Because of the more family/kid friendly direction of the Sims 4, I'm betting the next iteration of the game (Sims 5) will be even more geared towards that same demographic and will have hardly any (if at all) supernatural/occult/hi-jinks type of gameplay. We're already seeing that partially play out in the Sims 4 with such a lack of occult/supernatural DLC's, the reduction of humourous consequences.... and more importantly, the nerfing out of these things when they have been added because of the larger, louder audience demands on social media to get rid of them.
You put this remarkably well. The Sims has lost its edge over time, especially with 4. I'm concerned with how the future of The Sims will play out, and I haven't even been playing it for that long. I think this is
really apparent with the prose: it feels extremely simplified when compared to older titles. I mean, at least it's not like Forza Horizon 5's...
