Take a look at TS Freeplay.....
Here they are, with fancy interactive hand dryers, paper towel dispensers and toilets with a wall flushing mechanism , and TS4 doesn't even have freaking stalls.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

From what I've seen sims not being able to do much, just look at fancy scenery, and the game not having more consequences are the main gripes people have with Sims 4. I have yet to find any form of consequences in Freeplay. The motives in this game are meaningless, all they do is give a bonus to the player's experience points. I'm pretty sure the Freeplay sims cannot even die from hunger.
Gameplay consists of clicking objects and then waiting in real time for the action to get completed. That can be minutes to hours to a whole day. Then there's the quests, you'll need to do them to unlock more features (like lifestages). Start the game, you will get assigned a quest. Finish it in time to unlock a not otherwise available object or house. Those rewards are permanently missable. Not available for premium currency, not by repeating the quest. And you cannot pause the quest queue, the best you can do is decide to let one quest run indefinitely and finish it the moment you think you have enough time to beat the next one within the time frame.
Lots of other stuff is hidden behind paying real money (standard for a mobile game, but seriously offputting when you are used to the main series where cheats can override the locked status).
I agree that Freeplay is an enjoyable game in it's own right, and also that Sims 4 is lacking in many areas. But if you're seriously try to paint Freeplay as a better sims game than Sims 4, then you're looking for a radically different experience from a sims game than I do.
