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.
And your entire first sentence is still just an opinion, no matter how you frame it and how tightly you hold the belief. That your statement is an opinion is the only fact in what I quoted from you.
Besides, no sims game has had good AI. They haven't had any AI at all, actually. I mod, I know how sims decide what to do in all of the games, and there's no AI in any of them....just objects and interactions that attract them, or not. That's not AI.
The Sims 4 took a few steps forward and many steps back. This can even be analyzed quantitatively, as many have done before. Perhaps you *value* what Sims 4 improved, which is why you like the game more. That's opinion. I don't argue with your opinion. However, Sims 4 is a net regression in terms of substance.
