" And so, looking at seeing, okay, how can we give players the ability to tell stories that are personal to them today? Like, what does that mean? And so, I'm really excited about all the potential that we have for The Sims 4, about kind of looking at what the community is really excited by, what they're using today, and then what more we can do to build upon that." " How about you? So, for me personally, I always think that The Sims kind of draws inspiration from what the community is creating, but also just from the world around us. Also, with our audience, they are always exploring something different in their lives and so we try to look at how do we tackle that in The Sims and help them express and tell that story." " I really personally want to dig deeper into relationship building and seeing how that can evolve in the game. So, we still have a lot of stories to tell." So, how would you guys picture The Sims going forward? I don't know if still The Sims 4 or future entries into the series that you kind of talk about probably, but how do you picture the experience? How do you think it can evolve further with a game that has evolved so much, even in its business model, the way it's distributed, the way it's multi-platform? So, what can you tell us about that, both of you? Yeah. " And so, we just, we came out with Growing Together earlier this year and they get to explore also what happens when you raise a child and it's not, you know, it's not all wonderful rainbows and easy, right? They get to kind of see and understand the challenge, what happens when you nurture a baby and how does the baby grow and become an adult one day and how do the decisions that they make in the game help change what's happening to their Sim? Yeah." We have such a wonderful player base that gets to figure out who do they love, who are their friends, what are their family dynamics." So, with a lot of our content, players are really discovering kind of who they are. " Could you give us a couple of examples of what players are doing to express themselves with the new content, the stories they're telling and how they are expressing it into the game? Yeah. So, there's some of the most recent updates we have and also, like I say, there's many, many more plans for The Sims 4 in the future." " So, being able to build these Book Nook kind of builds, I've just seen some incredible builds from the community. And then the other one was Book Nook, which is another kit, which is for our build by players." " One's Grunge Revival, so if you're kind of like looking at kind of modern trends now, but also like myself, if you kind of grew up in the grunge era, it gives you a great opportunity to kind of tell stories using those kind of elements. Most recently, we've actually just released two new kits." What are you providing us of late and in the near future? So, we've been doing lots of updates and we've got many, many more planned as well. " Yeah, we're very excited about the community. So, after so many years, how would you define the current status of The Sims and its community? Yeah, the community is thriving, we have 70 million players that have played our game now and they're just looking and asking for more and more from the team and we're just providing." I'm sorry about that, but we are happy that we got to do this interview and we are here with you. " We are at Summer Game Fest Play Days and we missed The Sims happy hours.
