@filipomel what a good post!
I guess I must make use of a lot of those 'difficulty settings' you mention, as my sims never have it easy. I have only ever had one rich sim in all these years, and that was because they won the lottery lol.
I guess how a person sees this game depends a lot on how they play it and what they want from it. I like to take things slow, I never cheat or use what I call 'freebies' (like money trees). I don't try and race up the careers or get to the top of skills. I get a lot of pleasure doing a long rotation and intertwining relationships around all the worlds, whilst experiencing lots of aspects from all the different packs.
The game is very well suited to how I play.
Of course, there are bugs and things that need better tuning, but no game is perfect.
You and I play pretty similarly. I, however, have found myself having to mod the game more and more the longer I play. Not for features, but for bugs that break immersion and totally tick me off enough that I have to shut down the game and find a mod or make one myself.
Now don't get me wrong, I like the game enough that I'm playing it nearly everyday, but there are things that do need improvement. I think a lot of playstyle were left behind and it's frustrating. Like for me, a family player who absolutely loves children, the game is seriously lacking in that department. And people's frustration manifest in different ways, but I think most people are really just trying to wave their hands and get anyone to listen. I don't always agree with everything, but I do empathize with players who want to get what they're missing.
