Memories:
I believe the key area where The Sims 4 lacks depth in it's gameplay is the lack of a memory system.
A lot of people have said they feel there aren't enough consequences in the game, however I personally feel that without memories, there aren't any. Emotion buffs and sentiments work in the short term, but our sims seem to forget everything that's happened to them as soon as the sentiment or buff disappears, leaving no real consequence or evidence of most interactions.
If a sim makes a new friend, they should have a memory of that! If a sim has a baby, gets married, loses a loved one, attends a festival, etc, that should stay with them forever! Sims should automatically remember these interactions and events for the rest of their life.
If I as the player could go to a tab and see all my sims memories and look back on the things my sim has done and what they've accomplished, that would bring so much more depth to the game. Sims could even be able to reminisce and talk about these events, maybe elder sims could share stories about their old memories with their grandchildren!
