I voted 7/10 despite the fact that I really enjoy this game, and have barely played any other iteration since the Sims 4's launch.
The main reason as to why I voted for a 7 is because after 3.5 years, it feels as if we are not even close to what feels like a full game. At this point in the Sims 3's life span, Seasons had just been released, with University just around the corner. I felt happy with what I could do in The Sims 3, and did not feel as if the game needed much more work from that point onwards.
Yet with the Sims 4, the whole process feels pretty slow, there is still a lot more stuff that I want from this game that does not seem to be coming any time soon.
Like I said, I really do enjoy this game. If this were the game's 2 year mark, it would probably be an 8 or 9, but because it's 3.5 years old (towards what would have been the end of the game's cycle in the previous instalments), I do not feel as if I can mark it as highly.
This is very similar to my feelings toward the game. I really enjoy it, but the content is slow and there are adjustments needed. I do add a handful of mods that affect gameplay. If I weren't able to use these mods I am not sure whether I'd still be enjoying the game.
Nonetheless, while I can look back and reflect on specific advantages of previous iterations, I just can't bring myself to play the other versions for more than a brief duration. I don't know whether it's because I burned out on the other versions, or because Sims 4 is easier to play and look at. For whatever reason, I'm focused on Sims 4 now.
