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.
No personalities?! Ha, must be a joke or you're or playing the game as all my sims seem to act quite different.
All this talk yet Sims 3 were the worst of all. Five traits and they still just stand there and look as stiff as a board and emotionless as a robot. Sims 2 didn't have traits and even they had more personality.
And yes, you did need imagine before it was always about players wanted. They aren't an RPG, so it isn't a liner game. It must be your imagine as I don't remember Sims 3 doing much at all, much less being all that deep or have much game play (especially compared to Sims 2). Sims 3 is a huge downgrade in every way.
And I am not apology for pointing this out.
TS3 sims have a lot more personality than TS4 sims. In TS4 most traits are mega useless and they rarely affect their behaviour and socials.
