The biggest question after the show(s) was: why is it 30fps on Xbox Series X and Series S and not 60fps? In this IGN Performance preview, we dive into the details shared by the team, the revealed PC minimum and recommended specifications, and how the Creation Engine 2 works, comparing the previous games to gauge some of the potential reasons why the team might have chosen 30fps. These new features will be added to the base game when the High School Years expansion arrives on July 28.With Starfield being the center of the Xbox 2023 Showcase last week, Bethesda gave us a deep dive into one of the biggest games this generation. It's certainly not a comprehensive series of sexual orientation options, but at least it's a small step forward and hopefully we'll see The Sims 4's systems grow more complex and feature more options in the future. These options can be changed at any point in the game.

You can also choose whether or not your Sim is exploring romantically or not (useful for asexual or aromantic characters or players, or anyone who just doesn't want to purse romantic relationships for whatever reason), and choose if your character is willing to WooHoo (or for teen characters, 'Mess Around' as it's being called in the expansion) with masculine or feminine characters, or both, or neither. With the options available, you'll be able to choose if your Sim is attracted to men, women, both, or neither, which will determine whether or not your Sim responds to advances from masculine or feminine characters. It should be noted that while this is being added to the base game, players who purchase the High School Years expansion will have more body and facial hair options than are included in this free update. Naturally, shaving will become an option so you can keep your Sim neatly groomed as part of your hygiene routine, if that's your thing. This furry new feature isn't just a decoration you choose in the character creation menu-you'll be able to toggle an option for growable hair, meaning your Sim will go from a five-o-clock shadow to a beard and body hair will slowly grow over time. First, your Sims no longer need to look like smooth plastic action figures-body hair is coming to the game at long last, including chest and stomach hair, arm and leg hair, new facial hair options, and yes, even back hair.

Alongside the expansion, a couple of interesting changes will be introduced to the The Sims 4 base game for free, ones the community has long been asking for.
