This is what I put.
Why have you stopped playing, or taken a break from, The Sims 4?
I am a new player as of this year (since L&D) and I took a several month break already and came back just before the release of EbN which really peaked my interest to return/stay. I felt the game has some flawed aspects that eventually frustrate or overshadow the rest of the game, causing me to need a break:
-Autonomy not reflecting my Sims traits and likes/dislikes. Sims constantly doing things they are suppose to dislike either by trait or by dislikes.
-Some older base game traits really do not give my Sims much character or uniqueness, making them feel boring or all the same after a while.
-Not enough toggles/customization game/pack options. Being forced to use features I'd rather skip in a gameplay can be very annoying.
-Some mods that help these aspects only help so far. As an amateur modder I can tweak/fix some aspects or use other mods but they are not official so there are issues like causing the game/households to be identified as CC or in one case I use a skill lock mod to prevent my Sims from learning certain skills I don't want them to learn, but the notices still spam that they have learned the skill when they have not. It just be better if it was official feature(s) so it work better.
-The simology UI needs a clean up, after enough packs it is just a cluttered mess, balance/luck constantly fluctuates, so simology always blinking and it is annoying.
-Being burnt out by annoyances can be exasperated by feeling ignored on the Sims 4 community forums. More transparency, less patronizing way to report bugs (when moved to feedback is very patronizing and makes one want to give up on the game for a while) and more detailed plans on what is being worked on/fixed and how long we'd have to wait would at least give a time frame instead of just taking a break and seeing if it is fixed by the time we get back.
-Also being disheartened when I see I have missed out on LE items, and knowing I can never get them. At least with Sims 3 you could just buy the gold edition for the exclusive items.
