and they look so real now

[karter]

i like the new house building tools and make a sim mode but it still is not so impressive

[iBlueBox]

looks the same.

[Succubus]

"would you like to see my rocket. woah that was quite forward ollie" omfg ok. new building tools look great!!

[dbgtz]

The child in me finds it amusing that the first character creation feature shown is the boob sizing. Anyway, after SC2013 I'm certainly not buying this.

[Empired]

I am excited for it but that advert was so CRINGE

[AgnesIO]

Still concerned about this new Create a Sim - always has been a boring part of the game for me, and I feel this is going to make it even more boring.

[Eoin247]

The new create-a-sim and the new room moving ability look kinda cool. However the graphics are a big let down, doesn't seem to be any improvement over the sims 3, if anything they seem more cartoony to me.

Here's me hoping there's much more good stuff to come after what happened with simcity.

the character customization is the best bit! i'm glad you're able to do it your own way instead of being limited to their sizes nd stuff i can't wait to play

Always found it to be the most boring bit going. All about the tycoon/business stuff.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! (Never thought I'd say that to EA)

But yeah, It looks amazing. can't wait to play!

It is possibly the best EP Maxis/EA have ever done :P

The trailers didn't really reveal much. The emotions thing seems very limiting in gameplay, but it's early days. I won't get it on release, I won't be duped like with The Sims 3, it was dreadful :/

[peteyt]

Let's just hope the release isn't anything like sim city

[GommeInc]

Apparently The Sims 4 will not come with Create a Style as standard. It seems EA are hoping to out do The Sims 3 by making The Sims 4 the worst game.

Genuinely cannot believe they would do that.

It's essentially The Sims 2 as far as customisation goes. You won't be able to alter your Sims' clothes, furniture, cars, wallpaper, flooring etc. It wouldn't surprise me they have done this so you end up buying more useless junk from their Sim Store, as we all know now that they won't bulk up their expansion and stuff packs more than they feel is necessary :P The announcement was done by one of EAs braindead PR employees, who said there are no plans for a Create A Style system in The Sims 4 in the base game, and they may release it later in a patch, which is just an excuse to charge lots of money for the base game with very few features.

Create-A-Sim is still going ahead, but it's just one feature that does roughly the same thing as what you will find in Spore, but will not be used again once you're in gameplay. EA have essentially cut out yet another important gameplay feature :/

Create-A-Sim is the most boring bit of the game.

Doubt I will be purchasing it either way - not something I intend to spend my time on when Uni comes around, barely touch the Sims 3 anyway!

I'm the same, but it's so annoying that EA took over the franchise and feel the need to kill it :P

Also, there's no news of a Mac version (to the extent where it's been confirmed there isn't) which will anger so many people - even though the Mac version of The Sims 3 is/was rubbish.

oli got game

To be fair a patch doesn't mean you'll have to pay. I know that the way EA has charged for extras in recent years has been annoying, but since they got a new CEO this year things seem to be changing. Simcity has gotten more free addons so far this year than optional paid ones. Not to mention that they got rid of online passes this year!

It should be in it from the start to make the base game actually worth buying, especially at the inflated estimated prices retailers seem to be giving, and that's "IF" it ever comes to The Sims 4!

SimCity is still a really awful game and shouldn't be associated with real SimCity games from the first to 4 and Rush Hour. Heck, SimCity Society has a better engine than SimCity 2013, the routing issues in SimCity Societies are/were non-existing and the system itself was far superior than they are in the latest abomination to come from that company.

[Daltron]

create a sim and building a house is actually the fav part of the game for me, so if they remove that or simplify it I probably won't buy :/

The current routing system in simcity isn't too bad. Also did you get simcity 4 when it first came out? There was a huge number of bugs, and the routing system and transportation was terrible. People complained like hell on the Internet, and simcity 4 wasn't even as publicized before launch! Rush hour and subsequent patches helped it a bit, but it wasn't until years later when modders made the NAM that the transport system and routing became good. I remember huge portions of cities suddenly dying just because the roads stopped working correctly! :L

I really didn't like simcity societies (it wasn't even a simcity really), but the new simcity in its current state isn't too bad. The main problem I have now is that they still haven't really opened the game to modders despite saying they would soon.

They have no plans to do that from looking at the trailer. Tbh it's very unlikely that they would do that.

Both are in it. In fact, the first reveal trailers for the game shows both of those in action - building a house is now easier, and you can have curved fences (not walls) and the create-a-sim feature now mimics the Spore creature creator where you just zoom to enlarge certain areas.

I had SimCity 4 when it first came and routing was awful, but thankfully there was so much more to do in the game and in some way trying to solve the problem using the vast amount of space in a map helped make the game a bit more interesting. SimCity 2013 is featureless in comparison to SimCity 4.

I wasn't a fan of SimCity Society as it was just about placing individual buildings and didn't require any economic skill, but at least the routing problems never existed. A Sim kept to one house, rather than randomly live in any residential lot they can find after they quit work (they lack an intelligence or memory system in 2013).

Everyone's been complaining about the graphics and stuff but I like how they look... Its better than sims 3 with their pudding faces lol :) I also like the CAS and Build Tools :D

[Icey]

Looks the same as sims 3. Think ill pass on getting this one

[yoshi19952]

OMG I'm so excited for The Sims 4! I don't care what they do with it, because I trust EA and their decisions with the franchise...

[-:Undertaker:-]

Looks cool, think brother had Sims 2 but I could never be bothered with the missions.

[ChitChatCityLUV]

more treasure hunting, I really like the gameplay of the sims 3 and would definitely buy sims 4 too. :)
