Yes, ideally everything would have an on/off toggle. I fully admit that I'm unusual, and that I get overwhelmed by games that are too "big." I'm having trouble enjoying the new Pokemon games because they're open world. I dislike open world and prefer story progression to be more obvious and linear.
I don't expect the Sims team to cater to my needs. I understand that, in the end, they will go with what's profitable. I'm just sharing my opinion like everyone else. I would feel like something was amiss if I didn't even try.
