What is Your Biggest Criticism About Sims 4?

There's not enough cross pack compatibility.

Yes, I think I need to add this to my biggest criticism since it's been once again highlighted with the latest update. The game is old and bloated with DLC. They expect you to buy all these packs but then feel no need to make them work together in a meaningful way. If they did it would justify the money spent a little more but instead it feels, like said, that they just bloat the game i.e. adding a feature which is then detached from everything else, instead of actually organically growing and developing your game (you know, like a proper expansion). Adding wants & fears while ignoring 8 years of content (since only the base game and future stuff is considered) is just... I don't even know what to say.

Also, apparently there isn't even compatibility with Parenthood and High School Years which is asinine to say the least. Watched a Youtuber specifically test this. She got a sim drop out of school, even got an in-game message how "parents are going to be SO disappointed, how can you face them?" aaaand... there was nothing. Same thing with getting caught while sneaking out. Sure the parents react but you can do absolutely nothing with Parenthood options like punish the teen by grounding them.
