The Sims 4 is imbalanced

Hi,

The Sims 4 is probably the most imbalanced game of the franchise :

  1. Female sims over Male sims
  2. Chores/Work over Entertainment/Hobby
  3. Standard genders over Custom genders (Low quality CAS)
  4. English players (Pronoun) over Non-English players
  5. Lush worlds over Downtown/Desert/Beach/Mountain worlds
  6. North America over Europe/Asia/Africa/South America/Oceania
  7. Sunny day (Festival/Outdoor events) over Rainy/Snowy days
  8. Young Adult sims over Teen/Adult/Elder sims
  9. Houses (buy) over Apartments (rent)
  10. Everyday Life over Vacation/Adventure/Journey
  11. Cooking/Gardening skills over Video Gaming/Programming/Mischief/Comedy/Charisma/Logic skills
  12. Eco-friendly over Industrial
  13. Good over Evil (only Criminal career)
  14. Eternal Summer over Seasons (newer packs ignore Seasons EP)

    1. Though I play favoritism with my main who is a female, I cannot deny the imbalance of male clothing and lifestyle (not that any lifestyle is limited to gender, but the game definitely leans female)—especially to convey different types and themes male fashion and lifestyles, and should be better expressed for sure.
    2. I'd love it if hobbies and activities were better fleshed out. A Sim is more than their career—they should be more their lifestyle and personality. And not having trait/lifestyle based autonomy, and not having more things for a Sim to do besides work, watch TV, listen to music/dance, cook, garden, read and be at the computer—would make one truly feel immersed.
    3. I cannot relate to specifically, but I'd want people to feel represented and that there is diversity for them able to express themselves as Sims—universally!
    4. I only play in English, but have seen these complaints, this really needs updating.
    5. I'd LOVE a compact city world (where literally the lots meet up or are 1-2 tiles (a road or path) away). So we can make tight urban core/city squares. Especially if a Cyberpunk, Steampunk, era and/or regional/culture based one. 
    6. I feel North America is way overly represented, and really anywhere else in the world (or out of this world) would interest me.
    7. I cannot relate to this much, I don't do very many events/festivals (and I only have been playing since L&D) I haven't had a chance to see all the content relating.
    8. I do not care for infants/toddler/children or even teens. But yeah, I feel adults and elders (especially, elders) could use some love.
    9. I haven't had a chance to play much rental gameplays yet (especially For Rent related I think I got that around R&L).
    10. Adventure for sure, it interests me, and I want more adventure worlds, and things to do in them!
    11. I am a confirmed recipe/plant collector, and I can't help but have interest for these. But there is no mistake pretty much all other skills are neglected in comparison.
