I've said it before in a different thread so I'm going to post and slightly edit my reply.
I feel the sims has become waaaaay to childish, I'm not saying there needs to be content like the Extreme Violence mod or WW, just something that doesn't make the game feel so safe or watered down. Honestly, I miss the depth and challenge of the older titles, they treated the players like adults, knowing that they could tell the difference between fiction and reality, daring to challenge players to solve little mysteries within the game. I remember back in TS2 days (I was between 10 -13 when I started playing) and it felt a lot more adult and it made me feel like one of the cool kids for playing a "grown-up" game. Moving onto the sims 3, while it was somewhat toned back it could still get pretty wild in the quirky way that the sims is known for, but it still had "mature" contend for those who were slightly older, e.g: you could hire dancers for Stag/Hen parties, sims could get mega "juiced" and dance on tabletops, heck they could even get "whacked" on herbs to a certain degree. Not to mention the Sims Medieval, your sims could get into battles to the death, get supper hammered, have traits like gambler, lusty, drunkard etc, heck even in some of the speech bubbles there were actual swearwords used.
In comparison, The sims 4, just feels too safe.
Again, I'm not asking for anything explicit or raunchy, I'm just asking for depth and mystery again, something that makes me feel like I'm actually playing a game rather than watching a game play itself (which TS4 feels like half of the ruddy time.)
