The Sims in the mainstream media

I like to do my own thing. I've found Sims 4 allows the player to have more control over what happens in their game than the other Iterations. I like the level of control Sims 4 has given me. I can do what I want. I agree with you that it seems they want it all to unfold for them. I've even seen people complain that there's no drama and if they want drama they have to make it happen. Well, I think if someone wants drama in their game they should have to make it happen. I don't want drama in my game and I certainly don't want it forced on me just because someone who wants it in their game is too lazy to make it happen themselves. The whole point of the Sims is that the player chooses what happens in their game and how their stories play out. Having the game do it for us would be taking away that creative freedom that we currently have in the Sims 4.

@Sallycutecat I don't understand it when people say you can't do what you want in the previous games. Of course you can, you always could. In which way did the previous games restrict you from doing that? Can you give an example?
In the previous games you made all the choices like I mentioned in my previous post.

In the Sims 4 I find even if you want to make the drama happen, it doesn't happen. You have to imagine so much because a lot of things just don't happen. When I decide to cheat in a relationship for drama to happen, it's so mild it's almost nothing. Like I'm trying to get sims to not like each other and I can't no matter how much I try. The Sims 4 doesn't allow for creative freedom at all in my opinion, it simply forces you to imagine the things you want to happen because it doesn't do it.
