-The Sims lack personality because WE were supposed to be the personality ie my interactions with NPCs would be with other Simmers rather than premade Sims. The Sims are really just empty avatars due to the team building on an online platform. That's why for example with Eco Lifestyle the NAPS just take over any non controllable sims because in the base game there's nothing behind those sims when you aren't directly controlling them.
I have thought the exact same thing. If the game was online there would have been no need for a robust AI because all interactions with other sims would be you interacting with another RL person controlling that other sim. That's why I'm hoping that EA is truly not crazy enough to try it again with TS5, otherwise we're going to end up with Sims 4.5 when it has to be scrapped because it failed.
