If you stalk the "sims 4" tag as frequently as I do, the blog "fearless-sims" has uploaded some images of a possible (?) Sims 4. They look hyper-realistic and incredibly detailed (in the backgrounds especially), though the images stray from the more cartoony look that has been shown as official Sims 4 concept art. I would disregard the images in an instant because of the hyper-realisim, but they do have some very sim-like aspects which makes me question if they are real. What are your thoughts?

They are unquestionably fake. It has been announced several times that the style will be cartoony and stylized. Also, there would be a massive media buzz if these were real images!

Understanding stylised-realism.

yibsims:

I’m afraid I’m venturing into non-official waters here but with little news at the moment in regards to The Sims 4 the mind wanders…

One phrase from the development so far has stuck in my head, ‘stylised realism’, first mentioned by concept artist Albert Truong during a live broadcast. From looking around the web it seems that fans are most interested in what the sims themselves will look like in the 4th iteration of the game. My understanding of stylised realism is realism in terms of ‘that is definitely a person’ but with a fun/cartoon-ish twist.

The best contemporary example I can find of it is in the new MMORPG ‘Wildstar’.

This in-game screenshot could almost be taken directly from the Sims 4 eyes picture:

I’d be ecstatic if the sims in The Sims 4 were to look like characters from Wildstar, particularly in the first 2 images as TS4 would be able to achieve better graphics due to it being a large, offline, A+ title.

Nice to see someone who supports and understands the concept of stylized realism. Everyone is so anti-cartoon, and they don’t realize how great the game could look!

What do you mean by pudding faced sims when referring to sims 3?

The Sims in TS3 have especially rounded and cartoony faces, with little detail and definition. This results in almost every single Sim looking exactly the same, especially if you gave them all the same hair and skin tone. In TS3, children don’t really seem to inherit the features of their parents, because their parents rarely HAVE defining features. Thankfully, it appears that in TS4, Sims will be more distinct and alive!

Next Live Broadcast is VERY soon. And new details on the Gamescom reveal. Yipee!

Yeah, but each LB has been extremely disappointing. I’m not expecting any actual info until the big Gamescom reveal.

is that avril lavigne sims 4 picture real

I’d say: definitely not. It looks too photo-realistic, and I highly doubt they would make a deal with such a has-been celeb lol

What if ea found a way to incorporate traits and personality points? Like use the same personality system from TS2 and three traits. So when sims have kids the personality points and one random trait from a parent (such as being a vegetarian like mom or a kleptomaniac like dad) would be genetic and as the sim would grow older the player would either choose the next two traits or they'd be randomly chosen based on the sims life.

I would absolutely love a more complex personality system! They definitely need to separate the traits like Evil, Neurotic, and Dramatic from traits like Commitment Issues, Dislikes Children and Loves the Outdoors, which are not really personalities.

But yeah, I really would like the personality points to be brought back, although they should be sliders. I hated how my Sim couldn’t be both outgoing and neat without having to be lazy, because I didn’t have enough points to fill everything. I would like it to be like Create-a-Pet in TS2, but with many more options AS WELL AS personality traits to further customize your Sim:

Layered Clothing in TS4?

One feature I would absolutely love in TS4 is layered clothing. Those who played TS2 console games will remember this feature; jackets, sweaters, vests and more could be layered on top of t-shirts, polos, and tanks. This allowed for a much greater level of customization, and every Sim had a unique outfit combination. I sincerely hope they bring this back for TS4!

I’ve also heard news of pre-set outfits and styles for clothes in TS4. I’m really rooting for this feature! In TS2, there were many full-body outfits, but in TS3, there aren’t as many. Personally, I’m not very good at matching a shirt with pants…I’d much rather just select a full outfit!

What do you guys think about layered clothing and styles in TS4?
