This is what Sims 4 is lacking

He could make another one with another 50 interactions and animations not in the others. He barely scratched the surface. I played TS2 because of the Sims. I think someone on a thread said we play this franchise because of the Sim. I have to agree. TS2's Sims are the best. TS4 made some improvements like watching TV while sitting on a couch while eating, but for everything gained in TS4 look how much they lost.

I think there is a difference in which generational players are playing today's games, and it matters. I never played live mode on ultra speed but to only speed up a walk to the end of a very long drive to the portal to go somewhere, and or to speed up the slow walk sometimes of university Sims. (to get to class). Used it just for a second now and then.
I think today's players play their games on ultra and don't really care about detail at all. I was shocked one time here to see a poll (long time ago) which asked how many play on ultra, some of us who like all the details and personality differnces never or rarely played on ultra speed. Maxis has no need to add in all the details again, if everyone is playing on ultra they would never see it anyway. :/

I personally play TS4 on ultra because there's nothing to see. I speed towards my end goal. In TS2 and even TS3 I rarely used it because there was actually things to watch.

I would prefer to have things to watch. The way that the game is built now, is boring. I used to be consumed for hours with TS2 and TS3. TS4, I turn it on, burn through a day or two on ultra, get bored and go play Harvest Moon.

This video highlights everything that got me addicted to the sims series in the first place, and shows how much this current version is missing... and yeah, sad thing is, he could make a part 2 with another 50 things...
