What I Love About Sims 4 Is The Function Themselves!

The Sims 4 I consider to be a revamp of the franchise. A new beginning that people are robbing themselves of the experience because of some features that are not included. I for one am loving The Sims 4. One major reason is the smoothness and speed of the game. The function itself. Literally since release day I experienced no lagging! None! Sims 3 was 12 bugs a day with a side order of shut down but not only that but when my Sims go to sleep at night the fast forward speed is so fast I go through eight to nine hours in like 20 seconds while in Sims 3 I could knit you a sweater, make some waffles, iron my clothes, watch an episode of Sponge bob before I could get to the next day. Speed was so slow as fast forwarding in Sims 3. The motions of the Sims are no longer robotic but are fluid with great detail on posture, facial expressions, etc. I love how the game feels like a stranger to it's own franchise cause it's a lot more playable. What do you guys think?

If no lagging means a game so shallow and poor it loads fast, no, thank you.
If "smoothness" means a game where I have to struggle for 5+ hours to find something fun, I'll pass.
I used to fold laundry at those times before.
Anyway, I'm glad you're having a good experience with it. Unfortunately, I find that I have a hard time finding stuff to keep me entertained in TS4. There are some good aspects, but so far 3 was a better fit for me.
This.
This.
I the new look takes away a lot of unnecessary load on the graphics card but it still looks better than sims 3 to me. The artistic style and look really fits what the game is. And yes the sims themselves were such a surprise for me too. They are so much more fluid and natural. I use to roll my eyes every time i read that in sims 4 you could see emotions on the sims face and tell how they are feeling because i used to think that we have already seen that in sims 3 and even 2, but i was way wrong. They really do have emotions like we've never seen before.
And one more thing that absolutely blew me away was the multitasking feature. This should've been hyped up more. It makes them feel so much more real. I was playing my game and my sim was very hungry so he was sitting at a picnic table and eating. Suddenly I saw a sim in the distance whom I wanted my sim to meet but I didn;t want him t ostop eating. I was blown away when I saw my sim actually get up and take his plate with him and then stand there and eat and talk like a real person would (instead of always having to sit when eating).
I'm just falling in love with this completely revamped version of the game. I don't know why so many people are upset.
It's great you love it so much. Those of us who are upset don't feel the same because we have a different view about it.

My guess is that you have been tarred with the same brush as the people who have been less than respectful with their criticism.
There is a very vocal minority of complaining posters who refer to the people who were excited for TS4 as sheep, etc. It's a shame, because the people who respectfully voiced their concerns and criticisms were invaluable to me in deciding I wanted to purchase the game. I bought it having a pretty good idea what to expect, mostly due to posters who questioned things and posted their concerns. Despite that, I have avoided the complaint threads for the last couple of weeks, because I grew heartily tired of being told I was blindly following hype, and not making and informed decision based on my own playstyle and the information at hand.
So TL;DR : Because a small number of other complainers have said they don't understand how anyone could like it, people are justifying why they like it to anyone that doesn't. It's a viscious self-feeding cycle.
