The Sims 4: Smarter and Weirder Official Gameplay Trailer

OperationDx1 says:

Cancelled my pre-order. Gonna wait for reviews. So many missing features
that will later get added for more $$$. It’s one thing to take stuff out
because you want to make them better. It’s another to strip down a game
and sell off the parts. And we all know how EA runs things.

Katina Bright says:

Heads up EA: I canceled my pre-order on the game. I’m going to wait until I
see actual game play and how others think of the game. I already did not
like the whole simpoints value thing by getting venues and extra content
that should have been added in the the expansion packs. Plus by putting a
$16-30 price tag on every venue or release does not make the company look
great, it makes you look greedy and money hungry. I could have lived
without the pools, almost survived without the toddlers, BUT taking away
CAS…that is a NO. You can look different, but now everyone is wearing the
same thing or has the same furniture as you…not my thing. I’ll stick to
my The Sims 3. I am truly disappointed in EA, and I know I’m not alone.

Sophie Castro says:

I am a big simmer and the fact that there is no pools, open worlds,
toddlers or create a style bugs me. I was already really pissed up with the
cartoonish way the sims look, so that just freaked me out. I personally
LOVE TODDLERS! I am a very nurturing person, and i enjoy taking care of our
little ones in the game. Its really annoying that babies are going to
randomly turn into kids. That’s what usually happened on the nintendo game,
so i bought the sims in the computer so i could have toddlers. I find them
too cute. I LIVE WITH CREATE A STYLE. The sims 3 designers (no offense)
have an awful taste when it comes to patterns and combinations. Im going to
end up having to download a huge amount of custom content which is only
going to crash my game. Pools are necessary, people. Like, what the
hell…? So you wanted to make the sims 4 more realistic, but there is no
pools? doesn’t make sense at all. No open worlds…?! Im done. If EA
expects me to buy 32 expansion packs including whats missing then they I’m
out. I’d rather keep playing the sims 3. Its honestly better.

ImKindOfIconic says:

This is not GAMEPLAY you stupid dickfucks. This is a TRAILER. ANOTHER ONE.
Out of HOW MANY NOW?!

Madelynn Lexi says:

The Internet be all like: “Ah yea your sims can be smart or weird ( Not
like they could in the other sim games ), but they can’t be toddlers and
they can’t swim in pools. In fact, my sim doesn’t even know what a pool is
🙂 And in create a sim you pull there skin to make them look different.”
How painful. ( No sims were harmed in the making of this comment
because I’m not buying the sims 4 most likely ). Please No hate <3

Rayaotiix says:

At first I was very excited for the Sims 4, but every time you release new
info, it makes me realize how bad it might be. You took so many steps back
with the Sims 4, and it’s even gonna have less content then the Sims 3. You
actually got back to the loading screens between lots! (Dont get me started
about pools and toddlers and no create a style). I’m having such a hard
time with being happy about the things I will be able to do in the Sims 4,
because there are so many things I used to do in the Sims 3, but I won’t be
able to do them now. What is the point of taking so many features out from
the actual gameplay? Why are you taking so many steps back? I just don’t
get it.

KuddlyKisses says:

I REALLY don’t understand how so many people can be OKAY with what is
happening to The Sims franchise -_- It’s just a money-grabbing
commercial…ugh. How can they take out key functions of the game and
expect people to pay more?! Granted the game has some new features, but are
they actually better? The character push and pull customization is really
cool, but they have AGAIN left out height sliders (which players have been
wanting since The Sims 2). How can they call this a sequel when it has LESS
than The Sims 2 or 3 base game had? Heck, even The Sims 1 had pools! The
worst part is…THEY WANT $60 FOR THIS not completed base game!!! I’m sorry
EA, but I’ve had ENOUGH! I don’t even want MORE for my money. I just want
the basics -_-

UniQueLyEviL says:

Smarter, Weirder….POOLESSS. Why? So you guys can sell a SUPER SUMMER FUN
POOL EXPANSION FOR $40?! >=(((((((((((((((((((((((((((

I’ve been a fan of this franchise from the very beginning but that stuff
has only been getting more and more predictable and insulting to your
fanbase.

dillonft says:

EA feel dying from laughter is the BEST and most REALISTIC idea they’ve
ever come up with.. But then they decide to remove TODDLERS. LMAO WHAT A
JOKE. 

Mary C.T.P. says:

1. No pools/swimwear
2. No toddlers
3. Teens look like adults
4. EA can’t even give us a real gameplay video

Amanda Hedges says:

Oh look! Now we are butterflies! Magic transformation from babies to
children. No, I assure you that it’s completely normal to grow 3 feet in
one year! No, you aren’t supposed to have a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year of life,
heavens no! Skip from year one to year 5 how sensible!!! Here I give you,
the most realistic game, butterfly people included! 

