Hmm looks like these new build features will blow Paralives out the water when Sims 5 is released (time point 31:29)

I wonder though, with being able to sync play across devices, one of them being mobile, if that is going to make Sims 5 a less powerful game and thus make it a tad bit lackluster? Or it could be a good thing.
Dunno
As a builder I really 💛 the new build mode where you can customize items - we've wanted those features from TS3 in TS4 for years. Especially resizing the bed and changing the frame. It will make creating a cohesive build SO MUCH easier!
Psss, I really 💙 that the host of the Behind the Sims summit is the star from the show
Everything is Trash, she's really funny.

I don't see the point of gaming on such a tiny screen.
But I do see why they'd do it. That aims to a more global audience.
As someone that actively plays using merfolk in my game, there are entire chunks of gameplay missing that I supplement with gameplay from other packs…
They really should have announced refreshes to show that they are going to do something to make the Sims 4 better. There ARE things they CAN do to improve things WITHIN the limits of the game.
Also, occult gameplay doesn’t start until the teen life stage… I probably won’t be using babies just like I skip over the toddler and child life stages…
The only thing… THE only thing that caught my interest was the boat house looking thing… AND there’s a very good chance that a pack with them WILL EXCLUDE gameplay that really should be in ISLAND LIVING.
If I understood her correctly, I think it means if you play mobile, PC or Console you can swap between the platforms while you are playing. Seems like they demonstrated starting a build on the PC and then picking it up on mobile and seeing it real time on both platforms.
I'm jumping around the 31 minute replay of the behind the sims summit stream event, so I didn't catch everything from the livestream yesterday -- did they share details about the new EPs in the livestream?
@troshalom I was mistaken. It’s worse than I thought.
The boat was at the end of the segment for the Sims Freeplay… So the most interesting and relevant part of that video was also misleading…
You can see it at 22:22 of the video.
Also, YouTube has the video broken into segments with each segment labeled with what it is about. The segments are as follows:
Countdown
Intro with Host Phoebe Robinson
The Sims 4 News with Phil Ring
Early Concepts for the Sims 4
Kelsey on the Street
The Sims 4 x Overwolf
The Sims VP & GM Welcome
22 Years of the Sims
Head of the brand introduces the Plumbob
Anitra’s Behind the Sims
Dance Break
The Sims Freeplay News
The Sims Mobile News
The Simmers Make the Sims (This section completely excludes everyone in the forums and features YouTubers that I would love to stop seeing videos from)
The Next Iteration of the Sims
Early Concepts of Project Rene
Closing and Infants Tease
And yeah, nothing about the Sims 4 News starting at 7:23 offered anything I felt was reassuring.
I would say it's their opinion to think Sims 4 is a bad game. Just like it's someone else's opinion to enjoy Sims 4.
