The Sims™ 4

The Sims™ 4

Sims 4 is the latest installment of the popular Sims series of games. It has the most stunning graphics so far and a lot of new features. The Sims 4 is a life simulation game where you control the lives of virtual people called Sims. You create Sims, design their houses, furnish them, and control the way they work, play and behave. You can put their lives on the fast track or slow it down by choosing their career, aspirations, and life goals. You can exercise control over your Sims even when you're offline. You can play as a male or female Sim and customize your Sim's appearance. There are over 40 hair styles, 25 clothing colors, and 10 body types. You can build and furnish your Sim's house the way you want.  

Gameplay

Sims 4 gameplay is much like the gameplay of the previous part of the series. It means that the player controls his/her player-created characters. The player can choose to control one of these characters, or several characters at the same time.

The player can have two kinds of control over the game. The first one is the direct control. It means that the player controls actions of the character directly. The second one is the indirect control. It means that the player controls the actions of the character in a more indirect way. For instance, if the player needs to control the character to enter a building, the player can use the direct control by making the character run to the door and then open it directly. Or, the player can use the indirect control by making the character run to the door and then make the door open automatically by using a button.

Graphics

Sims 4 graphics didn't change much since Sims 3, but still, they are a little bit better. Sims 4 has better textures and lighting. The hair is also a little bit better. When you start the game, you will notice that the game looks a little bit darker. It's because of the shadows. They are more realistic and don't have that blocky look. Sims 4 has better view distance and more detailed objects.

Replayability

Sims 4 replayability is based on a huge amount of content in the game and the fact that the game is mostly unpredictable, so you don't get bored of it. You can always try a new approach in playing the game (different house style, different sim traits, different aspirations, etc.). The  Sims 4 is a game about possibilities. You can play it in so many ways, there's no way you'll get bored. You can play the game in a very random way, or in a very specific way. It's up to you to decide what to do.

Conclusion

The Sims 4 is a very good game, but it has some flaws. The first one is that there are many bugs. The second one is that the Sims 4 doesn't really bring something new to the series. It's just a new part of the series. But still, it's a good game and it is worth buying it.
