The Sims 4 first-person camera is coming

The Sims 4 is getting a first-person camera which will allow you to see through your sims' eyes as they struggle against the whims of the omnipresent, unseen force that capriciously rules their lives. It will also, as Polygon points out, be immediately paired with mods that expand on the sex lives of sims, but what'cha do with the feature isn't my business.

The update is free, and will also include a new 'style influencer' career as well as terrain manipulation tools. It'll be followed by a new expansion, Get Famous, a few days later on November 16.

For a better look at the new camera, check out the full November Maxis Monthly stream here. I for one look forward to trying out this more lifelike way to pretend I own a home. If you're looking to fine-tune your Sims experience, check out our guides to the best Sims 4 mods and Sims 4 cheats.

Thanks, Polygon.
