Lighting is The Sims 3 looks real.
Light is soft, darkness is dark.
Light is soft, darkness is dark.

Literally just falling in love with Paralives.
It's now dawning on me how beautiful it is.

I see Victorian London in The Sims 5 and inZOI.
Or even in the life simulation game by Midsummer Studios.

I imagine slow walks through the streets of London in The Sims 5.
I want direct control of my sim for this.
Think Syndicate, but as an actual simulation.

Piper Wright is one of my favorite companions in Fallout 4.
The wizard of words, the truth speaker, the intelligent woman.
The Sims 5 will give me the chance to reinvent this archetype.

Sims have taste in The Sims 5.
Books, for instance. Each genre could attract a certain type of sim.
Players could customize the title, cover, and even write the content of each book in the game.
Imagine a digital place to keep notes and stories in the game... Books that your sims could read.

This is why cohesive neighborhoods matter in The Sims 5:
"Art deco is often referred to as a "total style", meaning that it crossed many disciplines, influencing not only architecture and interiors, but also furniture, industrial design, transport, fashion, graphics and art."

In addition to Victorian, Edwardian, and Midcentury...
I love Art Deco.
It's part of my Sims creative universe as a delightfully classy lens.

I see an Art Deco town in The Sims 5.
Roaring Heights is absolutely gorgeous and it deserves a next-gen version.
It is inspired by Miami and Los Angles in the 1920s and 30s.
I imagine better lighting, denser neighborhoods, and more simulation cohesion in TS5.

I see coherent worlds in The Sims 5.
An immersive simulated version of 1940s London, for instance.
Styles align: fashion, architecture, transportation.
Rules are internally coherent in this specific neighborhood, different from other places.

5 - Self-Transforming: The self is aware of its own limitations and is open to multiple perspectives and contradictions. They transcend a single identity, understanding that all systems are interconnected.
I inhabit this mental space.
My mind is systemic, fractal, meta integrated.

4 - Self-Authoring: The self is defined by an internal authority. Individuals create their own ideology, identity, and set boundaries, rather than relying on external approval.

I want to see Kegan’s "Mind Types" in The Sims:
2 - Imperial: Ruled by personal needs, interests, and desires. Rules are followed only to get needs met.
3 - Socialized: The self is defined by external expectations, relationships, and societal norms. Individuals adopt the beliefs of their group.

Early official description of the new Sims game:
"A new Sims single-player life-sim game for PC and console, where players create unique Sims, build imaginative spaces, and shape stories that unfold across lively open neighborhoods."

The Sims 3 has the best lighting and textures in the entire franchise.
I would love to see a modern upgrade of this style in the new Sims game.

Strike me up a gum tree!
The lighting, the textures, the color scheme, the vibe.
Peak perfection, seamless goodness.
Buttery smooth performance on my laptop (Radeon 780M).
