The Sims 4 Preview by Game Revolution
The Sims carries a strange stigma, as if a hardcore gamer like myself can’t like the series without having my peers glare at me with a sort of “oh, so you like that dollhouse simulator, huh?” Oh, yes, please bathe me in your judgmental stares. I feed off them. Okay, I lied. My peers don’t really care. They just want me to stop playing fake life and go outside where real life apparently exists. Escapism, our collective ass.
But really, The Sims 4 hits my guilty pleasure spot. Though the demo Electronic Arts showed was still in alpha, the smoothness of the character creation and the user interface was even more incredible than the two prior trailers showing the two. Seeing is believing, after all, and being able to sculpt a brand-new Sim like clay, just by pulling on its cheeks, shoulders, and legs without having to enter any numbers is the very definition of user-friendly.

SimsVIP confirmed that the Autosave feature that we’ve seen in newer EA games will also be included in The Sims 4. This means that, in case your game crashes or your power goes off, your in-game progress will be saved!
The Sims 4 Preview by GamaSutra
The Sims 4 is due for release this fall, and aims to build on top of the previous installments in the franchise in various meaningful ways.

Gamasutra caught up with Ryan Vaughan, producer on The Sims 4, to find out what exactly this injection of emotion even means. Is it all marketing buzzwords, or has the team really hit upon the next generation of AI in video games?
