The Sims 4

[Sach4life]

Content as in?

[Heaven Angel]

New jobs, new map, new items, new ambitions, new skills, new rewards, new activities, future stuff, generations, school, university, seasons, movies, celebrities, past, aliens, pets, supernatural, world explore, etc.

 

Like I said, it's enormous.

[dylanjosh]

This released? :/

[Heaven Angel]

Yep. Almost 2 days now.

[Heaven Angel]

Nope. All are in-progress.

The game just needs content..They have paid more attention on the social aspect of the game...Lots of stuff have been removed..may return as DLC..

 

Btw..is there like a ultimate bundle for Sims 3 which has all expansions and the game..

[spindoctor]

Friend accidentally got an extra copy of the game so he gifted a key to me. It's still not released in India though so I haven't had a chance to play it yet. General impressions seem to be that it's missing vast amounts of content even compared to previous base games, but the stuff that they did leave in has been polished and is really fun to play. I reckon people will hit the content barrier in about a week or so and that's when we'll see what folks really think of it.

[Aftrunner]

I think I will wait a while before I think about buying it.

 

Sister asked me about it (god even knows how she heard that it was out, she isnt really a "gamer") and I told her to stick with the Sims 2 complete edition for now.

[spindoctor]

So I'll admit I was wrong about this game. The stuff that's missing is obnoxious but at the same time the stuff that's still there is super fun to play. It's extremely polished and has many gameplay improvements over past iterations. It's the best Sims game made to date if you somehow manage to ignore the stuff they left out.

 

I feel the missing features probably won't bother a casual player like me as much as it would for those who play the game religiously.

[shadow storm]

I'll probably wait for same sale not paying 4 k or might get it from Mexican store , waiting wasteland 2 this month

[Heaven Angel]

Everyone I know played the game and enjoyed it as well.

 

People spamming "missing content/no pools, etc" everywhere have no idea about the game. They just want to hate EA, nothing more.

 

Anyways, found these cool houses in community gallery. #Sloth

Nothing new. Was in Sims 2 itself.

Free Content Updates in The Sims 4 Starting…Now! Also, Gnomes.

 

It’s hard to believe it’s been a month since we launched The Sims 4, but in that short time we’ve received a ton of great feedback as you’ve started exploring the game. We’ve designed The Sims 4 to be a live service, so we can continually evolve the experience, add new content, and incorporate as much of your feedback as possible. That’s what I’m here to talk about today.

 

So let’s get to it. Live RIGHT NOW is the first of three major game updates coming to The Sims 4 over the next three months, each with new features, new content and more. The updates will be free for everyone playing The Sims 4 who downloads the latest patch, and yes, there will be pools!

 

First, a rundown on the October update:

• October brings the spoooooky addition of Ghosts to The Sims 4. Your dead Sims can now rejoin the world of the living, where they maintain all the attributes they had a as a Sim, but with special new behaviors based on how they died. Invite them to join your Sims’ household and they can be playable characters; if you dare, you might even find a way to bring your ghosts back to life.
• Did you feel that disturbance in The Force? It was probably our new Star Wars Costume Set. Outfit your Sims in Luke Skywalker’s X-wing pilot suit, Leia’s white robes and awesome cinnamon buns, Darth Vader’s suit and, yes, even Yoda. I mean, who out there hasn’t dressed as Yoda for Halloween, right? Now you can in The Sims 4, too!
• Community requests like new eye colors are in there, too. I have personally just given all my Sims purple eyes. Because I can. We’ve also fixed a few minor bugs as well.

Next come two more major updates:

In November, get your Sim-suits ready (too much pun? Sorry!) because pools will make their triumphant debut in The Sims 4.

December is Put-Your-Sims-To-Work Month, as we introduce new Career paths and rewards.

 

All of these updates will be free for our players in The Sims 4. Just log in to Origin and download the patches as we release them. Each update will be full of great content and some surprises. Think that gnomes only live in gardens? Clearly, you’re not playing enough of The Sims 4.

 

Our players are just the best. Period. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy seeing so many creations from The Sims 4 shared in The Gallery, in forums and streams on Twitch. One of my recent faves is Deligracy’s speed build video of the “Not so Dusty Turf” Family Home. The details and her commentary are spectacular (whispers to Deligracy: I’ve also glued eyes onto cactus plants to make them look like people too). This is why all of us working on The Sims 4 just love making this game – the creativity that comes to life in our community is like nothing else. Please keep showing us more, we can’t get enough.

