I think the innovation is no longer there, and hasn't been since my Sim first opened their front door and stepped out into an open world. I think that is the last great innovation there has been and that's ten years ago.
That was certainly a WOW moment - seeing that trailer video advertising the open world and cast for sims 3 for the first time - I still remember how I felt watching that. Nothing has wowed me like that since.
Of course, there are good features and new innovations for sims 4 - like being able to pick up and move rooms or whole houses, gallery downloads plopping straight into your game, wearing hats with any hair, any pregnancy clothes etc. The innovations they have now are just on a much smaller scale. But then, in reality, what could they do that would top open world and cast and still be able to run on an average computer?
Personally, I would like to see a sims 5 that brings the best of all versions, but mostly concentrating on making sims with their own individual personalities that react to situations better, have their own likes and dislikes and so on - so closer to the sims 2 than any other. The sims themselves are the most important aspect, everything else is just set dressing.
Maybe that's why some people don't get on with Sims 4 as well as they do with other versions? Although we can make some great looking sims - personality wise, they've gotta be the worst yet.
