The Sims 5 hype can be summed up with two words: throw pillows

The Sims 5 (codenamed Project Rene) is officially in production, and I can't stop thinking about throw pillows. It seems like such a silly thing, the placement of pillows on a chaise or sectional, but for Simmers, it's as important as framerates in an FPS. 

While the Behind the Sims Summit only gave us the briefest of sneak peeks into a game that is still in the early stages of development, it's clear that build options are aligned with what the community has been asking for for years. The Sims 5 looks like it will finally give Simmer builders the tools they need to make truly exceptional builds without mods or CC. 

The Behind the Sims Summit gave us a brief look at Project Rene, EA and Maxis' internal name for what we're all calling The Sims 5. VP of franchise creative at The Sims, Lyndsay Pearson, introduced the Project Rene footage as "a very early behind-the-scenes look" of the team "experimenting with what's worked and where we can push further to offer more flexibility than ever before." 

One of those experiments is the ability to change not only the color and pattern of objects, but their entire shape, too. The video shows the proposed build mode allowing players to manually select the size, headboard shape, and footboard shape of a bed, cycling through each piece of the bed under a "select parts" section.

The video also shows off the pattern/color selection tools, which will feel very familiar for The Sims 3 players. Yes, a full-color wheel is available, as well as a litany of patterns and materials that you can choose separately for each part of the object. For
