Gameplay:
Gameplay is boring and empty with little to no consequence. All sims, regardless of traits or occupation, feel the same. There is almost no incentive to play. Coming home injured from a team event is nice, but we need more things like this. Where's falling down the stairs? For that matter, why not have traumatic events automatically change a trait! Athletic? Break your leg more than once? Dang, that trait just got changed to "loves the indoors!" The point is, good or bad, stuff happens, and people change over time. Traits have little impact and are too static. We also need more sots for them. If I tried to define myself with only three static traits, I'd be a boring person too.
Build:
I've presently stopped building. There are too many bugs. Workarounds are often convoluted and non-consistent. Please fix platforms. stairs, and open balconies. Please fix the inability to place certain objects on diagonal walls (we used to be able to). Please fix inconsistent roof clipping and make seams between roof pieces consistent. Make curtains with floor tiles assignments overlap with other objects. Fix the "cannot place bush near column" errors.
Botton Line:
You keep adding new things to the game that end up breaking older things, or introduce new problems, but seldom go back and fix anything. I'd be willing to go for years without new content if you'd JUST FIX WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE!
