I’m hoping that custom content creation will be easier in ts4 as well, if so I may just start making my own cc for this one

Official? not yet. Unofficial? Sure, the Wiki at MTS should have most of the data the people who are researching the file formats have uncovered (aside from anybody who is selfish enough to keep it to themselves :p )

Nothing on scripting until we get the game code. There aren’t any scripts in the demo.

What CPU intensive task do you imagine doing in a mod? I don’t think 3d rendering, raw mathematical calculations, etc. are among the things that people usually do in mods. (and those things can still be done in a performant way with Python)

Don’t worry 🙂 Many of us use Python for maths, machine learning, data processing… and I’m sure you won’t notice any performance difference in mods. (but you will surely notice how easy it is to use and test compared to using C# with .NET)

Which version on Python? Python 3 or 2?
Any documentation yet on modding?

Eve is an MMO :p If there are mods, they are UI mods only.

BTW, I gather that TS4 uses Flash for the UI, which means THAT should be easy to mod 😉

I wonder too. It might be a little slower than stuff like C# and C and C++ but that is solved with Cython, so not even an issue.

What limitations do you believe a dynamically typed python has compared to statically typed C#?

Hmm… on one side it’s good that modding becomes official with support and documentation. But on another side I’m afraid that through such “official” measures, The Sims 4 team might actually leave some parts unrevealed (but at the same time saying “there’s thorough documentation / that file is dangerous! Don’t touch it!”) to avoid modders actually outsmarting EA’s so called “limitations in the game engine”. More importantly, I’m afraid that everyone out there will actually think they’re born scripters and release problem scripts, or objects that actually are viruses and do attach in creations.

Wow, this news alone just made me decide to get the game on release
