Good evening. You're listening to Three Moves Ahead, and I am your host, Troy Goodfellow.

Rob Zakeney has the week off, which is kind of new for him. He doesn't have a lot of weeks off, which is probably for the best, because you're talking about a game he doesn't have a lot of experience or fun with.

But I do have two very special guests here to talk about what I think is one of the best strategy series ever made.

We did a show on it as a strategy game way back in like season one or season two of three moves ahead.

And that is the Sims games.

Sims 4 is the new version and maybe the last version from EA of the dollhouse

slash RPG slash fashion slash dating slash building sim. And with us tonight first our

a frequent guest, one of our dear friends from the UK, Mr. Paul Dean from Eurogamer and Shut Up, Sit Down.

Hello, I'm a dear friend, am I? Well, I think so. At this point, we're kind of dear friends.

You keep pinging me on Google Talk. Okay, well, that's great. Thank you.

I've got a very low threshold for friendship. Oh dear. And making her debut appearance on

three moves ahead from Kataku, I think the first

Kataku staff member to be on three moves ahead, Patricia Hernandez.

Patricia, welcome to the show.

Hi, glad to be here, Troy.

So, Patricia, because you're the rookie, we're going to throw it, I'm going to start with

you.

This is the fourth version of Sims, and usually with every start

of a new Sims, they take some stuff out, they go back to the beginning, and they reboot things

a little bit. What is missing from Sims 3? Where does Sims 4 start? What does it add? What does it

take out if you're coming to this fresh out of Sims 3?

I have actually, this is my first foray into the Sims world.
