As for other The Sims 4 updates, more information about the upcoming version of the famous lifestyle simulation game was revealed during Game Developers Conference 2014.

In one of the GDC 2014 sessions called "Concurrent Interactions in The Sims 4", software engineer Peter Ingebretson explained one of the new features coming to the game - multitasking. As posted on Polygon, the engineer said that the goal of Maxis for the upcoming simulation game was to make it "the most natural iteration."

Ingebretson shared:

When we looked at the sims and tried to decide what would make them feel more natural and more believable, one thing that we realized is that in the real world, people do things at the same time all the time," Ingebretson said. "For instance, people stand around in a bar drinking drinks, sitting down. Sometimes people will stand and sit and talk to each other. It seems very natural when characters in a game can multitask.

Furthermore, the software engineer said that multitasking "turns out that it's in some ways realistic." He continues, "In the real world, people's brains work this way. There's a lot of psychological research that shows people multitask by switching between different things."
