Gameplay

Create-A-Sim

Is pretty good. More gender options, more skin & hair colors (after some time), the ability to drag and pull features instead of using sliders. Only three traits per Sim. In 2021, we finally got the ability to set likes and dislikes for colors, music, and activities. (Also Decor, with Dream Home Decorator)

Building A Home

Build mode is very good. Unfortunately small, uncustomizable worlds.

Living

Er.. you'll need some mods.
