Sims Four Live Mode is Lacking
While I LOVE the aesthetics of the game and how it looks, actually PLAYING it is tedious and repetitive and boring. I don't know what it is. Is it the lot types and how the game codes them to play...

The Sims have out grown themselves or itself. It's way past time they started to have their own intellegence. And I don't mean being able to care for themselves. I mean intellegence. I want to see Sims talk to my Sim about what just happened. Whatever that might have been.
Come over for a visit to talk about neighborhood changes (and know what those changes are, new building, new activity etc.) talk about Joe and or Mary, and again whatever was going on with them. If my Sim knows Joe and the visitor knows Joe then they should discuss Joe and anything they agree or disagree about Joe. See? Normal Human Behavior. Sims just randomly talking about anything should be a thing of the past. They should be more aware of each other, their neighbors and the world.
I did appreciate TS4 gave us the ability to mention a Sim to another Sim and how that all works out but I would like for Sims to have real meaningful conversations if this game is all about conversations instead of interactions.
But TS4 doesn't even live up to TS2 interactions and intellegence, like when a Sim is sad not even the parents go comfort the kid who is sad in this game. They couldn't care less.
Sims who witness a death should not only being upset, traumatized (have you seen someone die? I have_ ) or sad, but should discuss it, but instead they stand around grinning. Especially if they are law enforcement, someone should have ran over to check on the dead Sim, call an ambulance, or something. But what did the cops do in this game? They stood around with big grins, (maybe Joey had it coming) ate food, watched TV while supposedly investigating a crime scene. Well, wow, someone just died at that crime scene, and though not written into the game that should have thrown everything into topsy turvy. Say this slowly 'murder'. Lol The Sims should have been freaked out to see someone die at a crime scene even if it was an elderly guy.
There is no room in TS4 for improvising. The game continued and no one cared. That is what is boring.
Some day the game will be smarter and improvise any situation right into my imagination. But until that day, I will continue with TS2 where they at least all run over to see somone dead, and cry. Trauma shouldn't only happen just because you met the Sim but because you witnessed death, and Sims should have more soul. ETA: Life is hard and these Sims in particular in TS4, are handed everything on a silver platter.
ETA: I do appreciate you added death notices, now, don't go watering down the buffs.
