How Sims are used in Psychology today...... so not just the devs think its a good idea. I also know several schools in Massachusetts that have a class or two for 4-6th graders where they use the Sims 2 to teach social skills, running a household, positive behaviors etc in special education classes. They have had nothing but positive results and their parents seem quite happy about it from what my sister -in-law tells me. She was one of the teachers who first brought the game before the school board 12 - 14 years ago.

That’s all from the Sims 2 and 3 era. I really don’t see how Sims 4 could help. “Oh, look, your sim took a shower and now she’s perfectly ok again, see that?!”

If anything, using The Sims 4’s Sims for anything pertaining to psychology is a GREAT way to get kicked right out of the field. :lol:

It seems they were going for a cartoony behavior approach with The Sims 4, but as realistic as TS2 and TS3’s Sims were, they were far more entertaining to watch, interact with, and develop throughout their lives.

Yeah Rachel and Lucy said the game's direction was going the sitcom outlet rather than the simulation outlet. Why I am happier with new leadership now with someone who has a better understanding what made us get into the first two games and honestly worked on my favorite gameplay features in the Sims 2. It was almost as if Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs for cut off at esteem at what the game focused on was the smaller two areas of the pyramid self-actualization and esteem for the Sims 4. Everything else got forgotten and hidden under the rug.

Can you link that ?

They didn't consult psychologists while making the Sims 4 and were not going for making a life simulation game pretty much but focusing more on CAS, drama, and individuality. Why it has been so hard to ask the Gurus to turn the game into a life simulation game because without that the Sims 4 no longer reflects the simulation part of its name. It is like how do you ask them to deviate from the initial vision for the game?
