I think the sims games should focus on letting the player play with life and experience different parts of life, have those magical moments when sims interact with each other in ways you did not expect and let you create your own story.
Many games that are telling good stories are focusing on one point of view from the protagonist, the sims are supposed to help you create whatever story and world you want with any sim so the game should offer you options and give you opportunities to do that.
But I also think it should be a game, it should be entertaining and fun to play and offer new experiences for us in the forms of jobs, careers, activities, professions etc. Things that make gamers play games for hours and hours on end. And it is disappointing for me that much of that feels very limited by hardware or software restrictions.
I hope that the sims5 will not feel as restricted, but instead offer "wow" moments like other games do, like when you see incredible vistas or defeating a really hard boss in other games.
