There is no open world, color wheel etc to explain away why the sims 4 is the most bugged sims game

The only way Sims will improve is if EA, peaceably or otherwise, hands control of the franchise to another company, one that cares more about making a meaty game players can sink their teeth into than pretty-pretty and socio-political experiments. That sees the players as valued partners in creativity rather than sheep to be fleeced.
