I used to actually WORRY when my adult sims (if I was playing a legacy) didn't produce at least 2 heirs by the time they reached the end of young adult, (an heir and a spare) because the threat of death was very real. Especially in TS2 but also in TS3 as well. I worry about nothing in my game now. I'm sure if I left a family on all night and went to bed all I would find in the morning was a couple of dirty teens on their way to school in their jammies and probably unpaid bills.
This is why I get bored in Sims 4 - I used to actually CARE about my sims in 2 and 3 because there were consequences and 'bad' things that could happen and struggles and memories. Without that - I do not care about my sims, so I get bored and keep starting new saves all the time.
This x1000.
If there's no meaningful failure states or consequences then all of the positivity and success becomes meaningless as well. It's a point I've brought up a lot in the past when talking about the issues with The Sims 4. Another thing I've also pointed out is that Will Wright himself back in 2000 literally said this exact thing regarding the failure states.
I have to disagree with this. At least in my case. I've been playing since the beginning and I've never been a fan of failure states. No aspiration failures, no meteor strikes, and no death, just to name a few off the top of my head. And if they did occur there's always the option to exit without saving. Probably sounds boring but it's how I've always enjoyed playing.
