In the original Sims game fires were devastating, if you managed them poorly there's a chance they would spread massively, they could literally grow from one tile to seven or eight in an instant. The reason for them being so disastrous was because Will lost his own home to a fire.
The Sims 4 tries so hard not to interrupt the player and in that fashion it stops being a life simulator. In real life things interrupt people all the time, we all have plans and dreams but often things and drama come up to muddle that all up. The Sims 4 doesn't reflect that at all.
There were even different failure states for different age groups. Teen Sims in 2 would run away if they became very upset for several days, for instance. If they had low aspiration bars they would start misbehaving more as well.
i agree with this.. to me sims 4 should be a rating for younger players not teen and over.. have they forgot that a ton of players started with the sims 1 in 2000 and most of us are adults and we need some challenges and some true detail in game play or else i have to retire to just the sims 2 and hope that i can continue to play it for many more years to come..
they advertised better weirder more lively sims from the start but never delivered i wish that i could place sims 2 sims into the sims 4
I have had weird things happen in the Sims 4 but it might have been because of a mod. But my sims brother and his wife came over and the brother was flirting with his brothers wife. It turned disastrous.
My Sims die easier and I need to be a lot more careful with my decisions in The Sims 2. It's quite great. The random events, the burglars, repo men, "furious" at Sim, etc...
I was very disappointed in the Sims we actually got. Still am. They do not resemble the Sims we were told we would be getting at all. I don’t know how the developers spent over a year talking the same points when all it took was opening the game to figure out that none of that was true.

I hear ya and I want consequences too.
I wish I had the pictures, but the funniest thing ever that I had experienced in the Sims is when I play five sims through The Sims 2 University and four of them had hooked up into couples. But two of them I had been flirting with the other sims outside there relationship trough all four years of University. I decided to let them have a fling on the final day of Uni.
After graduating, I moved them all together in a temporary household, so they could get their careers started.
Out on the curb, the first thing the two cheaters do is kiss in front of their partners. The ensuing slap-fest was hysterical, especially for the fifth wheel guy who looked on them in utter shock. And it wasn't that silly playful slap we get in The Sims 4. These sims were angry. And it didn't simply disappear as it never happened. They had to work through it and get their relationships back on track.
I agree as the Sims was supposed to be initially an way to escape RL and more of an parody. However, for me Sims 4 needs something else other than RL situations.
The problem is, that this game is really toxic... Yes, right now it is wrong, when bad decisions bring no consequences. The Sims chaeats - no reaction really, the Sim bring home other Sim baby - nothing, the Sim is mean for another - no problem really. It is boring and, for worse, what a lesson for younger players? This is a family picture?
I repeat myself - I do not recommend teen kids TS4 for sure.
When You play The Sims in a happy, ethic style - it's ok, You don't have dramas and this is fair.
But when You start play in no ethical way - this is Your decision and You must fell the consequences, instead this game no make sense for me. And, ethically, it's wrong!

People should really think about things like that. The same goes for the "funny random assaults" in Windenburg (which was added intentionally- for "amusement").
I'm very sorry for Your friend. I think that many of us have traumatic, bad experiences.
But games are full of tragedies and brutality. I'm a private teacher of Polish language and literature and most of my students (every age) playing in brutal games and the parents do not know about that (each, most of them do know really, but they do not reacting)...
The Sims is a funny, cartoonish game - always was. Maybe the deaths of Sims were not very funny, but most of their "adventures" were more like "Tom&Jerry style violence, like hit him with this huge hammer from Your pocket". This is not the problem, I think.
Ech, I have problem with English language... I think, that the major reason for Ts4 "emptiness" is the situation, when the game starts be more "alive". There is no problem for parents to see their children watch brutal cartoon (it's only a cartoon, no problem), but when the kids starts to watch movies, for example soup operas with "adult dramas" like complicated romances, cheats, divorces et cetera, the parents think, that this is not good for the kids. Maybe this is a reason, why EA do not want to make "deeper" life simulation, cancel some older solutions and cut the relationships between Sims to minimum.
But for me this is a dead end for this game and only brings more damages. Because still we have life simulation, still we can cheats but without consequences of ours decisions the results are even worse - for younger ones and for us, adult players, who wants to play with life in our own way and do not die from boredom.
To feel happiness You must feel some pain too to see the real difference, BTW.

IMHO, if one of the base game highlights is "Smarter Sims" and whatnot, each pack should try to expand the AI and personality of Sims in some regard. Yet, they're selling packs that are essentially focused entirely on the world around our Sims, when this is a closed world setup, and that's all set dressing.

I despise reality TV shows. I haven't watched a soap opera in twenty years because it is just same drama with the same people unless it is a telenovela then we are talking about something different...lol
Anyway, making the sims more alive doesn't always have to be about drama. Good Sims should never want to be around evil sims. An evil sim should not even be able to talk to them without getting a negative reaction and vice versa. An attraction system would be nice. I feel like I can marry any sims with any other sim even if they have conflicting traits. It should be much harder for those sims to get along not to mention fall in love.
In sims 2, Sims could be attracted to each other on the physical level such as like each other's hair color and skill level but when they speak they could have different interest level and talking would decrease the relationship. The sims in Sims 4 are very one note and everything happens based on 9 emotions that all the sims have no matter what the trait.
