Ryan Vaughan Q+A
Q: What is the biggest difference in The Sims 4 compared to The Sims 3?
It all starts with the biggest innovation in The Sims 4, the Sims themselves. Our Sims have evolved into emotionally aware beings whose every action is affected by what they’re thinking and how they’re feeling. Now you get to play with the mind, body and heart of the Sims. Our second big feature is a new set of technologies we’re calling SmartSim. This has allowed us to make the most intelligent and relatable life simulation ever. And finally, we’ve completely rebuilt our creative tools to be more intuitive, more powerful, and much more fun to play with. For the first time you reach into the world and shape your Sims by hand and build your homes room-by-room with ease.
Q: Sims have now been around for over a decade. How do you keep it interesting for (very passionate!) fans?
It’s funny you ask that, because it’s actually the fans that continue to drive our excitement about The Sims. It is their undying passion that energizes us, and their continued devotion that inspires us to create the kinds of games and content that we want to play. We’re constantly surfing the forums, checking in with them on Twitter via our @SimGuru accounts and looking for their feedback so that we can deliver the experiences they’re looking for. Keep it up, guys, we’re listening!
Q: So, what’s going on at SimsCamp this week? Tell us more!
We’ve invited top fans of The Sims from around the world to converge at SimsCamp to get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at The Sims 4. In addition to being amongst the first people in the world to play with Create A Sim, they’re the first to go behind the curtain to see how all of the pieces of our game come together.
Q: What is the feature you’ve waited for the most to show off while at gamescom?
The Sims themselves. These are revolutionary new Sims with emotional centers that behave and react more naturally than ever before. Every one of their actions is affected by their emotional states that lead to richer, more meaningful gameplay.
Q: How long have you been a Simmer yourself and what makes you love this franchise?
I started working on The Sims in 2007 when I was lucky enough to land on The Sims 2 team, but I’ve been a Simmer since the beginning. My favorite part about The Sims is that it’s a blank canvas. We give players all of these creative tools and they use them to tell their own unique stories. For me, I love to build homes. So it actually really excites me that we’ve completely revamped our Build tool. It has all of the power that I want, but it’s tactile and flexible so that I can make great homes with ease.

SimGuruJill Interview (EdenStyle)
During CAS demo, you mentioned some news about the use of boots in The Sims 4. Could you tell us more details?In The Sims 4, boots go over or under the pants depending on the kind of pants you are using.
The game recognizes the different parts of legs, pants and boots and figures out how boots should be shown. For example, certain boots will go over stretch pants, while they could go under baggy pants.
Is the body shape going to be put forth to the offspring?Yes, there’s a good chance to get the same body shape of the parents.

Could you tell us some info about pregnancy in The Sims 4?I cannot talk about pregnancy yet. We’ll release more details later on and I can tell you that you won’t be disappointed.
Talking about hairstyles, can we set a color for the roots and another one for the hair tips?
Not in the base game. We don’t know if this feature will be added later on. At the moment there’s no plan for it.
In CAS demo I have been able to see accessories and make up icons, but they were disabled. Could you tell us something about them?
CAS is still in development and I can tell you that the final one is going to have much more. What you have been able to see these days is just a very small part of it. We still have to add a lot of content and you’ll love it!
Accessories features are great and much better than in the past. You can mix and match as you wish and the jewelry is now completely separated to clothes. In The Sims 3 we had some necklaces attached to the related outfit, while in The Sims 4 it’s not happening anymore.

Some players are not happy about the fact that we don’t have Create a Style in game anymore. What would you like to tell them?
At the moment we are not planning to add Create a Style in game and we don’t know if this feature will be added later on. We are focusing on making the base game great, stable and powerful. We want The Sims 4 to ship with a very high level of quality and we decided to focus on certain areas.
Are you going to release a tool like The Sims 2 Body Shop? Players would love to have it back. We didn’t have such a tool in The Sims 3, and it made custom content creation quite difficult.
We are working hard on the main game only at the moment, in order to give players a polished and strong game. Having a very high CAS quality is one of our main goals.
We love when players are creative. We cannot promise anything, but we give a lot of value to community feedbacks like this one. We always take notes of players’ requests.
Did you work on previous Sims games?
I was one of the CAS producer in The Sims Medieval and I really enjoyed the team. I think that Sims Medieval faces and CAS features were really well done.
Is there something about The Sims 3 CAS that you don’t like?
I think it was great.

Could you tell us which are the system requirements of The Sims 4?
The game is still in development. System requirements details will be released later on.
Will Wright is not working for EA anymore. Does he keep an eye on The Sims franchise anyway?
He keeps an eye on our games, even if not directly anymore. Many people of our team worked with him and we perfectly know what he wanted to have in The Sims. Now that have new technologies, we can finally add many of those features in the game. We are very careful to not destroy his vision.
