I strongly disagree. Shallow is what you make it. Not like Sims was super deep or had great game play either; but people told stories that gave the game depth. The point of the game is to create sims and stories how you want it or otherwise it would be an RPG.
Shallow is the Sims in this game having no personalities. In the past I did not have to imagine what made my sims unique, the game displayed that based on how I created them. Sims 4 is only good at showing expression through emotions, and for every sim they experience those emotions the exact same way. This in turn means that every sim behaves the same way, they are drawn to the same things, and by design they are always nice and happy. The last part is probably the biggest flaw with this game.
It wasn’t my imagination that added depth to the characters in the previous games, it was the game doing what it was supposed to be doing: simulating virtual lives. You’re right the basic premise of the game is creating sims and telling stories but the game has to have some input.
