With EA's The Sims 4 confirmed for release, simulation fans are sure to get their latest fix from this series, especially when it comes to using the new Create-a-Sim mode. However, that's not all, as EA has just released a trailer that shows another creative tool that's coming to the PC release.

With the new Build Mode, players can create their dream home with no problem, with the ability to drag and drop complete rooms however they please. So if you ever wanted to have an arcade next to an office (without having to worry about creating that pesky bedroom), you'll get your wish.

Build Mode operates with a tactile and intuitive interface, according to EA, which means it'll be easier than ever for players to set up their living space. Just remember that you'll have people coming over, so maybe don't make every room with Goth décor, k?

More of The Sims 4 is expected to be revealed in a couple of weeks, during EA's pre-E3 press conference on June 9th.

      Not a fan of the art style for the characters. Looks like a Facebook app.

        Sims 2 (the game that pretty much established the series aesthetic henceforth) predates those kind of games by years. It really is the other way around. Those fb games, trying to leach off the popularity of the sims at the time, mirrored their style after the sims 2.

          Nah, I've played a ton of the sims 1 2 and 3. This has a similar overall art style but the character faces definitely look a little more cartoony, in a way that resembles portraits in Facebook games or on yahoo answers profiles. Not THAT different from previous games but enough in the wrong direction to really out me off.

      Very nice. I like the pre-furnished rooms.
