The new lightning, yes so much yes, lightning does so much and it looks great what they showed.
The focus on animation, It looks like moods can maybe affect interactions with sims even more now, I think moods affecting how sims talk and animate works pretty well in the sims4 as long as they are not too over the top.
The living neighborhood with sims going to different places like "office", "apartment" and "tacos" so much yes, I often feel this is so lacking in the sims4 with just a few sims walking from point A to B, this could really make the world seem alive, and I hope we can visit these places without loading screens, it feels like they wouldn't put this much effort into this unless we could go and visit different lots, so I hope this will mean that we will get an "open world" or "open neighborhood".
The prototype scene with a sim going towards a sofa, feels pretty early in development but the UI seems very large? This will hopefully change.
Hair color customization: I had hoped for more detailed hair, but maybe we will see that as they will develop this feature along, but it's great that we can customize the hair color better now, it's much easier to make hair look more realistic if you can mix with colors.
The last prototype scene where it looks like the sim have different choices depending on what's happening is...interesting, and it's also interesting to see Jill talking about how they are experimenting with having the game show more clearly what the sims are doing and what is happening, if this means less notifications then I'm happy.
Overall it looks good, I do hope the game will not have too many over the top animations though but Jill seemed to mentioned that they want to go for more subtle things to tell the player what is happening.
It also looks like a lot of the original simgurus are working on Rene now, I recognized names like Azure and Jill at least.
