A free trial seems like an odd celebration gift, particularly since the most die hard fans of The Sims franchise have presumably already purchased The Sims 4, and so won’t benefit from the trial offer. When The Sims turned 10 in 2010, Maxis offered long time fans three DLC packs for use with the game of that era, The Sims 3. As much as EA.
A Sims package that lacks content The Sims 4 isn't trying to revolutionize the principle of the series. Nevertheless, I still expected to see several new features compared to other games in the series. Shocking, it's clear that with this new version, Electronic Arts has done the opposite of what I expected: instead of adding new content, the publisher has decided to lighten the game up by taking away a large number of features. There's no swimming pool, no toddlers, you're unable to view your Sims' place of work– the list is far too long and the conclusion is clear: Electronic Arts seem to have given themselves plenty of room to add future DLC with features that have been removed from the game. It seems to me to be an unfortunate approach, seeing as the 'complete' game is already being sold at full price.
This criticism aside, however, the game offers countless new activities that your Sims can do in town or at home. The range of objects you can purchase is already immense and original, as are the numerous outings that you can go on. It's a shame, however, that you now get a loading screen whenever your Sims move between lots and neighbourhoods, whereas The Sims 3 offered an open world where the action remained constant.
The good news is that there is a new community portal that allows you to share your creations online (characters and constructions). Great interface and artificial intelligence In terms of gameplay and accessibility, The Sims 4 has improved a lot from its predecessors.

Despite the presence of a bulky tutorial that can be annoying for those already familiar with the series, everything has been redesigned for better control of the game. The new character creator is excellent: you can very easily create the Sim of your dreams by simply dragging the mouse over the body parts you wish to change. When it comes to building or customizing your home, items are now organized in a clear way, according to the different rooms of the house. The way that Sims behave has also been the subject of much attention.
With a much needed revised system, your characters are now more autonomous and intelligent, taking care of themselves by automatically performing tasks that meet their needs. This allows you to concentrate on the essentials and develop your Sims' talents through the game's numerous activities.
Note, however, that the camera controls are awkward and impractical. It's impossible to move in three dimensions, and its a huge letdown for a game that benefits from the experience of the three previous episodes. Not technically amazing, but very well optimized Years after The Sims 3, many were expecting a true graphical overhaul for this new edition.
Unfortunately, the difference between The Sims 3 and The Sims 4 is clearly not as apparent as it should be. Despite the addition of some nice graphical effects that look appealing, the graphics of this new version were already dated from the moment it was released. It's too bad, although this drawback does have an advantage in making the game compatible with less powerful computers. Not to take away from the technical aspect in this new Sims, the level of facial detail has clearly improved. The main improvement lies in the huge number of animations available, with Sims now being able to go through a wide range of emotions.
You can, therefore, experience lots of funny situations that help give an excellent impression of Sims life as a whole. Full of idea with just a bit too much DLC The Sims 4 is an underwhelming success. The developer seems to have worked hard on the interface; the Sims character creator and the build mode are gems of simplicity and have great potential.
With a much needed revised system and better automation of your Sims, you now have more freedom for a better gaming experience. Unfortunately, the game is tarnished by flaws that are not easily overlooked, especially for longtime fans of the series. In addition to undeniable technical inadequacies, the game has been stripped of large amounts of content compared to the Sims 3, indicating a very long series of paid downloadable content coming soon. This is an unfortunate move on the part of Electronic Arts, who may want to review their policy in the coming years if they want avoid alienating many of their fans.
I'm kind of surprised I havent seen a forum on this? From what I last checked, there's currently no CAS demo for mac, or a trial version of ts4. I'm kind of disappointed, bc when I heard about CAS i was totally into it, and then when I heard it was soon releasing for mac, I was totally pumped to download the cas demo.

But there was none?? D: Then, i found out about the trial for windows only. Anyone know why EA didn't make it for mac?? First The Sims 2 free for window users only, now this.Please don't tell me mac isn't for gaming. Some people don't realize what theyre buying, or wanted a mac for outweighing reasons, but still enjoy playing games. Or in my case, have parents who make the decisions on what electronics we buy:/. The Sims 4 demo came out last August before the game was released.
At that time, the Windows OS was the only support format. Mac users could and can play the demo if they so choose to, but you have either BootCamp your Mac or use a program like Parallels to run a copy of Windows on your computer. Since TS4 is now available for the Mac, EA didn't want to spend the time to port the demo just for the Mac as they were working on the full version the game. Personally, I'm glad they spent the time porting the game instead of the demo. As for The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection, the entire run of Sims 2 was only completed for Windows. There is a version of Sims 2 available for Mac users in the App Store that covers the game from Base Game to Bon Voyage and only has the Family Fun Stuff, Glamour Life and Happy Holidays stuff packs as these were the only EPs and SPs ported to the Mac by Aspyr the company EA hired to port the game to the Mac.
If you would like the history of why Sims 2 was never fully ported to the Mac, I can supply that information if you wish. It had nothing to do with Macs specifically and it was EA being short sighted.
