Morale is Rock Bottom? How do you feel about the state of the Sims

I gave up on this game with the release of Discover University. The only thing that keeps me going with this franchise is Sims 2. That's the only game I actually look forward to opening Origin for these days. I even take breaks from it but that's because I have other games to play on my phone and Switch. But when I get bored with those games, I come right back to Sims 2. Sims 3 or 4 don't excite me like 2 does.
