I agree that something is missing from the base game. I enjoy playing my Sims, and they are different for me because of how I imagine them. I am more of a storyteller so I am happy, but still it could be better.
I particularly agree that traits should be more meaningful. And his suggestions for overhauling emotions and whims are right on. I use Meaningful Stories and that alone makes a big difference, but it is not enough by itself.
I think the most recent aspirations which are just walk throughs of the new packs are not in depth enough. I don't want every aspiration to be extremely difficult since I would like teens to be able to finish one before adulthood, but there should be some that are truly lifetime goals.
I don't have a problem with too much money. Maybe since I play rotationally, I haven't had long enough for most of my families to become wealthy. I do wish there were pieces of art that cost 50,000 simoleons or more for when I do save enough to fulfill the dreams of my mansion barons.
He didn't mention family play, but I think attention needs to be given towards making each of the lifestages more unique. The game has done well with toddlers and adults, but babies, children, teens, and elders need more development.
