I think most here can agree that The Sims 4 ran its course many years ago, well before the 5 years of the prior Sims' games' life cycle. It's by far the weakest of the mainline series. If they don't a...

A wants and fears system with a meter would 100% get me playing the Sims 4 if it works just like the Sims 2. Low wants should give 100-1000 aspiration points. But most importantly, I want "Power Wants" that take some time to complete. I want specific Power Wants tied to the aspiration of the sim.
This may not be possible in the Sims 4, which is why I need a producer working on Sims 5 to really understand this point. There is an entire community of lost customers who no longer play or purchase Sims 4 products because the game does not work with our playstyle. We feel ignored. The wants and fears system is foundational to a wants-based playstyle. Sims 3 wants were too weak and small (no power wants) and there was no aspiration meter that added consequences. Whims in the Sims 4 is an abandoned feature.
Importantly, aspirations in the sims 4 are a misnomer: they are really Lifetime Wants. Renaissance Sim, Painter Extraordinaire, etc. are Lifetime Wants in Essense. The categories: Fortune, Popularity, Creativity are the core aspirations that should be selected by each sim...they are the high-level orientation of the sim and drives what types of wants and fears are rolled.
