EA please can you make the sims more alive and fun sims 4 has basically turned into a virtual doll house only really too perfect not enough drama..

I have to agree Sims 2 has more drama without you using a mod to make things happen.

Nah, it's too late.

I have wanted nothing more than better Sims since day 1 of Sims 4, yet here we are. So I don’t think they are overly concerned with how the sims are now. They haven’t done anything to make them better in all the time the game has been out.

Well, I don't think its a virtual dollhouse....it's a bug-infested house. Might be able to create drama if you add an exterminator?

The earlier games like 1 and 2 had more drama because Will Wright believed that failure states were more interesting than everyone just being cheerful all the time, and if anything for me The Sims 4 proves him 100% correct.

In the original Sims game fires were devastating, if you managed them poorly there's a chance they would spread massively, they could literally grow from one tile to seven or eight in an instant. The reason for them being so disastrous was because Will lost his own home to a fire.

The Sims 4 tries so hard not to interrupt the player and in that fashion it stops being a life simulator. In real life things interrupt people all the time, we all have plans and dreams but often things and drama come up to muddle that all up. The Sims 4 doesn't reflect that at all.

There were even different failure states for different age groups. Teen Sims in 2 would run away if they became very upset for several days, for instance. If they had low aspiration bars they would start misbehaving more as well.

Well said.

I enjoy the game as it is, honestly. Real life has plenty of drama for me. But then again, I don't like soap operas or reality shows either.

i agree with this.. to me sims 4 should be a rating for younger players not teen and over.. have they forgot that a ton of players started with the sims 1 in 2000 and most of us are adults and we need some challenges and some true detail in game play or else i have to retire to just the sims 2 and hope that i can continue to play it for many more years to come..

There lies a world between absolutely nothing and drama/soap. That world you can find in Sims 1, 2 and 3.
