The Sims 4 is my favourite all time game, it has to be, I have literally spent more time playing it than any other game since I discovered PC gaming back in 1993. I love the quirkiness and building tools of the game. The graphics are incredible, even though the game is now nearly 7 years old and hold up well.
There are areas I wish were a little different, the main being the sims feel too isolated. They're very unaware of actions of other sims behaviour even when actions are right in front of them. Even the smaller details, such as sims moving about and cuddling while asleep. They did those things in previous games, but not in 4. Not a deal breaker, but still missed.
Would love to see werewolves added to the game... just putting it out there.
I also realise that life simulations should really be an entire genre of games, not just one game and this is not EA's issue if they're the only ones interested in catering to this market (with only one exception which is years away from completion). I don't think that fact is acknowledged nearly enough. One game will never please everyone no matter how good it is.
