The Sims 4 is a 2014 life simulation video game developed by Maxis and The Sims Studio and published by Electronic Arts. The game has received mixed reviews since its release. Like the Sims 3, Players  can control their Sims in various activities and can form relationships. Gameplay is nonlinear. The Create-a-Sim and Build Mode tools have been redesigned to allow more versatility when creating game content. Emotional state plays a larger role in gameplay and add social interaction, user interface, and personality.
