Compared to the previous games including the console versions, The Sims 4 has improved :
- CAS
- Build/Buy Mode
- Context feature
- And bring to Console players :
- Total freedom
- Content (Packs)
But at the same time The Sims 4 has less :
- Live Mode gameplay
- Lore (local neighborhood drama)
- Fun special NPC : People will still want to bring back Miss Crumplebottom but nobody will remember Kyle Kyleson or Trashley in 10 years.
- And Console players have lost gameplay :
- Fun mini-games
- Playable Story
In Saints Row 2, I liked the mini-games like Streaking or Insurance Fraud, I think The Sims style shouldn't be used for 100% of the activities.
