Why does the Sims 4 suck so much?

@Dequan_Gambrell, many of the things you want in the game actually are in the game if you bother to get the Expansion Packs! So, The Sims 4 does have :
family trees
swing sets
illnesses
hospitals
bugs/rodents
ghosts
different elevations
way more than 3 books!!!
many empty lots in New Crest (that is all New Crest is!)
the ability to go to work with your Sims in 4 different careers (Police Detective, Doctor, Scientist, and Veterinarian)
and even decorative cars (just enlarge the toy/model cars with keyboard commands)
😉
And you don't have a Comfort Need anymore because this is taken care of with moodlets. Get enough bad moodlets and your Sims will be uncomfortable, and you will need to find ways to fix their uncomfortable mood. It isn't in the need panel, just in the mood panel! 😎
As for some of the other things you requested such as the color wheel (Create A STyle/CASt) that was left out because it ground many people's games to a halt! 😮 What is the use of a tool (no matter how wonderful it is) if you can't play your game because of it. 😞 The same goes for why they didn't make TS4 with an open world like they tried out in TS3. Great in theory, but almost unworkable for a great many people in reality.
If you prefer TS3, then you are free to play that to your heart's content! 🙂
Finally, it is against the rules here to type in all caps because it is viewed as shouting. I understand your passion on this issue, but you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar! 😉
Happy Simming!
Thank you so much for pointing out that some things aren't in this Sims 4 that were in Sims 3 because not everyone has, or can afford, a computer that can accommodate them. When I was working and had actual money coming in I had a top line (for 15 or so years ago) gaming computer desktop that could handle Sims 3 with ease. I LOVED Sims 3. But when the kids filled my computer with viruses and I was forced to put the game on my laptop (which is a good laptop but not for gaming) because I'm disabled and don't have an income to support a new expensive computer my play experience was greatly diminished. It was constantly freezing and crashing. So I'm thrilled that Sims 4 is taking us into account.
I also feel like everyone forgets everything we had in Sims 3 at the end was not base game. Most gameplay and content (it seems to me) gets added in various packs over time. it'd be nice to get it all at once but it'd also be extremely expensive and again, price people like me out of the game. I can manage $50 here and there, I can't buy a game that costs several hundred upfront though.
That said there are things I miss. I liked that when a sim wrote a book they then had a copy of the book in their bookshelves. I liked being able to hire a nanny on a scheduled basis that showed up every time your sim went to work. On the other hand I like moods and aspirations better in 4. I also like that there are more interactions (not a lot but some at least) between toddlers.
