Sims 4

Apple users rejoice: Sims 4 for Mac is here! This style of game is not everybody’s idea of a good time, but you should at least give it a try.

The reason is that various platforms are now offering very cheap or free options for you to download The Sims 4 for Mac. This is the perfect game to play on your MacBook, especially if you are bored between meetings or assignments.

As we’ve mentioned, it’s a fun game and there are options for you to get yourself a free download, but we haven’t mentioned much about the game itself.

There is no reason that you shouldn’t have heard of it as it was arguably one of the most popular series of games ever. Its main appeal was that it was very easy to get into it, and even occasional or casual players found themselves returning to it time and time again.

The Sims 4 offered some interesting improvements over its predecessors with easy architectural designers, in-depth character options as well as fun and quirky interactions with your Sims.

Some of the best features that avid Sims players enjoyed about this particular release were:

Improved Building Tools

Players have the best set of architectural tools in the series. They are refined, responsive, and are filled with many different elements to make unique settings for your Sims.

If you need to scale a room, make alterations such as adjusting wall heights and locations then you will be pleasantly surprised. Design the home of your dreams in a few simple clicks.

Neighborhoods

This was an element that was present in The Sims 3, but it has been somewhat streamlined now. There aren’t any vehicles in these areas anymore, which isn’t a bad thing necessarily, although you are now limited to only 2 areas.

Advanced Social Features

Your characters have more chances to socialize and communicate than before. Watch your Sims go on dates and talk with other Sims, and other fun adventures.

Careers

We all have to work, so why shouldn’t your Sims? Watch their progressions through their particular career with promotions and goals.

Galleries

One of the most fun features of this game is the character customization. If you aren’t great at capturing somebody’s likeness then you can browse the online catalogue of other user’s creations, and you can add them to your neighbourhood.
