    I like that one of the first customizations you see happen in the gameplay video is how big the boobs are and how much they sag.

    Its about time they got away from the fat faces of 3. Though the body animation looks roughly the same, its nice to see that the facial technology has been enhanced considerably.

    I've enjoyed the previous Sims games, so I'm sure I'll enjoy this one too. I like that they have emotions now, it's a nice addition. It'll be interesting to see how it changes gameplay. I just hope the graphics will be better than shows, it looks very similar to the graphics of Sims 3, just with slightly less rough edges.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    Not going to get me this time EA! At the rate they're going, it would cost me more money to get my sim a haircut than it would be for me to get one irl. I hate how much of a money sink they've turned this series into.

    That is true - especially if you want all of the expansion packs and DLC. It'd cost you a few hundred bucks.

    I don't get it. Why do they not include the extra content in the base of the game? This is why I don't buy EA games anymore. I regret that Humble Bundle I just bought for $5 because I have to go to a separate website to launch the game.

    Because it makes them more money. Don't lie: you get it, you just don't want to get it if it means what you think it does. And it does. It always does.

    Are you still not allowed to build/go in the business shops? That pissed me off about 3. Really outside of adding days of the week(and obviously graphics), 2 was much better.

    I agree 2 was better so disappointed with their direction on 3. On 4 it looks like the house creation feature has vastly improved but I haven't seen anything with actual sim gameplay aside from the emotions demo from a while back.

    I haven't heard anything about rabbit holes, but they made it so you could go into some rabbit holes through expansions in 3.

    It'll probably be the same here. Base package will have 10% of previous series content with the remaining 90 slowly unveiled through $250+ in eventual expansion packs.

    I have been avoiding this game launch because with the other releases, it took ages for the modding community to catch up with the game release and playing the sims in a right out the box, unmodded state is pointless and boring to me because I am heavily into modding content. Of course avoiding it means I have not learned whether or not sims 3 mods will cross over but I feel they wont for some reason. :D

    It’s time to save up those vacation days, life gets better in 85 days. Electronic Arts today announced that The Sims 4 is arriving on PC starting September 2 in North America . The Sims 4 is the only game where the new generation of smarter Sims with big personalities gives players the power to play with life and create meaningful, and sometimes weirder, stories.

    “On September 2 our fans will be able to experience why we believe The Sims 4 is the best life simulation game ever,” said Rachel Franklin, VP and Executive Producer for The Sims 4. “These are brand new Sims whose traits, emotions and aspirations combine to define more meaningful personalities than you’ve ever played with before. You decide not only what they look like, but more importantly, who they are. The combination of these new Sims, our powerful new creative tools, and the all-new Gallery add up to the best game we’ve ever made.”

    The Sims 4 takes this best-selling franchise to an entirely new generation. Our new Sims have been reinvented into smarter, emotionally rich characters who come to life through a combination of their free will and player direction. Players control the mind, body, and now the heart of these new Sims and bring their stories to life with richness and texture that has never before been possible in the franchise. Pair these revolutionary new Sims with brand new creative tools that are powerful, tactile, and easy to use, and the all-new Gallery, which allows players to access other players’ The Sims 4 user generated content directly from the game, and the result is a stimulating new gameplay experience that powers a new era for The Sims.

    Create A Style? Gone

    Some players are not happy about the fact that we don’t have Create a Style in game anymore. What would you like to tell them?
    At the moment we are not planning to add Create a Style in game and we don’t know if this feature will be added later on. We are focusing on making the base game great, stable and powerful. We want The Sims 4 to ship with a very high level of quality and we decided to focus on certain areas.
    Toddlers? Gone
    Swimming Pools? Gone, gone and gone

    "While we recognize that some of you will be disappointed that pools and toddlers won't be available when The Sims 4 Base Game launches in September, you should know that we're building an incredibly strong foundation that is capable of fulfilling every one of your desires in the years to come," he said.
