In April 2010, an EA employee leaked information on [http://www.twitter.com/ Twitter] that development of ''The Sims 4'' had begun.<ref>[http://www.simprograms.com/sims-4-in-production-and-a-note-to-those-in-the-community/ TS4 in production note]</ref> However, that is the only information available.

[[File:Sims-4.png|thumb|An edited screen shot of ''The Sims 4'' on [[Origin]]]]
In April 1, 2012, which is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools%27_Day April Fools' Day], SimsVIP pranked viewers by photoshopping images which enthralled users making them believe ''The Sims 4'' was being started on by creating a post with the title ''The Sims 4 Press Release + Origin Listing *Leak*''.

This is what the post shows:

<blockquote>EA REVEALS FIRST DETAILS OF NEXT-GENERATION FLAGSHIP PC GAME - The Sims 4 Gives You Complete Freedom, Inspiring You With Endless Creative Possibilities.</blockquote> A teaser trailer was released on YouTube and was confirmed by EA as The Sims 4.

The post included information on what's involved in ''The Sims 4'' such as;
*"Sims can go beyond the boundaries of their neighborhood, and immerse themselves in an open subhood, interacting with other Sims using our new deeper personality system"
*“It is this type of open-ended gameplay that inspires endless creative possibilities. In addition the new goals and rewards systems will give players of all kinds from core gamers to storytellers the ability to enjoy long-term gameplay.”
*New Weather System — Every Day is an Unpredictable Day
*“The Weather System really delivers what the players have been asking for – a unique gaming experience offering new seasonal, outdoor activities that players can engage in. And because each season unfolds differently, winter, spring, summer and fall will look different than the year before, guaranteeing a fresh experience each season.”

On April 25, 2013, SimsVIP revealed screenshots from a flash mock-up of the possible UI for The Sims 4, and also mentioned how several staff working on The Sims 3 had moved to a new team but were not allowed to give more information.<ref>http://simsvip.com/2013/04/25/the-sims-4-pre-production-ui-design-screens/</ref>

On May 6, 2013, [[Maxis]] announced the title and it is confirmed that it will be released on Mac and PC in 2014.
