To me it is live mode is gameplay for all the ages. Little details like with the newest pack seeing kids do laundry or toddlers playing in the wash tub matter to me. I also love seeing toddlers do cute interactions with the cats and dogs too. It is those little sweet interactions between more than one Sim being that I love about the Sims and make the game feel like for the Sims rather than a single Sim so a bit closer to the Sims roots. I also love when unexpected events happen in live mode like with the idle streams Eliza Pancakes catching on fire with the dryer or Boozy playing play with the toy car in a surprising manner or the roomba DJ Suck Suck breaking and spewing trash all over the house. I just love when chaos happens.
Must confess I’m much more where @RnM92 is coming from. An animation is an animation, not gameplay. I have the same thing with autonomous behaviour. That’s not playing a game, that’s me watching a ‘game’. Someone playing play with a toy car or breaking and spewing trash is nice to look at once, maybe twice. Then it gets old, predictable, annoying even sometimes. Like @DeservedCriticism says: “They just sit there, poop on your couch and the new "gameplay" is you get to clean it up. Wow, real exciting.” That’s exactly it for me. And the reason I never buy washing machines in Sims 3. The piles of laundry everywhere where there’s not a basket is just annoying and nothing else.
