I do enjoy the more "cartoony" look of the sims this time around on the teaser video. The thing that bothered me about the Sims 3 is that I would spend far too much time on their faces only find out that there faces barely resembled the amount of detail I put into them. Hopefully with all of the new body customization, we will be able to change the height of our sims. I'm tired of everyone being like 6 feet tall.

I'd like some height adjusters too.
Looking forward to The Sims 4 and the last expansion for 3 coming out soon.

It's a good thing I plan on getting a new computer soon. It looks awesome. I'll end up spending ten hours planning my Sim and then not playing >.>
My thing with the Sims 4 is that I'm concerned this is going to be another game where the focus on all life stages is lost.
I'd like some height sliders and some more interactions with families. The son and the mother can't just be hugging and talking. There should be so much more..
But TS4 will not be worth $60-$70 like they're charging.

I do the exact same thing! I spend hours and hours creating families and designing their houses, but I never actually play. I always found the Sims 3 gameplay sort of bland even with several expansions.

I don't really like playing my Sims because of the whole death thing. Ya spend so much time designing them, then they die >.>

It looks like the Sims 4 is trying to focus on deeper emotional simulations and furthering some of the overlooked customization options.
I'm not too bothered on making my sims super unique visually. Tend to just make the same sims over again and just change up the personalities. So I do like that they are putting a bigger focus on personalities and situations where your sims can express actual emotion. But I agree with the above. For a game like the Sims, the base game should never cost as much as it does. It's going to lack just as much as every other Sims game until they start making expansions. Which are also ridiculously overpriced.

I'm pretty sure we won't be getting height adjusters. Programming height, especially height from a slider, would be hell on the animators. Not only would they have to make animations for every height to interact with the world and the objects around them, they'd have to make to and from sim-to-sim interactions. Stupid amounts of work for minimal payoff really.

I remember saying I probably wouldn't get the Sims 4.
Now that I have seen it, I have changed my mind completely. It looks like how The Sims 3 should have been! More cartoony art style to match with the Sims from 2. I hate hate HATED the Sims 3's boring 'realistic' Sims. Sure, they had the plumbob and woohoo, but they did not have the soul of the Sims. The Sims are back to their exaggerated, silly selves and I love it!

I saw the video the other day and I was sososo happy. It looks fab and the rocket ship, editing bodies ahhh. Just give it to me now! People were saying it looks a bit like a Facebook game though. I like the room moving thing, the Sims Social had that! I've been playing Sims 3 well loads recently too and this is the reason I didn't get many packs.
The graphics are a bit Sims 2 like but they said they are focusing on the game play more. It's early days still...

I'm thinking about playing The Sims 3 again. I didn't really get to play it ever since a fire broke out in my Sim's home with the fire alarm off (I had headphones) and it was really loud lol.
It must have had taken a lot of work for emotions to be more enriched.

Will it only be on the computer? It better be for Windows and Mac or I'll kill EA.

I hope there will be an Awesomemod released for it.
The Sims 3 was for Mac. I don't see why it wouldn't be the same for 4.

It looks good but seeing how Sims 3 crashes on every computer I play it on...I probably won't get it.
You should check all the specifications and see if you are compatible with more than half of them.
Specifications don't mean **** when it comes to Sims 3 crashes. Sims 3 is just poorly optimised and it's got too much jammed in it.
