The reality is, I shouldn't need to hope for advertised features that aren't actually in the game.
As I pointed out in another thread, there no reason why TS2 has better sim personalities than TS4, almost 5 years after its release. TS2 released 15 years ago.
If you look at the 2014 trailers, they pushed personalities + emotions / behaviour = smarter sims. They made these features sound game changing. Instead, what do we get? Sims with as a much personality as a piece of wet cardboard, and emotions dictated by cheap furniture.
Smarter Sims.
Right...
