The moment I played TS4 base game for the first time in April 2021. I lost interest in just ONE day. Then again I already had quite negative expectations and I got the base game for free so I couldn't be too mad about it. Also, all the DLC happened to be on sale at the same time so I proceeded to buy packs that catered to my interest. The game got WAY more enjoyable after that.
Overall I don't really have memorable bad moments for TS4. Mostly because I'm very picky now and kind of "can't be disappointed if I already expect it". I might have several overall grievances about the game but there's practically no area in which I'd feel disappointment because my "expectations weren't met". (E.g. I knew TS4 release game was trash so I didn't buy it.) Most of the bad stuff I already knew beforehand and could alleviate by my own actions like not buying at all, only buying during sales or by making sure there's mods fixing those issues. For example: I only bought Realm of Magic after I made sure there's functional mods to make Spellcasters more challenging.
BUT if considering the whole franchise then definitely Pets in Sims 2. That's legit the only pack I regret buying (paid full price). It caused plenty of issues and general annoyances like flashing blue accessories, lag and insanely dominating pet wants. I was also very disappointed with the content itself. I love pets irl and I wasn't expecting anything more than pets (had no issues with the lack of other items) but since the pack was only about the animals, I expected them to be way more complex with their personalities and behavior. Instead they felt very limited. For example: what kind of dog doesn't give a rat's behind when a burglar "visits" your house? "Who cares, I'll just keep chewing on this toy", says the TS2 dog. I also tried to recreate my IRL dog and she was just a sad shadow of herself.
While I don't think TS4 iteration is worth the full price (definitely not) I still think they did cats and dogs way better.
