I talked about this last month as well, but if I could change one feature, it would be jobs/careers in the game. Virtually every other feature has changed from The Sims til now, or is changing in The Sims 4 but careers are largely the same. Your Sim is hired, usually at the entry level, and builds skills and friends to climb to the tenth level in the career track. This model is really unrealistic, which is itself forgivable because this is a video game. But, this is the same model the games have used for the past fourteen years, when virtually everything else in the series has been modernized or changed altogether. I think a game that abandons the idea of "career tracks" would be much more dynamic and enjoyable.
