The Sims 4
The Sims 4 is an upcoming life simulation game. It will be the fourth installment in The Sims series. Electronic Arts announced the game on May 6, 2013,[2] and it is scheduled to be released for Microsoft Windows and OS X in late 2014. There are no plans for a console release.[1]
The Sims 4 has the same concept as its predecessor, The Sims 3. Players control their Sims in various activities and form relationships in a manner similar to real life. The game, like the rest of the series, does not have a defined final goal; gameplay isnonlinear.
On August 20, 2013, The Sims 4 was revealed via a gameplay demo and release trailer at Gamescom.[3][4]
On April 25, 2013, several screenshots from mock-up flash videos of the user interface were leaked online.[5] On May 3, 2013, Electronic Arts sent out an e-mail to several fansites stating that there would be a big announcement on May 6, 2013, which many speculated would be The Sims 4.
The Sims 4 will be a single-player game,[7] and will not require an internet connection to play, but will need an Origin account and internet access during the initial installation process.[8][9]
Gameplay was unveiled in Gamescom 2013 alongside other EA titles. Unveiled features focused on the improved Create-A-Sim and emotion based gameplay.[10] Select players called Yibsims who mostly manage fan sites and YouTube videos were invited to Sims Camp to see the game before the public and press, consequently the game received minimal coverage outside fansites. Maxis stated the game would run better on lower end PCs than The Sims 3, which was plagued with performance issues on low end and high end PCs.[11]
The Sims 4 was originally scheduled to be released in early 2014, but was delayed to late 2014.[12]
