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.
Yeah it's been slowly slipping towards "happy sunshine, rainbows and lollipops" ever since the devs became more active on Twitter. Which meant they were able to get "feedback" directly from players, many of whom just complained about every little inconvenience and constantly badgered them into quietly removing features until there was nothing left but happiness and no sadness 24/7. I mean, just look at what they did to the autonomous vampire gameplay. Due to Twitter complaints.
