Ok so they reason the sims 4 is horrible is because the laziness of the team and their focus on emotions and personalitys unlike the sims 4 the previous sims games were focused on making a story having family, getting married, having children etc and the sims 2 was great it was a step forward and they added on to the sims 1 and next comes the sims 3 they added story progression and open world. And next comes sims 4 it had some good features but those feature are over shadowed with the missing features for example cars, toddlers babys age into a full grown kid and loading screen where every you for example you are at the library and you see a bar you want to go there oh no there's a loading screen and no story progression I played sims do age but don't get married or have kids they just age and eventually die unless there's player intervention. So my point is the sims 4 is just a bad game and should have never been in the sims series from the start,
If you knew just a little about EA then you would
never have used a word like laziness about the team because if this was true then EA would just have given them a lot of unpaid overtime in the evenings and in the weekends. So no. It isn't at all about laziness because all employees in EA work very hard or they will have to leave. EA isn't at all a workplace for lazy people.
Instead it is all about EA's greed. All EA's games are made in the same way which means:
1. EA demands new content which is likely to make more people want to try the game. For TS4 this was
"new emotions, multitasking and new improved CAS and buildmode". Who wouldn't want to try such a game?
2. All EA's games usually lack depth because depth is expensive to make and because people will buy the games anyway. They can't either get their money back when they finally realize that the games don't have enough depth.
3. All EA's games have a lot of minor bugs which EA never attempt to fix because EA wouldn't be paid anyway for fixing those bugs,
4. EA never puts more content into a game than what is needed to get satisfying sales numbers because adding more than this would only increase EA's expenses without really affecting EA's income.
So no. It is all about EA's greed and not at all about laziness. EA puts enormous pressure on the developers to finish the games with the ordered content and within the budget and time limit. Therefore Maxis can't give us more content than what EA wants Maxis to give us.
