Hi Sims Team, hopefully you've gotten some good responses so far! I've been around since The Sims was released so I'm a long time fan :)
I'll keep it short:
1. The lack of depth in gameplay can be summed up as a lack of consequences. Chance cards almost always just do a slight gain/loss in job performance, vs. them getting demoted or fired like The Sims 2. If my Sim gets caught cheating by a partner you can smooth over their relationship very quickly.
2. Everything is very easy. I can become rich extremely quickly, I can make friends extremely easily. I wish this generation felt more challenging.
3. Lack of play testing before releasing packs. Please test them with all packs enabled, not just the new pack + base game.
I wish you all the best on your future work!
