In The Sims 4, virtual human beings will be like putty in your hands… even more than before. We're far beyond "Nose Length" sliders and chasing after moodlets, as this first gameplay trailer from Gamescom shows.

Even cooler than the upgraded character creation are emotions. Sims have always been moody creatures, but up until now they always fell somewhere on a spectrum between happy and upset. Emotions add a new dimension to sim interactions, and a new element to consider when decorating homes or pairing up would-be buddies.

The Sims 4 is coming to PC and Mac in 2014. Before you ask, it is single player and offline.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
