Yeah the store content is way over priced. I mean for a set that includes a couple hairstyles, some new outfits, and maybe like 20 new objects it's expensive. They usually come around 1,800 sim points which equals about 20 dollars. I mean I could understand 20 dollars for an ep but really? I could get 3 good sims 2 ep's for that price!

What is that Physical Deluxe?
When I go to pre-order theres only have two options: 'Digital Deluxe' and the 'Limited Edition'

I don't know either. I just looked it up. I found only the Digital deluxe, and limited as well. I don't think it exists...

It's not actually called physical deluxe, it's the Premium version of the game and available on a disc which is why I called it Physical Deluxe (physical copy of the game). The only difference between it at Digital Deluxe seems to be the additional content which is likely Origin specific.

"Mrs Crumplebottom coming back in #TheSims4?"



that would make sense!

I was refering to the price in the UK, Inge posted 60 GBP (cant do alt codes on this keyboard D: ) which is $100.47, which doesn't make sense, because it should convert from the US price, into other nations, i.e. it should be around 35.99 GBP, 64.99 AUD, 65.99 CAD etc...I wouldn't expect it to be 40 dollars extra for just the base game, in other countries, granted Industrialized countries that are in the Top 10-15 of currency exchange lol.

Yeah, I know, I just didn't want confusion to spread on the price. You say $100 without much context or explanation and other people might believe that it's $100.

Companies are usually lazy and make the prices the "same", ie. $60 or £60 or 600 NOK.

For the ones who keep on asking for the cheats:

Over here the Limited Edition is 70€ - $95. If it was like that the it would be around 58€

UK prices for things made in america are often just the same in £ as they are in $. So anything in between normal exchange rate and full number for number match would not surprise me.

Sims will age and the neighborhood will progress as well. There’s no info to what extend we are free to choose the options here.

Noooo! I need to know that can be turned off. If I can't play in rotation, TS2 style, I'm out.

I hope so for your sake but see how SP opting out worked in Sims 3. This go around, if it's enabled to be turned off, then prove it works. Or you may have to wait for a mod again. *shrugs*

If Digital Deluxe has more content, why the heck is the Premium Edition more expensive?? It costs more than the Limited Edition too, and they're both the base games--the only difference is that Premium's on a disc! Does anyone know why this is? Does the physical copy have more content (not including the book guide)? The prices are all kinda jacked up, and it really irks me >:I

Also, for those in the UK, isn't there this light-up USB plumbob over there that seems to be so far Europe-exclusive? Maybe you can buy it with the game (dunno which version), and that's why there's so much confusion as to how much £ it costs.

UK has Premium, Limited and Collectors, the US doesn't have a collectors edition yet and that might be announced at E3.

The digital deluxe thing is kind of a nudge to buy digital. I think WoW had the similar deal with Mists of Pandaria, you could get the super awesome collectors edition disc for 70-80 bucks! or you could get the digital deluxe with all the perks of the collectors edition, but you can redeem your pets/mounts/in-game items before the release date pops aaanndd it's 10-20 bucks cheaper.

Extra content and a lower price tag could be a powerful incentive to buy digital, but it is Origin. I actually trust battle.net more than I do Origin.

I'm not a fan of the overly cartoony style they went for with the TS4 renders, and I don't care for the blank-white background--but the composition of the boxart is nice, IMO. (Though Andre's expression annoys me... it just doesn't look quite right.)

I had the same opinion, the cartoony style wasn't convincing me at all, but after seeing the Build Mode video and how fast you'll be able to do things and move building I could help getting excited :lovestruc lately I've been crashing on Sims 3 every time I change my Sims clothes...

No, that glowing plumbob USB thing is supposed to change color to clue you in to your sim's mood. But I do think the USB plumbob thingy in the Euro version also has USB powered vibrator function, which is somehow related to the new woohoo skill, but until E3, that's kind of unconfirmed. Although it could justify the premium price, if the power is respectable. I mean, those rechargeable USB ones out now seem pretty popular, right?

Amen, sister friend.

"Share Your Creations: The Gallery allows you to browse, share, and download new content without ever leaving your game. Get inspired by rich content created by The Sims community and add new experiences to your game."
New content? Are they going intergrate CC in the Sims share platform?

Community creations could mean sims and rooms etc but could hint at some ability to recolor or make our own stuff.

That would be nice, integration of CC, especially if you could delete it in game. Unless their mods, but other mods ie. clothing, hair, objects. On the other hand I worry about being bombarded like the store does to me now, in game.

I remember in the early days of the TS3 store, like, around release. I didn't mind it because a lot of the content was very practical, well-thought-out, and people enjoyed it. And then, like a child of wealth that blows their inheritance on hookers and blow (sorry), it started producing crappy, weird, and badly made content with a few gems like Roaring Heights but nothing that really has any legitimate happiness to it. It feels fake, hollow, badly made. What we are seeing from TS4 is very sensible clothing, hair, face sculpts (minus the modern furnishings which look stuck in 2006 and do nothing for me), and I hope that they continue on the sensible trend - I like silly in my game, but it has to be done right. Supernatural was a good EP to explain this - it combined sensible (the houses) with the bizarre (the sims and some objects themselves) in a fashion that was well-put-together. Then you get more completely sensible EP's like Pets, or really out there ones with zany stuff like ITF. I want TS4 to not stray too far into "HERE'S A RANDOM SET OF OBJECTS NOBODY ASKED FOR, BUZZWORDGOESHERE!" and keep its feet on the ground, as it were.

The Sims.com have had a revamp - there's apparently new renders, info etc... and a Build Mode blog - www.thesims.com ....am perusing through it now...

Direct link to the blog - http://www.thesims.com/news/buildin...-for-the-sims-4

EDIT - There's short gameplay segments that loops as you scroll down the main page - I'm kinda liking what I see there; the animations look pretty smooth...
