The Sims 4 is a life simulation video game developed by Maxis and The Sims Studio and published by Electronic Arts.
The game was released on September 2, 2014 and is the sequel of The Sims 3.
The game is available on Microsoft Windows and OS X.
The Sims 4 is made from the same idea of the other games in the series.
The player controls their Sims' everyday lives.
The game is open-ended and has barely any limits.
The lots are connected with a large map.
Sims can go to lots close to where they are by walking there, but can use their cell phones to go anywhere.
Create-A-Sim
Create-A-Sim is needed to create Sims characters.
With no Sims, you can't play the game.
Sims 4's Create-A-Sim is easier to use than it is in other Sims games.
The Sim's body type can be changed by clicking and dragging parts of the Sim's body.
There is a slider to change how muscular the Sim is and another slider to change how fat the Sim is.
A Sim's clothing can be customized  by the player.
Mods can change this, but mods can also damage the game.
Sims have several outfits.
Each outfit is made in Create-A-Sim.
They wear different outfits in different situations: an everyday outfit, a formal outfit, an athletic outfit, a sleep outfit, a party outfit, and swimwear.
The player can change the Sims' outfits at any time in Live Mode.
Traits are what give Sims their personalities.
Every trait you give a Sim will add something to their personality.
For example, giving a Sim the cheerful trait will make them happy more often.
When you are first creating your Sim you can give them three traits, and when you choose their aspiration you get one more.
After that you can give them more traits by completing aspirations.
There is no limit to the number of traits a Sim can have.
The aspirations are:
• Creative, the Sim is more likely to read books, paint, etc.
This can link well with most traits.
• Genius, the Sim is very intelligent.
They will become upset if they have not read in a while, and can link well with the Creative trait.
• Happy, the Sim is cheerful and optimistic.
They will become tense around people with the 'Sad' trait.
• Playful - The Sim is more likely to have the Playful moodlet, and is the opposite of the Snob trait.
It links well with the Immature trait.
A Sim's aspiration is their biggest goal.
You can change your Sim's aspiration whenever you want.
The first aspiration you choose when you are creating your Sim will give you a special trait, but changing your Sim's aspiration after that won't change your Sim's traits.
Each aspiration gives your Sims a set of tasks to complete.
When you complete all these tasks you will get a second special trait.
The trait you get will be different for each aspiration.
These can be completed if wanted using cheat codes in the game.
Child and Toddler Sims have their own group of aspirations to complete.
These aspirations cannot be given to adult and teen Sims.
Live Mode
Sims can only move and be controlled while the player is playing in Live Mode.
In Live Mode, 1 second of real time=1 minute in in-game time.
In Live Mode, the player can control one Sim in the selected household.
Sims can form relationships by talking to other Sims.
The way your Sims treat who they're talking to will affect their relationships.
If they are nice to a sim they will have a friendly relationship, but if they are mean they will have a bad relationship.
Your Sims can also have romantic relationships with other Sims.
The 6 needs in the game are Fun, Energy, Hunger, Bladder, Social and Hygiene.
This can change with the Vampire game pack, as the needs are Vampire Energy, Thirst, Hygiene, Social and Fun.
Sims have different moods depending on what happens to them.
The positive moods include Happy, Confident, Energized, Flirty, Focused, Inspired, and Playful.
The negative moods include Angry, Bored, Dazed, Embarrassed, Sad, Tense, Uncomfortable, and Scared.
These moods are triggered by moodlets.
Each moodlet has a certain number of points.
For example, a moodlet may give your Sim "+2 Happy".
Whichever mood has the most points will be the mood that your Sim is in at that time.
Sims have different behaviors depending on their mood.
It also impacts their social interactions with other Sims and their work performance.
Moodlets
Whims
There are many whims in the game.
For example, your Sim may want to buy a TV, do their homework or take a bath.
If a Sim is not able to care for itself and the player does not help them, the Sim will die.
For example, Sims will die from starvation if they don't eat.
Usually, they will die in accidents or from old age.
When a Sim dies, the Grim Reaper will come to take away the Sim's soul.
Before the Grim Reaper takes away the dead Sim's soul, other Sims are able to beg for the dead Sim's life.
This will not always work.
If it does, the Sim will come back to life.
If the Sim really dies, they will be replaced by a gravestone or urn.
Buy Mode
Unlike previous games, build and buy mode are combined into one mode.
In this mode, players can modify their Sims' houses, such as adding or removing rooms and furniture.

