Graphics 4.5/5

Sims 4 doesn’t pretend to provide realistic visuals. All landscapes, surroundings, objects and characters have realistic proportions and physical parameters, but they look quite cartoonish and don’t sparkle with details. They just don’t have to! There’s absolutely nothing to take serious. People, ghosts, pets, gnomes, aliens - in Sims universe they all exist side by side. That’s why everything is rendered in plain 3D graphics and low-resolution textures. Maybe, the next chapters will look more realistic, but there’s no need for that.

Gameplay 5/5

After that, you are offered to choose property for your single sim or a family. There are 3 types of dwellings, such as personal apartments and houses or rental estate. Each type provides different starting taxes and living conditions.

After settling down, you have an opportunity to find your sim a job that matches his or her temper, interests and life goals. These properties are adjustable in sim editor. Along with your sim’s job you have to support his or her life process and look after multiple status bars. Needs of each sim are based on classical Maslow’s pyramid, so you always have to visit you in time and fight for comfort, recognition, wealth and dozens of other human needs. This gameplay aspect is very realistic.

Controls 5/5

In Sims 4 controls don’t differ from previous parts. Quite important to notice, that Sims 4 is played similarly great on any devices. However, the console version lacks some PC keyboard shortcuts.
