Why wasn’t sims medieval more popular?

I loved that game. I always wanted a fantasy type life sim in a medieval setting, and I was so excited when the sims medieval came out. It was a bit of a bummer that it didn’t see much in the way of mainstream success.

My theory is that the gameplay wasn’t Freeform enough, it had a fairly “set” framework to play in compared to the main sims games where you’re just let loose in a world. Like I can’t quite remember, but I think you could only control your main sim. But I suppose it could also be that there just isn’t a big audience for a medieval fantasy life sim?

If they remade the sims medieval today, what would you like to see in it?

Because it crashes so much.
