Is the Sims 4 criticism justified?
For me, it definitely is but I feel like we need to be constructive about our feedback and not be aggressive towards each other or the SimGuru’s. Whether you like TS4 or not, we definitely get less...

I do feel I get my money's worth with this generation. The game's held my attention in a gameplay capacity more than any previous generation has.
I think it depends upon the criticism because this fanbase is so diverse that most people have different gripes for different things. Criticism for a pack release when it's not your personal preference does, I think, tend to verge towards the Over The Top - certainly not something I saw to this degree with previous generations, anyway. But perhaps the prominence of social media has contributed towards that.
Again as far as features go, it's in the eye of the beholder, as @FairyGodMother said. Many do cite cars, babies, bunkbeds and romance systems as 'key' elements to the game and that it's 'lacking' without them. I disagree on most of those (the romance one is the only one I really agree on) because they won't make a major difference to my game - I can take them or leave them.
I also don't tend to get the bugs and glitches many others get - more often than not, the patch notes fix bugs I've never seen in my game. ? Perhaps it's to do with my PC or maybe I'm just fortunate.
I don't think it deserves the anger and fury but a little frustration if a feature you're keen on hasn't arrived yet - but every game in the world could be victim to that. <3
