What are your unpopular TS4 opinions?
One of mine would be that I love the names City Living added. I've heard many simmers complain too many Sims have Asian names now, but I'm glad my game is no longer filled with Sallys and Schmidts.

All the sims err'day
San Myshuno is my least favorite world.
They should leave babies exactly as they are and focus on other things.
My main family adopted a boy with Indian heritage -- the game named him Jeremiah but I changed it to Sumit which means "good friend" but he ended up with a Mean Streak as a teen and fought with his brother Edgar (adopted as a baby and turned out to be black; Afri-Sim?) and they ended up disliking each other. (He went through a lot of phases so he obviously had some issues.)
My unpopular opinion is that I really don't miss the open world of Sims 3; I prefer the loading screens to watching a taxi or car drive down the road, then stop and the Sim ends up running up a hill to get to his/her ultimate destination. Or watching a building while my Sims are inside eating or working or going to school. I wouldn't mind the neighborhoods being more open so you can visit the neighbors without a loading screen though.

As for me, my first unpopular opinion would be that I couldn't care less about pets. At first I thought they would be less stressful in TS4 because we can't control them, but no, they constantly have to fill up sims' queues (but I think this one's a bug).
I also don't care about babies being improved upon. It's the lifestage I'm caring the least about and I usually age them to toddlers asap.
Open world is another thing I literally hate. It makes rotational play impossible to do because sims from inactive households are constantly doing something which can mess up storylines badly. With a non-open world, this can happen too but less frequently and only when inactive sims are currently on the same lot.
Actually, I really don't care much about the popular expansions everyone is/was constantly asking for (Pets, Seasons, University). I'm SO glad the first two are already released so people don't annoy with this anymore. My most unpopular opinion still has to be that I really want a time travel pack like in TS3, one in which you can choose between the past and the future (but future is still more important for me).

I'm not sure if its an unpopular or a popular one tho
I'm not a big fan of cats and dogs.
I don't care about open world. Nor do I care about loading screens.
I don't like the Goths. Their story is a bit played out for me.
I cannot stand the Pancakes.
2. blocky eyelashes are great
3. Farming, as well as University and other types of education related themes are boring and uninspired
4. "It's easy to address this problem yourself" (as mentioned above in regards to names) isn't a good solution to a problem. I don't want to spend what is supposed to be my leisure time fixing things.

1.normal life length is a tad too short, and I feel long is overkill. There needs to be a medium between them, like “kinda long, but not too long.”
2. I feel like maybe I’m the ONLY simmer that plays without any mods or CC. Idk, I feel like I enjoy the game enough without them, and am lazy about having to fix them every time there is a game update, so I just don’t have them.
3. I LOVE CAS. The only thing I really miss is more hair color options, like in Sims3 you could create your own personal hair colors and I had a very many with highlights and ombré and things like that.
4. We need more jobs! We need more jobs. Please, just patch in more job options, and more aspirations, cause I’m tired of these. More traits wouldn’t hurt either honestly. I feel like I could probably make a list of ones you could use.
5. The dogs in pets suck, and need way more attention than they should. I’m a dog person, but in this game my main households only own cats cause I can’t deal with the amount of work the dogs are.
6. Sims4 is better than sims3. I said it, you can hate me for it, but idk, I feel like this game has more... playability than sims3 to me. Loading screens don’t bother me at all.
7. I bought all the supernaturals, and I never play them in my game and find them useless to the story I am telling. Maybe that might change so I love having the option, but I have no clue why I bought vampires, or get to work, cause I don’t use the aliens, the follow to work, or vampires. Maybe I just wanted the stuff that came with them. Idk.
1. I liked the careers when they originally released Sims 4 (before they patched them to make it easier to level up).
2. I don't enjoy any additions that make the game easier (for example - bonus traits for getting toddlers to skill level 3 or 5).
3. I'm not a fan of CC.
(this topic already exists by the way)
2. I regret buying the Get Together EP.
3. I don't care for Cats & Dogs.
There I said it!
Maybe the two posts can be combined?

Who should I tag to get them merged?
To be honest, I am not quite sure.

Just a totally off topic question @JoAnne65, but how do you post a link with your own text like you did in your post? I looked everywhere for this option but I have no clue how to do it
As for open world, I hope they make open neighborhoods/districts (bigger than those in TS4) in the next game, that's a piece of everyone's cake. Good for those who don't want an open world for various reasons, and a good alternative for those who want an open world.

I rarely play any of the premades -- in fact in my current save I deleted all the premades and added in Sims from some of my other saves plus some downloads from the gallery, I've been adding in some of the premades after makeovers, like the Pancakes and the Landgraabs (I have a Sim in the Culinary career in one of my played households and it didn't seem right not to have Bob there).
Another unpopular opinion: My First Pet is actually not that bad for a stuff pack. If you ignore the marketing campaign and that a lot of the items are very derivative of Cats & Dogs, the animals themselves are kind of cool. I like the little notifications about their hijinks, and chidren can Study Rodent and it counts as their homework so it's a nice change of pace from working in the workbook.
Some of them do peek in occasionally, but I can answer the question. Type in the word or phrase you want to link, like Carl's guide, then go to the page, highlight the address and right-click to select Copy. Then highlight the phrase you want to make a link and select the Link button (the one to the right of the Emojis) and you'll have a space to paste the link so it comes out like so:

2. i prefer the furniture styles in ts2 and 3, a lot of the sims 4 furniture is either too fancy, too modern, or too colorful, and i usually only build normal cozy family houses
3. i don't mind cc (even though i can't use it anymore bc it takes up my computer) but it looks horrible in game most of the time
4. i'd like a school related pack but i don't wanna go to school with my sims. also i like university but i hope there will be a way for sims to go from home because i play with families and i don't want to take long breaks in between generations

2) I do not like occult sims and never play them.
3) I don’t mind that apartments aren’t buildable in sims 4. I find the Pre-Built ones plenty to keep me occupied and enjoy decorating them.
4) I prefer a lot of sims 4 to sims 3. Like some else here said, I find it more playable. I have an easier time storytelling how I want in sims 4 than sims 3. But sims 3 was still a great game!
5) I don’t care if they add cars or not.
