Behind The Sims: Project Rene announcements
Click to enlargeThe Sims team showed off more early footage of Project Rene, including prototypes of how the lighting system will work in the game. The team emphasised that they want the lighting to be dynamic enough to add to storytelling and to look sleek across both PC and mobile, emphasising that the game will release across both platforms.

Footage of placeholder Sims was used, showing them navigating through a busy neighbourhood with a set daily routine. The hope from the team is that this will enable environments to feel busy and lived-in.
Hair choices were given priority and we got a prototype glimpse of an ombre system used to dip dye hair for added customisation.