A mince pie, also known as 'minced pie', is a small British fruit-based mince sweet pie.
It is usually served during the Christmas season.
Originally it was a savoury pie, now it is a sweet pie.
The early mince pie was known by several names, including mutton pie, shrid pie and Christmas pie.
Typically its ingredients were a mixture of minced meat, suet, a range of fruits, and spices.
The ingredients for the modern mince pie can be traced to the return of European crusaders from the Holy Land.
Middle Eastern methods of cooking, which sometimes combined meats, fruits and spices, were popular at the time.
Pies were created from such mixtures of sweet and savoury foods; in Tudor England, shrid pies (as they were known then) were formed from shredded meat, suet and dried fruit.
The addition of spices such as cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg was "in token of the offerings of the Eastern Magi".
Early pies were much larger than those of today, and oblong shaped. "
The coffin of our Christmas-Pies, in shape long, is in imitation of the Cratch" (Jesus's crib).
In old English cookery books the crust of a pie is generally called 'the coffin'.

The Battle of Monte Cassino (also called the Battle for Rome and the Battle for Cassino) was a battle during the Italian Campaign of World War II.
It was a series of four attacks by the Allies against the Winter Line in Italy held by the Germans and Italians.
At the beginning of 1944, the western half of the Winter Line was held by Germans.
They held the Rapido, Liri, and Garigliano valleys and some of the mountains.
Together, these valleys and mountains were called the Gustav Line.
The goal of the Battle of Monte Cassino was to break through this line to Rome.
Monte Cassino, a church, was not occupied by the German defenders.
The Germans had set up defence positions in the slopes.
German paratroopers went into the abbey's ruins.
Between 17 January and 18 May, Monte Cassino and the Gustav defences were attacked four times by Allied troops.
The German defenders were finally driven from their positions, but with many losses for the Allies.
The Allied landings in Italy in September 1943 were followed by an advance north in two parts.
An advance was made on each side of the mountain range in the middle of Italy.
On the western side, U.S. Fifth Army moved from Naples.
In the east General Sir Bernard Montgomery's British Eighth Army moved up the Adriatic coast.
The Fifth Army made slow progress because of difficult land and German defences.
The Germans were protected in positions.
The original plans that Rome would be captured by October 1943 did not occur.
Although in the east the Ortona was captured, the advance stopped in December because of snow.
Going to Rome from the east was not possible.
Highway 6 ran through the Liri valley.
The south entrance to this valley was Cassino.
It was an important part of Gustav Line, the strongest defensive positions in the Winter Line.
Some Allied aircraft saw German troops in the Abbey.
The Abbey looked over the valley.
This made it a good place for German artillery observers.
This made Allied commanders want to bomb the Abbey.
First battle
Plans and preparation
The plan of U.S. Fifth Army commander General Clark was for British X Corps to attack on January 17, 1944.
The  British 46th Infantry Division was to attack on January 19.

The main central attack by U.S. II Corps would start on January 20.
The 36th (Texas) U.S. Infantry Division would cross a river five miles from Cassino.
The French Expeditionary Corps would move towards Monte Cairo.
First attack X Corps on the left, 17 January
The first attack was made on January 17.
Near the coast, British X Corps crossed the Garigliano.
General von Senger, commander of German XIV Panzer Corps did not think he could stop the attack.
He asked for more troops.
The 29th and 90th Panzer Grenadier Divisions were sent to him.
X Corps had 4,000 casualties during the first battle.
Main attack II Corps in the centre, 20 January
The central attack by U.S. started on January 20.

The U.S. 34th Division had to fight southward.
By early February, American infantry had captured point less than a mile from the abbey.

Attempts to capture Monte Cassino were stopped by machine gun fire from the slopes.
On February 11, after a 3-day attack on Monastery Hill and Cassino town, the Americans pulled back.

