Poor optimisation, it is the only thing Sims 4 does better than previous games and why I play it instead of those.
Sims 1,2 and 3 all run terribly once you install a few expansion packs.
This has always been dependent on your computer. Most issues I had disappeared with newer machines, at least until the games themselves became outdated.
My son got me Castaway Stories for Christmas, and although I thoroughly enjoyed playing it again, there were a lot of little things I certainly didn't miss dealing with.
In freeplay the game generated two of every Sim with the same name because the townie name pool is tiny. Because the terrain is mountainous, lots are difficult to fully build on, and there's no grabbing and dragging if you put a wall in the wrong spot. The music selection in build/buy was also tiny, even compared to regular Sims 2. Lastly, there's simply not much to do in freeplay.
