Test Chamber – The Sims 4
The Sims 4 is out today, and though our review needs some extra time, that won't stop us from checking out the latest entry in the life simulation series from EA.
Kim Wallace and I are the biggest Sims fans in the office, and she walks me through the opening moments – including character creation and house purchasing. We also talk about some of the things in The Sims 4 that are new and different...along with several things that feel very familiar.
As a series, The Sims is built on long-term gameplay, so our short stint doesn't encompass the entire experience. However, for fans wondering what to expect, it provides a quick glimpse at some of the steps forward (and steps backward) in the newest installment.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
