    This list was copied over from the Sims 3 Forum and put together by JoeWow1003.
    I'd just like to point out that in less than 24 hours Sim lovers of all shapes and sizes came together to form a list of 138 features that will either be entirely new in Sims 4 or will be in Sims 4 at launch that Sims 3 was lacking at launch.

    This thread also amassed 484 replies and almost 8000 views. All in under 24 hours.

    There are a lot of loud and boisterous people on this forum going from topic to topic to put down Sims 4 and anyone who expresses interest in the game. Why? I honestly have no idea. I don't think they even know why they are doing it anymore. They must seem to think that because they have an opinion it must mean they're right and they have to show everyone they are wrong. Well you just proved to them that there are a lot of people out there who are very much excited about The Sims 4 and all of the wonderful new game play and features it provides.

    Good job everyone! If I see anyone editing their posts with new information I'll continue to add it to the list during the downtime. Otherwise feel free to wait until the forums leave read only mode and I'll continue to update the list with features and game play everyone is looking forward to.


    Come on folks! Help me build a running list of features found in Sims 4 at launch that were not found in Sims 3 at launch. Remember it can even be something as simple as a type of object.

    This is a list compiled by YOU, the fans. I'm merely keeping track of everything. So please feel free to post with any features not yet listed or with any sources not yet sourced, or if you see any mistakes that need to be corrected.

    Don't be shy, jump right in!

    I don't see it in the list but maybe I am overlooking it. The list is so long I might easily be missing it.:D
    The ability to enlarge objects. Mostly for decorative purposes. As an example, a child's toy car could be enlarged enough to look like a real car.

    /edit to add:
    Animations which reflect emotions. (No need to consult thought bubbles or moodlets.)
    Special mood based interactions.
    Updated less obtrusive UI.

    No problem. It was actually pretty easy to find things that had been included since there have been a lot of articles, videos and blog posts since Creator Camp.
