The Sims 4 will always be fragmented by the fact it started as a radical re-envisioning of the series with a multiplayer mode and story mode. Its existence defeats the very purpose of a new base game; it's a broken foundation, when a base game is supposed to provide a very solid one to build years of content with.
Salvaging it into the modern day, single player, The Sims 4 that we all know today cost EA a lot of time and a lot of money. And, since it's EA, where deadlines matter more than quality of their games, The Sims 4 took a noticeable hit in quality. There is so little innovation here. The features which sound like innovation on paper (multitasking, emotions, focus on the Sims themselves) all have major caveats or do not work as intended.
It would be far more ideal if The Sims 5 started development now, while The Sims 4 is still pumping out packs. This is how it was done during The Sims 1, 2, and 3, when their successor was in development. As long as it's envisioned as a single player experience from start to finish, it will have an immense head start over The Sims 4.
@Sk8rblaze they never intended to add a story Mode tô Sims 4. Project Olympus was only about online gameplay.
Many of us, Simmers, who played the Stories bakc in S2 Era would actually enjoy a story Mode If that didnt take our Freeplay Mode.
