I would love if Sims 4 had an option to play as your sim, see everything from their perspective, put yourself more into the game. You could feel what it is like to live in the houses and walk around the town, and look at sims face to face and drive the cool cars, etc. Then switch back into God-mode when it suited. I don't think there are many good rpg games with the focus on home and everyday life that sims has. Until virtual reality is available to the general public, it could be the closest we get.
Anyone else any thoughts on this?

I'd be happy to have it be a seperate game as long as it wasn't an excuse to cop out on some of the features in the sims games like building and adjusting decor and free play, all the choices we currently have.

The Sims 4 General DiscussionThey could get their inspiration from already existing games.
The Supernatural ep could take inspiration from Vampire the Masquerade.
They could also take inspiration from Prototype for a Heroes and Villians ep.
But the ESRB rating on The Sims would make the quests feel pretty bland.
But I would like to be able to switch to first-person camera and see from their perspective. Just like using camera mode. The camera would be 'glued' to the sims face and the sim would move around as you have directed them in normal mode: the sim is uncontrollable but you can pan the camera around a little bit.
I just think the live-mode camera could be improved: it's hard to get good angles, and see your sims faces.
But I won't like if The Sims 4 become a RPG, because I hate the game rules and I want to rule my Sims world.

The Sims 4 General DiscussionI agree. The Sims is supposed to be a life simulator, not a life RPG. As a seperate game, it might be fun to try out!
The live-mode camera improvement would be great. :thumbup:

OP, I'm thinking you do mean 1st person view. Lots of games that aren't RPG have an option to drop down the camera and walk around in the towns or cities or the simulated game's houses etc. to view from 'eyelevel view' everything in it.
You can use the arrows on your keyboard to move forward, sideways, etc. I love those features..especially when you can just use the mouse forward or backward to view something or pretend you are the simulated person and walking around the town or in the buildings.
TS4's camera options would have to include an option to switch back and forth by clicking a simple icon/button on the game panel. I have wanted this forever in TS3. Since the worlds are open and so decorative.
But TS3's cameraman mode doesn't even allow us to get as close to the Sim or the objects or floor etc. as TS2's cameramanmode and I doubt they will consider it next time..since it seems they actually removed the up close view from this game's cameraman mode....which the term cameraman mode isn't even mentioned in the guides for this game like in TS2's Read Me files.
But yeah, a 1st person view is helpful when trying to see what is blocking a simulated pixel let alone allowing you to immerse yourself in any game.
I just hope they return to the 'closeup' camera view TS2 had instead of this game..which seems I can't get as close as we could before let alone no 1st person view.
As for Sims 3 RPG? No thanks, I don't like doing my own chores, let alone my sims. Now if my sims could come do my chores....
What would you have written?
I would only like it as an option in the game myself, just a mode you could switch into. Thanks for all the feedback, very interesting opinions
Lol, not quite what I had in mind!
Oh dear, what have I done! I was just suggesting an option of first person view within the game, that you could switch into, to see from your sims point of view, and operate in that mode for a while. I wouldn't want sims 4 to be an all out RPG game either.
OMG, it's a freakin' Sims game...ie, sandbox, godgame!!
Not an RPG!
*shakes head in utter dismay!*
That sort of game design is clearly targeting the casual gamers and not the core Sims fanbase :roll: Because if it plays like WA (aka ZERO sandbox features), then this means ZERO replay value for any EP released under TS4. :? You could only play through the game 1-2 times at most before being bored to death. :roll:
