Alright here's my take on this
Pros
The new CAS is pretty good I like that you can mold parts of the face and body, I have the most fun creating the sims
Sims art style reminds me of Sims 2 kinda
Building is pretty easy now, you can just slap a room to another corner now
Toddlers are a little more fleshed out, they have a little more to do
Pets are alright, reminds me of Sims 2 Pets but more fleshed out
Cons
Multitasking needs to be more fleshed out, it's all over the place what a mess
There's still a huge lack of core content ( how the heck did it took 4-5 years for toddlers to come back... )
Sims aren't really unique personality and game play wise, they all troll teh forums or play games on their phones like come on
Moods are a mess, as much as I like happy I don't want uncanny valley happy 24/7 like good god balance out the mood buffs and debuffs
It's absolutely hard to do a generation run in this installment, in terms of lack of family content like we got parenthood, toddlers, and toddler and kid packs but it's not enough to bear through a generation run I end up only reaching generation 2 when in previous installments I reached to 6+
The current release schedule is pretty much a joke in terms of packs, we got like iirc 13+ stuff packs now would be nice to get more game packs than stuff packs besides idk maybe more thought out pack ideas like take in more suggestions from the community and tackle some needed core content also the release times are pretty bad tbh, TS3 shot out 19+ meaty packs already
"Musical chairs", this isn't fixed still
Sims doesn't autonomously take care of babies and toddlers well, I mean as in ignoring them 90% of the time in my runs sometimes they tried to care but it's usually the need that doesn't need to be taken care of ( EX: Constantly washing toddler when toddler is starving to death, Constantly feeding toddler when they want to sleep )
Aliens don't do much they're just kinda there and vampires need to be balanced a little more ( also vampire thirst is absolute hell to deal with especially with relying on plasma packs and plasma meals )
Traits sadly doesn't change the sims that much, remember when TS3 had some pretty fleshed out traits that you can tell sims apart well ? Well here you just get random buffs and debuffs but not much in personality changes ( minor for gloomy and hot headed ), as I mentioned in the personality AI bit they'll still do the same old troll teh forums
