I've always wanted to imprison my friends in a Devil in the White City-style Murder Castle, so I'm happy to see that The Sims 4 has a much a improved sim customization tool. Wait, no I haven't. Someone else must've written that. Weird. Anyway, The Sims 4 does has a powerful sim customization tool that looks great for creating likenesses of real people, and this new trailer demonstrates its direct manipulation tools with sims based on the development team.

I look forward to making the PC Gamer team, though it might be boring watching them play CS:GO and Hearthstone all day. I'm definitely not going to imprison them in The Winchester Mystery House (opens in new tab) and torment them with voodoo dolls to see who breaks first.
