Project Rene, which may end up being called The Sims 5, has started some small playtests. A new video series, Behind The Sims, will continue to show off upcoming features in the Sims franchise. This video discusses Project Rene, as well as several new features coming to The Sims 4 and the franchise’s mobile titles.
In the video, Sims Team member Mersea interviewed Project Rene’s game director Grant Rodiek. He describes the playtests as “just the start of an incredibly long journey.” This playtest, like several upcoming ones will, shared small parts of the game with small amounts of people.
This particular playtest focused on furniture customization and buy mode. It explored features like copying styles from item to item, changing the material, pattern, or size of items, and rotating an entire rooms furniture all at once. This content was tested on both PC and mobile. Creations made on mobile will be downloadable and usable on PC and vise versa.
