But The Sims isn’t a builder’s game. Which doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with doing just that, but if they’d cut out all the gameplay except for building (which I also consider gameplay by the way), would it still be a Sims game? Sims is playing with little people. Delivering the game with just amazing CAS wouldn’t make a Sims game either. There are thousands of dressing games for that and that is not Sims. Again, that doesn’t mean you can’t use the game for just that (I know people do and more power to them), but when you make a ‘dressing up characters’ thing out of it, it stops being Sims. Sims needs more. Other gameplay. For people who love doing other things with the game than building houses and creating Sims. To me this unpopular opinion sounds like: we don’t need a proper Sims game anymore, with gameplay for all kind of playing styles. And for simulating lives.

Sims was originally going to be a build only game but Will Wright wanted to add Sims to it.
"Will, who studied architecture in college, originally conceived of the game as an architectural design simulator. To "score" the quality of the design, he added tiny people who would inhabit the buildings. These simulated people quickly stole the spotlight, and Will realized that watching the lives of the Sims unfold was the real entertainment. Again, his instincts were right. Released in 2000, The Sims was the best-selling PC game of of 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003, until it was dethroned by its own sequel The Sims 2, which quickly established itself as the best selling PC game of 2004.

I don't think Sims is any one thing, but I agree any game without gameplay in it is no longer a game. CAS only focus makes me think of playing with Barbies, build only makes me think of playing with legos. So is like do people want the Sims turned into a children's toy? I don't, I want it to feel like a game made for teens at least and not just some Toys R' Us children's toy. If I wanted to play Barbies, I would not have moved on with the Sims but kept playing my Barbies when I first started playing the Sims. It is like bring us a game we can expand our imaginations with, not just confine it to the imagination I had as a kid. So far, I'm not convinced that the Sims 4 has offered enough than what the CAS demo offers for free. As a builder and someone that plays live mode, I feel alienated in this iteration. I guess that is my unpopular opinion is I find the Sims 4 alienates more Simmers than the Sims 3 did and players still face the Sims games breaking their computers, so this stifling the Sims for the sake of performance ended up hurting the franchise more than helping it and still managed to produce the same results for players complaining about their computer that don't even meet minimum specs yet again. So what was the point? I just hope that the Sims 4 has taught Maxis that selling Sims games with the same specs to run on both systems doesn't work. Bring back the Sims Life Stories series, so I can enjoy my gameplay and build modes again with a proper desktop version and offer a more confined version for laptop players again that doesn't hinder the desktop players anymore. With how technology is advancing and tablets replacing laptops in the Sims 4 game already, laptops will be a thing of the past like landlines are considered now. By the time the Sims 5 comes out, there might just be mobile, desktop, and console focus anyways since that is where the future of gaming is at.
