What is still missing for you?
With only three expansions out, there are a lot of features that are still sure to come. But what features still feel "missing" for you that you would have liked to see in the base game or by this poi...

I would like to see substance.
You can have a pretty world, pretty characters, pretty objects, and even pretty animations.
But NONE of it matters if there's no substance to go along with it.
I get it, The Sims is a game where you get to be the all knowing deity, observing your sims from afar, watching and controlling their every move.
But who knew that playing god in this game can be that boring?
Point: I want to be the one interacting with other Sims. I want to be the one making friendships and discovering secrets. I want to be the one to explore the world. Watching my Sim do it just takes the fun out of it.
The BEST comparison I can give you to what I want in the Sims 4, is by going back to The Sims Bustin' Out, The Urbz Sims in the City, and The Sims 2 for the GameBoy Advance.
In those games, you weren't the casual observer from afar -- you were right there in the center of the action. You got to know characters and establish real connections. You got to explore environments and discover their history and secrets. Most of all, it was YOU doing it.
If you would like to learn more about what I mean, check out my profile and look at my Sims: Story Mode post. I'm really serious about The Sims 4 having a story mode of some kind.
In fact, the story mode I am looking for would perfectly fit the creative minds of the people that play The Sims 4.
How would you like it if you could make your own story for players to check out and download from the gallery? Perhaps you want to create an episodic reality TV show with choices? Or maybe you want to fool around with a "get to the bathroom" mini story.
The Sims 4: Story Mode will add substance to the void. It will add a whole new layer to a decades old game that will revolutionize the Sims that we know forever.