MacSkiddo says:

Listen i see what they mean by no Pools or Toddlers…. mabye they dont
want to add something that they know will be boring because i know for
awhile Toddlers were boring untill Generations and Pools untill Seasons and
Island Paradise…. i think its for the best so they can come up with new
ideas for toddlers and pools…. who knows they could add Toddlers and
Pools in a Patch update 

MiSugarsimful says:

Is that a tram I see at the beginning of the trailer that would be so fab
if EA put trams in the game but are they for show or can your sims interact
with them like the car’s, I wish EA would show some actual game play of
#TheSims4 hopefully when it gets closer to the release date they will show
some game play or a walk through :)

Rachel Hannon says:

Also sorry I didn’t have enough room I’m happy with how the game turned out
EA did a wonderful job I wish the next explanation has toddlers and pools
added and maybe if we’re lucky the next expansion will have open world so
people STOP COMPLAINING but really EA I’m gonna say this again next
expansion add toddlers and pool and open world thank you

Grave Sweeney says:

Yeah I hate that theres no toddler’s… that makes no sense. Pools I can
live without. But there better be an expansion pack!

Marienny Jimenez says:

ooh seeing all of these trailers makes me wanna play sims 4 but it is so
expensive and I am not gonna preorder if i don’t even kno wat to expect 100%
I am seeing so many comments about pools and toddlers? i am not completely
sure if thats inlcuded but why would they even take that out, it is obvious
LOTS of people want that feature. Right now i want to belive they do have
it in the game, but we have to be patient it comes out September so they
still have lots of time to add new things, but i did notice that in create
a sim they don’t have sliders for colors of hair, skin, etc. I am
dissapointed of that because I really like that in sims 3 but the sliders
for everything else i guess is okay to go

Erykah Adams says:

Jesus some of yall are ASSHOLES! If you don’t like what you see don’t don’t
ducking buy the game.. you don’t have to comment about how much you think
it sucks! You haven’t played it yet, and Maxis has been working their asses
off to make a game that will work for everybody.. yall are making all these
hateful comments but you should realize they actually see the stuff yall
put down there.. some of that stuff can be really mean and it’ll stress
them out even more than they already are.. if you don’t like the game that
much then just quit watching the videos cut there are actual people here
who appreciate it.. who cares of there are no pools or toddlers YOU KNOW
they’re coming back in another expansion pack.. what else is knew.. you act
like this is something new! if they put all that stuff in the base game no
one’s gonna the the other packs.. which means they would lose money, which
means no money for producing any more games…. 

Rax says:

R.I.P Pools.

Kaje Jay says:

I got to thinking, maybe toddlers aren’t playable like babies, that’s why
they didn’t show up in the create-a-sim age cue…thingy. I mean, I have no
problem not being able to control them, but to be a legacy player and not
have them at all…well that’s a whole ‘nother story. 

bubblegum heart says:

They’re focusing too much on this whole “weirder stories” thing. What if I
don’t WANT “weird” stories?

stevenutah says:

I wish the textures and graphics were better! I’m a bit dissapointed with
the visuals, really similar to The Sims 3, this cartoonish look. But well,
let’s see..

DaisyBow - says:

So there’s loading screens between lots now??? 

Mekired says:

Hah, everyone’s gonna pirate it, so I don’t think it even matters if they
come out with expansion packs.

jimjamsim says:

What you’re not getting –
> Toddlers
> Pools
> Create a style.
> Woohoo skill… (I don’t see why people are so pissed off at that.)

What you ARE getting –
> Cars
> I saw a boat on the water at one point in another trailer.
> Trams
> Emotions
> Advanced CAS
> Advanced building
> Advanced buying
> 5 districts within a neighbour hood
> Very short loading times
> More items in CAS
> Babies with ACTUAL LEGS
> A great new look
> New careers
> A F*CKIN’ CUPCAKE MACHINE!
> New deaths
> New emotion deaths.
> Clubs in the base game
> Pianos in the base game

You’re all looking at the bad stuff and not the good stuff. Some of the
stuff we don’t have will be added in either updates or EPs like in The Sims
3. In the end, you’re gonna buy the game anyway. I also have no idea where
people are getting the idea of cars being decor from. :I Probs just looking
for something more to complain and cry about. God, simmers have become so
whiney. You’re missing pools and toddlers and create a style. They could
easily be added in the future. It’s not like you’re missing huge chunks of
the game. At least we haven’t gone back to being on one lot at a time. At
least we’re going to get less bugs. At least we’re going to be getting a
more advanced game which can ACTUALLY BE IMPROVED.

Raylyn MoCo says:

Guess what guys. You can not choose if they are right or left handed
anymore. It was just tweeted by sim guru grant. Even thought they said that
you could do that in the beginning. Wow this is so dissapointing. So much
stuff being taken away. I know right and left handed option isn’t a big
deal compared to pools and toddlers, but it just shows how they just keep
on taking stuff away. What a rip off.
