The Sims and Cinematic Storytelling

That sounds like a good step forward. I have often felt that Maxis actually did a pretty good job with showcasing emotions through the animations and the language in the sims4. When sims are embarrassed or angry for example, all their speech is completely different and their body language is different too. You don't think about that when playing the game, because "fine" is so common, but with new animations and language they often record different ones for all emotions, which is impressive.

Sounds like they are considering relationships to matter this time around, which I think is a really good idea.

Man, I want them to announce the sims5 already, doesn't matter if there are many more years until we will know more. I just would like to know more what their goal is.
