• I’m afraid I can’t share concept art yet. Maybe someday in the future. (Tweet)
• We’ve noticed both a desert and city backdrop in videos. Can you confirm that these are worlds? Are they playable? – We have only announced one world at this time – Willow Creek, which is inspired by New Orleans. (Tweet)
• Tell us about pregnancy and families, please! What will the babies look like? – They have legs 😉 (Tweet)

• Yes, there are babies in The Sims 4! (Tweet)
• Don’t know if you can answer this but in the world can we swim in the ocean? – Willow Creek does not feature an ocean, sorry! (Tweet)
• Hi Sarah, can you confirm now if TS4 is set before or after TS2 in the Timeline? or by how many years? – The Sims 4 features an all new timeline, but still has all your favorite Sim families! The timeline got pretty crowded with TS1, TS2, and TS3, trying to fit another game into the timeline would be tough. (Tweet)
• New timeline? As in events of TS1, TS2 + TS3 didn’t happen so it is in an alternate universe? Or what? – I would call it an alternate universe…it was the most flexible way for us to keep all your favorite Sims in TS4. (Tweet)
• Can have more than 8 Sims? – You can control up to 8 Sims in #TheSims4, just like in The Sims 3. (Tweet)
• If you can answer, will Sims be able to Woohoo more than one place on the base game? – Yes! Sims can woohoo in more than one place in Base Game. (Tweet)
• Can you guys talk about the creature? And will emotion-related deaths be common or uncommon? – Sims are far more likely to die of fire than emotions. (Tweet)
• Are there new ways to die other then of laughter? – Yes! There are many ways to die *evil laughter* Fire and Hunger! (Tweet)
• Sims have a chance of getting pregnant when they woohoo (Tweet)

• Will be able to die with sadness? – I don’t want to give everything away, but there are multiple types of emotion deaths. (Tweet)
• Spoken about deaths olive specter will be in the game? – We didn’t bring Olive or other Specter family Sims in the game. We bought in some favorites though like the Goths. (Tweet)
• I don’t see why it’d be fun to spend time making a sim for them to die from something like laughter. – It’s a really really extreme state. You will have to try to kill them that way. They won’t just keel over from one funny joke. (Tweet)
• The old woman (who hates unicorns and loves fights) will be playable on the final version? – Yep, you can play your very own own Gladys if you want to. (Tweet)
• Will there be Andre? Everyone loves him! – You could totally play as him too. He looks like one of our producers IRL! (Tweet)
• Babs & Ollie will not be in the game as pre-mades (Tweet)
• Could you upload Ollie to the exchange for us? – I’m sure somebody could get that done… I’ll go ask Sarah (Tweet)
