I'm sorry but that Ferris Wheels, The Haunted House and Tunnel Of Love Objects that came with High School Year is a joke!
The Sims doesn't get any mood no fun, thrilled seekers, or Scary mood from it.
All of the above plus the fact that once you buy something you are not constantly dunned for more cash to keep on playing. Sorry I am playing on an iPad as computer out for repairs and tried some truly awful free to play games they have in the App Store. Really sad this is trending as it is most definitely not my cup of tea.

Since discovering that so much of what I thought was cool about sims4, was done earlier, and better, in sims3 and sims2, it took some of the shine off, but at least I can think more clearly about what sims4's unique and original contributions are.
Get Together, with the City of Windenberg and the colorful and interesting townies plus the club forming ability that makes group gatherings so easy. My favorite thing about sims4 that brings me back to it no matter what.
Other unique new benefits that sims4 brought to the table, that weren't recycled from previous games:
More freedom of orientation, relationship types, and gender expression, along with recognition that gender=/=sex. That's huge.
Attractive sims. Sims3, 🙄amiright?
High School Years making school not a rabbithole, was a first for the franchise.
The ability to go to Sixam, even if it isn't large and only has one buildable lot, it's still a wonderful step forward for Alien enthusiasts like me.
Cute toddlers.
That's all I can think of, off the top of my head, for things that weren't already done (and often done better) in previous versions, so these are things I'm grateful for that make sims4 shine, uniquely.
I'm thankful for the existence of sims 4 and thankful to the team put so much love and dedication into it despite the hard time we often give them as players.
If it's true that this game started as an online failure and was rushed into what it is now i'm even more thankful because against all the odds they have made something beautiful. It might not be perfect but nothing in life ever is.
Seriously the #1 game in the world (for me) that has brought me years of fun. I'm honored to play it. And will be playing for years to come even after it's end.
As for specific things I'm thankful for the list is too long 😅 but just to name a few I'm thankful that they went all out on werewolves. Made them feel wild, savage and dangerous. Sims running scared of my werewolf is Excellent 😈
I'm thankful that they are trying to add more life to the worlds and give us little bonuses like Greg and his hideout, or the amusement park. It really adds a lot to it and gives us fun stuff to mess around with without having to hit a loading screen.
I'm thankful for the household manager that thing is the best ever.
Thankful for the gender options because I have made some of my best sims playing around with it for different looks and body types.
Thankful for the highschool pack because I just never thought we would get highschool after uni and that's awesome 😅 The contents are great.
Thankful that ts4 is nothing like roblox and similar games. I don't care how much people complain about pack prices, it cannot compare to the level of greed and wasted money on virtual nonsense like roblox. Yes I play roblox and have fun with my friends or niece on there pretty often, but everytime I play I'm thankful for the way ts4 is. 😆
Thankful they allow custom content and how easy and smooth it is to add and use it! Really opens up a world if endless options.
Thankful they added little things like sims cooking together, hiking together, attending class together, slow dancing together and all of these little detailed togetherness things adds a lot to my gameplay because I really only do things that sims can do together ❤ Hope to see more of this like holding hands and skating together. These moments are precious.
Thankful they stopped adding vacation worlds we can't live in and now gave us the option!
Thankful for the gallery because I love it. So many amazing creations and sims to discover.
Thankful for the emotions and sentiments. And happy that they are always trying to add layers to sims personality. It may never be perfect and always have some issues but I acknowledge that they are trying. And despite what many people say, Ts4 sims have pretty fun, unique and individual personalities if we utilize all the options we have so far. Yes they will act "emotionally" the same but they do act differently in other ways according to their traits, get famous traits (love those), occult traits, childhood traits, and other things.
KEEP ADDING TO THE SENTIMENTS SIMS TEAM! THEY ARE EXCELLENT! 😁
Art Style & color - I feel that there’s a good balance between cartoonesque and realism. Love the vibrant colors.
Animations - some true gems in there such as Mountain climbing and yoga. And the moving curtains. After 6+ years I’m still staring at them.
World Design - Yes, I wish I could build my own, but - to be fair to be fair - the existing worlds are gorgeous.
Sound Design - the sound of rain and thunderstorms and the bubbling cauldron calms me down. The sounds of chickens both in game and in real life make me chuckle. Chuckle worthy cluck clucks so they are. They’re such odd birds. Chickens.
Gameplay systems:
The gameplay and perk tree systems that came with various packs e.g. the Get Together club system and the occult lifestate perk trees.
CAS push / pull system.
Build mode.
Multitasking.
The SIMS 3 camera, cinema mode & first person mode. I will never understand how people can enjoy the Sims 4 camera. It’s so very limiting! No wonder so few care about ceilings. 😆
Every single occult & adventure / quest pack. Oh Ok, Werebeasts.
Other:
The Custom music folder.
The Gallery.
Straight forward modding (at least that’s a yay woohoo for PC).
Special Mention:
Journey To Batuu. It’s True. I’m giving this gamepack a special mention because not that many folks seem to care (in fact, despise it) but I mainly play with adventurous scoundrel sims (in and outside of Batuu) and most of my builds are chock full of Batuu items. I still love this pack for all the right reasons. 😇 ❤️
I have to say I'm thankful for CAS because it's easier to create a sim even without mods and CC. I am also kind of grateful to Build and Buy to a point. I like that I can have different height walls, and hot tubs don't take up space underground or under the previous floor.
Playtesting - not just tabletop games and card games any more. Really that should have been playtested in Beta and not [img]just with accounting and marketing but actual players. https://i.imgur.com/t48COW6.jpg[/img]
