The thing is they will not give us what we want as there are enough Simmers enjoying pure set dressing, which is also so much cheaper to create.
Builders are flooding the internet with gorgeous content and the quicker EA get that stuff out the more amazing builds can be seen on YouTube, ..., advertising the game for EA at hardly any cost.
Simmers enjoying live mode are no longer the target audience with TS4. I sometimes feel guilty of that as I myself did hardly play TS3 because I thought the Sims to be ugly. TS3 was rich in gameplay and I wish we could get that back in TS4. But I do not believe we will.
