Line 33: ''[[The Sims 4]]'' was released in 2014 as the fourth iteration in the series with major overhauls to [[Create-A-Sim]] (CAS), [[Live Mode]] and [[Build Mode]]. CAS has a new interface whereby players can simply click and drag different parts of a Sim to modify their features, instead of using numerical sliders. Build mode now functions as a room-based system, whereby individual rooms are recognised and can be easily moved or manipulated. Build Mode also sees the addition of multiple new tools, and increases flexibility in object placement. In Live Mode, Sims experience [[emotion]]s which will affect their behaviour, the Sims around them, and extreme emotions can even be fatal to a Sim experiencing them. ''The Sims 4'' also introduces an in-game content sharing system known as the [[Gallery]]. Players can instantly upload their creations to the Gallery, or seamlessly download the creations of others to add to their game. As of ~~June~~December ~~2019~~2020, ~~seven~~ten expansion packs have been released for ''The Sims 4'': ''[[The Sims 4: Get to Work\|Get to Work]]'', ''[[The Sims 4: Get Together\|Get Together]]'', ''[[The Sims 4: City Living\|City Living]]'', ''[[The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs\|Cats & Dogs]]'', ''[[The Sims 4: Seasons\|Seasons]]'', ''[[The Sims 4: Get Famous\|Get Famous]],'' ~~and~~ ''[[The Sims 4: Island Living\|Island Living]]'', ''[[The Sims 4: Discover University\|Discover University]]'', ''[[Eco Lifestyle]]'' and ''[[Snowy Escape]]''.
