Community has always been at the heart of The Sims, and the game has benefited from a development cycle that has coincided with the golden age of social media where communities migrated onto online platforms, making discussions more accessible and relevant than ever before. With a game like The Sims 4 that imitates life and technology, and allows for real-time updates, the sky is the limit for potential content, especially with the opportunity the developer has to tap into the community's opinions.
