Sometimes I find myself thinking this is more like - The Sims the movie and less like the Sims - the game.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. Many of us actually want to play the game, not watch it be dictated to us by people who don’t even know what the majority of fans find fun about a sims game. It’s not fun at all being constantly teased with all the backdrops, set dressing and wasted space you can’t even interact with every time you load up the game.
Why is it that simmers had more freedom 14 years ago placing lots wherever they wanted in TS2? Now all of a sudden we can’t be trusted to place any lots because someone somewhere complained that their Compaq laptop from 1995 can’t run Sims 4 on Ultra settings?? Boo...?
What’s the point of making the game accessible to lower end machines if you have to cripple and excise every ounce of fun and creativity in the process? Even those of us with potato laptops are well aware of how limited the game is. We don’t need ultra settings to figure that out.
Because Will Wright would actually play what he and his developers would build then change it or improve it, he was just as much a player as he was a producer and a developer. Others in the 'office' didn't understand why he played out anything he created but that's why The Sims and The Sims 2 base are so loved. He wasn't part of the EPs for TS2, but he was still overseeing what happened.
