Trotting out your personal checklist to tally up your personal score board for the game just makes the point I already made, @Cinebar.
It doesn't matter if you could put 999 more things down, it would still be those specific things which you consider as having value for the games being measured. Someone else might not care about a single one of those things, and therefore they would not be part of that person's valuation in deciding if the game was 'lacking' or not.
It's okay to have opinions, you don't need to try to "prove" they are facts.
They're pretty...essential...to Sims functioning as a game. If you don't care about what was referenced, like lack of smart AI (huge!) then you just care about Sims 4 as a glorified movie-making tool, as someone said on Twitter.
I think that all depends on your play style. To me, TS2 was too restrictive. I didn’t want all of the “stuff” it made me do. I wanted to create and stage my own stories with characters that I envisioned. TS3 got closer to that. TS4 is somewhat better, even with some limitations. I value flexibility over organized, game controlled gameplay. So, is my play style less valid than yours? I don’t think so. And, there are a lot of us still enjoying the game. But, yeah. Let’s dump it because your preferences aren’t being met.
