FACTS WE KNOW ABOUT THE SIMS 4

We also know that there is no more object grids. Objects can be placed anywhere on the floor or the wall without cheats while merging objects will need the cheats. If you put an object into another object, that object will be deleted and the new one will replace it so no more deleting and replacing! Also, the whole lot, 8 people, can talk at once with sims taking up their space once they leave like in real life. The sim gurus also said that fading into cars has been fixed but they cant say how and the rabbit hole problem was fixed but they also cant say how.

Neighborhood plants will grow on they own instead of beign static decorations, there will be an Astronaut career, CAS have an smart-random system that will possibly help get less dumb-looking random sims. Among the skills we know about there are guitar,violin,piano,wohoo,woodwork,hacking,writing,cooking and gardening.

I hope that the Easter Eggs mean anything.

Thank you for posting this new info

So no cut scenes............................I rather liked them in the sims 2

I just need to put this article here, cause I am really so excited about these facts ...................................

http://simsvip.com/2013/09/13/sims-4-hair-growth-movement/

There are some problems with this particular one. The devs said that there were several translation problems with this one wich means some of the points in this list are not true,for example, random deaths are not gonne....and is probable that the hair and clothing motion is also part of the misunderstanding.

Thanks for your feedback V12........................I really hope that you could be wrong, cause it will really be disappointing if hair and clothing doesn't move

SimsVIP got the original version from The Sims Community, and they have since deleted the 'facts' that mention hair growth, and clothing movement.

From what little that has been mentioned, TS4 is looking like a serious downgrade from TS3. Suppose we will all just have to wait until E3, to learn any more.

-Downgrade- ? i dont see how beign more of a downgrade from TS3 is even possible, No sims in games had moving clothing, and Sims3 didnt have moving hair, only sims2 did. It is not accurate to judge the game at this point.

The only downgrade would be slower loading. If all is kept the same it would be an upgrade. The graphics look so much smoother.

There is no way to downgrade if that never existed in the sims 3. If they took away open neighbourhoods then yes, that'd be a downgrade. It already hurt enough that they decided to ditch CAST so they can implement some cheesy non-realistic system of sims being influenced by colours. WHO GETS SAD BECAUSE OF A BLUE TOP?

It is not how it works. Graham already confirmed that the -colours- dont afect the mood of your sim, but by what he said the sims may like a spefic category of clothing depending on his mood, wich makes more sense. Whatever reason they had to take out CAST is not this one and they probably wont include it any soon.

And i would not miss an open neighborhood that is basically pointless when the venues are empty and the intersting points of city are rabitholes.

Ok.

Some interesting reading............................................................................

New Sims 4 Article

The Sims 4: how composer Ilan Eshkeri brings emotion to the screen

Using new AI technology, the big theme of Sims 4 is emotion, putting even more emphasis on the impact of the soundtrack. By Keith Stuart

FULL ARTICLE

• The Guardian

SUMMARY

• Composer Ilan Eshkeri - Twitter | IMDb | Website

He has composed the background music for the house and sim creation screens, but also wrote over 140 short musical stings which accompany key emotional moments in the gameplay – a fight, a kiss, a major realisation.

• Audio Director Robi Kauker

• Abbey Road Studios

NEW INFORMATION

• Shy First Kiss

The piece they’re recording is about six seconds long and has the working title “first kiss… shy”. It’s pretty clear what it will accompany in the finished game.

INTERVIEWS

Graham Nardone:

• "Emotions are really a launching point into having really believable, very intelligent sims."

• "You look at past sims games and we bring that out in artificial ways, but this is our opportunity to really capitalise on how lifelike they can be and let you tell new stories based on that. Emotions are now a really impactful part of gameplay that unlock new situations. Whether you’re interacting and socialising with other sims or playing with the various objects that are out there - it all lets you do new cool things."

• "Just having a group conversation, being able to interact realistically and allow new sims into a conversation, to acknowledge them and respond… it sounds like a small thing but it’s never happened in the sims game."
• "The sims were kind of robotic, so bringing in an AI where we can be very reactive in group situations, it changes fundamental aspects of the game - that’s the coolest thing in there."

Rachel Franklin:

• "Ilan is known for these theatrical sweeping, wonderful compositions."

• "Its a way for the Sim to respond back to the player, explaining, ‘hey, I’m feeling this’… You can really feel that in the audio."

• "Combining that with animation technology and facial emotional overlays – all of these things work together in a really cool way to make you feel more related to your sim. Because ultimately you’re caring for them – whether you torture them or not – you’re still responsible for them."

• "The music brings your relationship really to a height."

Thanks Enjoji and Sims Community.

• Preset Colors- 13 options for eye color, 18 options for skin color (including blue and green), 8 options for eyebrow color, 18 options for hair and facial hair color,
• User Interface- CAS buttons and transitions are animated and quite bouncy! The UI is very minimal and scaled back. There are seven main categories; clicking one will animate that button and reveal sub-categories. Mousing over a sub-category will reveal an X; clicking the X resets the sub-category.
• Detail Mode- Zooming close into a Sim activates “Detail Mode”, where each part of the face is highlighted when moused over and can be tweaked in greater detail.
• Cosmetic Details- There are four types of wrinkles that can be added, as well as two types of beauty marks (next to eye and above corner of lip).
• Outfit Categories- There is Everyday, Formalwear, Athletic, Sleepwear, and aNEWone, Partywear!
• Tattoos- Tattoos seem to be more basic in TS4. You simply select a tattoo and it appears already sized, colored and in-place, and this cannot be customized.
• Styled Looks- A catalogue-like mode that allows players to sort through pre-set outfits with a few color options to try out on Sims in CAS.Click here for examples!
• Traits and Aspirations- The video reveals the Genius, Bookworm, Creative, Romantic, Outgoing, Gregarious, Fast Learner and Active traits. Relevant Aspiration options appear based on the selected traits. When an Aspiration is selected, a Sim receives another trait that will help with their Aspiration. For example, a “Renaissance Sim” will get the Quick Learner trait, allowing him or her to build skills faster, or a Sim with the “Friend to the World” Aspiration will unlock the Gregarious trait, allowing him or her to build friendships faster.

Sims 4 Release Date: September 4, 2014

The Goth's CAS Video Released!!! - NEW STUFF & CONFIRMATIONS
http://The Goth’s CAS Video Released!!! - NEW STUFF & CONFIRMATIONS
New stuff and confirmations:

There are still traits but it seems each aspiration unlocks an additional trait. These traits include quick learner and gregarious.

The walks look much better.

So many new hair styles and a good amount of hair colours too!

Multicoloured and highlighted hair is in there but I assumed they are all presets.

Far more ethnically diverse sims than in ts3.

There seems to so far be a way to set hair and outfits for everyday, formal, athletic, sleep and occasion ware. (Judging by the UI above the right panel)

There is a new feature to quickly define a certain look called styled looks. You can change the colours of these looks which is good. e.g. sunny weather or a ball gown.

Good amount of jewellery and tattoos for the base game too!

Beauty marks/moles are back.

Accesories include: tights/pantihose, leggings, socks, gloves, rings, bracelets and necklaces.

Skyscrapers.

New build/buy UI.

I like the different categories of hair, short medium and long.....................
