What's New in The Sims 4?

The Sims 4 gives players plenty of options to play with including building homes and playing with social elements like profiles, sentiments and relationships to building the entire thing!

Before you begin, make sure your game is running in the way you intended it to and ensure there aren't any Mods which are causing problems in performance and gameplay. Mods can trigger a myriad of problems that can negatively affect both.

Create-A-Sim

Players can design any Sim from scratch or select one that is already made. Players can alter their gender, hairstyles, built and skin tone - as well as their look features such as nose size, jaw shape, or eye shape!

Another new feature in the game is the ability to customize Sim outfits. Clicking on the Sim, players gain access to a menu with regular, formal, swimmingwear as well as PJs, underwear and PJs options - with filters for DLC availability, too.

One new option in the game is for Sims to pursue an aspiration. Aspirations provide a fresh option for Sims to live their lives. It is customizable at will but doing so may restart progress within an aspiration. It could also affect the unique characteristics of an aspiration. There is an urban setting with Willow Creek, desert-inspired Oasis Springs, Homepage and Newcrest in this particular version.

Build Mode

One area where The Sims 4 differs significantly from its PC predecessor is Build Mode. Although boasting all of the necessary homebuilding tools for decorating, furnishing and building and features, operating the build mode with the mouse instead of a controller may be frustrating at times.

At times, working with stair rails can be a bit difficult because they're not always in alignment with walls and there is the odd visual glitch that can be difficult to detect. Luckily, developers are constantly making improvements to the system, by adding new objects and features, for instance, a Baby Safety Zone Fence which allows users to create play spaces specifically for Infants and Toddlers thanks to a recent update with the bowling lanes, puppetry and the bassinet made of wickerwork. Furthermore, this update fixes numerous bugs like one in which a stair rail could be overlapping adjacent walls at times!

But if they fight or experience difficulties in their relationships, their relationships will suffer as a result - this dynamic applies to siblings, romantic relationships, caregiver-child relationships and caregiver-grandparent relationships alike - if you wish to end this challenging dynamic early you can use the Aspiration rewards store or cheat in CAS as ways of doing so.
