Hi sims team :) for me, there are two things I would like to see to add depth to the game. The first is an attraction system! I don't have any particular thoughts on how the actual system could work, since there are a lot of different ways to approach attraction, but one is sorely needed in the game! Both Sims 2 and Sims 3 had one and both are better for it - attraction systems created challenge, conflict, and interesting gameplay that just isn't present in the Sims 4. I hope you'll consider it!
The second is story progression! Households that have been played with but aren't the active household should still progress beyond just aging. They should build skills, make friends, advance in careers and school, start romantic relationships (based on the attraction system!), and have kids without the player telling them to. I do think there should be a way to turn story progression off if it gets implemented, the same way aging can be turned off. I think story progression is something that would benefit most players, both people who play with one household only and those who do rotational play. It's hard to micromanage an entire save's worth of sims, especially if you're planning to do several generations in one save and need to make sure new sims are being born. I hope that makes sense and I hope you'll consider it! Thanks!
