Sims 4 won't be reviewed until after release EA not giving out early review copies.

im personaly thinking they were planning to make it like a browser based game. maybe cross platform IOs type or maybe like the old laptop ready games (sims stories i mean)

while i understand that many people play sims games on laptops, its not going to work out for them (ea) if they go for the minimum system use all the time.
infact they should just remake (or make more) stories style versions for laptops (and slower systems) and then they can have both their cake and eat it.
users who's machines cant handle the heavey version can buy the 'lite' edition and those who CAN and have a beasty grade can fill their machines with cc (oh, wait, they dont WANT you to fill your machine with CC only with DLC lol)
thats more versions of the game to sell and make moneys off. but then..EA arent exactly logical the way normal folks are logical....

I doubt there'll be any resolution to this what with the release date coming so soon, but I'm trying to gather opposition for review embargoes for any upcoming EA games if anyone's interested: http://gamerpetitions.com/petition/ea-review-embargo

It's just going to keep on happening. And, frankly, it has nothing to do with consumers who would wait for reviews anyway. They don't care about that extra week. They care about preventing reviews from dissuading fans eager to buy the game, which totally undermines why reviews exist at all.

Can you change that background picture or the font color? It's pretty much unreadable on my screen.

well... a little possable good news....
through looking for stuff for my sims2 (once i get rid of those not workign clothes im missing the meshes for, i may have room for a couple more files lol)
i found someone had made default replacement eyes for the make-a-sim demo.....so it looks like there is *some* alterations you can make.
i doubt they will allow them into the real game tho
(they were using a demo of just make a sims, rather than early game or demo of the game itself.)

so in time, there *may* be custom stuff, but it probably will only be ether default replacements (like these eyes) or just the stuff you can wear/hair/skin ect.

a (very) small ray of hope....

Edit*
speakin of which....the first downloads for the sims 4 (outside of their online pages)

not much but something to try if you want it.
