Pros:
1) Multitasking is amazing. It's not perfect but I being able to multitask. It's definitely a great addition that's not in the other games. Other then in like...Sims 2 when they would eat their food and a cup of water would magically appear.
2) CAS is great. I do wish there was a color wheel like they have for pets but I love how unique you can make a Sim look.
3) Looks great
4) I love taking photos in the Sims 4. I wish they would do more with photography. I want to be able to take family pictures, place frames on tables like in Sims 2, and an actual photography career but I still like what they have.
5) Toddlers are a nightmare to deal with...in real life and in this game. But they are arguably the best and more thoughout lifespan in the Sims 4. I love how independent yet dependent they are.
6) Game packs are wonderful. I hate that we only get one expansion pack a year (I feel like Seasons is next but I want University a tiny bit more. So I'm probably going to have to wait two years for that. Ugh.) But the game packs fill that void while I'm waiting for the expansion packs. And all of them are great. Even the Vampires and I'm not even a supernatural player.
7) I'm not a builder but Sims 4 makes me want to build things because it's so easy. There needs to be more building tools especially when it comes to stairs (for me personally).
8) Other than most of the jobs there are no rabbitholes. I'm sorry....but I never understood why people preferred the Sims 3 rabbitholes and open world to what we have now. The concept of the open world is great but...the rabbitholes killed it for me. The only thing that I loved about the open world was being able to ride my horse through the town. Which is why unless they came with an open world farm pack, Sims 4 wouldn't do horses justice. Anyway...I'm getting a little off topic. Sorry.
I can't think of anymore Pros right now. But, even though I've been playing Sims 2 (arguably the best Sims game) non-stop for a week now I still think that Sims 4 is my favorite.
Cons:
1) I need MORE traits. And actual traits not random mood boosters. One thing I liked from Sims 3 was that it felt like there were so many traits to choose from AND you got to choose five. Now you can only choose three and that blows.
2) The jump between child and teen is awful. I want tweens.
3) I need more gameplay. I mention Sims 2 a lot but that's only because I just got it a couple of months ago from asking EA nicely and Sims 2....is freaking amazing. The things you can do in that game compared to this one makes Sims 2 seem so advanced. It had a lot of gameplay and although Sims 4 isn't a complete game yet I hope they add more gameplay for all lifespans.
4) I need more romance. Lack of romance in this game is sad. But hopefully they'll do a romance pack.
5) Too many stuff packs. If you're going to do one expansion pack a year then I need less Stuff packs and more Game packs.
6) Too buggy.
7) I want open neighborhoods. A loading screen to go to the house next door is sad.
I can probably think of more but my post is too long as is.
