I dislike the lack of content for the money we pay and that it seems they are always having to fix something after any update. The more "heavy" the update like right before a new pack comes and our mods are disabled the worse the problems are, The lack of depth makes the game less fun. Those are my main problems with the game.
@sawdust you brought up a lot of things I must agree with you on. Like actions matter. For example, if your sim lacks the Player trait that is earned in The Serial Romantic Aspiration under the Love category and is caught cheating you don't have the significant other do anything but get angry and storm off, Then the next day it's like nothing ever happened and everything is just fine once again. No married sims getting a divorce. No slapping in the face or drink thrown at them. No real drama as a result. I would cry when a beloved sim would die in Sims 2 and Sims 3. I will intentionally kill sims off and feel nothing in Sims 4.
I still play Sims 2 and Sims 3. I play them with a few cheats all the packs and ZERO mods and ZERO CC. I use both mods and CC in Sims 4 because of the lack of what makes the Sims the Sims franchise we all know and love. Both games (Sims 2 and Sims 3) keep my interest in where I don't even realize a few hours went by.
Don't get me wrong I do love playing Sims 4 just don't like some aspects of it. I love CAS and building in Sims 4. I love that my teens can live on their own. I love some other aspects of the game.
I really hope that Sims 5 gives us back the franchise we all knew and loved. I hope that the devs learn from their mistakes. Making it playable to the point of NOT needing or wanting mods and CC with just a few cheats on occasion.
