UPDATE: @LyonDolphin tweeted us with The Sims 4’s new plumbob in better resolution!

The Sims 4 could be getting an entirely new look!

The Sims 4 has had the same brand language and look ever since the full reveal of the game which happened in June 2014. However, it seems that 5 years of the same old identity is getting stale in the eyes of EA and Maxis!

@SimsHub has reported an interesting survey email which they’ve received today from EA. The survey email talks about player experience and satisfaction with certain EA video games. Still, that’s not what’s interesting about it. What really drew attention to their eyes is the fresh new plumbob along The Sims 4’s logo, featuring a new render that seems to showcase a new hairstyle and outfit on the far left along with other Sims that seem to be wearing either new stuff or stuff from previous packs – we can’t really tell as the image is very low-res.

The Sims 4 could be getting an entirely new look!

SimGuruGeorge was quick to response and clear the rumors that this render is in any way related to the upcoming Moschino Stuff Pack for The Sims 4:

Interestingly, @LyonDolhpin has reported a few days ago that their The Sims 4 Game Icon has completely changed on their computer. The game icon shows an identical plumbob that was leaked in the image above:

It’s definitely not an accident that the same fresh new plumbob leaks out twice in a matter of few days. Also, considering that the render above is not related to Moschino Stuff Pack in any way, it could mean that any new content shown inside of the render could be showcased somewhere else and who knows, maybe soon even in the Base Game!

I love the new plumbob! It looks so shiny and elegant!

Melissa

I really like it, great design!

Anonymous

Yeah, people say that they hate it or it’s too basic, but I like the design.

Sam7ny

I think it bad look the graphics of it , its not good , if they fix it maby will be better.

Connor

Seems very fake. The icon magically appeared on his computer? Just for him?

Kishka

I have the same icon

Hadrian

for me it also appears

SimmerJill

Totally fake, I’m expecting much more high fashion designs for the moschino
pack or count me out

Codi

It’s like that on my computer too, but I didn’t think much of it until now.

Ian

No I don’t like it! The original Sims 4 plumbing looks very sleek and modern, this looks like a step back.

Amelia

I like the new plumbob!

Bigimaginations

Save it for the Sims 5!

fd

it’s kinda ugly in my opinion

Deanna Monske

Why are people taking crap about the new Plumbob? It looks nice!

Nobody

I don’t either I think it looks cool. People are saying it’s like a sims 3 plumbob, but it looks great to me.

Avery

I don’t get all the on this new plumbob, I think the style of it is very and unique to anything we’ve seen before! It’s good to change things up!

that girl

In all honesty it looks like the mobile version and ew seems more like a step back

Wiired

It’s stupid to change the look of a game’s logo when halfway through it’s developments. That is of course IF this turns out to be the new look from now on, which is a shame because I could’ve made that plumbob in MS Paint in like, five minutes. The older one may have been pretty simple too, but at least it was interesting to look at. This one is just flat shapes and flat colors.

Radoslav

The Sims 4 is ending soon so its not halfway…

Me

It’s not ending soon. I know this was before the stream but….

Lisa

Crap, just like the game itself.

Radoslav

Nice one xD

Maze

The Plumbob gives me Sims 3 Vibes, but i actually love the sims 4 plumbob, don’t make it like this please

sreser

when will the update be?

Nikodemonek

Fake, the graphics and all… No no no, that looks like the Sims 1 plumbob! Like WHAT?!

Ido Sigelman

Ikr?

Kat

Its like, a strange retro kind of plumbob. It looks really cool!

Me

Yeah! And they’re just changing it for the logo and stuff.

JustASimmer

Isn’t the gold jacket one you get from the style influencer career? The hair definitely looks new, though.

Ido Sigelman

The new Plumbob is horrible, sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Emily ‍♀️

It looks like it should have been used for like sims 2 ahahaha

ParfaitDash

And what’s wrong with The Sims 2?

anon

don’t really like it, save it for the sims 5

KatBradbury

The blue shirt-jacket-scarf combo the guy with the camera is wearing is a thing we already have ingame, I think it’s from Get to Work but not quite sure.

Anonymous

It’s not from her to work. You get it in the base game.

Anonymous

I meant get to work.

Zander

I think they should have waited until Sims 5 for a new plumbob.
