The Sims 4 was an online game forced to be single player. That's why it's so broken. Lots have to be instanced, unlike 3, because they were basically lobbies for players. Showing them all would have been too much data.

This isn't to say The Sims 5 would have been good but, assuming it was single player from the start, it couldn't have been worse. I would have pirated it probably.
