I think once we get pools and toddlers a lot of the hate will disappear. TS4 is a different game, I think it will just take people time to get used to playing without a fully open world/CASt.
Has it been confirmed if Sims can serve food again? It was so annoying that my Sims could never eat together properly in TS3 because they all had to get a plate from the counter one by one. We saw Bella serving dinner in the build mode trailer, I really hope it wasn't staged
