Lack of Long-term gameplay in TS4

Well, there is very little that can be done about TS4 now. I'm still convinced after all these years, TS2 is still the better game as far as Sims' personalities, memories, nuances, and interactions, relationships and what they think about that forms who they are. TS3 was better at allowing players more choices in creativity within the game instead of outside the game with CASt etc. However, more people like TS4 for it's 'graphics' which they actually mean art style, because to me, TS4's 'graphics' aren't any better than the other two games. Because of the art style everything to me looks textureless (if that's a word) and flat paint, like a comic book that isn't even drawn in 2D or without depth and shadow. Just flat. But anyway, I don't think there is much they are going to do to fix these Sims nor make it about the Sims like they did in TS2.

TS3 was about the world and exploring how far your Sim could go, more activities which is always good but more about CASt than gameplay. TS4 is, I don't know, about the developers' game, and what current event and or political moment is important to them, and what they care about rather than what average players who want actual gameplay care about. And they have missed the boat again. It should be about the Sim, always and everything else about more to do that represents life rather than what's the latest fad and or current circumstances.

There is still very little to do in this game after six years, that won't include painting, writing and or jogging and working out. And or sitting at a pc and just tasking away the Sim life. It's why the gallery is so popular because actually besides building lots to share and download players have very little else to amuse themselves for very long.
