My major issue with it at the moment is that it spawns too many Asian sims. By the second generation of my game, just about all the spawned sims are Asian or Arabic.
This is one of my bug bears.
Other issues:
I love apartments in the sims 2 and 3 (although I do prefer 2) and I was excited about the apartments in city living. Even though I was frustrated that we couldn't build our own. What frustrates me about CL apartments is they aren't an improvement over the sims 2 and really they should be. Neighbours in CL are ALWAYS loud and annoying. There doesn't seem to be any real rhyme or reason to it. They also have no boundaries. My sim has a bad relationship with her neighbours and their bad are full red but it doesn't stop the neighbours barging in to my sims apartment and hanging out for hours. My sim is mean to them and slaps them and throws drinks on them but they still insist on hanging on and they thank my sim for the nice time when they leave.
I miss the landlord. I know there is a landlord in the sims 4 but he doesn't seem as useful as the sims 2 land lords. The sims 2 landlords were there on the lot during the day, if something broke you could have the land lord fix it. I don't see that option with the sims 4 landlords they only appear to fix certain things.
I hate the fake city back drops. Yes it's pretty but its style over substance. It was this element that forced me firmly back over to the sims 3. At least when they look out their apartment windows, the buildings they can see are actual lots they can visit. It's functional pretty.
The city itself just seems empty. In terms of community lots we get another gym and another bar. Where are the shops? Where is the cinema? I was really disappointed by the festivals. They don't bring anything new to the table. Go into space? My sim can do that at home. Hack things? Again an existing activity. The spice festival I hoped we would have eating competitions back but it's nothing like the eating contests before.
The game just feels lack lustre. I hate to say it but it does. I am just disappointed I fell for the hype.
