The Sims was always a game, where you could lay back, create some scripting here and there, lay off and watch the things unfold.
The Sims 4 is like a tool for me that allows me to create a script for a theater play, One problem though: the actors are bad, they're bad at acting and not actually following the script. Saying "I hate you", nodding than proceed to hug one another makes me want to leave the job as a director because it's not working out with these sort of condition. I rather move to another studio (like TS2) we're actors are good at their job of acting and following to the script. I wouldn't enjoy a film like "The Room" one, because it's kind of accurate representation what's wrong with the game.
