Cons ... They eventually die and turn into ghosts instead of going somewhere better.
.
Cons: Robotic sims.
Cons: The game becomes laggy with all of the EPs/SPs installed, Island Paradise EP had a world that was pretty much unplayable.
Cons: The sims themselves are as fleshed out as Sims 2 sims.
I've never suffered any kind of lag from EPs or SPs so I can't list that as a con.
Not being as low-poly as TS2.
Not being as annoyingly saturated as TS4.
Twinbrook's a dang cool world.
Cons: Made my GPA tank a few years ago.
Isla Paradiso's routing is as ugly as that world is beautiful. How cruel.

Cons: Lag, robotic sims, bad story progression, can't run the game without mods
Pros:
Open World
--Ability to edit lots without loading screens
--Ability to have one Sim at one lot and another Sim at another lot without having loading screens
Ability to have multi-level structures (garage on ground level, house on foundation)
Basements
Supernaturals (I love my supernaturals)
Create-a-style
Ability to edit the world
Create-a-World
Content!
Toddlers
Ability to distinguish between the various life stages
Different species (aliens, supernaturals, etc)
Worlds
Ability to truly play the game MY WAY
Sims that come to life (mine have never been robotic)
Mods! They are so fully fleshed out now that you can truly make the game your own
CC! Same as above.
Cons:
-Needs mods to run properly due to sloppy and half-baked coding (Sims 4 also has this issue).
-Hmmm....can't do rotational game play unless you install a mod and create castes to protect your families from the EA broken story progression. It likes to make everybody cheat and divorce after they've had an accident that resulted in a baby.
-Creating Sims can take a really long time if you have a bunch of CC and content.
-Broken store content that was never fixed and will never be fixed since it was abandoned (and that makes me very hesitant to purchase anything for Sims 4).
I've never had empty lots (even without mods) and I only have lag if I have pets installed so I don't list those as cons because I don't experience them.
I'll probably think of more later but that's it.....
Cons: Some features don't always work and can be laggy; the game has a lot of bugs.
Edit: I only said one of each, but... yeah.
Open world
CASt
Sims that allow you to lead their lifes the way you want to
Sims that look fairly realistic
The beautiful graphics
EP's with tons of story ideas
In short: freedom freedom freedom and creativity creativity creativity
Cons:
Bugs
CAS is too limited, it's very hard to create a variety of sims
The fact it often causes me going to bed way too late for my good

that is like my major reason for not getting sims 4 right now!!! i saved everything from the sims store on a flash drive. because as of right now i can't even log in there to access any of my store items!
Great idea!
thank you thread
con- rabbitholes, too many bugs/glitches, interactions took a step backwards from TS2.
So another pro....
Door looks!
I locked their bedroom door and selected "specify Sims" so only they could open it.
No more child intrusion to check under the bed for monsters.
Pros: Complexity of game play. So many interacting choices and opportunities. Amazing graphics.
Cons: Bugs and glitches caused by the above Pros. The need for mods to resolve these issues.
Cons: Glitchy worlds such as Isla Paradiso, bad coding. A lot of store content that should had been included in expansion packs. Greedy EA ¬¬
