eal life simulators, god games, digital dollhouses – call them what you will, these genres have been fulfilling our desires to build, experience and then completely screw up the lives of others for years (these ‘others’ being tiny virtual beings, who are subject to our will). The real success of this genre depends upon how accurately the game in question can recreate real world situations, enter The Sims. This series of ‘digital dollhouses’ has become the benchmark name in real life simulators and few titles can match its depth of customisation and exploration into the lives of virtual people quite like The Sims.
Those of you who spent their childhoods decorating dollhouses, building high-tech spy bases out of Lego and forcing Barbie and Action Man to have awkward inanimate sex, should feel right at home in The Sims (especially for that last part).
Two new stuff packs are coming to The Sims 4 on 18th April: Party Essentials and Urban Homage, bringing party gear and clothing respectively.
The Sims 4 offers countless scenarios that make the game interesting. Power Up Gaming looks at the best Sims 4 challenges to spice up your gameplay.
Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.
EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.
EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'
I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.
And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.
No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.
EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
