I agree, Sims 4 (but add in "And all games in the series") are neither horrible or perfect, we just tend to disagree on WHAT Is lacking. There are things lacking, but for me it's different things than others think. I agree with lifestages, it is deifinitely lacking but I see a LOT of posts saying they don't want more life stages. I personally do not want more unpredictablity, or deeper personality, but I would LOVE free babies and non-mutual relationships for example)
Exactly what I'm saying. Deep personalities, unpredictability, better developed life-stages and free babies are stuff that belong in a "life-simulator". The problem of the Sims is that Will Wright pretty much created the genre as we know it so a lot of the things he did with The Sims are considered life-simulator must-haves which are missing from The Sims 4 or changed their direction. That change will of course lead to this massive criticism from the audience because these are the things people like life-simulators for you know?
I think you can love the game and still be critical of it. And this is what I try to get across with my example in the previous post. I wouldn't recommend the game to anyone looking for a "life-simulator" in the traditional Will Wright sense but I would recommend it to people who like building, or like making pre-determined things happen, or like making look-alikes etc. etc. which are things I think The Sims 4 does very well.
