1/4

The Sims 4 is a single-player life simulation video game that focuses on creating and managing a neighborhood of virtual people called Sims. This fourth installment in The Sims franchise offers comprehensive customization features, creation tools, emotes, and character traits. The improvements aim to create smarter Sims with unique looks, personalities, and behaviors, allowing you to be more creative when creating your Sim. You can also create your own house from scratch in the game’s build mode. The Sims 4 for Mac OS X can be installed on computers with the Origin program and your Electronic Arts (EA) account.

Gameplay

The Sims 4 stands out from The Sims series, which focuses on individuality rather than features. This allows you to create deep, rich or comedic storylines. Called Smarter Sims, you can customize each playable character’s appearance, clothing, stats, skills, career, and walking style. Each of your Sims will experience a range of emotions triggered by your actions and/or the influence of other Sims, events, or objects.

Emotions such as flirtatiousness, embarrassment, and tension suggest new auctions and possible interactions. In this game, you can literally influence your Sim’s body and mind. Owning a Sim is like real life; you have to work, live at home, take care of your health and be sociable. Build mode is a separate set of customization features as it focuses more on building a house and designing its interior.

Both inside and outside the home, your Sim’s physical and mental needs must be met. For example, you made your Sim materialistic. This means that you will need to buy new items or renovate the house when the Sim gets sad. You can sell your old stuff if you no longer have space.
