The Sims 4: A Great Game, But It's Not Perfect!

The Sims 4 (released 2014) is a life sim legend! It's incredibly popular. Yet even this game has serious room for improvement; that existing popularity doesn't automatically guarantee an amazing sequel. Many newer life sims showed just what is needed to elevate the experience for future games. The base game offers the essentials, but is still somewhat limited, particularly those creative tools; even the customization has some limited tools. The game allows creation of unique characters and homes but those smaller gameplay elements, such as seasons and many other additional game elements would further expand it; that alone makes it much more interesting and much more unique. Those possibilities are what might make its successor so popular. Many new releases showcase exactly what's needed for those future versions!

The Sims 4's 70+ DLCs show its expansion potential, adding features like landlord gameplay and horse ranches. But there's even more to explore, using those lessons gleaned from those really creative titles already out there; games showcasing impressive game design ideas!

This demonstrates just how critical jobs could possibly become for generating new plot hooks for any players; creating those deep relationships.
