Features that needs depth and ways to improve

Focusing on the 'apartment gameplay' was probably the worst decision they made for CL. After years of players asking for proper apartments they came out with something that doesn't really deliver for anyone.
Bottom line apartments should not be locked away from the player. We should be able to build them freely in any world without the insane restrictions. Most of the apartment gameplay isn't exclusive to apartments either which IMO makes the whole setup feel totally forced and unusable. This is The Sims 4 there is no excuse for failure to deliver on themes that have been done before and have been done much better.
What do you mean by "years of asking for proper apartments" ? Does that include the TS2 era as well or just from TS3 onwards?
As for features that need depth and improvement, TS4 is in desperate need of some attraction system similar to the one from TS2. I suppose some people would call the way our sims in 4 can romance others the true sandbox way, but spamming romantic interactions until you get to the point you like is just adding to the overall dullness of the gameplay IMO. It should be more challenging. It gives sims some actual personality when they don't just want to date anybody. In 2, even if sims weren't attracted to each other you could still make them end up together, only with a little bit more work and it was way more realistic than what we have now. It was fun sending a sim to a public lot and seeing that they immediately felt drawn to some people. As of now romance in TS4 is boring and empty, it's just a spam of interactions that inevitably ends in flirty mood, and once you achieve that it's ridiculously quick and easy to fill the romance bar entirely.
