"Sims-4": reviews. How to Install The Sims 4

One of the most anticipated games of 2014, the output of which became a terrible fiasco. In fact, the thousandth part of expectations from hundreds of trailers and presentations "Sims-4" is not justified. Reviews of fans indicate the setting in advance for subsequent additions. In this form, the assembly looks like a pirated copy, stolen from the early stage of creating a full-fledged game. Its only advantage is that there is potential. The base, laid down by the developers, will significantly expand the capabilities of the characters and make a completely new product.

How to install "Sims-4"

There are two options - a license disk or a pirated copy downloaded on the network. If you bought the game, the installation is easy, and there are probably no mistakes.

What algorithm of actions?

• We insert the disk into the drive and wait for the autorun.
• Click the "Continue" button.
• In the item "My games in Origin" you need to enter the license code of the product "Sims-4".
• After the version of the collector's edition is confirmed, the installation will begin.
• The language is set to "Russian", choose the folder where the game is put, we accept the license.
• In the process of unpacking files, the program will ask you to insert the second disk, which you need to do.
• The bonus items will be downloaded, a shortcut will appear on the desktop.

Congratulations, the installation is complete!

On the issue of "protection from pirates" of the official release. Most of the opinions boil down to the fact that an unfinished version of the game is flooded with torrents. Therefore, there are various negative aspects such as defocusing the camera and so on.

Install "Sims-4" for free on your computer easily. You just need to download the image of the installation disk, and then follow the instructions described in the "readme" file.

One example will be described below.

System requirements and release date

For the game, all versions of the Windows operating system from Windows XP SP 3 to Windows 8.1 are suitable. On other platforms it is not yet possible to run it.

The minimum requirements are completely within the power of most computers.

• The operating memory needs at least 2 GB.
• The processor will fit 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon 64 Dual-Core 4000+.
• Video card - from 128 MB.
• NVIDIA GeForce 6600, Intel GMA X4500, ATI Radeon X1300 or better.
• DirectX 9.0c and at least 10 GB of free disk space.

As we see, the sparing requirements allow the majority to install "Sims-4" on the computer. The conditions are quite tolerable.

Judging by marketing and advertising, users should have expected an extravaganza in "Sims-4". The release date of the game is September 2, 2014 in the US and September 4 in Europe and Russia. However, the disappointment of the majority testifies to the failure of the release.

Game process

This version is designed to fully reveal the capabilities of the simulator of life.
We start with the creation of a character or family. For this purpose special editors are designed, which we'll talk about later.

Actions are made from a third party. First we create a sim, we put him in the house. A dwelling can be chosen from the list of offered, buy in a store or build with your own hand. In view of the fact that it will be necessary to develop the character in various spheres (from working to personal), it is better to install "Sims-4" in Russian.

There are two cities with different buildings. The main infrastructure facilities of the megapolis are presented. About them, too, we'll talk further. The created character can get a job, lead a personal life, start a relationship, get acquainted with new people, develop a career. There are many possibilities.

There are two scales - friendship and romance. They are responsible for the relationship between the Sims.

In the fourth version of the game, characters can do several things at once, for example, talk, watch TV and eat. This is a significant step forward for "Sims-4". Reviews of fans indicate the promise of such a move.

Also, for career growth and increasing your status, an active social life will be required.

Want to try out in a training mode to create a terrific fate? It happens differently. Perhaps, some ideas you will later implement in reality.

Emotions

Feelings in the game play a crucial role. They are responsible for the promotion of your Sim on the path of life.

Unlike the previous parts, the characters of "Sims-4" are more concentrated on their inner world. Agree, rationality is 100% in the real world is almost impossible to find. Feelings and we are more influenced by actions than mental processes. Losing your head is not so difficult in a fit of passion!

The spectrum of emotions in this part is increased. Now they are as many as 15! They are divided into several groups of 3 pieces. Each has its own color and background music.

Judging by the reports on the forums, the developers have contributed a lot from the field of feelings and intimate moments in "Sims-4". The reviews confirm this. For example, you can even "pee as a champion" or "angrily poke."

However, in general, the realization of such a layer of life is very important in the development of simulators. We all want to become successful, doing nothing for this, at least. Try the same with your characters. Make a world-class star or cosmonaut out of a sim.

