Sims 4 is one of the easiest games I have ever played. It’s much simpler than the other sims games not only in the way they’ve built the interface but also in the way the game plays. Some people can enjoy that, I do not. Live mode is the weakest area of Sims 4 in my opinion and that’s supposed to be the primary game mode.
This is supposed to be a video game, and I have never had to go out of my way to find a way to enjoy playing any other video game. It’s absolutely a problem with the game and the direction they have went with it. Again, some people don’t mind it and some do. Given my experience with the other games this one just doesn’t compare. From my perspective it’s not a very good game. Sims 4 feels like an interactive story book and not a game.
