thanks to @MolliMontana for this who sent me the link

Some "Translation" for the people who don't speak German (there are a couple of new features shown here)
0:00 Showing off the Park in Oasis Springs
0:45 Interaction with the pond: Go fishing, Catch frogs!
1:00 "Hidden" Mineshaft you can unlock with Handiness 10 - not so hidden after all ^^
1:21 Herbs (Sage) that can't be harvested since the Sim's gardening skill isn't high enough
1:29 You can dig up those mounds to find fossils (and probably gems, ores etc)
Talks about every neighbourhood has public spaces with thingsand collectibles to discover
1:55 you can modify ALL lots at any time by going into Build Mode (at least public lots - I'm not sure about other housholds)
2:20 instant transition from live mode to build mode
2:30 shows Information to the lot, enabling you to edit the lot (from top to bottom) Residental, General, Bar, Library, Fitness, Lounge, Museum, Nightclub, Park
Also shows the requirements for each lot
e.g Fitness needs 4 Exercise Machines, 1 shower, 1 toilet and 1 sink
2:55 switch through times of day (dawn, midday, dusk, night)
3:25 chose colours of premade room
3:30 shows how you can also pick individual items within the room to place down on your lot
4:00 Designtool - lets you change the colour of objects
5:05 shows how you can position objects on walls freely if you hold down Alt
5:45 you are able to stack wall objects and windows. They have asked the devs at Creators Camp who said that players should be given more freedom. So if you want to put a deco on your window - you can do so.
5:55 shows different room heights
There are also 3 different window sizes each (that was news to me!)
6:05 Entire house changes with wall size
6:10 shows modifications of the roof. Pressing and holding Alt while modifying lets you change each side/corner individually
6:35 roof decorations can be placed anywhere. Smoke comes form the chimney if you have a fireplace - no matter where the chimney is on the roof
7:20 ability to switch off the snapping of counters!
7:40 top shows premade rooms, 2nd shows items sorted by rooms and 3rd sorted by function
7:55 shows search function

Thanks for posting another great video and providing all that extra useful information
I'm only up to the ~1:29 mark but I wanted to ask before I forgot; I don't recall seeing the giant flashing pause and start buttons in any other videos (I've only really been paying attention to creators camp videos though). Does anyone know what's going on with them? I assume (yikes!) that there's a camera mode in TS4 but part of my enjoyment is taking pictures and sharing them, so the giantness worries me a bit. Not too big a deal sense it does flash but I thought I'd ask if anyone knew about them
But they also said that they paused this video several times so we see the Pause symbol because not only Sims4 is paused but also the video - so the narrator has more time to explain things (Pauseception ^^)
Edit - ok I watched it again - the pause symbol is apparently from the video capturing software they used. The game isn't paused. So we don't need to worry about big pause symbols barring our view
Ahh thank you so much! That's a relief :P The video capture program' style matches TS4's UI perfectly. I started watching again and noticed that when pause flashes that the game is still 'playing'. Wouldn't have noticed that without your comment.
Vampirspiegelei - Thank you for sharing and for confirming that the public lots are indeed capable of being edited. It seems that was a misconception that we could not edit the public spaces - when I knew a Guru had said we could - but we could not use just anything on those places as they have their own content just for the public spaces. I am assuming then all that content we saw was the public spaces content mostly - or did I get that wrong?

Asterravos - I kept it in mind because of trying to play Sims 3 in Sims 3 mode when it first came out drove me nuts until I figured out we had a Sims 2 option - like the edge scrolling . I never adapted to the Sims 3 without edge scrolling as the camera was so hard to manuever without it. So I made a mental note of things like that when I heard it this time around. Trying to make my own transition from Sims 3 to Sims 4 as painless as possible so i can just get in there and have a ball. hehehe

The giant pause thing looks like a feature in Nvidia Shadowplay streaming.
