What is Gameplay to you?
I often read a lot of threads where people are saying there is not enough gameplay or they need to add more gameplay in packs. I have seen some examples but most of the time there is no real explanat...

I completely agree. I really think Sims 4 is great if you are a builder but really lacks in gameplay. I always loved playing the Sims because of the stories you could create and how the Sims had substance and depth. I miss having the ability to make stories, create or customize a neighborhood, the Wants and Fears, I miss the memory system, I even miss the burglars, and I really miss how things have consequences in the game, like if a Sim get cheated on they would steal your newspaper or knock down your trash. I will say I think Sentiments are a step in the right direction but I don’t feel like the resources and energy in the Sims team are being allocated correctly. I don’t like the emphasis on emotions because it’s like saying people are completely and utterly driven by emotions alone which I personally don’t agree with. I thought the Sims 3 did a better job with moods and Sims 2 just completely excelled at it all.
For me personally I am just disappointed in the content the Sims 4 team puts out. I feel like each new expansion or pack or kit is only playable for a few hours and is a cash grab. I found myself so disappointed in the games that I was spending so much money on these expansion with the mindset of “oh, this will make the game better,” but after a few hours it returned to being unplayable for me.
I honestly uninstalled the Sims 4 and just decided to pick it back up once the gameplay has been fixed or just completely drop it and wait and see what Sims 5 can offer. This is really disappointing to me because I really want to support the Sims franchise. I started playing the original Sims (some people call it Sims 1) when I was seven years old, and my sisters and I use to save up our allowance to purchase each expansion and new Sims games as they came out. But for me I’m just not getting anything out of the Sims 4 and I just can’t spend anymore time and money on it.
