Gamescom Reveal and Leak
It was confirmed at the June 18 live broadcast (and July 23 live broadcast, regarding August 22, 2013) that The Sims 4 will have a huge reveal, including a trailer ), at Gamescom on August 20, 2013 (14:00 UTC) and a further preview on August 22, 2013 at (15:00 UTC) containing a live gameplay demo. The preview will be shown at EA channel in Twitch, instead of streaming via TheSims channel on YouTube.

Meanwhile, SimsCamp was an event planned for late August, 2013 in Cologne, Germany. It is centered around 'The Sims 4' reveal at Gamescom. Many well-known fansites and personalities (called the "YibSims", meaning best friends in Simlish) were invited to be part of the event. They had the opportunity to ask questions and play the game for the first time.

Before the Gamescom reveal, multiple fansites have created articles which leaked the game's previews and information, which was found on the servers running on thesims.com website. There were many renders leaked as well and the leak also included an article from PC Powerplay, a gaming magazine.

The reveal was presented by Rachel Franklin, the executive producer on The Sims 4. She explained "SmartSim", a feature which enriches emotions for the Sims. In the game, the Sims' emotions are affected in many ways, for example, relationships, furniture, etc.

She also showed "creative tools", like the similar Create a Sim and Build Mode, which was reinvented to make them "intuitive, powerful and flexible". In build mode, you can still place a room and then "push and pull" these walls to extend. You can also drag rooms to anywhere "like ripping a page from a magazine". In Create a Sim, you can "sculpt a Sim" as if you are "playing with clay" and set their walk styles. It also shows off new objects like a voodoo doll, a violin and a punching bag.

At the end of the reveal, she stated that the official website for The Sims 4 is ready and pre-orders for Limited Edition and Digital Deluxe can be made.
