Sims 4 is out what's the scoop?
Grimma:
So if you can't prettify your sims' wardrobe and interior design with CAS, and you can't do story progression, just WTF is the point of this game? Do EAxis not know that playing Sims is basically playing dollies? >:(

You forgot the teeny, tiny neighborhoods with no room for expansion and no world editor to plop down space for extra lots.

This was posted on a Sims 4 forum:
What prevented me from even considering the game was fact that over half the development time was spent working on a online version of the game before they decided not to go that route and only had 1 - 2 yrs to switch to single player offline game. The game clearly shows it was meant to be online and still has the limited engine, hence no terrain editing tools, no pools, loading screens, small worlds, and all lots flat. It's clear they ran out of time to add anything but what you have now. I'm not forking over $60+ to fund another EA mistake. The game may get better in the future with EP and so on, but the base game alone should be enough to keep one entertained for as long as you want to play it without having to add an EP or SP to it, but, according to my friends who bought it, it doesn't.
Although I didn't buy the game and don't plan to, I have several friends who have and all have returned them via Origin. The main complaints were after several hours they ran out of things to do, only one play style now, toddlers tied to the crib was a killer for one of my friends. Too many bugs and clipping for a $70 game and family/legacy style play is almost non-existent.

I will not be buying this nor procuring it (it is really an EA ripoff) until they fix it. They should never have published it until it was ready. Who am I kidding, it's EA. >:(

No-way am I buying Sims 4; I might try it when there is a fully working scene release, but for now I'll avoid it.
Sims 3 is still my favourite, but I'm frequently being hampered by that 3gb 32bit barrier, and that really kills the game for me; it needs something like the enb wrapper for Skyrim that shifts assets away from the main .exe, but I doubt that will ever happen; I'm assuming this is why they went back to the single loaded lot style of Sims 2 to reduce on using memory and thus, not require a 64bit .exe; I'd rather play Sims 2 if I was going to go back to single lots.

On the official site, SimGuruGrant is asking what people want in story progression. He says the game already has some degree of story progression (he's probably referring to the fact that inactives age and die), and adding to it shouldn't be a problem. Though whether it'll be patched in for free, or we'll have to pay for it, hasn't been confirmed.
