Looking Forward To the End Of TS4
Let's look at a few reasons why. Unlike TS2 or TS3, TS4 has been built on such a small scale, with limited gameplay, I will be happy the day it has ended and TS5 possibly revealed. Or maybe I won't...

Just my 2 Simoleons...
For me, Sims 4 is likely to be my last Sims game. Not because I don't like it -- indeed, I enjoy it very much -- but because at my age I'm not sure I want to start on a new iteration that likely will go on longer than I will. :/ So I'm in no hurry for a theoretical/mythical Sims 5.
I don't like to compare it to previous iterations because each one is different. I enjoy Sims 4 for what it gives me. Despite the lack of a color wheel or CASt, I find greater creativity in CAS than in previous Sims games; I can actually make my Simself and she doesn't look like an American football linebacker. She has curves in the proper places. I also like the ease of Build mode -- I can enlarge a room, or add a basement, without having to dismantle half the house to do it. And while I wish that traits and emotions had a bit more impact, Sims 4 Sims are better than the wooden Sims of Sims 3.
Sims 3 might actually be the outlier of the series, with the open world. I wish I could have back the minutes I wasted watching my Sims drive in a car or ride in a taxi from their home to a point on the map where they'd get out of the car (which magically disappeared into their inventory) and run to get to their destination, only to have to go back home a few minutes later because they were tired or hungry.
By not comparing this game to any other Sims game I've played, it's made it easier for me to enjoy this game for what it is, rather than what it isn't. But that's just how I roll...your mileage may vary (YMMV).
I don’t understand your post I’m afraid. You don’t like to compare iterations and by not comparing it’s made it easier for you to enjoy this game. Yet this entire post is based on picking out a few features Sims 3 has (both factual - CASt and open world - and opinional - ‘wooden’ sims) and slate them a little in a totally subjective way, completely unrelated to the subject of this topic. It’s great you can play your simself with curves in the proper places, but that’s no reason why ending the game now would be a bad idea. You actually could do that from day 1. Sims can eat wherever they go in Sims 3 by the way, so the slating doesn’t even make sense. And they only need to rest at the end of a sim day.
Please let’s stay on topic.
