1. Gameplay-I agree with some that operating sims in gameplay is too difficult. The player sims never naturally act upon what is suppose to be their traits or whims. For example, it would also help if they naturally change into the many clothes you have picked out for them and if they would perform a variety of actions (aside from going to work) on their own. Instead, of the sims automatically playing on the computer all day, talking to plants, and reading book after book. They need to be more autonomous.
2. Social events in the game tend to be difficult or take too long to complete. Even more annoying, when Sims never sit at the same time in an audience like in Get Famous award ceremony or at a wedding ceremony.
3. Also, during gameplay: The NPC's and player sims sometimes dress horribly at festivals in the game (or just walking around) and never in the outfits you have chosen for them or just in weird, unmatched clothes, and oftentimes, the spawned npc's appear unnaturally weird with like real dark skin but straight super blonde or white hair which is completely unreal looking and they rarely have American sounding names. Aside from the Sulani or game pack related sims where the names seem suitable, the majority have strictly Asian names.
4. The voting process for new packs seems lopsided or doesn't reflect what majority of players actually want. For ex. the Knitting pack.
5. Bugs and complaints take too long to be addressed. Players start to feel ignored by the company. As if they don't care about them enjoying their experience with this game.
6. Lastly, this forum would be better if like many others have agreed about, players could have more control over their own discussion threads or at least being able to mute someone who post negative comments or replies directly to them like some other sites. That should also make it easier for moderators in general and especially, a few moderators who tend to get emotionally caught up and biased themselves when attempting to moderate a topic discussion that has went awry due to a few bad actors.
7. Thanks for giving us this opportunity to give feedback. I do hope it is actually read.
