The feature is so good that when it doesn't work it actually becomes a hard stop to the flow of the game. The feature highlights the creativity of the community and is inspirational to search through.Īs for the search bar, instead of looking through layers of menus, now you just type "chair" and BAM! you've got a bunch of chairs to choose from. The Gallery allows players to upload and download individual Sims, families and houses. These features as they are now are already fantastic, but will become blessings as the inevitable expansions roll out. The two greatest additions to The Sims 4 are the Gallery and the search bar feature. If you don't like the pre-made rooms in the game, there's plenty to find in the Gallery. Architectural finagling and decorating rooms is super simple, and there's plenty of pre-made options to choose from and customize. Plenty of early tutorials will walk newcomers through the various aspects of dwelling creation. The game's build mode is cleaner than ever before. The Sims also seem to naturally group in neutral spaces like the museum, gym or bar, enhancing their network of connections, opening up more unsupervised and unplanned relationships. Or, they could tend bar to up their mixology and socialize at the same time.


Reducing the need to keep an eye on your Sim's every move is the added feature of multitasking, allowing a Sim to work out and skill up, while holding a conversation. The Sims themselves are quite dynamic this time around, but players will still have to do quite a bit of micromanaging to make sure their virtual dolls stay on task.
