But were always something we had on our list of content we wanted in the game." "As we were building The Sims 4, we wanted to focus on the new systems, things like emotions and how the new world works. "It was a huge fan reaction," Vaughan said. "We wanted to make it a very active thing, when it comes to putting Sims in a special place with their emotions and their motives, to actually kill them off." This time around, however, Sims have the ability to sit on the side of pools and climb out without use of a ladder, eliminating the fan-favorite way of knocking them off. Vaughan said that player reaction to a Sims game without pools was so intense that developers knew they had to rectify the situation as soon as possible. Only this time as a glowing, transparent ghost. So once you've effectively killed off your Sim, you can resurrect them from the Netherworld and have them go about their business as usual. Vaughan noted that players also now have the ability to play a ghost.
"It's about giving players the ability to tell the stories they want to tell." "The Sims straddles that thin line of being a representation of reality but also an escape for our players," Vaughan told Polygon. From building swimming pools and removing the ladders to finding ways to kill Death itself, players of The Sims games seem to be obsessed with snuffing out their tiny creations.Īnd according to The Sims 4 producer Ryan Vaughan, the developers are very okay with this. It is a proven fact that people love killing off Sims.
