Carl's take of ways for improvement.

In the Sims 4, unless I sit through a whack of loading screens, my Sim either works from home or I watch an empty home as they walk out the door and reappear after a speed through. There isn't really anything interesting about jobs. No commute. No nothing. In the Sims 3, the sheer glut of jobs, traits, and ways to make money made for some interesting combinations. It's almost limitless. The detective that uses their experience to write mystery novels (the Castle), the down on their luck private investigator that hacks the slot machines for extra cash, the graveyard keeper that wanders around picking up rocks to sell for money, the fisherman that paints the scenic outdoors, the criminal that loots the antiquities of ancient Egypt.... the list is almost unlimited, and adds so much more than just looking at an empty house or loading screen.
