The very fact Sims 3 is so much more open and added so much different, diverse stuff, makes it way more in depth and adds numerous different things to do. Because it tickles our imagination and there's nothing deeper than that. Joining the forums here broadened my view on this, because I met simmers who were doing things in their games that never even had occurred to me. I don't think Sims 4 offers that, because the gameplay is so scripted and one dimensional. The developers came up with a plan and we play it. And each and every simmer has no choice but playing the very same game.

I completely disagree with this entire statement. Depth is subjective, I find the Sims 4 packs to have an enormous amount more depth than Sims 3 packs ever had. Sure Sims 3 has a lot of stuff, but in the long run, a lot of this stuff never proved completely useful in my normal game play, it would be stuff that I play around with time to time, but nothing that ever really expanded my game play as a whole. Sims 4 however offers game play features and tools that have completely changed and expanded my normal game play, the club system, lot traits, better cats and dogs (in my opinion), a calendar/holiday system, and now a celebrity and reputation system, all these, and some other features that I haven't mentioned, are features and tools that I use in my game play every single time I play, and I find it difficult to play without these features whenever I go back to playing Sims 3. Very few expansion packs from Sims 3 changed my game the way almost every single expansion pack from Sims 4 has (so far), and that's probably just because of how I play my game.

I'm not trying to say that you're wrong for thinking Sims 3 is better and has more depth, but I'm not wrong either for thinking Sims 4 is better and has more depth. It really is just a matter of perspective.

You are right whatever said is subjective and I will always feel that Sims 4 is not an full glass as when you go feature for feature Sims 3 beats Sims 4 for me I could truly tailor Sims 3 and Sims 2 to how I truly want to play and in Sims 4 for me again you can't because you have less tools to work with and even if Sims 4 had more DLC it cannot cover up the lack of features it does not have and I am not talking open worlds or open neighborhoods because Sims 4 can never possess it. I am talking about editable neighborhoods, neighborhood creation tools for those for me is better than any DLC that is in any of the packs. Yes, I buy the packs but I never pay full price as I find the value not worth it and wait for any sale where I can get it much cheaper than what the asking price is and I know I am not alone on this. For every pack that came out is gimped meaning less gameplay for me and I use CL as an example if Sims 4 is so great why can I not build Apts in every neighborhood for Apts are not only found in cities and that lessens the role of "You Rule or Challenge Everything" what is there to challenge as my systems run all over Sims 4 as there is no scaling system in place so there is no challenge, I look for the controversy to continue if anything. So yes, everything is subjective. :)
