From a player's point of view, it's equally telling how I shifted from playing only one main family and telling a deep story with them to playing about 15 households on rotation and switch to another familiy every Sim week in order to keep myself entertained.
It's not even that I don't love TS4, I just wish they would focus on gameplay and depth instead of only visuals.