I'll have to play the piano emotions. For example, if your hero is angry, it is better to go to the gym. The effectiveness of training will increase in times! In depression, he will write a good book.

In addition, being at the peak of some experience, it can be transferred to a picture painted with his own hand, to subsequently share the emotion with others.

Also, the characters of "Sims-4" create an interior, according to their mood, supplementing it with memorable accessories.

Thus, despite a lot of negative reviews, compared to the third part, the new game still has an inimitable highlight.

Character Editor

In the latest version of the game, we will be able to create characters in several ways. There is an option to choose a ready-made template. But this approach is of no interest to us at all. With a minimal skill in working with photo editors, you will be able to make an exact copy of a real friend and put it into play!

Let's see how this happens. So, we entered the product code. "Sims-4" is activated, and now it is necessary to create a family. We get into the character's editor.

Initially, you select gender and age. By the way, races now differ not only in skin color, but also in their characteristic features. And the range and level of emotions in the game will directly depend on how much your Sim years. But this can be changed using the codes for "Sims-4". They will be written at the end of the article.

Next, we click on the magnifying glass icon to the left of the character's head. Going into this mode, it becomes possible with the help of sliders, to create for your hero individual features - from the nostrils to the color of the iris of the eyes.
By the way, in the fourth version, the headpiece can be worn on any hairstyle.

After we have created the face, we turn to the formation of the rest of the body, the choice of clothing and accessories. Thus, we make a certain image of our sim.
In addition to physical data, you can choose the character, lifestyle, emotional range, timbre of sounding voice, hobby.

Here we are with you and created the first little man. Let's find his place of residence.

Mode of construction

Here, too, the hand of developers has touched many things. Let's start in order.

Now it is possible to choose the height of the foundation, and add it to the house or replace the old one at any stage of construction, without demolishing the building. Do not be afraid that if you change the height of the base, the door will bend and the key will not fit. "Sims-4" has not yet reached such heights of realism. There will be eight variants of the cap.

The second innovation concerns the roof. Include fantasy at full power! All options are available, from the eastern to the classical European. Want to make a likeness of the castle on the Disney screensaver? Easily.

When choosing the height of the walls (ceiling), do not forget about the windows and pictures. You, for example, had rooms in two stories high, they hung a whole gallery. Now we decided to rebuild and make the ceilings lower. If you do not remove the canvas, they will disappear. Do not forget about it!

Lovers of mansards, terraces, verandas and other amenities will also find entertainment. We make various shapes - from square and rectangular to oval. In the editor you can easily figure out which rooms to choose and how to install. "Sims-4" offers many options.

By the way, light, too, has changed. Now there will be no barrier between the light of the upper and lower floors. It will spread as much as possible, according to the laws of physics. As in real life.

Columns, friezes, cornices and beams - decorate the interior at your discretion.

The landscape design of significant changes, in comparison with the third part, does not undergo. The only thing - there was a separate micro-editor for landscaping.

Finally, there is one inconvenience. If you cancel the painting of a section of the wall, the entire room becomes discolored.

In the future, developers promise to add fountains and greater flexibility in creating a landscape around the house.

Getting a job

Characters "Sims-4" will be able to find a favorite occupation or start building a career in a promising company in several ways. In total, there are eight options - a criminal, an agent of the special services, a writer, an artist, a cook, a technician, an astronaut and a worker.

First, you can click on the portfolio icon (the lower right corner) and select the "Start a career" menu. The phone icon will help you find work on ads. It's also real to find an occupation by using a computer.

Are you settled? Excellent. How now to get to work? There are only two ways. You can set the function "Freedom of the will" or click on the portfolio in the right corner. If it is yellow, the character will simply go to the office, if red it will run.

However, about the office - this is loudly said. In the current version of the game, activity in the field of work is not yet provided. That is, your sim runs out of the house, goes to the road ... and disappears! All that remains is to mess around with the rest of the family or plan an evening for him if you have a lonely character. Absolutely uninteresting approach in the release of the game "Sims-4." The release date, however, has already passed, so it remains only to hope for additions.

To change the profession, you must click on the phone icon, then select the "Resign" item. After this, repeat the steps described above.

Browse cities

To all lovers of "soapy" American serials is dedicated. The game features two settlements - Willow Creek and Oasis Springs.

