6/27 BTS Rene Reveal Discussion Thread

Liked the animations. Hopefully, there will be more that are natural to what is happening.

Obviously, the placeholders are nothing like what the actual Sims will be.

The late morning tag is interesting. Seems like the day will be broken up into several parts.

I think they are trying too hard to show without telling ??? it's having a reverse effect and it's not particularly a good look imo.
There's interactions in ts4 I've always avoided because of this.

A few things:

-It seems to be an open neighborhood setting kinda similar to what they had in the console version of The Sims 3.
-Multipurpose lots for the very first time in the franchise.
-Apartments in the base game but there doesn't seem to be any houses.
-Emotions are most likely gonna be shelved in favor of reactions.
-Premades are FINALLY gonna have scheduled lives that they live instead of wandering aimlessly around the neighborhood.
-The prototyped animations and characters look very disney-like. I'm not a fan but it's too early to judge.
-I know I initially said that it could be releasing in 2025 but it seems like late 2026 is a better estimate.

I couldn't watch the stream. Was anything said about occults?

They said practically nothing. It was a quick look at what I hope is very early developmental footage. I'd call it a waste of my time.

Love the lighting and art style for the most part. However the sims so far seem very cartoony, I know they are not finished but we can assume they will be close to this look based on previous prototypes of sims games. The hair especially looking like clay tells me we are going to have sims looking closer to that of TS4 which is quite disappointing.

Really? I feel like this looks more a year or two away.

I won’t lie, I LOVE THIS :o This is what I would have expected the successor to The Sims 3 to have looked like. I’m liking the possible idea that we would get corner grocery stores, dive bars and bistro restaurants in base game? ? I love the art style of this/lighting if that’s what they are deciding to do. Won’t keep my hopes too high though, we obviously still don’t know much about it. But I like what i’m seeing here!
