well I guess you just missed announcement that announcements are coming another day so :sweat_smile:

I'm surprised they're showing an EP trailer six weeks before the release date... isn't it usually 2-3 weeks before? Six weeks is going to feel like forever. *sigh*

OMG it's Simgurugrant!!! ???

Lol it's nice to see the behind the scenes for infants. I like that project Rene won't be mmo but you will be able to invite some one you know. Curious how that will work.
What I don't like is how they are combining info for all the sims games. And I don't like these pre recorded strems that I guess is supposed to be more professional?
I honestly was much happier with the gurus on live stream. It felt so personal and engaging. But whatever works best for them is okay. ?

Overall infants look fun!

I’m unsure now how I feel about this…

Originally when they described it as a community stream, I assumed it’d be the Sims 4 with a mixture of content creators and game changers who helped with the upcoming EP and/or big patch. This puts me in the mind of like what they used to do the Sims 411.

Now, that they say it’s in line with the Sims Summit from last October which was mostly performances and a small teaser from each Sims series (Project Rene, Sims Freeplay, Sims Mobile, and Sims 4), I’m not as enthusiastic. The Sims Freeplay also confirmed they have a segment in this upcoming stream on February 1st.

Hopefully we do get at least a release date on the Infants update and maybe a teaser on an EP.

The change might be due to the bullying some of the presenting SimGurus received after hosting the streams in the past. They likely want to minimise that in the future?

The best part of the show was behind the scene of Behind The Sims. I like SimGuruGrant trying different styles.

I prefer this one. Sometimes it's nice not to be serious.

More importantly, have we ever seen Grant and Hayley Williams in the same place at the same time?



I watched a very interesting documentary called Hannah Montana and I think I might be on to something...

Watched this just now after work :)
I always love the behind-the-scenes stuff, getting to hear from the animators, audio directors etc. It would be so great to have a longer deep dive that focuses on that kind of thing sometime :)

I feel like I got exactly what I wanted with Project Rene's social elements-- first-person mode is available completely undisturbed, and also if we want, we can invite other people of our choice to play with us. And a gallery type feature of course. (Maybe the filters on this gallery will even work?)
I'll have to see what Live Mode looks like before I know if I'd want to play Project Rene. I like building but I really spend most of my time in live mode and that's where most of the potential fun of a game would be. For me.

The infant stuff looks really good too. Earlier glimpses of them looked like just toddlers that don't walk. The proportions are much more toddler than infant- and the infant clothes are mostly existing toddler clothes. But the animations and types of interactions shown in this stream have changed that feeling for me, they look like they'll be a very unique lifestage with gameplay that has been missing.
Finally one thing I've always wished for: we can sit down and hold the baby!!

Personally, I prefer the polished, scripted and pre-recorded announcements. Behind The Sims was great.

Agree.

I'm sure we'll see the gurus live for the next EP Livestream.
