Smarten up TS4
The Sims 4 has boasted about having smarter sims with wacky stories. So far, the stories are lack luster because of limited game play options and the sims are as smart as rocks. Here's just 1 exampl...

I bought The Sims 4 a few months back while it was in the Origin sale, and for a few days I actually found it entertaining. Then the novelty wore off: I would load the game up and then immediately quit it after only ten minutes of gameplay. Today I dug out the Sims 3 base game and expansion packs, installed them, and now I'm downloading the patch at this very moment. I do actually regret buying The Sims 4 because I find it boring. The game has been stripped of all the features which made previous games in the series exciting and fun to play.
Don't get me wrong, the sims themselves are interesting, but there are no driveable vehicles and there are a lot of features missing. I think The Sims 4 is a throwback to The Sims 1 in that the neighbourhood view is very similar, but the game just feels empty. Here's a list of things I both like and dislike about The Sims 4:
Positives:
1. The customisation options in CAS.
2. Graphics.
3. Better options for designing houses.
4. Realistic toddler skill building.
5. Ability to multi-task.
Negatives:
1. No vehicles.
2. No open ended-world.
3. Things become repetitive.
I think that in an attempt to make things more interesting, the creators have cut the features that were around in previous games so that players become engaged with how the characters behave.
Oh, and one more point: I recently bought the Jungle Adventures game pack. I was expecting a number of areas to explore around the Island, but instead there's only a large forest. It resets itself each time you revisit the vacation island, but it's not the same once you explore every part of the forest the first time around.
