The latest "The Sims 4" news hints that the forthcoming simulation game is 98.5% complete!
A little over two months before the anticipated The Sims 4 release date for the game, fresh TS4 news revealed how much has been done to the game. As cited on a SimsVIP, a recent article from GamesMaster magazine shared that The Sims 4 was "70 percent complete" at the time of their "preview." The SimsVIP further noted, "Even though their hands on session were probably conducted 2-3 months ago, releasing this kind of information so close to launch, is worrisome."
So to respond to and clarify the claim, Trevor Lindsey or @SimGuruTrev, a Game Play Engineer for The Sims 4 revealed that upcoming game is 98.5 % finished. See her actual post via Twitter below:
@mauzao9 @SimGuruShannon @SimGuruSarah Must be a rounding error in their math. I think we're more like 98.5% done. :)

She posted another tweet about percentage completion for games:
There is no way to quantify how "done" a game is. Percentage completion is a made up thing. Also, sarcasm doesn't translate well on twitter. — Trevor Lindsey (@SimGuruTrev) June 20, 2014
