New Create A Sim blog by Ryan Vaughan- New traits, improved genetics system, and more!thesims.com

For those who don’t feel like reading, I’ve listed all of the NEW pictures and information from the article below:

In The Sims 4, personality has a deeper impact on how your Sims interact and who they eventually become with the introduction of Emotions. Emotions affect everything your Sims do and how they react in various situations, which creates a new found synergy when combined with traits in The Sims 4. I’ve always loved the “Insane” trait, for example, and the effect of combining this trait with emotional states can lead to even wilder gameplay outcomes. We’ve added in some new traits to the game, such as my personal favorite, the “Bro” trait. This trait combined with emotional states can spark a new “bromance” for your Sim. In The Sims 4 it’s tons of fun to play with the various ways Traits work with emotions to bring smarter Sims and weirder stories to your game.

Speaking of bringing things to life, we’ve greatly improved our genetics system. As before, you can create two Sims and try for a baby. Their baby would splice their DNA together and their baby would grow up to have features representative of both their Mother or Father’s looks. Now, right in Create A Sim, you are able to mash-up the looks of two Sims to preview what their child will look like. Better yet, you can then manipulate the look of the child if you aren’t satisfied with the results. You can also create family members based off of just one of your Sims’ genetics! Want to give one of your Sims a brother, done! Or provide them with a kid sister, check! The improved genetic functions are dynamic, open ended and really fun to play with.

So you can add now only 3 traits to character? This is kinda sad.

I think it’s awesome! TS3 had way too many traits, many of which were similar. Charismatic, Schmoozer, Friendly, Social Butterfly…they aren’t the same, but they are similar. I love the idea of choosing basic traits for my Sims like Charismatic and then unlocking more complex and specific traits through my Aspiration.

I believe you choose three traits, and then are assigned a list of relevant Aspirations. Once you choose your Aspiration, you unlock a 4th trait that will help your Sim complete the Aspiration. Once it is completed, you unlock the 5th trait as a reward. I have also heard that you can choose a new Aspiration once one is completed and continue to unlock traits…so your Sims might end up with seven or even nine traits!

Is there no swimwear?? Do you know if there are pools?

I noticed that as well. Perhaps they have not yet completed the swimwear section. I would be shocked if there weren’t pools in TS4!

I'd just like to say that I like the trend of minimalism that appears to be showing in TS4. TS3 was ALL about complexity. The create-a-style feature alone was theoretically incredible but, as we all are well aware, it rendered the game bloated and overwhelming. Simpler voxels, simpler (or almost no) interfaces, and simpler functions give us room to be creative without drowning us in it. The sim design we've seen is a testament to that: not TOO human but human enough to let us connect with them.

I definitely agree. I love that the style is cartoony and vibrant and charming, yet they still managed to enhance the things that allow us to connect emotionally with Sims: animation, facial expressions, and detail. The Sims are somehow less and more realistic, in all the right ways! I think the recent trend of minimalism suits The Sims franchise very nicely, and proves to create a UI that is elegant, simple and intuitive.

do you think we will be able to make sims with asymmetrical faces in TS4? i can never make a simself that really looks like me because i have a squint eye.... haha.

I don’t think so. From the demo of CAS that we’ve seen, molding one part of the face automatically molds the other side. Maybe symmetry can be disabled in the advanced editing mode or in the settings. We’ll likely see in the video tomorrow! Stay tuned!

Wouldn't you love it if EA released a demo for Create-a-Sim? I definitely don't think they will, but it would be nice to tide us over, you know?

I don’t think they will, but I definitely think they should! Even just a stripped-down version with the bare basics. They really seem to be emphasizing CAS in general. Since it’s such a big selling point for TS4, it would make sense for them to release some sort of demo so people could play around with it and get pumped for the game!

I think the hair issue is because the style is more cartoonish, they're channeling the aesthetic of TS1 and bringing it forward into 2014. Also they want the game to have lower system requirements so it's available to more people, and I remember this blog mentioning that the hair is one of the most complex parts to animate. Maybe the simpler hair isn't such a bad thing?

I definitely understand why the hair is simple and cartoony. I actually love the style of TS4! I just think that the hair is a bit too low quality and does not match with the well-lit and textured Sims. While cartoony, the Sim’s faces are still expressive and complex; the hair looks like a helmet by comparison. It just doesn’t work together. The Sims are so natural looking! They need hair that doesn’t look like plastic fitted to their skull, in my opinion.

I really hope they don't mess up and make it like The Sims 3, like they must know it's so unrealistic to show up to a club or event and have NO ONE there but the bartender. If they want The Sims 4 to succeed they need to focus on the little things.. It's a shame the postponed from Spring though, we would all be playing right now..

Well, you can’t have it all. If you want TS4 to be better than TS3 and have those fine details ironed out, then you should be happy the game was delayed! It gave them the chance to perfect it.

Do you think with the new multitasking options, couples and family sims will finally be able to have a nice night out at the restaurant with bustling chatter or hold hands while taking a walk?

Hopefully! We still haven’t gotten any word on rabbit holes, but I am really hoping that we at least get open restaurants and shops! I would love to see open lots with tons of Sims out and about. I’ll never forget how disappointing it was to go clubbing in Late Night…every single venue was empty when I arrived!
