Wait. We don’t have a Sims 4 review? Better fix that. With The Sims’s 20th anniversary in recent memory, it’s a good time to ponder The Sims 4 5 years on. So watch Alice’s The Sims 4 review (2020) and say farewell to the creator of Real Proper Sims, as she starts a new job. What a good way to go out, doing what you love (and moaning about spiral staircases).

In her Sims 4 Review, Alice looks back on her relationship with the game: what she came to expect after the launches of The Sims 2 and 3, the sorry state the game appeared in, and how it has grown over five years. It’s an emotional rollercoaster, and a bit of a love/hate relationship: how can a game that annoys its fans so much, also hold their attention for five years? Alice investigates. It’s disappointing to see a game with such a passionate fan base gouge those fans with expansions, especially with the generosity of the modding community to take a lesson from. We’ve covered Sims 4 mods and Sim 4 CC on the channel for the last two years, so it’s interesting to compare it to the formal Sims 4 DLC,
So where does its magic lie? The Sims 4 does many things well, but the majority of that is just improving on what came before - most notably the graphics. The Sims 4 graphics are undoubtedly the best they’ve ever been, but so much of The Sims 4 still feels unfinished or lacking, and it seems the massively dedicated community are the ones filling in the gaps with mods and custom content.
It’s The Sims 4: Millennial Simulator, rather than family life simulator these days, with a lot of what was promised - missing. No toddlers at release, and barely anything to bridge the gaps apart from a few packs here and there. Alice is a self-confessed Sims 4 builder over anything else these days, but she still hopes the new generation of the Sims, and the murmurings of The Sims 5 will bring what she misses. Proper family simulation, and some of her favourite things from the previous games. Including open worlds and drivable cars. Oh, and spiral staircases.
