A Sims 4 player online has shown off their incredible castle build from the game, complete with glamorous interior design. The creation goes to show that despite The Sims 4 turning 10 this year, it's still possible to create some beautiful builds in the game.
The Sims 5 Mobile Build Leaks, Reportedly Has DRM
26.02.2024 - 17:01 / thegamer.com
Two years ago, EA announced Project Rene, AKA The Sims 5. So far, we know that it's "free to download" and, as per leaks, that the base game will have apartments. There's also the return of The Sims 3's colour wheel and a new multiplayer mode for collaboration with friends.
More recently, a Reddit user with a history of sharing cracked games reportedly got their hands on a leaked 2022 mobile playtest. They claim that, despite being free-to-play, The Sims 5 will use controversial Denuvo DRM tech, likely due to planned paid DLC.
DRM is designed to make it harder to pirate games, but often sacrifices performance. To boot, it's harmful for preservation since it means the game requires authentication to play. If the authentication servers go down, accessing the game is no longer possible.
They followed up their post with two alleged screenshots taken from the game, showing the leaked apartments discussed in 2022. The editable part of the building is highlighted in a light purple colour, while the second image shows the inside of the building with individual, customisable rooms. As the leaks claimed, the playtest doesn't feature any Sims, focusing instead on building.
It's worth noting that the playtest is from two years ago and a lot could have changed in that time, but it does give us a glimpse at an early version of the UI and some insights into what we can expect gameplay-wise.
The construction and furniture menus are, as always, separated. However, it doesn't look like we can change the apartment's exterior, just the interior. There's also an "Apartment selection" button, pointing to more options being available beyond the one leaked.
Welcome Interior Designers! Customise your apartment with walls and furniture. Find player-created furniture through the Discovering button, and Maxis-created furniture through the Buy button.
The UI is incredibly reminiscent of The Sims 4 right now, but this could be a placeholder. We also get to see a pop-up tutorial which confirms that The Sims 5 will have a community-fueled gallery much like The Sims 4 and a "buy" section with official Maxis-designed content.
According to PCGamesN, The Sims 5 will have "no microtransactions", so it's unclear what the "Buy button" in this context means.
Since the launch of The Sims in 2000, the series has become one of the biggest-selling in history, Created by Will Wright, developed by Maxis, and published by EA, it consists of sandbox games in which you create characters and drop them into a unique life simulation. The series is known for its vast library of DLC expansions, which cover everything from school life to fame and celebrity.

The Sims 4 now has some tie-in jewellery, which I both hate and admire
As any fool knows, the age of girlies bulk-buying silver wire and making their own crystal jewellery at home is over, but EA always arrives precisely when it means to. This weekend saw the release of the Crystal Creations Stuff Pack, a DLC for The Sims 4 that takes the ability to find crystals (already in the game) and straps on your Sims making them into semi-precious, semi-magic jewellery that can be charged up by the moon. What I find more interesting is that this launched with some official IRL Sims plumbob jewellery that you can buy and wear around your own precious, swan-like neck.
