I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think they've lost me. I have liked the game despite the (many) bugs and flaws. Things I didn't like -- the closed worlds, the lack of CASt, the inability to have active sims on a different lot do anything meaningful, the lack of family trees -- I figured I would get used to.
Then I fired up the Sims 3 again. I can play it rotationally with the help of mods and in fact, I believe I can turn aging on/off per household. Everything I want in Sims 4, I have in Sims 3. And I'm finding emotions are there as well -- dreams pop up often depending on what is happening with the sim (heh, like the male sim I had at a celebrity party where he jumped into the hot tub where there were three naked female celebrities -- and the wish to woohoo in the hot tub popped up immediately).
While in Sims 3, I have to use mods to get my Sims to look the way I want and to eliminate many bugs, at least those mods exist. Maybe in a month or so, when I see what the December patch brings, I'll give it another look. But I'm sure not going to throw my money at Sims 4 the way I did Sims 3. I can wait for sales.
I am, in Sims 3, playing logged in, hoping they're still tracking telemetry.
I understand and respect your opinion. I'm going to "like" your post even though "like" doesn't really apply. They need an "I feel ya" button. :(
