The Sims 4 could be getting an entirely new look!

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!

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

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

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.
