Sims 4 game balance is a joke
Remember in TS3 when you had to work hard to get things? And TS2 and TS1 and all the console games like Urbs and My Sims ect? Right, So. Started a new game. Had my Sim eat 3 times in 3 days when th...

Nvm the fact that if they actually wanted to give us full control they need to add things for us to do... The 4 lot neighborhood with 2 random joggers now and then is really not cutting it.
Personally the Sims 4 does not give me control to play out the stories I want without being a pain in the as*. I know a lot of people say they feel like this game gives them more "control", whatever that's suppsed to mean. But I find that the game goes against my storylines tons of times.
The Sims 4 isn't a blank canvas imo. It might be one in certain areas but then other areas are super random, and intrusive to your made up story (friendly socializing after a fight, emotions not corresponding to events happening, idle interactions interrupting sim actions etc.) or they are so restrictive that you just cannot do a lot of things (choose colors, create own worlds, lots, environments etc.)
At the end of the day, it's not challenging and unpredictable enough to completely satisfy my life simulation needs and it's not customizable and flexible enough to satisfy my sandbox needs.
Exactly. Imagine you are roleplaying a death. Ok the Sim dies (Which btw its way harder to actually get a Sim to die than to revive them). Now your entire family is sad... except they aren't, Well they are but they have 3 Happiness buffs from random things like décor and waking up in a good mood ect, overriding the sadness entirely. So now you have Sims cheering and being happy and smiling. Amazing story telling.
Sims 4 doesn't give players more control. It removes the things that gives the game replayability and variation. The only aspect of TS4 that has more options and control than other Sims games is what you can disable and not choose to deal with. Again, like emotions.. or death.. or fun.
Nvm the fact that half the time interactions get canceled. Ever woken up, set up 4 actions in queue then have them be entirely canceled by a mouse in a TLC apartment? Or have them be canceled by the group of Sims all sprinting to have a convo with your Sim and becoming "Good" friends with them just through chatting and stopping your Sims for doing what you want them to do? Oh yes definitely more control
