Here is some general Sims 4 information which is making the rounds. I fully expect this thread to be merged to the Sims 4 general discussion thread
This first information comes from SimGuruRachel's twitter feed which can be found here:
https://twitter.com/SimGuruRachelShe announced that the Sims 4 will definitely have a presence at this years Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) which will run from June 10 to June 12, 2014.
Her exact message was this:
Hey Simmers. Confirming all the rumors. Yes, The Sims 4 will be at E3.
(The specific tweet can be found
here)
Additionally, EA's official 'Sims Magazine' has a little more information as well.

As Simlish continues to grow and expand with each new entry in the series, so does the size of the group of folks working behind-the-scenes to make it an increasingly fun aspect of each game. Starting with only three voice actors in the earlier games, The Sims voice team has now tripled to nine different actors. A bigger team makes it possible to have a much greater range of choice in how your Sim characters sound when they speak.
This ongoing expansion extends to The Sims 4, which will feature the broadest range of Simlish yet. “We’ve expanded the lexicon, created specific ‘slang’ for different Sim age groups, and placed more focus on object-specific terminology,” said Cameron. “We’ve focused harder than ever before on making each Sim sound unique, and it’s really paying off. The cohesion and attention to detail has really helped Simlish to feel even more like a real language.”
