonally or off the grid. I thought romance aspiration Sims would be more like a hopeless romantic who wants to find a soulmate, but no, it's about being non-committal and just woohooing with everyone you can and not caring about cheating. Explore and customize every detail from Sims to homesand much more.
I much prefer Sims 3's personality, and would love Sims 4 if the traits were more in-depth and we could pick more of them. Unleash your imagination and create a world of Sims that’s wholly unique. Sims were literally defined by their aspirations. Like I'm a Sagittarius but my Simself's personality in Sims 2 matched with the wrong sign.

Sims 3: The premade pregnancy clothes and the shit that pops up when you first start a save.
