Gameplay
Gameplay in The Sims 4 is similar to gameplay from previous games in the series. The player creates a Sim and controls their life to explore different personalities which change the way the game plays out. As in previous games, Sims have physical and personality traits that determine their skills and future success.
Each Sim's life is balanced with activities, such as working, studying, cooking, exercising, socializing, cleaning, and spending time with pets. The player must manage relationships with other Sims, as well as with themselves, in order to achieve a fulfilled life. The Sims 4's gameplay is similar to that of previous iterations of the franchise. It has a 3D graphics engine, and each of the Sims' actions are controlled by the player. Additionally, the Sims' emotions are linked to the gameplay.
Graphics
The quality of the graphics is really good, with the exception of the hair, which for some reason is not as high quality as the other graphics. The graphics in The Sims 4 are noticeably improved from those of previous iterations of the franchise.
