Families aren't considered important in western culture anymore, that's why we are facing so many issues - addiction, homelessness, mental health issues (which are effecting younger and younger demographics), extremism, isolation, divisiveness, I could go on. And it's why countries in Africa and Asia (no matter what issues their economies/politics may have) don't have these problems facing INDIVIDUALS - and why young people are prospering academically, and their populations aren't falling - as they still believe in community (not communities separated by social issues) and the importance of family.
Unless you are screaming about "living your best life" and "doing you" and why you're the most perfect human being in the world, no one will be interested in what you have to say.
The Sims 4 is like any other piece of media now - instant gratification. Why would young people spend the time raising a child and waiting (Sim)years for the rewards (and facing the challenges), when they could post a SimTube video and get a hundred likes and followers?
