Some questions about Sims4

Hi everyone, I've been playing Sims2 pretty much everyday since it came out. I love it. I tried Sims3 for a few weeks but couldn't get on with it.
My pc recently died which meant I needed a new one. But my new pc has windows 8, so I ordered the Sims4 and am waiting for it to arrive.
I have a certain way of playing sims, which is where I mostly leave them in a house (I call them experiment houses) on free will, I only interfere if they need to get points for work, to greet people who walk past or if they the need to get married/have a baby comes up in their wants. They have to reach the top of their career before they can get out of the house, and then I move them into a flat and then they have to have babies which I then put back into my experiment house and start it off again. So my questions:
1) Are the sims good at free will? Will they look after themselves?
2) Are there flats?
3) Will they keep a baby alive on free will?
4) Do they all stand there and do nothing if a baby crys?
5) Are there still nannies on the sims?
6) Can you bring sims back to life?
7)Are there still zombies?
8) I've heard a ghost can be a playable character? Is this true?
That's all I've got so far. Thanks for your help! I'm going mad not having any Sims game to play!

I knew about the toddlers, kinda sad they left them out :(
Interesting to know that the baby is just an object. And you can leave them on their own! :O So when you are out the house, does the baby just move about on it's own or does it just stay in it's cot?
And what about kids? I guess they are also left on their own?
There are still teens right?
So if someone dies, you can't ask the grim reaper to spare them?
Does the ghost take up one of your playable character spaces?
Sorry now there is more questions! :)
I only ever played sims 2 before sims 4 and I have really enjoyed it.
A recepie and a book. If you have a sim with level 10 writing he can write "The Book of Life". Ghosts that read it will become alive once again.
You "can't" make a ghost straight from cas so to speak. You'll need to upload, when creating a sim, a ghost sim from the gallery and go from there.
When there are no sims that you control in the lot where you live the baby goes to the daycare service (he disapears).
I'm not sure about kids but I think they can stay in the house on their own when there is nobody, I might be wrong though...
There are teens but they have the same heigh as Young Adults, Adults and Elders.
You can plead the Grimmy not to take a sim's life yes
The ghost takes up a playable character space yes. You can control them too. If you have a high relationship with one you can ask them to move to your household.
Yes, I made a experiment about this and can say they do.
2) Are there flats?
No. Yet
3) Will they keep a baby alive on free will?
Yes, they seem to care more about the babies. And there's a lot of cute interactions.
4) Do they all stand there and do nothing if a baby crys?
No.
5) Are there still nannies on the sims?
No. But there is a daycare which they are sent everytime the sims go to work.
6) Can you bring sims back to life?
Yes, via the Book of Life (Writer aspiration) or Ambrosia (recipe)
7)Are there still zombies?
Nothing yet.
8) I've heard a ghost can be a playable character? Is this true?
Yes, if one sim dies you can ask them to join back the family and play as them again. They have special abilities and behavior depending on the way they died. For example, if one sim died from drowning, they always leave puddles on where they pass, if they died by electrocution, they always break objects on freewill.
So you don't have to have the ghost take up a space, you get a choice?
And last question I can think of, can you still play your own music through the stereo?
It's been dispatched! I hope it's here tomorrow :)
Yes, but the music has to be in MP3 format.
I hope your game arrives quick!

2) Are there flats? Nope.
3) Will they keep a baby alive on free will? Never played with a bay sim but most probably yeah.
4) Do they all stand there and do nothing if a baby crys? I don't think so.
5) Are there still nannies on the sims? Nope. But babies can get send off to daycare.
6) Can you bring sims back to life? Yes. But it's really difficult. The other sims in the household has to cook something called ambrosia.
7)Are there still zombies? No. Not yet.
8) I've heard a ghost can be a playable character? Is this true? Yes.
And yeah, you don't have to invite the ghost to your household. You can also release them to the Spirit World or whatever it's called. And you can play custom music too although I don't, so I can't say if there is a problem with it, cuz I think there's some glitch that doesn't allow you to do that.
I have dyslexia so my grammar sucks.

1) yes they are
2) no but you can build some pretend ones
3) probably
4) I don't think so
5) no but Babies can be home alone and stay alive
6) yes you can
7) not yet
8) yes it is
My blog: ning's backlog
Don't forget the forum rules are on the forum- go find 'em!
Yes since a patch, it has been much better.
2) Are there flats?
Not yet.
3) Will they keep a baby alive on free will?
Yes better since it got patched.
4) Do they all stand there and do nothing if a baby cries?
Not anymore, patch fixed it. Only advice is don't go to space when no one else is home because baby could be taken away then.
5) Are there still nannies on the sims?
Yeah sadly no nannies.
6) Can you bring sims back to life?
Yes. Guide can be found here: http://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/death/
7)Are there still zombies?
Not yet. But Sims feel like it sometimes. XD
8) I've heard a ghost can be a playable character? Is this true?
Yes and the death guide should help with that. Ghosts came with a patch. Ghost babies are not possible sadly.
Kids are left on their own devices and have no curfew and yes teens are same height as adults. They can mess around in bed now.
You can ask Grim reaper to spare them but the chance of them sparing the life is pretty low. I heard the voodoo doll can help with this sometimes.
Yes ghost do take playable character space but the game is pretty brutal at having priority of culling them first.

The game updates automatically through Origin. You do have the option to set Origin to not update automatically (which is useful if you use mods and need to pull them out for update time); if you do this, you can right-click on Sims 4 in Origin to check for updates.
