The Sims 4 needs some serious updates and needs some packs that can add those missing chunks of game play. It's the simple things that are missing. We need babies that are actual Sims, more toddler stuff, family game play, better vacations and just more real life details. The survey that the Sims team did recently about what we would like to see in the future was right on the mark with a lot of things. We need more substance in interactions and variations on how those interactions are received. One thing I find frustrating about the Sims 4 is how easy it is to romance or befriend everyone. My Sims rarely encounter resistance. It's just too empty and unrealistic. So anything that helps improve on that is welcome in my opinion. saving. There has been so much negativity surrounding it I feel I need a breath of fresh air. I am so ready for the Sims 5. I understand why a lot of people aren't since we have all spent so much time and money on the Sims 4, but I am ready for the next game. At this point I feel like the amount of work needed on the Sims 4 to make it better could be better spent on making a new game that could be all that and more from the very beginning. I love the Sims 4, but it's at the point where I am questioning if it is even worth I would love a new game. And the mention of multiplayer makes me so incredibly happy. The Sims 2 on PS2 was split screen multiplayer and playing the Sims like that are some of my best memories. I got to share that whole experience with my siblings and I would not trade those years for anything. I don't want a fully multiplayer game, but the option to play with others would be awesome.
