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...

Yes. I'm expected to buy a game that has limited me on changing the neighborhoods and for more money than the last three base games I purchased. That deserves a fair amount of criticism since it turns six years old and will be into it's seventh year shortly and we still can't edit, alter, change a district/world/neighborhood.
Yes. I'm expected to drool over three trait slots. Just three. And also praise the fact they don't even matter in this game. The problem with TS4 is TS2, and TS3 exist. TS1 had a personality system that was even more robust in some regards than TS4's because their interactions and relationhships and or ability to make friends or get promotions or whatever in all walks of life were based on their interests, their astrological signs and other things. TS4's ability is based on a buff at any given time. Shallow.
Yes. Because though they claim to be a diverse generator there are many type Sims not in this game. Religion is a no, so many can't represent themselves if that is what they want to play. They have to imagine. It can't be diverse when billions are left out who feel that way no matter what they believe and or even if disabled Sims are not in the game. They have opened that can by saying they are diverse, then I would ask them to prove it. If they are going to keep saying it, they need to live up to it.
Yes. Because TS4 is not a life simulator though Ryan promised they had built a strong foundation that would make all our dreams come true. Well, what were we dreaming about? Life Simulator. The good and the bad and consequences with choices our Sims make. Where are they? Where is the bad in this game? Where does a Sim ever struggle with any thing? I don't mean the player, I mean the Sim.
Yes. Because after the rebranding a few years ago, they have now stated in several different articles and interviews TS4 is a trend simulator. What? I was told it was the fourth in the long line of serials of The Sims (a life simulator) and now it's not? Why should I continue to buy one more thing if it's a trend simulator? I didn't sign up for that.
Yes. Unlike the past games if I wanted to play something in my imagination, I'm too limited by fake backdrops. Cell phones in every pocket. Not only that but lots I can't edit, or things so tied to the cell phone (lack of choices) or the Sim pc my Sim has to have those things? What happened to giving the player choices not to need those things and still be able to play out a story in their head and even a career?
Yes. Because after six years instead of showing us a road system, they show us Star Wars.
Yes. Because of showing us actual new game play we see things reskinned and or reused such as someone on Youtube pointed out in the new SW trailer, don't we already have 'collecting unusal artifacts' or whatever in JA? Redundant gameplay.
Yes. Because in the same vein, isn't what most who are still buying just rebuying what they already have in the base and or other packs just reskinned and refurbished to be in a different world or different career.
This has been the biggest milk job I have ever witnessed in gaming.
