I'm sorry no, TS4 does not give the player more control. What it is infamous about is it never presents the player with any life simulation situations like TS2 or even TS3 did.
It's not a life simulator because we all know stuff happens in life we were not expecting...and in real life we have to deal with it. TS4 has very little of this type of life simulation.
The Sims 4 is a game. It was never intended to replicate real life. For me Sims 4 is an escape from having to deal with unexpected events that happen in real life. I can plan what will happen in the game and it usually goes exactly how I planned. I don't have some unexpected event ruin it all for me. I do not find things not going to plan fun at all. To have such a thing happen would be taking away player control.
@Sallycutecat It's meant to simulate life though. It's a life simulator. Life is unexpected.
