Only a few of my gripes have gotten addressed, but I got mods for the rest, so most of them are gone now.
That said, I don't like the newer additions that are supposed to give our sims depth, because in practise they are very over the top and instead of adding personality only turn my characters into caricatures of themselves. The sims are still missing social awareness, for example a mean and ambitious sim would definitely know not to alienate his boss. He should get a tense moodlet for having to force himself to be nice instead of outright choosing mean options (free will off doesn't help 100%, if you are not quick with the pause key, the sims will find ways to slip in their own conversation choices). The tense mood would lower his chances for success naturally.
The sims should also recognize their surroundings (bathroom, public space), now THAT would go a a long way towards creating immersion!
