Lack of Long-term gameplay in TS4

They had a good opportunity with Eco expansion... but again it's way way too easy. It's actually really really hard to keep it industrial or just make it industrial. Also the money received from surplus electricity and water is ridiculously high. I didn't even get through summer and I went from Industrial to neutral and am on the way to green. I still have fireplaces (1 in each room, 2 in kitchen/ living room) and a ton of generators and am using no Green build items or walls. My fault to make it green? I have a rooftop garden.... wow if the world were that easy than all cities would look like the nicer areas of Singapore. Could you imagine how easy our smog and pollution would be to just clean up? I wasn't even working in one of the Eco careers but a mod career that pays me about 500-600 a week.... I wanted to play the Eco expansion with it taking time maybe from Teen activist (which is not an option) to adult to get things neutral. At least then it would extend the time I could play and feel immersed.

I like the sims 4 but I binge play it for about a 100 hrs before going to one of my other games or back to sims 3. There's just not enough sustenance to make me want to play longer. Yes kids play this game but the game is actually geared towards Teens and up, hence the game rating... So why the simplicity?
