The Sims 4

In The Sims, players create families of virtual people, each with their own personalities and aspirations. The player guide their Sims through life, careers, and love—and lots of home improvement.

You can save the game at any time.

The Sims is pretty easy to play. Doing well isn't necessarily part of the fun, and the controls are easy to figure it out--it all consists of clicking objects and selecting interactions.

Players can upload their families and houses to an online gallery where other players can download their content. The player must choose to upload their content. Browsing the gallery reveals some Sims in negligee and with unrealistic body proportions that are labeled as "sexy." However, there is no nudity and curse words are filtered. Searches for "sexy" and "nude" didn't return more than Sims in underwear--something readily available in the game itself.

Players can leave comments on other players' profiles and Sims. All content and comments can be reported with a button on the lower left side of the screen, and all online player history (i.e. downloads, interactions, etc.) is viewable on the profile.
