Hi @midorimakuns, Absolutely! All of our CAS walk cycles are built to work for both genders 😀
— Jill Johnson (@SimGuruJill) June 27, 2014
@TheSimCommunity It's pretty quick. Definitely faster than Sims 2 or 3 were for me.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 26, 2014
@Aang741 @TheSimCommunity It feels very reasonable compared to other games. It's not overly long. I'm not going to time it 🙂
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 26, 2014
@PlanetClemntine Right now I think the loads are super reasonable.

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 26, 2014
@JordanSimmer I don't know. We only have the base game. It's all we're working on. I imagine like most programs, more stuff equal more load.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@TheSimCommunity Our new engine allows you to live in one world, visit another, and move between worlds. It's so much better.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 26, 2014
@Inge_Jones @TheSimCommunity We discussed this for WEEKS. There are all sorts of weird connotations between past Sims and SimCity.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 26, 2014
@jojr14 @snw @TheSimCommunity No. Not true at all. Completely different engines.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 26, 2014
@dreamfor_ari We haven't announced Specs yet. Soon.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 26, 2014
@nc4dm It says Brother and Sister.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
Angela Wallace just came home from work with a promotion! Her husband, Tommy, walked over on his own and gave her a quick kiss. Love it.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
Dynamic human moments are what make our game special. I love seeing good stories unfold. Even common, mundane life.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@SamWitts2 No stomping.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@ssoggysimss Assets are authored for the female or male skeletons, which are different. So, men can't wear assets authored for women.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@SamWitts2 @TheSimSupply Sims will autonomously make social decisions based on relationships. So, husbands and wives act like it.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@bump96 I think it's our best UI ever and it's something we've worked insanely hard on. We tried to make it SUPER intuitive for new and old.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@bump96 The goal was to make it cleaner, more intuitive, and less in your face.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@bump96 It has been extensively tested with players. We brought in users over the years to test and help us improve it.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@bump96 In Live, you have all the same information, but it takes up a fraction of the screen.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@ashleighanne90 @SamWitts2 @bump96 Hi — I don't believe we've shown this yet. We're still polishing some of the UI. We don't want to…
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@ashleighanne90 @SamWitts2 @bump96 …show it before it's ready as that can be confusing and weird.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@Alourra1289 You get Simoleons, items, all sorts of stuff. There are a lot of neat rewards.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@ZerbuTabek @Alourra1289 They were designed specifically as rewards.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@ZerbuTabek @Alourra1289 We have rewards for many different features in the game. There's lots of stuff to earn.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@michael_loc009 Careers DO grant rewards. We did not take the rewards from The Sims 2.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@CeceliaLaBelle Hmmm. We have some new ones. I'll say that.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@bump96 @ashleighanne90 @SamWitts2 Sims will only use one walk at a time, from personality, emotion, or other cases.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
I'm cracking up. My Sad Sim autonomously chose to read a book about zombies.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@ZerbuTabek Some can and do.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@ZerbuTabek Art and human creativity is one of the most emotional things in the world. Naturally, we had to leverage that.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@ashleighanne90 @bump96 @SamWitts2 We are less exaggerated than Sims 3. That was a deliberate stylistic shift from our animation leads.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@thesimsclub_ru We use previous games as a starting point and tune them to be the most fun for the current game.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@ZerbuTabek As you age up, you become a more interesting, diverse person.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@ZerbuTabek No interesting surprise. I'm trying to answer you not just mechanically, but in a way that also indicates our reasoning.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@PlanetClemntine Super simple. Return to the map, pick who you want to play.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@PlanetClemntine Oh. Super easy.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@TheDanzo We know you guys are frustrated. We read the forums daily.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@LipeAbr Our world structure has changed, but it's now the best of, uh, both worlds.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@PlanetClemntine We check strings dozens and dozens of times. There are thousands of strings and sometimes we miss some.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@joewaaaayyy You can choose the station, and switch to the next song.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@wicked_jr89 @michael_loc009 There are both personal inventories (carry with you) and Household Inventory (like storage).
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@CeceliaLaBelle Sims who are uncomfortable from being say, tired, or hungry, will droop and slouch around. They'll complain. Be unhappy.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@CeceliaLaBelle Energized Sims walk with a spring in their step, act excited, like to exercise and clean.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@SIMS4U_AU Up and down? Yes.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
My snob hates watching comedy on TV. It's beneath her. She DOES love the news.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@CeceliaLaBelle No. Fictionally it's a good idea, but the radio is about music. It'd be weird to listen to people talking.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@CeceliaLaBelle Divorce? Losing a friend? Honestly it's all about your story.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@PlanetClemntine Loner, shy — both are introvert, essentially. They are fine with close friends, family.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@stingmaster26 Uh, not much to it! Mothers can do it. It's a special moment. It feeds the baby.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@stingmaster26 Standing, blurred.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@PlanetClemntine Women can be bros. Bro lifestyle is gender neutral.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@CeceliaLaBelle Mounting? Check. Bowls? Check.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@PlanetClemntine It doesn't work like that.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@LeSims4 For important life moments, we do not let the Sims do them autonomously. We have to balance control versus frustration.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@superorangegasm Emotions touch so much of the game. They can be related to Needs, or careers, or social interactions, and more.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@superorangegasm It's difficult to explain all the specific situations via Twitter. Traits, can change things, for example.
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@HomeboyPlays Maxis has been a part of EA for 10 years. They don't tamper with us 🙂
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 27, 2014
@wendy2584 @SimGuruGraham @TheSims @SimGuruJill There is no swimming in The Sims 4 at this time, sorry.
— Sarah Holding (@SimGuruSarah) June 26, 2014
@bump96 @SimGuruGraham @SimGuruLyndsay @SimGuruGrant Pregnant Sims do have a unique "waddle walkstyle" it's really cute!
— Sarah Holding (@SimGuruSarah) June 26, 2014
@abiyyu_2000 There is no hair animation, but our Sims look very pretty in The Sims 4. I like them better than TS3 Sims 🙂
— Sarah Holding (@SimGuruSarah) June 26, 2014
@Ericcox04 @SimGuruGraham No, sorry.
— Sarah Holding (@SimGuruSarah) June 26, 2014
@dreamfor_ari There are radio stations in The Sims 4 base game. I like the classical station 🙂
— Sarah Holding (@SimGuruSarah) June 26, 2014
@NathanMacedo10 @SimGuruSarah @SimGuruRusskii @MissPuckerLips @TheSims Sim moms can still "Have Baby" at home or "Go to the Hospital"
— Azure Bowie-Hankins (@SimGuruAzure) June 26, 2014
@ashleighanne90 Your Sim can totally have a career as a stand up comedian!
— Azure Bowie-Hankins (@SimGuruAzure) June 27, 2014
@SamWitts2 @PerrySimmer Sims stand (and kneel I guess) during proposals but there are tons of romantic interactions they can do sitting down
— Azure Bowie-Hankins (@SimGuruAzure) June 27, 2014
