News for The Sims 4

I just finished watching the Live Broadcast over on YouTube.  Island Paradise looks absolutely amaaaazzzzing and I cannot wait until it's released here in the UK on Friday 28th June (yep, we have to wait a little longer than our cousins across the pond).

As there will be quite a few posts and videos about the upcoming EP, I wanted to get straight into talking about the news we had for The Sims 4.

Today we met Albert Truong (above left), concept artist for TS4 who is really wacky and crazy and I love him.  Up until now, we have only seen the 'eyes' image together with the TS4 text:

Albert was extremely excited to show us his concept art for a Sims 4 character of which he was very proud:

Now, you do have to remember that this is 'concept' art which, according to the Wikipedia, is "a form of illustration where the main goal is to convey a visual representation of a design, idea, and/or mood...."  However, this art looks to me very much like the character portrayed in the supposed leaked Sims 4 video of Build #22H a few months ago which most believe is fake.  Let's take another look:





And here are the images together for comparison:

We're not going to hear any more news for The Sims 4 until July 9th at the next live broadcast.  The big good news is that at Gamescom on August 20th, the Sims team will be revealing an official trailer and more stuff.  Really excited for that one!

Let me know what you guys think; does the image from the supposed leaked trailer look like the concept art to you?

Cheers and Happy Simmin'!