Those are going to walk around Santa Monica or become a resident of the suburbs in the Midwest.

These neighborhoods even the village can not be called a language. However, we will hope for changes in the future.

So, Willow Creek. A quiet provincial town with a large park, located on the river bank. The streets are very green. You can walk along the square, chat in the open area with a cafe with friends, visit public institutions.

By the way, you can get a clear picture of the interior, only if the activation is passed. "Sims-4" keeps a protection against piracy. The image becomes blurry, as in the screenshot.

The second village is Oasis Springs. It is represented by more deserted and stony landscapes. However, there is also a zone of greenery and a pond. You can get out on a picnic or go fishing.

By the way, for the preparation of a certain dish you may need plants that grow only in the neighboring town. Have to go after them.

The undoubted advantage is that when the place of residence is changed, the quarry is not reset. That is, after moving to Willow Creek, you do not have to get anew to work.

Minus in the size and functionality of settlements. Enjoy the entire range you can in a few hours. Another couple of days will go to the game with the editors of the characters and houses. There is nothing more to count in the game.

Activation of "Sims-4"

When buying a licensed disc, the code will appear on the inside of the box. It consists of 20 letters of the English alphabet and numbers.

When installing games taken from the Internet for free, it is recommended to disable antivirus software, as they "swear" on programs that help to illegally register a product.

If downloaded from the torrent, most likely, among the files you will find the application "Keygen". Run it and generate the "Sims-4" key.

Here is a list of codes that work to activate the game. The only condition is that before you can enter characters, you must disconnect the connection to the Internet.

• 2E5V-JZ93-YLJB-SYLJ-ERLD.
• J3EE-4DMT-U3AQ-4U3A-URLD.
• JK88-MQQQ-EUAT-7EUA-WRLD.
• 27ZR-Y2T9-Q8SV-8Q8S-YRLD.

In addition, if you downloaded the game from the torrent, most likely there is a file called "crack". Open it and copy the files to the root folder of the game. If any particular method, it will be described in a text document called "readme".

Cheats

All cheats and other messages are entered on the command line. It is called by simultaneous pressing of keys Ctrl + Shift + C. The obligatory condition is the English keyboard layout.

After entering the necessary information, press "Enter" to activate it and "Escape" to exit the menu.

Before using the codes for "Sims-4", you need to enable this function. To do this, enter the words "true" or "on" in English, without quotes, in the command line. To turn off, respectively, we write "false" or "off". Cheats do not take into account the register, so it does not matter what letters to enter - by capital letters or small letters.

Let's take a look at the easiest option - the developer code. To activate it, you need to enter the following phrase in the command line, without the quotes: "TestingCheatsEnabled true".

What do we get? The main tools are now the left mouse button and the "Shift" key.
So, when you click on the character a menu pops up, allowing you to increase your age or change your character traits.

If, holding "Shift", click on any place in the field of visibility, your hero will move there.

Change the level of needs is also becoming easy. It is necessary to hold "Shift" and drag the cursor up or down the scale.

In this mode, by clicking on an extraneous character, you can add it to the active family. And it does not matter that you download a free game. "Sims-4" from this will not lose in functionality.

Entering the active family mailbox menu will allow you to:

- make everyone happy in the family;
- teleport to himself a character from the list;
- invite any guest;
- reduce the need;
- add all the residents of the city to your friends list;
- To choose the necessary level of career.

In the realities of this release without such tweaks in the game a couple of days to do absolutely nothing. So I want to say that the only plus is the output of "Sims-4" in Russian. The English version, most likely, would not have taken root at all.

Here is a list of the most used cheats:

• Motherlode - increases your account by 50 000 dollars.
• LifeTimeHappiness - the character adds 50,000 points of desire.
• JokePlease - in the command line you can read the anecdote.
• ResetSim - the code needed in case of a jam in the texture. The character will appear in the house.
• MoveObjects on - now you can at will move objects and delete unnecessary heroes.
• ConstrainFloorElevation false - you have sex at your disposal. Now you can make a room of any height! This code is often used in "Sims-4". Feedback on the forums is a clear confirmation.
• RecordVideo small / medium / large low / moderate / high / max - decided to record a video? Set your options.
• FullScreen on - enable full screen mode via the command line.
• HideHeadlineEffects off - irritate the balloons of thoughts over your heads? Turn them off!
