    Has anybody heard anything about Paradox Techtonic Studio lately. They don't seem to be offering any jobs from what I can see but if anyone is interested in one there, there's a page for that.

    They've gone so quiet one wonders what on earth they are up to, or if anything at all, no rumours, nuffink! B)

    That's a wise move though, don't you think? With the hiring, they did a lot of it when they were forming the game studio last year.

    The first article about the game from the first fans, it's very cool!

    I'm still waiting for news of Vie (coming 2018)


    We can't assume right away that it will follow the path of Vie. Besides, it's not like we've already put money into this. In the meantime, I think it would be good to encourage the dev to make it the very best it can be.


    Wasn't a a thing with Vie they only had two bad photoshop pictures, and a logo.

    I don't know why Vie was mentioned on this thread by @LeGardePourpre then?

    Just I hope the game will be LGBT friendly.

    The Sims 4 is M-rated in Russia.


    It probably will be, but might not be an emphasis as a selling point.

    There will be paid DLC with new cities and resorts for the price of $ 7.

    At the beginning of the game you can get a completely new city, 2 resorts and a farm.

    I like that it will already have 2 resorts and a farm at the very beginning!!!

    I'm glad that I'm going to get a new computer when I get back to the States. 50gb of disk space in my old computer would have been too much!

    He also mentioned city. I'm hoping he means like Bridgeport in TS3 which had an urban area with tall buildings and apartments, and more suburban areas with houses, more middleclass and more affluent too.

    I also like that it will have free DLC and the paid DLCs are set at a good price!

    The video on animals mentioned in the description that there will be a zoo!

    Lol, I know what you mean, but I think he may be thinking of those poorly made ones or what happens when the game gets a new pack or patch that makes the mods incompatible until the modders update their mods to the latest game version. He may want to avoid all that to keep the game playable for everyone rather than have the players wait for all their mods to be updated.


    I just like that there are more life simulation games coming out. We can already see the variations among them, and all this is injecting fresh ideas into the genre! I love this!

    I do like mods. Makes Minecraft and Stardew Valley fun to play with them.

    People asked about Occults on Discord. He said he hadn't thought about it and wanted to know if people wanted it more realistic world or with invented vampires and werewolves.

    He also said this:
    "You can add urban legends about vampires and werewolves, but if the player learns more about it, he will understand that all werewolves and vampires are real people who play the role of vampires. the player may also be asked to play the role of a vampire, but all this will not be true"

    When asked if the townies would have background stories, he said:
    "I will add a small plot, random events and interesting quests to the game. You will be able to learn the history of some of the inhabitants of Newbery."

    I expect more from the Sims franchise though since it has a 20 year history. This game is a fresh start for this dev.

    Ah, I see! This game is much more realistic than The Sims. It's true what he says though, the urban legends that rose up about vampires and werewolves were based on real people.

    I think I should join his Discord page. I would like to know what my characters can do and expect visiting the other places in the world. Would like to see random events, interesting quests and history of each place and its people as well.

    If the basegame has plenty of content, then I'm fine with no CC. I don't normally use mods unless it's to "fix" stuff.

    And, this is not a true "multiplayer" game like WoW where you'll be playing with hundreds of people. From what I read it's only for 5 of your friends to play together.

    I'm so super excited about it!! I'll be a stalker of his Discord now! Absolutely love the graphics and more realistic look!

    How many characters can I control (rotational play ?) ?
    How many life stages will be available (baby , toddler, child, ...) ?
    Can we adjust the height of the character ?
    Can we share the creations ?

    Interesting whether Sims 5 goes online or offline, they are going to have at least one competitor which has me excited with no more monopoly.

    From the teaser, I saw a tricycle, so there's definitely a toddler/young child stage. From the way the description is worded, it sounds like you can control how the town is set up, including families, but we'll see more as it progresses.
