My favorite Sims 4 things:
The things I don't like:
- Vampires
- Clubs
- Not having to game a skill point in order to start building a skill
- Parenting kids now influences what type of adult they end up
- The ability to have love-hate romantic relationships
The things I don't like:
- Emotions. They make all sims samey. I use a few mods to change the way they work, but still. I think it was a poor design choice.
- The closed worlds. It makes me feel like I need to keep my sim families home. I can't send the kids to do homework at the library while dad works on his rocket and mom goes to the club to get her flirt on. And in fact, if you visit the neighbor, if you leave a sim fishing, they'll be nowhere to be found. I find this quite constraining.
- The lack of bad things happening and NPCs to deal with them. Come on, life has good and bad. Dying from emotions is fine, but what about other things? What about burglars? Where are the firemen?
- The lack of memories. If someone cheats on you, there should be something more than an emotion that lasts a day. And if you cheat on someone, you should feel at least somewhat guilty for a time.
- My controversial one -- multitasking. At least the way multitasking is implemented. It's not really multitasking, it's having more than one action queued and they keep switching between them which makes things like eating take far too long. You can't chat while cleaning. I liked in the Sims 3, at meals, your sims would talk while eating but meals wouldn't take forever. Or chat when one was watching TV and one was cleaning. The chatting didn't come up in the queue so you weren't controlling it or gaining charisma, but still, it worked much better IMO.
