Well, this is interesting. Some of us oldies have been requesting Maxis add back the game feature to use real images for Sims creation since The Sims ended. It was extremely helpful when wanting to add celebs to our games. Or maybe someone in your family. But this just cements to me that TS5 will use avatars and be multiplayer.

Interesting technology, I can't imagine that they would use this for anything else but a sims or a sim city game.
It remains to be seen if they will actually use the patents.

EA is known for running to get a patent when they know of other companies creating something they haven't quite finished in development or wished they had first.

I’m really excited by this! I loved creating people the way they described in TS1, and making or downloading Sims that look like real people is one of my favorite Simming activities!

Wow!!! 😱😱😱😱😱 do you think this would be for sims 4? Would love it for this game...
This sounds great! I suspect it will be for TS5. I wonder how many photos we’ll need to import for the system to create each sim. Would we need to import a front, back, side and 3/4 view for each head to be mapped onto the generic mesh head and then tweak it to our liking? Can’t wait to learn more.
I use a lot of photos for references when creating sims so I would find this feature pretty useful. I find it odd that most people seem to think about creating their sim selves with this feature. But for me it's the opposite because I use a lot of rl references when creating sims.
I also found it weird that people had privacy concerns because 1. using a picture of myself wasn't my first thought and there isnt really anything that said you have to use a picture of yourself, and 2. most phones have facial recognition technology and most people have their pictures on social media so unless you don't use facial recognition or posted a picture of yourself online... ur face is already "out there".
I like the idea, but it's a bit worrying at the same time. Sounds like this "facial recognition" technology some software use. It can be used to profile the user, without their knowledge. A bit like what Microsoft, Facebook and others do (as if they weren't already spying a lot on people - it's all ultimately linked to government agencies).

"So we have concepted new face features such as eye details, new cheek bones, and a new nose and mouth."
"we added some new facial features on the nose and mouth, and other facial details like the beauty marks."

True.
Then I can make Castor Nova coming back
Yes just like the previous 10 years challenge and age guessing in social media
The twitter feed links to this article: https://simscommunity.info/2021/12/18/ea-publishes-patents-for-revolutionary-creation-tools-possibly-for-the-sims/
The paper linked above has some really interesting techniques in it. Great article.
It could be a way to create NFT for The Sims, popular people selling a limited number of their simselves.
