All in all, I would have to say that I expected something BETTER in the Sims 4 as a progression from the Sims 3 since it is a series game. first view of the concept art I literally said “oh no, they look like cartoony Sims 2 type” and further concept art showed the AWFUL Anime hair and clothes. I could go on, but as someone that owns all the Sims games and expansions since The Sims (the original) this game is a let down, to much good stuff let out.

Erm… the only game that cut needs was Sims 3. Because it replaced Comfort and Environment with specific Moodlets, which I actually prefered. The same is still the case. So I don’t really know what you mean.

I feel like every new sim series they cut out a couple of needs

It’s not using Glassbox. The articles who are mentioning that got that wrong. Graham confirmed that Sims 4 is using a completely new engine that does not actually have a name. The similarities between the two games are purely UI-based, as the UI for Sims 4 was created by the same people who created the UI for SimCity.

By cross-breeding they mean grafting a tree onto a different species of tree? /confused

Yes, they’ll be so much better than before. I hated how there were no interactions for toddlers (and kids) in The Sims 3!

Besides they even may include new life stages like tweens.

I’m encouraged reading that quite a few people, both press and simmers alike, are overall pretty positive about this game.

Crossbreeding plants and frogs? I knew about the plants, but you can do it with frogs too? I want this game! Since the outpouring of information from the Creator’s Camp, I haven’t heard one thing that would turn me away.

Also, just an idle observation that was briefly touched on in the article…TS4 is using Glassbox. I figured they would before TS4 was even announced, they wouldn’t put so much time into a new engine and then only use it for SimCity 5. That’s why the UI is the way it is and why things light up when you mouse over them. They took inspiration from SimCity 5, and I agree with the author here. Regardless of what you think of it, SimCity’s controls and UI were spot on and there is no denying that.
