The Sims 4 – Brand New Trailer (in Russian)!
Update: The Sims Russia took the video down. It seems they published the video a bit too soon :-/
The Sims 4 Gallery Spotlight : Week 1
As many of you already know The Sims 4 Create-A-Sim Demo is in it’s testing phase and it has been sprinkled throughout the community through invitation or random materialization under “My Games” in your Origin client. Many of the testers have already populated the gallery with nearly 90 thousand households at the point of this posting. Wow!
This brings us to a new weekly feature titled, you guessed it, The Sims 4 Gallery Spotlight! That’s right! Every week I will feature 4 households that catch my eye on the gallery. Now, they aren’t just any old households, but ones that I feel utilize the full power and creativity of the community.
Now, without further delay (too late) feast your eyes upon this week’s picks!
Being a gal who grew up watching the original Disney movies, I couldn’t pass up this lovely household by JgRiot. Each Princess shown is unique and captures a bit of the Disney style. The household includes (L to R) : Cinderella, Jasmine, Ariel, Belle, Aurora, Snow White and Mulan. Look at the love that went into choosing each princess’ outfit to match their original dress! Very cute and worth a look.
Before making my selections today I sent out a tweet asking what kind of Sims you guys wanted showcased in my first piece. The response I got was Pretty and Unique, well, Just Fabulous falls into one of those categories for sure! I picked this Sim because she shows, without a doubt, what unique Sims you can make with the CAS Demo. She looks like the perfect sim for an Uglacy and c’mon she IS fabulous.
And this handsome fella is Mark Mohawk, which I think would be an interesting character to drop into my game. He seems to be a snappy dresser and has a passion for the color blue. What do you think? Too much? I’m thinking we might have just found Just Fabulous her knight in shining armor. 😉
Wow! This last post, well, it seems to by one of MY households. Imagine that! No, I’m not bragging or throwing shade. I’m throwing out a request, y’all. As you can see I re-created the beautiful Caliente sisters from The Sims 2, and what I want from you readers with the demo is to make your favorite or most hated legacy Sims-game family in the CAS Demo and upload it to the gallery. Just use #lovcat in the description on the household screen so I can find it and I’ll showcase one community-made family each week! You can re-create sims from The Sims 1, The Sims 2 or The Sims 3. I can’t wait to see what you come up with. 🙂
(This is a standing invitation and will continue on after the demo is released to the public, don’t worry.)
Well, that’s it for this week’s showcase. Comment below and let me know what you want to see for next week. Celebrity Sims? Some more Uglacy candidates or maybe even some hotties?
Take care!
Can you run The Sims 4?
Website named canyourunit.com just added The Sims 4 to their PC-test listing. If you’re not a tech junkie and you don’t know do you meet the minimum system requirements, this easy tool will let you know is your Computer ready or not for the game.
Follow these steps below to see is your PC capable of playing The Sims 4:
Step 1:
Enter canyourunit.com. From there, search for The Sims 4 and select ”Can You Run It” button.
Step 2:
Select Automatic Detection option. Please note that you’ll need Java in order for this site to scan your PC specs.
Step 3:
Allow Java to use the detection tool. This tool is virus free and won’t harm your Computer.
Step 4:
See does your Computer meet the minimal requirements. In my case, the processor was registered as a single-core processor even though it’s a 2x 2.90 GHz dual core processor. If you meet the same error, it’s ok as long as your processor has higher specs than 2x 1.80 GHz.
The Sims 4 Blog: Familiar Faces!
The Landgraabs are back, still living it up as the richest family and staking their claim in Oasis Springs. We’ve brought Malcolm back during those awful awkward teen years, complete with a dastardly snobby attitude. Though Geoffrey is trying his best to be the good natured father Malcolm needs, will Nancy’s scheming ways lead Malcolm down a darker path? Either way we’re sure this historic family will provide lots of fun and mischief in The Sims 4.
Then we have the Caliente household with our two favorite sisters Dina, Nina, and their mother, who has been re-imagined as the attractive and vivacious Katrina. Katrina has ignored her better judgment and let the infamous womanizer Don Lothario mooch his way into her house and quite possibly her heart. Don’s eyes are on Katrina for now, but how long will it be before Nina and Dina are lured in by his charm? Will Nina decide to steal Don away from her mother? Will Dina finally earn enough money to get her own place and get away from all the craziness? All we know is that it won’t be long before sparks start flying!
Johnny Zest is an ambitious new character we like to introduce. Disowned from the Landgraab family when he dropped out of school, he now hopes to find his own fame and fortune as a standup comedian. He’s learned the hard lesson that when the Landgraabs cut you off, they cut you off all the way! Living in a trailer, blessed with the Landgraab looks but without the name or the money; will he make it to the top to show mom and pop he had what it takes all along? We’ll leave the fate of this black sheep in your capable hands.
Finally we’ve got a new batch of youths known as the Roomies. Your typical sitcom setup with ‘J’ (Jameson) the body building hunk, Gavin the gentleman muser, Mitchell the couch potato bro, and Zoe, that girl next door who is actually right where she wants to be, having fun with the friend-zoned boys.
No matter which familiar face you play with, we are convinced this cast of characters will add a quirkiness to your game that only The Sims can bring!
