@Cinebar i may go off topic for a bit but some simmers like me welcome the fact that the sims4 is diffrent i do not know if you remember the sims2 trailer that they made the very first time that i am reposting here was it what we expected when they finaly realsie the sims2 well no
in the end its not for us simmers to decide how the game is made it can happen mid production that they have to make mid production some major changes to the game this is what happen with the sims4.
now back on topic me in my case do not see the sims4 as lacking we need to learn patiance and wait for the missing content to return even if its via a patch dlc gamepack or stuffpack or ep patience is the keyword here.
Ya what ever happened to the sims swinging on the ceiling fans I wanted that I was expecting it because it was in the trailer LOL But we never got it.

You just don't seem to get it. I assume that when you say missing content you're talking about places for Sims to go like the spa, on vacation or stuff like washers and dryers. It's not what so many of us are talking about. We are talking about bad, shallow and lack of creative game play.
I do have to add though....that TS2 trailer might have had some differences in it and the actual game....but trailers are like that....and sure was closer to the truth than this........this trailer didn't even show game play and now I think I know why.

I can play other stuff while I wait, however, I would like some of my gameplay to return sooner than later. I have to go back to the other games to actually have 'fun'. I do like to build in this game but sometimes I get frustrated because it is limited even more than the other games even though it's easy to drag a box. But very annoying to have to use flat boxes (porch) for roof so there won't be any holes in a build when I could have done that by hitting shift click and one tile choice. So, it also has some annoying features. I won't mention the Lack Of roof choices.
If I can't play haunted grave yard (because of culling). Evil Sim who electrocutes, starves, drowns etc. in this game I have to return to the others to do that. Again another play style missing. Where ghosts haunt for a living instead of cooking and using the bathroom.
If I can't play families where they 'remember' grandma and grandpa (again the culling) then that's a second or third play style missing.
I can't play a guy in the military or many other careers missing because they aren't in the base game. I have to be painter boring or a writer boring to watch a Sim type all day, etc. So, there are many careers not in the game for my Sims to do.
I can't run a home business build or make anything to sell other than food but can't sell it at home to customers, another play style gone missing.
I can't play like my Sim is homeless and miserable because he/she is always happy and doesn't really need to do anything at all to get happy.
I have so many playstyles that can't be done in this game and then my creativity cramped by the lack of building tools that add to my way of playing my imagination I can only say glad you enjoy it but how many years before I can play any of this I just mentioned. Probably never..and I won't even bring up a full family with toddler.

If you're sick of people bashing the game you could just ignore the thread…especially considering the main topic of it is the shortcomings of TS4 >_>
It says lacking and I am allowed to express my opinion in any post.
Yes, but I'm sure you can find something to add to this topic that maybe gurus will read someday to find out what bothers players and why and you could add a few things yourself that you think it lacks in some areas. Surely it's not picture perfect for you either, or you would never need one more thing for it, and could play it the next ten years just as it is and never get bored or tired of it and never add one more tidbit of anything. I think it's more realistic to add what you can to a topic to make sure gurus know it's not all that but needs improved and things added that everyone could enjoy. Candy coated posts don't get very far, if you haven't noticed. I doubt we would have the changes we have seen if we had all been super sugary.
And in addition to that, "CC will fill the gaps" is not going to work for me. CC is meant to spice a game up, not to save it.

So while you were waiting for a detail, one animation, others where playing their hearts out with that game.

I was playing it. I was just disappointed with the false advertising.

You say you don't care about playstyle but clearly you do. You have a clearly defined playstyle that by the grace of your gaming gods didn't get trampled. If EA had decided on mandatory aging and death, I would bet you would be singing a different tune. Be thankful your play style is still supported and you know, maybe support others whose play style was thrown out or negatively impacted instead of coming off so smug and disagreeable all the time.

Apparently your creative and my creative are two entirely different things. I've seen you post about things you have your Sims do and I can see why you don't feel the same as I do.
I try to explore all aspects of a game and that includes a Sim from birth to death. I want them to experience all the creative things the game will allow and so far this game does not allow a lot.

See that guy dropping from the sky with a basketball in his hand. I've seen this basketball on some promotional material.
I'm calling it now, they made basketball available in the base game, then cut it out. It will turn up in a future game/expansion pack. The base game seemed light on content, because so much was held back for expansion packs. It's content made and cut out to sell you back at a later date. Same with the worlds from Get Together. They didn't come as a surprise because the draft shots were seen over a year ago before the game was even released for purchase.
That Sims 2 advert, yep, that was such an early build that most things got dropped, including the actual look of the sims, and that's if you don't account for the fire that supposed destroyed a ton of stuff.
