After you’ve replicated your own family in the Sims, most people decide to go all out and make the strangest Sims that they possibly can, in the most bizarre home. You’re not alone with your unusual creations – just check out the latest trailer from EA.
Okay, so I might have lied a little. This is actually a trailer about the most boring Sim ever created. However, because he’s so boring, his interactions with other Sims will be really weird and interesting. Or perhaps it’s just a meta-trailer, to show us how monotonous life is, no matter how outlandish you make your Sim.
The best part of this particular trailer is the awesome narration and references to memes. This Sim doesn’t always eat breakfast, but when he does, pancakes!
I’m liking the new focus of The Sims 4. It seems that EA has realized that people don’t really want to recreate their own lives – they want to make weird and interesting stories using strange Sims and even stranger buildings. They want to lock their Sim in the bathroom, or be like Darryn and build walls of fire next to their favorite activities. Or perhaps just play their fears off of their desires and see what happens. It’s all about making interesting stories with intriguing characters – what strange and horrible thing will the Sim do next?
Has this been your approach to the Sims? Were you in search of a perfect life via Sims, or is it all about watching the world burn?

What if my perfect life IS watching it all burn? Hypothetically.

The Lord of the Braai doesn’t burn the meat, he cooks it. :/

That’s actually what I thought, but then I realised it couldn’t be me because I don’t own a nifty red bathrobe.

What you’re trying to say is… you don’t own a nifty red bathrobe… YET!!

August 6, 2014 at 11:03
Yes… yes I can see it now. I can wear it to work. They can play music as I enter. TO THE SHOPPING MALL!

Just wait until he feels the sweet softness on his skin, then he’s going to show up at the LGz meets like that.

Yes. As I enter I will shout “BEHOLD!” & fling my arms out wide, and you’ll pray that I remembered to belt the robe.

They better let me create a metalhead sim in The Sims 4 that I’ll probably not buy for another two years. 😉

Is Mr. Beard bored, or is that his “Watch now, dear viewers as I show you how to bed this bespectacled, red haired Vixen. Rowwrrrrr!” look?

Oh how lucky we are that EA kept swimming pools out because it’s not viable now (which translates to: Because we will rather have you pay for it)
I wonder if by The Sims 6 we’re going to only get empty lots and you’ll have to pay to be able to build walls and roofs.

It’s micro-transactions, you will pay per brick / tile.
Sith JJ
August 6, 2014 at 10:41
True.
Or you’ll start off with a basic Create-a-sim and then you wait for the expansions – The Sims LIVING STUFF (now you can build homes)
The Sims GREEN FINGERS (now you can plant things around your house)
The Sims FIRST WORLD (you can now put a roof on your house)
;P

So babies are not included on release day? I guess we have to buy them now @_@?

Apparently babies are included, just not toddlers… so your babies will go from goo-goo-gaga to “Hey look mom I’m in primary school” in 3 Sim days.
