The Sims 4 - Object Editor?

I was looking around for some new information on TS4 and I stumbled upon this http://honeywellsims4news.tumblr.com/post/95065009021/the-sims-4-object-editor-heres-a-quick
"One of the really big changes with Sims 4 and something that was an early directive for the game was to put powerful tools in designer’s hands so that they could focus on adding content and increasing the depth of the content in the game without needing an engineer to implement or iterate on new functionality and new interactions every time we wanted something. The tool they use - internally it’s called Object Editor - allows them to select from thousands of variables to piece together all of the available assets and churn out content." —Graham Nardone
Anyone else know anything else about this?

Sounds like a software-writing tool, not a tool for changing in-game objects. "Object" has a very particular meaning in software development. All the people in my house who can explain it, though, have left for work
