The main characters in The Sims 4 can be anything they want. Be it a strong and polite gentleman who works as a firefighter, a pretty and clever teenager who aspires to be a scientist, or even an evil young man who loves to mistreat others and steals furniture at night. Everything is viable in this world full of possibilities and seemingly infinite outcomes. Live the life you want, with the characters you want, the way you want. Create Sims from scratch and give them an amazing personality, interesting traits, and control their lives from birth until their death.

Dedicate your Sim's life to pursue the career of their dreams, or build up a strong relationship and start a new family with someone your Sim loves. Make new friends (or enemies), explore your neighborhood, fulfill your Sims dreams and aspirations, build and customize your house and furniture, and share your creations with players around the world.  Play the game the "traditional" way of living by your own rules and decisions, or take on the new Legacy Challenge, and try to make your Sim's family line last for ten generations. No matter how you decide to play the game, the result will always be unique for each style of gameplay.
