Everbodyplays (UK): How (not) to fall in love on The Sims 4
One of the first, and coolest things we got to do during our recent trip out to Cologne for gamescom was to get to go hands-on with a near-finished build of the Sims 4. But while Sarah got to work making a digital version of her and I, giving them a personality of their own before playing God over their lives, I took a slightly different approach, and delved into the pre-built scenario saves instead. Intended to show off the various weird and wacky situations your Sims could find themselves in, one starred two warring scientists, one was a star crossed relationship that would never work out – and the other, was set in a bar. Here, a young male Sim who we’ll call Joe Noluck, possessor of a spectacular bachelor pad (more of a mansion if we’re honest) and a winning quiff, has his heart set on Hildegard Tuget, a fiery ginger with a temper to boot. We’re not making this up either, she really does have a fiery temper – it’s one of her traits.
Sat next to each other having a casual chat, things were going swimmingly enough. That’s when we stepped in, taking over young Joe Noluck, to help him win the affections of his soul mate. Unfortunately for us, she was in no mood for a chat. With a bar at the top of the screen constantly reminding us that we were stuck in an “awkward conversation”, the fiery Hildegard seemed frosty to say the least. True to her name, she was playing (Hildeg) ‘ard tu get…

Tutorial: Editing meshes in The Sims 4
Tutorial made by lumialoversims.tumblr.com
Just to get this out of the way, I am in no way a master at this stuff. To be honest, I actually just begun learning about meshing so I thought i’d share what I’ve learnt with you all.
What this tutorial will teach you:
- How to create default replacement meshes (i.e. editing the the original to create a new default replacement)
- How to grab a mesh from the game and into milkshape
- How to get the game to recognize the edited mesh
What this tutorial will not teach you:
- How to do recolours/texturing
- How to mesh in-depth
- How to create non-default meshes -this means you cannot create your own mesh. You can only edit an extracted mesh.
This tutorial assumes you know the basics of meshing and are familiar with Milkshape.
You cannot add or remove vertices at the moment so all we can pretty much do is shift them around.
Here’s what we’ll be accomplishing:

The Sims 4 – New Trailer coming on Saturday!
New The Sims 4 trailer coming in two days! How does your Sim get ready to celebrate?
NOTE: Don’t trust everything you see Online!
Hey guys!
I’m here to warn you about several things I read about The Sims 4 on the internet these last couple of days. Before I begin with this post, please note that I’m not picking any sides of this story, I’m just here to warn you about spreading false and unconfirmed facts about the game.
I came across this list of The Sims 4’s ”missing features”. Actually, I stumbled upon this list several times.
I’m here to tell you that the ”89 features missing from The Sims 4” post is bogus and contains some features/objects that were added in 13 years of developing The Sims Franchise (2000 – 2013/The Sims 1 2000 – 2003/The Sims 2 2004 – 2008/The Sims 3 2009 – 2013). Although the list doesn’t contain content from Additions of The Sims Games, it still contains lots of content from features that were added during the releasement of The Sims 3 Patches/Updates. There is absolutely no way to add features from 13 years of work on Sims Games to a Sims game that was worked on approx. 3 – 4 years.
Things such as ”no animated hair” and ”no dreams” didn’t even exist in previous Sims base games, so I’m not sure why was that added to the list. Most features on that list were even removed in The Sims 3 and got an improvement.
This list spread like a wildfire all over the internet and it made a lot of people lose interest in the game.
The point of this post is to not trust everything you see or read online, since many people will do lots and lots of things just to get attention. Trust yourself and what you think about the game and choose carefully from who do you want to receive future information and updates.
If you still want to see what’s in and what’s out in The Sims 4, thesims.com forum member JoeWow1003 made an accurate list of new and missing features in the game. You can check it out HERE!
Thanks for reading this post and have a nice day!

The Sims 4: Create A Sim and Animation
Source: The Sims
The Sims 4 features perhaps the most powerful character creator in gaming. This tool offers a wide variety of customizable content, including physical features. You can make your Sims wispy thin or sumo wrestler large. Noses can be huge or tiny, hooked or straight, wide or narrow. Mouths can move around on the face. A Sim’s head can be squished or stretched, it’s all up to you.
While all of that variety is of course awesome, it also creates a huge challenge in terms of animation:
Imagine you are creating an animation where a Sim puts her hand close to her hip. In the animation, that hand will have a defined position in space – about three feet up from the ground and one foot over from the center of the Sim. The problem is that the hip on a sumo wrestler sized Sim would be an additional half foot out from where a more slender Sim’s hip would be. So when the Sim plays back that animation, their hand would be buried inside their body.

EA: We haven’t always been great listeners, but we’re getting better
Electronic Arts’ new CEO Andrew Wilson spoke to gamesindustry.biz and said that EA is getting better at listening to their fans. How much is there truth in that sentence and will they actually make their future video games everything we wanted? Time will tell..
Q: Services like EA Access to make sense in the context of this generation, which seems to largely about choice, whether that’s variety of games, how you want to buy, how you want communicate with other players. The experience is very open now.
AW: One of the things that we’re learning as we make the digital transformation is that we don’t need to guess what players want any more. For the longest time we had to guess, and the first opportunity to find out whether you got it right or not was when you saw the game on the shelf. Now, we’re getting better at listening. We haven’t always been great listeners, but we’re getting better, and what that’s telling us is that people want choice. They want to be able to choose what’s right for them at a given moment in time. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all any longer. We’ve got to build a core platform, game engines and games that facilitate that.
