Gameplay

A major aspect of gameplay in The Sims 4 is the emotion system. Emotions are also a new type of gameplay mechanic. The player's Sims can experience five primary emotions, which are happy, angry, embarrassed, sad, and afraid. A Sim will react to other Sims, objects, and events in the game based on these emotions. For example, a Sim may receive a "Feeling Angry" +5 buff or a "Feeling Embarrassed" -5 debuff. Gameplay consists of three parts: building, managing, and playing. In the first part, players have to build a house and fill it with furniture. Then, they have to take care of the inhabitants, provide them with what they need and keep them happy. In the third part, players take control of their character and do what they want.
