Even playing them for a few hours can be fun, but once you stick around longer you will realize nothing's happening.
There are no unexpected scenarios, no interesting life-goal to pursuit, no actual personality, no long-term consequences, no chemistry between certain Sims, no neighbourhood relations that could affect everyday life in them, Sims actions don't even influence their environment and sometimes not even other Sims that live in the same house!
The Sims 4 is like playing the same day over and over and over again.
