For me Sims 4 is WAY more strict than any other Sims game - it has WAY more limitations and I can't do what I want. In sims 2, where a lot of bad things could happen, I almost NEVER let anything bad happen to my sims, they were happy all the time, mostly. but the few times that they were miserable, fed into the time they weren't and made them more special and 'real. I just want that back. The incessant smiling only works for me if I actually have to work for it - it's not about real life happiness, it's a GAME. And for me, I love giving my sims happy lives, but there's no fun or meaning if there are no challenge. I wish the game could give us the OPTION to play more challenging, instead of the happy rainbows all the time. That way, people that want the psychedelic smiling can have that, and the rest of us can get real gameplay also.

We seem to be playing two totally different games. I see no psycheldelic smiling all the time. The Sim I'm playing atm is mostly concentrated. I have to send him to the appropriate location or tell him to do something different to change that. 'Real' gameplay? I didn't know that mine is what,...unreal?

Or, as @logion says, shallow as a puddle? Because I enjoy what you so freely call 'shallow'.

It would be better if the game additionally offered the sort of gameplay you want to see - but I suspect that it would be more likely that it would cancel out what I like and then I would not like it or buy it. Good for me, bad for you in this case.

*shrugs* It's ATM a game which supports a free creaticity playstyle.
