The Sims 4 is kinda less about expanding the franchise and sort of more adding depth to the current system. Like The Sims 3 Lifetime Aspiration has one goal, where this has like 10 goals etc.

& thats exactly it. Other that CAS/Build Mode & Emotions(which can be argued) it feels like they added nothing. I cant remember who said it, I think it may have been IGN, "the sims 4's biggest problem is the sims 3 exists."
If the sims 3 didnt exist the sims 4 would definitely would have gotten a lot more praise, despite missing features that TS2 has (pools, toddlers, stores etc) it would still have been looked at a huge step foward. Something new & exciting.
TS4 will probably be amazing a few EPs in, when they add stuff that should have been in base game & hopefully NEW things that we've never had before, everyone will probably love it.
I never said that TS3 is exempt from being boring. It got boring for me much quicker than TS2, but not as fast as TS4 (though, to be fair, I never bought the EP's for the game as they released which may be why). But it's pretty fair to make the presumption that most people are getting bored of TS4 much quicker than any previous game judging by the fan and critic reception of the game and that was only within a week of release.
