Have you ever wondered what would it look like if you could turn yourself or others into Sims with just two clicks? The Sims Team wants to introduce a new method of creating Sims characters in the game that will allow you to do just that!


In the latest patent filed by EA in April 2020 and approved in October 2021, the team wants to introduce a new way of creating characters in the game through image processing.

    If it can work with pictures of TS2/TS3 characters I'm interested by this feature.



    True.
    Then I can make Castor Nova coming back
  • With this EA will secretly sell all your faces to face recognition software developers, ultimately all your faces will be in governmental databanks.

    Yes just like the previous 10 years challenge and age guessing in social media
  • I like the idea, but it's a bit worrying at the same time. Sounds like this "facial recognition" technology some software use. It can be used to profile the user, without their knowledge. A bit like what Microsoft, Facebook and others do (as if they weren't already spying a lot on people - it's all ultimately linked to government agencies).
  • You could grab a screen capture from that website "thispersondoesnotexist.com" (yes, it's a real thing, it was launched a couple of years ago to demonstrate AI photo manipulations using a GAN = generative adversarial network). Plenty of inspiration there!
    The twitter feed links to this article: https://simscommunity.info/2021/12/18/ea-publishes-patents-for-revolutionary-creation-tools-possibly-for-the-sims/
    The paper linked above has some really interesting techniques in it. Great article.