They lost 80% in the Infantry battalions, about 2,200 casualties.
Second battle
This was called Operation Avenger.
With U.S. VI Corps under threat at Anzio, Freyberg asked to help at Cassini.
Freyberg thought there was only a 50% chance of success for the attack.
Destruction of the abbey
Allied officers started to think the Germans were using the abbey of Monte Cassino as an artillery observation point.
The Allies thought of  bombing with "blockbuster" bombs.
The bombing in the morning of February 15, 1944 involved 142 Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses heavy bombers followed by 47 North American B-25 Mitchell and 40 Martin B-26 Marauder medium bombers.
They dropped 1,150 tons of bombs on the abbey.
This turned it into rubble.
II Corps artillery shelled the mountain.
The German positions above and behind the monastery were untouched.
After the bombing
Pope Pius XII said nothing after the bombing.
Cardinal Secretary of State called the bombing “stupidity.”
Following its destruction, paratroopers of the German 1st Parachute Division occupied the ruins of the abbey.
They turned it into a fortress and observation post.
On the night following the bombing, a company of the 1st Battalion Royal Sussex Regiment attacked on Snakeshead Ridge.
The attack failed, with the company getting 50% casualties.
The following night the Sussex Regiment was ordered to attack with a whole battalion at midnight.
The Sussex battalion was fought off, once again sustaining over 50% casualties.
On the night of February 17 the main attack was done.
The 4/6th Rajputana Rifles failed in their attack and had heavy losses.

There was also an artillery attack from 746 artillery pieces.
By the end of March 17 the Gurkhas held a point near the Abbey.
New Zealand units and armour had captured the station.
March 19 was planned for the attack on the town and on the Abbey.
An attack by the German 1st Parachute Division stopped the Allied attack and destroyed the tanks.
In the town the attackers made little progress.
Allied troops had to fight house by house.
Freyberg thought the attack could not continue and he ended it.
The German 1st Parachute Division had taken heavy losses, but had held onto their position.
Fighting in Cassino caused the 4th Indian Division to lose 3,000 men and the New Zealand Division had 1,600 men killed, missing and wounded.
The German defenders had heavy losses.
Fourth battle
General Alexander's plan in Italy was to force the enemy to use the maximum number of divisions in Italy.
With the arrival of the spring weather, it would be possible to use large groups of troops and armour.
The fourth battle was called Operation Diadem.
The plan was that U.S. II Corps on the left would attack up the coast.
The French Corps would attack across the Garigliano.
British XIII Corps in the centre right of the front would attack along the Liri valley.
On the right Polish II Corps (3rd and 5th Divisions) would attack the Abbey.
It took two months to get the troops ready.
Movements of troops was done in the darkness.

In sport, a championship is a competition to determine which individual or team is the champion.
Different forms of competition can be called a championship.
It is usually the final competition in a tournament (a series of competitions).
For example, the FIFA World Cup is a tournament held every four years.
The winner of the final competition of each tournament becomes that tournament's champion.
In a league system, the championship is the final competition of a regular season.
In some league systems, a series of playoffs is used to determine the champion of a season.
There is one champion for each season.
In combat sports, such as wrestling and boxing, a competitor must challenge the current champion to win the championship.
The Atlas Computer was a computer installed in Manchester University in 1962 that was very important in the development of computing.
The Atlas computer was one of the worlds first supercomputers and possibly the most powerful computer in the world at its time.
A management information system is a system that allows a company to run efficiently, by providing the relevant information the company needs.
Nowadays, management information systems use specialized software that runs on a computer.
A management information system is usually targeted at economic aspects of running a company, while an executive information system is usually designed for managing staff.
The first such systems were built in the 1960s.

Ortona was one of Italy's few deep water ports on the east coast.
The Allies wanted to capture the port.
The Germans had constructed a series of defensive positions in the town.
The Canadians had to battle the  German 1st Parachute Division.
These soldiers were experienced after many years of war.
Adolf Hitler ordered them to defend Ortona.
The Canadian attack on the town was on December 20.
The Germans had hidden machine guns and anti-tank guns in the town.
This made it hard for Canadian tanks and infantry to move.
The fighting was very violent.
The soldiers fought for every house.
After six days fighting, 2nd Brigade's third battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, joined the battle.
Tanks from 1st Canadian Armoured Brigade also joined the battle.
On 28 December, after eight days of fighting, the Germans withdrew from the town.
The Canadians had 1,375 dead.
The attack was commanded by American Major General John P. Lucas.

