As long as it benefits the player; i.e. the player isn't forced to use them to unlock items or for careers (looking at you, Showtime.) while in The Sims 4 it's completely optional. (If the Gallery counts, it gets an instant yes for me)

It should be improved because we already live in a world of other social networks, so why not in a Sims-oriented one where we can share our stories?

It does need improvement though, The Sims 3 social features has a horrible interface in my opinion.

Conclusion: It's here to stay, and it could have it's uses, but it must be as light as possible.

Just my two cents.
