Gave it an 8 out of 10. It was broken and bare at launch, but now it's the sims game with the best toddler stage, which does a lot, and when added with the parenting pack, it makes playing with multiple generations, something I don't do on Sims 3, a lot more fun. The game The Sims 4 is now should have been the game at launch. There's also a strangely overwhelming sense of isolation in the sims 4 for me, and it's amplified by whims to leave the lot when it's such a pain to do so, and reduced some by the city living pack that allows you to explore at least a small section of a functioning town while not abandoning your sims at home. If the sims 4 had leaned into that sense of isolation, I feel like it would have been received like The Sims 2, which made it so that leaving the lot wouldn't pass time on your home lot (it's really annoying, I can't have one sims go out and party AND another do their homework for work at the same time. At least in the sims 2, time was a social construct I could mess with so both could get done, and in the sims 3, they could be done simultaneously). Sims 4 is good for isolated households and single-person households, but if you have one social butterfly and one isolated sim in the same household, you're in for some trouble.
