I can definitely see the attempts the Sims Studio is trying to cater towards the current audience. With so much content stripped out during the early phase of the launch, you can expect a lot of customers turned away because of it. I myself was one of those who completely stopped playing early 2017.
The only thing that brought me back to play was the fact that you can now "Build A Bundle". I've been purchasing my missing EP/GP/SP with the price it's worth. I'm now waiting on Island Paradise to get a discount. The CAS is amazing and the worlds can be pretty. Yet, the game still lacks depth in so many ways. I've been re-creating the real timeline set in The Sims 3 back into The Sims 4. I don't particularly enjoy the new "Landgraabs" and the lack of Altos.
In my own opinion, The Sims 2 will always have a special place on the throne and it certainly outclasses The Sims 3 in many ways.
I just hope that The Sims Studio / Maxis is willing to revisit, play The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 hardcore throughout the weekends to see what sort of content made players feel more immersed and connected with their Sims.
With that said, the development of the game is definitely lackluster. We are only on the 7th Sims 4 Expansion Pack during its 5-year stay with us. Previous sequels have had a lot more content pushed through within a shorter time frame. I can't speak for everyone but I am positively sure that most of the hardcore players of The Sims are at least 25 years and above. The nostalgic feel of experiencing what we have had in previous sequels without the need of paying content separated into a different game or stuff packs would be a relief.
