Q: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.
