"The Sims 4 does not feel alive; the world never progresses and it's always the same old world unless you go out of your way to control everything. They need to make the world alive, the world should change without out us stepping in to force it." by Zazuban

"Man I miss story progression, and when actions like cheating had real consequences." by La Maci

"I think you spoke for everyone. I love playing the Sims 4 because the graphics are so great but I miss the story progression of Sims 3. It was also cool to see sims taking the family out to the different lots. The toddlers and children were always out. I feel that part is lacking and you don't see life going on outside your own taking place.
I think it would be nice to have to work more for that friendship/love relationship and have more drama happening in the game that we didn't have to make happen. I don't even see alien abductions happen much and male sims getting pregnant. To be honest, I can't even remember seeing an alien walking around and I start a lot of new games." by Lori Horta

"This is honestly my biggest problem with the Sims 4. I spend all my time making sims and lots but hate playing them because I have to make the game interesting. Interesting things don't just happen organically. The lack of story progression outside the household makes everything just feel hollow.. like the Truman show or something." by finkployd

"Story Progression would be the best thing to add to this game, even better than bunk beds. Imagine sending your daughter to prom and her female best friend comes out of the closet and proposes going steady with her, with the only player input being yes or no for you." by F1 razer
----------------
"The sims 4 we are, literally, controlling puppets. All Sims feels kinda the same, w/o personalities, it's so weird. And I completely agree with you, I don't like playing God all the time, it is soooo frustrating
For me, the sims have become a building simulator, because is the only feature that EA gives attention (sorry if the English is bad, it's not my main language)" by Thanity Michelle
----------------
""I'm a stork, this is my life now". I totally felt that. I agree with every point that you're making. I don't know anyone who would disagree with this. Some say "trash it and make Sims 5", and while that's fine we need to take into account the amount of money we have put into this game to be so underwhelmed by it. They need to fix it. They can totally turn this around. I still have faith that they can, 'will they?' is the ultimate question. I appreciate what they've done so far with the adjustments but these major aspects that are missing makes it a huge problem for most of us Simmers. I hope y'all voted twice (phone and computer) on the community survey.
I don't use mods, but I'm mainly a builder and a sim creator in TS4. Playing becomes bland after a while. I've never been as active in CAS or build/buy as I have with TS4. My other games have two saves maybe tops, families that i played with from vanilla. In TS4 I have around 15 saves (not counting the 20 or so I've deleted over time). It's such a shame. I never want to actually play the game anymore, which was the whole point of loving the franchise in the first place.
Great video, Carl. I truly hope they step it up and improve our game." by Go Go Godzilla

Spoiler
The Sims 4 has given players creative control to an extreme, and this isn't always a good thing. It increases predictability unless you go out of your way to set up the game, and even then you were the decider. I don't always want to be the decider, I'd like to play along as the story unfolds and make choices for my Sims. I'd like them to have preferences in who they date, and want to be friends with this or that Sim. I'd like them to have a type and to be rejected. I hope someday this can happen in this series.
