Why Are Laptops So Clunky?

Sims 3 laptops are better still.
For example you cannot close them, they're always on and open. The mouse is always out too. You cannot sit on the ground and use them either. You also have to place it on a counter, table, or desk by click and dragging it out of your Sim's inventory. You cannot select it from the inventory and Sims will not autonomously use them from their inventory. You have to click and drag it from the surface to your inventory and vice versa. Its a hassle and showcases how god awful Sims 4 laptops are in comparison to a 2009 game. They really just shoehorned in laptops at the last minute which act just like normal desktop computers in The Sims 4 with Strangerville.
In Sims 3 you can use them anywhere and Sims can pull them out of their inventory whenever. Also depending if you're sitting down on the ground or sitting on a chair at a surface like a desk, table, counter, etc. you had different interactions with the laptop. Your Sim would actually pick it up, set it down, open it up, close it, hear the sounds of the laptop powering on and off. So much detail for a 2009 game compared to a 2014 game.
TL;DR
Sims 3 laptops are laptops while Sims 4 laptops are reskinned desktops.

But sims in 2019 I feel should be able to sit anywhere on the floor. With or without laptop.
