The latest High School Teaser has shown more than we expected!
The Sims Team has posted another teaser leading up to the big Livestream for The Sims 4 and High School Years Expansion Pack tomorrow!
In the teaser there have been some very hard hints dropped left and right about an upcoming feature. Many believe it’s called Wants & Fears which we had in the early days of The Sims 2:
For The Sims 2 this feature was a huge gameplay mechanic that encouraged (and discouraged) players from certain activities in The Sims. The Sims 4 had a similar feature in the game since the release of Base Game called “Whims”, but those have been optionally disabled through a Game Option in the Gamplay Settings. Possibly because The Sims Team didn’t add anything complex or new on top of it.
@anyaof7890 on Twitter posted an image from one of the SimGurus a few weeks ago. Where they accidentally showed a new revamped User Interface look of the Whims:
Coincidence? We think not.
The teaser for The Sims 4 High School talks about Wants and Fears like an actual feature in The Sims 4, with visual representation of what they look like in the form of thought bubbles. Fears have an angry, erratic bubble while Wants are more calm, more circular shape.