 

We’ve been keeping our ears and eyes on all of the comments and questions you have about The Sims 4. It’s awesome to be able to help with tips and tricks for some questions right away:

 

• For example – looking for the old camera control system? Just hit Shift-Alt-Tab in live mode!

 

• Another one – perhaps you’re moving your first family into their first home, did you know you can choose from more than just the vacant homes? You can bulldoze a lot or evict some NPC Sims, no red tape required!

 

• OK one more – did you know you can change your Sims’ Aspirations at any time? Click the star button on the bottom right corner in Live mode to open the Aspirations panel, then click the star button on the right side and you’ll see all available Aspirations. If your Sim with the Evil trait just can't find love on his mission to become the town player, then maybe switching to pursue the Deviance aspiration will be more up his alley.

 

Other topics may take a bit more time. We know our players on Mac are looking to hear more. We are working on it. When we have more to share, we’ll bring the news to you right here.

 

We look forward to sharing more about the November and December content updates right here as we get closer to release. We’re also exploring new features and some expansion packs for further down the line, and we’re always listening to your feedback to help us decide what to build. We’ve said from the beginning that The Sims 4 is all about endless play possibilities, and we hope each of these updates add fun new dimensions to your experience.

 

Happy Simming!

Rejoice! Pools are Now in The Sims 4!

Hey Party People!!

I’m very excited to announce that we have just released a new, free update to The Sims 4. You’re invited to dive right in today! POOLS!!! OMG!!! ☺

One of the aspects of pools in The Sims 4 that I’m personally very excited about is the new way to build. For months now, we’ve been talking with you about Build mode and just how easy it is to create homes. All that great technology has now been applied to pools, making pool building faster and easier than ever before.

First off, we have diagonal pool building! Many of you have asked for this so we’re happy it will now be included in The Sims 4 after you update your game.

Rooftop pools! Yes, in The Sims 4 you can now build pools on the ground level, on the second floor and even on the roof!

But what about your Sims? They need awesome poolside outfits. Check out the new line of swimwear in Create A Sim! You can mix and match swimwear pieces or try out the “Swimwear” Styled Looks for today’s hottest trends. Now your Sims can really dress the part before taking a dip.

Your Sims don’t have to swim, they can sit along the pool ledge and chat with other Sims who are in the pool or snuggle close to a loved one. Spectators beware – they could be subject to some splashing from the other Sims in the pool. Watch out for that angry Sim who is cooling his temper by swimming around.

Of course pools would not be pools without a new death type. Yup, our old favorite, Death by Drowning is back! And you will see that the resulting ghost may be a little more wary of water than before. ☺

Patch notes | Pools.

Full patch notes:

Update: 12/16/2014 – Version 1.3.18.1010

Hey Simmers!

Happy Holidays, Decemberings, and other end of the year tidings! The office illnesses have come and gone (for me) and things are looking up for a festive year end. And just for you, we have an update filled with new careers, holiday goodies, Gallery fun-ness, some cheats, a gnome on the go, a few holiday tunes, interface updates, and a bug or two squashed!

As this is a bit long on the details, and in an effort to keep it brief, I’ll cut my monologue short. So, without further ado, on with the datums!

The Big NEW

• Business Career
  • Climb the corporate ladder, choosing between Angel Investor or Business Tycoon
  • New Career Outfits
  • New Reward Objects and Interactions
  • New Career Reward Rooms
• Athletic Career
  • Kick, punch, and swing your way through the Athletic career, choosing between Hall of Famer or Mr./Ms. Solar System
  • New Career Outfits (did someone say Llamacorn mascot outfit?)
  • New Reward Objects and Interactions
  • New Career Reward Rooms

• Paid Time Off (PTO)
  • Sims now accrue PTO by going to work, and can use their PTO to take a paid day off without losing work performance
  • Sims also want to take time off, and may get tense if they don’t
  • Sims will start off with 3 days PTO already accrued, so they can start work and immediately take a long weekend to recover.

• Family leave
  • Parents can now take paid time off for the birth of their baby
  • Moms can take time off during the third trimester. Sorry dads, you have to wait until after the birth to take time off
  • Family Leave is separate from PTO, and does not affect your PTO balance.

