I want it because it's the Sims but at the same time, everything that's been taken out of it makes it sound like it would be frustrating to play. They've regressed back to Sims 2 era, in that there is no longer story progression (out-of-household Sims still age, but do not get jobs/married/have kids/etc.), and you can't just walk from lot to lot, if you want to leave your house and visit a neighbor there's a loading screen.
Those are the two biggest issues for me, I don't really care about there not being toddlers (I usually rush my kids through that stage because neediness) and swimming isn't that big of a deal (I'm sure pools will be in the expansion packs, even though they shouldn't be). There's also no buyable/drivable vehicles. I guess with the fact that you're going through a loading screen to get to another lot, you don't really need a car.
I'm also not really into the graphics. And as much as I dig building houses, the lack of customization in that area is also a turn off.
But it's The Sims. So despite all the things wrong, the scale is still pretty balanced in regards to whether I want to buy it or not.