The land of central Italy helped the defence.
Operation Shingle was planned by Winston Churchill in December 1943.
He planned to land two divisions at Anzio and capture Rome.
General Harold Alexander had thought of a plan using five divisions.
However, the 5th Army did not have enough troops or a way to transport them.
The Anzio and Nettuno beaches are on marshland.
When Truscott's 3rd Division was selected for the attack, he said everyone would die.
Lucas was told lead the Fifth Army's U.S. VI Corps in a landing in the Anzio/Nettuno area.
Planners thought that if German forces left the Gustav Line to defend against the Allied attack, then Allied forces would be able to break through the line.
If troops were left on the Gustav Line, then the Allies could try to capture Rome.
The Allies planned to attack from the south.
They wanted to capture a beach near Anzio, move forward, and be ready to go to Rome.
Availability of naval forces
Only enough tank landing ships (LSTs) to land a single division were available.
Later, Churchill made sure enough were available to land two divisions.
The British force ("Peter Beach"): This force attacked the coast  north of Anzio.
The northwestern U.S. Force ("Yellow Beach"): This force attacked the port of Anzio.

At 05:00 the Germans ordered the Kampfgruppe of 4th Parachute Division and the Hermann Göring Panzer Division to defend the roads leading from Anzio to the Alban Hills.
The Germans had 40,000 troops in defensive positions.
Von Mackensen's 14th Army took command of the defence on January 25.
Parts of eight German divisions were put around the beach.
Five more divisions were on their way to the Anzio area.
Allied offensive
The arrival of U.S. 45th Infantry Division and U.S. 1st Armored Division, brought Allied forces total on the beach to 69,000 men, 508 guns and 208 tanks by January 29.
The total defending Germans had risen to 71,500.

Both had 20,000 casualties each since the first landings.
Also on February 18 while returning to Anzio the light cruiser  was struck by two torpedoes and sunk with a loss of 417 men.
Planning for Operation Diadem
Both sides realised that no result could be achieved until the spring.
The Germans built a new defence line, the Caesar C line.
The Allies planned an attack in May.
This would include attacking the Gustav Line, which was called Operation Diadem.
In March, the 2nd Italian SS "Vendetta" Battalion and 29th Italian SS Rifle Battalion were sent to fight against the Allied forces at the Anzio/Nettuno beach.
U.S. 34th Infantry Division arrived at Anzio in the same month.
In May, U.S. 36th Infantry Division had arrived at Anzio.
By late May, there were 150,000 Allied troops.
There were five German divisions.
The Germans had prepared defenses, but they lacked officers.
The Allied planning for their attack was detailed.
British 5th Division and 1st Division were to attack along the coast.
The U.S. 45th Infantry, 1st Armored and 3rd Infantry Divisions would attack the German 362nd and 715th Infantry Divisions.
At 05:45 on May 23, 1944, 1,500 Allied artillery pieces started bombing.
Then Allied infantry and armour moved forward.
The first day's fighting was hard: 1st Armored Division lost 100 tanks and 3rd Infantry Division had 955 casualties.
The Germans 362nd Infantry Division lost 50% of its fighting strength.
In the afternoon of May 25 Cisterna was captured by the 3rd Division.
In the evening, the Allies turned ninety degrees to the left.
On the new attack little progress was made until 1st Armored arrived on May 29.
On June 2 the Caesar Line broke and the 14th Army pulled back through Rome.
Hitler ordered no defence of Rome.
After the war, some experts said the Anzio plan was not good.
It used just two infantry divisions with no armour.
Operation Diadem (during which U.S. 5th and British 8th Armies had 44,000 casualties) failed in its goal of destroying the German 10th Army.

The WaveBird Wireless Controller is a wireless game controller for the Nintendo GameCube video game console.
It uses radio frequency signals to communicate with the controller.
It is powered by standard AA batteries.
Its name is a reference to Dolphin, which is what the GameCube was named during development.
The WaveBird controller has the same design as the normal GameCube controllers.
It is a little bigger and heavier than the normal GameCube controllers.
It has a dial for selecting the channel a person wants the controller on, an on/off switch, and an orange LED light which is used to show that the controller is turned on.
The WaveBird does not have the rumble feature that the normal GameCube controller has, as that would make the battery last for a shorter amount of time.
Like the normal GameCube controller, the WaveBird can be used with the Wii.
It can be used for GameCube and Virtual Console titles, as well as with some Wii games and WiiWare titles.
The WaveBird became more popular after the Wii's release because of how it can control those games wirelessly.
