Sims 4: A Disappointment?
I have spent thousands of hours playing Sims 4...the only comparable game to Sims 4 would be 'World Of Warcraft'. This is my offline game...I have about 3 hours 'online' play on my Origin account. Sim...

Indeed, even in Sims 1 Sims would act more differently based on those five sliders for personality.
In Sims 2, a lazy sim would even do their clothing changing twirl in a lazy way.
In Sims 4, the sims don't do much of their own. Mean and evil sims just make friends with everyone and never do anything mean or even get the whim to do that.
I recently played Sims 3 again, when there was a fire, my evil sim had the wish to see the burned to death ghost of the house mate she liked the least. Has not been the only time she wished to see a specific Sim's ghost. And she is mean to people at times, does not need to be told.
If I wanted to do every action of the characters myself, I might as well just play with Playmobil or other toys. Don't need a video game for that.
And the thing is, you could still do that in Sims 1, 2 and 3 as well! Just turn off autonomy. So.. I don't see adjusting to having less gameplay is in any way progress.
