This game in general is aimed to be a happy place.
As much as I hate to get backlash for this, I think I should say that this is one of the biggest problems of the franchise now.The game is leaning too much on the positive side of things that it forgets that it. is. a. life. simulation. game. Negative things are part of life. Life is full of drama. And it's up to us, the players, who are now in control of everything, to make things right.
Ultimately, what enrages me is that The Sims 4 is 7 years old, but it hasn't decided yet whether it is a life simulation game (that feels like a game with real challenges) or a sandbox/storytelling game.
I think that has given them a larger player base, because they get a lot of new people that play the game casually and play for shorter play sessions. Unfortunately people who play the game for longer probably feels like many others that there are no larger consequences in the game and no long-term goals.
I asked them about this during sims 411 when they were taking questions from the community for a day... hopefully Maxis will consider adding options for long-time players and not letting the focus on getting new players decide too much how they design their packs.
