Maybe their next trailers will look something like this then. This is a video that Luumia did recently.

That was really super cute and actually pretty professional too! I would much prefer videos like that showcasing the game and/or packs rather than their cheesy voice-over ones talking to us like we're 5 years old!

Any step forward is a good step forward, glad to see they're hiring people for this, I look forward to what comes about.

So no one else has ideas for changes they hope to see ?

Whim overhaul -> Wants and Fears (when a fear is completed the sim will gain a fear emotion buff)
Lifetime desires
Party/Date rating system -> instead of the goal event system parties should have a rating system like in TS3 that dictates if a party was "awful", "ok", or "great", based on the guest's emotions/needs.
Better AI
Story progression
Grocery system

What type of things would you want to see improved?

C++? Isn't TS4 written in Python? That's weird...

It uses both. I think it may also use C#, but I am not certain.

Hugh...interesting. Thanks didn't know that.

@Scobre, it's too bad it's a mod body hair & not the actual Sims 4 body hair. Oh well. :'(

No, not certain, just several Spanish speaking people on the Youtube video and on the actual twitter post commented that the Spanish Sims twitter has tweeted pics in the past that contained CC in it, so think they were just trying keep people's excitement and expectations in check.

Hey there! FYI: I moved this thread to the Game Feedback section. :)
