UPDATE: @LyonDolphin tweeted us with The Sims 4’s new plumbob in better resolution!
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.
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:
They are messing with you, this is not our art for the Moschino pack.
That is all I will say.

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:
Este Icono me tiene desconcertado!!! 🙃😅@SimGuruRusskii sera que me podrías decir el por que de esto?? o al menos si no es nada malo? 🤷🏻♂️ pic.twitter.com/iMigJ0S6Sv

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!

Yeah, people say that they hate it or it’s too basic, but I like the design.
I think it bad look the graphics of it , its not good , if they fix it maby will be better.
Seems very fake. The icon magically appeared on his computer? Just for him?

Reply to Connor

Reply to Connor
Totally fake, I’m expecting much more high fashion designs for the moschino
pack or count me out
Reply to Connor
It’s like that on my computer too, but I didn’t think much of it until now.
No I don’t like it! The original Sims 4 plumbing looks very sleek and modern, this looks like a step back.

I like the new plumbob!
Reply to Ian
Save it for the Sims 5!
it’s kinda ugly in my opinion
Why are people taking crap about the new Plumbob? It looks nice!
Reply to Deanna Monske
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.
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!
In all honesty it looks like the mobile version and ew seems more like a step back
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.

Crap, just like the game itself.

Its like, a strange retro kind of plumbob. It looks really cool!
Reply to Kat
Yeah! And they’re just changing it for the logo and stuff.
Isn’t the gold jacket one you get from the style influencer career? The hair definitely looks new, though.
The new Plumbob is horrible, sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It looks like it should have been used for like sims 2 ahahaha

And what’s wrong with The Sims 2?
don’t really like it, save it for the sims 5
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.
Reply to KatBradbury
It’s not from her to work. You get it in the base game.

I meant get to work.
I think they should have waited until Sims 5 for a new plumbob.