• Thanks to great player feedback, we made some pretty important changes to Career and Aspiration objectives. Please take a moment to review your Aspirations and Careers, as some of the objectives have possibly changed. Our main goals with this update were to:
  • Get rid of objectives that were too specific or repetitive
  • Fix objectives that were too difficult and/or too big of a jump from previous steps (e.g., going from requiring 2 friends to 6 friends)

• The Holiday Celebration Pack is available for you to unlock, completely free!
  • New Objects, including a wreath, wall decorations, and a grinning holiday snowman!
  • Some new Holiday Sweaters for your Sims (including winner of the fan voted sweater, #4)!

• Here are the instructions for how to get your Holiday Celebration Pack:
  • The Holiday Celebration Pack can be unlocked by logging into Origin and launching The Sims 4.
  • Banners within the main menu of The Sims 4 and in The Gallery will show the option to redeem the “Holiday Celebration Pack”.
  • Click on the respective banner to surface an in-game pop up that will place the Holiday Celebration Pack in your shopping cart.
  • No payment information will be required to check out.
  • You will then be directed to an order confirmation page. Click the “Close” button.
  • After closing, you will receive a notification that your content is preparing for download. Click the “OK” button.
  • Once the download is complete, a notification will inform you that the Holiday Celebration Pack has been successfully installed.
  • You will need to restart The Sims 4 in order to see content from the Holiday Celebration Pack in your game.
  • Alternatively, you can also redeem the Holiday Celebration Pack via Origin.com [insert link]. Simply follow the instructions to download and install the pack into your game.

The Not Quite as Big New

• A new Holiday themed speaker can be found in the Audio sort of Build mode, with all new Winter Holiday songs!
• The Strictly Business Gnome is ready for action! Maybe he’s late for an important business meeting, or maybe he’s just left the bank with an unexpected withdrawal. Only he knows!
• When your Sims get grungy from low hygiene, they will now look the part! Grunge is in, well in the 90s it was, so like 15 years ago, practically yesterday.
• Sims can now EAT the fruits and veggies they harvest from Gardening!
• Warning! Sims can now die at venues! You have been warned… We didn’t increase the chance of death or anything like that, it’s just you can die now. So it’s not so much a warning, as a public service announcement. Announcement served.
• New colors have been added to several existing doors, windows, and roof trims.

The Gallery New

• Gallery Build Improvements: We’ve made it easier than ever to grab rooms from the Gallery by placing a big ol’ button in the Saved Rooms sort. We’ve also re-arranged the tabs to be friendlier. They were pretty friendly before but now they are downright social.
• Gallery in CAS: We’ve integrated the Gallery into your Create a Sim experience in two ways.
  • The first is a Randomize button at the center bottom of the screen. Click the button to randomly pull in new Sims from the Gallery without leaving CAS!
  • Secondly, when creating new family members, you have the button right there to look for them in the Gallery.
• Objects resized using cheats now preserve their status when uploaded to the Gallery.
• Custom Content and Mods will no longer display by default in the Gallery. To see them, check the “Include Custom Content” flag in Advanced filters on the left.
  • Custom Content and Mods uploaded will now be automatically flagged as Custom Content.
  • You can also mark them as such to help your fellow community members better navigate this content.
• Want new neighbors? Simply click on an empty house next door and select “Move in Household From Gallery.” You’ll be taken to the Gallery where you can pick your new neighbors. Move in a great family or some total weirdo, then go visit them seconds later.

The Cheaty-Face New

• Have you satisfied your Sim today? Whims and Aspirations, both give satisfaction! And now, so does this cheat: sims.give_satisfaction_points #! Spend time working on whims and aspirations, OR just forget the whole thing and cheat your way to victory! (Don't forget to use testingcheats true first).
• Speaking of cheats, well, if these two release notes remain side by side, then this will totally make sense, but if they get re-ordered, then this is really going to be confusing, but let's assume they stay side by side. So, speaking of cheats, bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement is now available to immediately unlock all career rewards! (I tried to get them to add at least 20 more characters to the cheat title, careerrewardunlockgoodiesforfree, but the engineers were afraid we'd overflow a sock, or stack, or something like that).
• Set as Head cheat is now actually usable. This was a cheat we shipped with base game but required a Sim and Object ID, which oddly, is not accessible. This is now a shift click option on the object. Turn on testing cheats, select a Sim, shift click on an object and choose Set as Head. Have fun!
  • Hint: Sims will still use objects when oddly placed.
