The single biggest problem here is that the seamless environment that characterised The Sims 3 has been replaced by a more strictly divided world where loading screens attack you whenever you want to pay your neighbour a visit or get our of your house. In many ways this feels like a return to the first and second game in the series, in a negative sense. What roads your Sim will take through life opens up new choices, activities and objectives, and this adds a lot of replay value, not least in how different conversations can play out. After the death of his mother our young boy felt very sad and angry for a long time, which affected his behaviour considerably. How you feel depends in turn on how you take care of yourself during your day-to-day life. The new interface allows the player to see how the Sims are doing at any given moment, and what options for interactions you have will depends on how the Sims feel in the situation at hand. Other than that, the system for moods and emotions is a good addition. This may seem like a small change at first glance, but it really adds more to the experience than you might think.

Our current Sim is named Simon Seduce, and he's a womaniser with a hectic triple life. Wait, that's a lie, there's a lot of the latter as a matter of fact.

This means that we don't have to relive everyday events such as forgotten passwords to email accounts, fungal infections in the more private parts of our bodies, or formal and awkward fish dinners with new acquaintances. ДЄs usual when it comes to The Sims, the simulation of human life is held at a twisted and easygoing level. But first, let's start from the beginning. Although perhaps not as many things as we had thought. Naturally we had high expectations for the fourth installment and now that it finally has arrived, there is much to say. With every new chapter of The Sims, Maxis have gotten closer to their vision of a broad, easy-going and loveable life simulator.
