The demo showed a rare kind of plant that players can make. Only when Peter began to dance did Bob begin to cheer up, joining in with the fun. Bob was able to complain about his problems, while Peter offered hugs that still didn't do the job.
So Peter Moore's Sim was sent in to cheer up Pancake Bob. Needless to say they weren't getting along. He was married to Eliza, a much cherpier Sim. On stage they showed a Sim called Pancake Bob who had the 'gloomy' trait, who looked miserable despite eating a massive plate of pancakes. The way your Sim will socialise depends on the traits selected in the character creation process. Players are able to go fishing in their neighbourhood, splice new plants together, or go out and meet other Sims to socialise.
On stage they showed a football stadium-style house being brought in from the library, and then a maze that quickly killed off one of The Sims inside it. You can even bring in an entire house made by another player. Players are able to browse the creations of other players in the Gallery and can bring them straight into their own game. Once the house was settled, they set about the individual rooms. Everything can be moved, including the whole house, a feature that is new to The Sims 4. They then moved on to Build Mode, showing how a Sim's house is built. They then showed traits, such as sporty or creative, as well as details such as a 'walk style.'
It started with the Sim creator, the guys on stage creating an incredibly flattering version of EA COO Peter Moore to show off the range of face and body types available.
