The Sims 4

As their lives unfold based on the environment, relationships and specific traits, the player gets to manage the life, needs to organize activities, attend to needs, and react to moods, with non-linear gameplay and no direct control.

The character creation process has been expanded.

Players choose a gender, age (from child to elder), look and outfit.

The voice can be adjusted from clear to brash and a specific walking style can be chosen to reflect the personality.

Next to a selection of various facial and body features, every element of the character can also be tweaked by holding and dragging with a large choice of colours and accessories.

Players also choose a lifetime aspiration from a number of fields such as athleticism, creativity, family, knowledge, love ... with deeper choices for each.

Next, three traits (one less than the previous game) are selected such as active, cheerful, gloomy, romantic or self-assured, and specific characteristics such as hobbies, lifestyle and social intelligence.

The game puts a larger emphasis on personalities and social interactions.

Sims are now for instance also able to multitask, rather than completing actions one by one, and these are also affected by moodlets and emotions.

While playing players are rewarded for reacting to moods, providing temporary buffs or permanent enhancements to the Sims, for small accomplishments.

The available interactions are largely based on the chosen personality.

The bottom left of the interface holds an action queue where various activities the Sim wants to do are listed.

At the bottom are time controls to manage how time passes.

There is free camera rotation and various zoom levels to follow the activity from any angle.

Sims level up by practicing activities.

The Sims 4 for Xbox One is currently worth €13.78 loose, €5.91 complete in box, and €10.76 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

The Sims 4 has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For The Sims 4, loose is €13.78 and CIB is €5.91 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of The Sims 4 is currently worth €13.78 loose, versus €8.82 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
