The Sims 4

 
Feeling "Blessed" to have @BeccaxHatch in the latest Sims Sessions! 🎶Mar 28, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsUpdate 3/24/2023Mar 27, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHi Simmers, Today’s update is releasing on PC/Mac platforms only. We are addressing an issue in The Sims™ 4 Growing Together Expansion Pack where Sims who lost a tooth were intermittently having their skin tone, hair style, and clothing changed. We are temporarily putting this feature in time out by disabling the ability for Sims to lose a tooth as we prepare a fix to the underlying issue. Keep an eye on @TheSimsDirect for updates on the return of this feature.We are working to release this update to PlayStation and Xbox platforms as quickly as possible. In the meantime, check the guidance shared on Answers HQ on how to avoid this issue until this update becomes available on those platforms. SimGuruGraham Bug Fixes Growing Together Losing a tooth will no longer intermittently cause the skin tone, hairstyle, and clothing of a Sim to be altered. Sims who were already in the process of losing a tooth at the time of this update may still experience this issue. The chance to lose a tooth will now end when a Child becomes a Teen. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1222670/The_Sims_4/ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38096876/20133338648e24caa100b1fa288a28ff0e493ab2.jpgA Life of Precious MomentsMar 16, 2023 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38096876/ff9c9f7bf84833c031e9288098d75f41be8e299d.png Experience more family dynamics, make friends or enemies, and discover your Sims’ truest selves with The Sims™ 4 Growing Together Expansion Pack! The ways your Sims relate to those around them – from family members to Sims they’ve just met – are evolving. Both planned events like sleepovers and unexpected milestones like having a midlife crisis will shape your Sims and their relationships. Family is at the center of a lot of the choices and milestones your Sim will be faced with. For example – will they let their parents move in with them? Saying ‘no’ will impact those relationships and saying ‘yes’ could make life at home a lot more complicated. What if your Sim’s parents don’t get along with their partner? For you, the choice might be whether you want to keep the peace or stir up some drama. New relationships are getting more dynamic too. If your Sim goes out to meet new people, they might find someone they instantly like who they could be friends with for life. Or they could meet a lifelong enemy. Social chemistry will make some Sims click and some Sims clash, and how they navigate these feelings is up to you. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1904392/The_Sims_4_Growing_Together_Expansion_Pack/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1222670/The_Sims_4/Infant Base Game update and bug fixesMar 14, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsToday is an exciting day; we’ve heard you, and it’s time to free the infants! Learn about what’s new in the Base Game, what you can expect from Growing Together, and some issues the team has dealt with. What’s New Infants are now in the game! With the free base game update, you’ll now be able to interact with your young Sims earlier than before and set them up for a lifetime of excitement. Once your family’s newborns age up into Infants (or if you decide to go the adoption route), they’ll have their own needs, emotions, and sentiments about their caretakers. If your Sim doesn’t want to adopt or want to (or can’t) go through a pregnancy, they now have a brand new option. Sims can have babies with the power of science! Sims can now ask others to use a mix of their genetic material to create new life or just do it themselves…as long as they’ve got the funds. Sims will spend less time as Newborns. This life stage will last only a few days before they age up into Infants. That doesn’t mean they haven’t gotten new stuff too! From the very beginning, Newborns are going to seem like more of the family with the addition of the range of skin tones other Sims have. They also will have the eye color they’ll have for life. There are some other changes to their appearance and movements that will really help Newborns feel like an active members of the household. Caregivers will no longer put them back into a bassinet between reactions, making caring for a Newborn feel more natural than before. Plus! Toddlers and Children will be able to interact with new family members by doing things like entertaining a Newborn in a bassinet with child-like behavior. With a new life stage comes new looks! Infants have their own clothing, hairstyles, accessories, and most excitingly: personality traits. Find these new options in Create a Sim! There is also the addition of new furniture, decor, toys, and more to help make those Infants feel at home and truly part of the family. You can find these new items in the kids’ section in Build mode. Once an Infant is crawling, they’re ready to go exploring. Keep them where they belong with the new baby-proofing option for doors. Sims can get kept out with door permissions, and now, Infants and Toddlers can get kept in. Child skills have gotten a few adjustments. Sims will gain some skills quicker now, and the things they learn as Children will now matter as they grow. Plus: UI Improvements! Don’t worry, there’s new stuff for your older Sims too. With this new update, there are new skin details in Create a Sim for Sims of all ages. Your Sims can now have birthmarks from birth. As they age, they can have stretch marks and C-Section scars. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38096876/5a91d1ff2a137c62d41d07a2e1c96d004c6b57d9.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38096876/b2c03fd17a8379b6748b62d587dfa711ecf99f54.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38096876/66be65af192da7d9fd98902f6c163a4122425615.png CAS has another great new feature: you can now decide whether or not a Sim can produce...Find More Ways to CreateMar 9, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsShop the sale and discover new experiences.

This free update will introduce an all-new life stage at long last, Infants, but Maxis has revealed that this isn’t all that’ll be included. Previous free updates to The Sims 4 finally saw players able to choose the sexual orientation and pronouns of their Sims. We also saw incest accidentally added to the game, too, but we won’t dwell on that. This time around, Maxis is striving to be even more inclusive by introducing further Create A Sim customisation options, including scars, birthmarks, and even caesarean scars. Revealed via a brand-new trailer, which also showcased what infants look like in Create A Sim, we can see that there are various body markings players can choose from.

Both kits will be available on all platforms as of January 19, and will spice up your Sims more intimate moments; whether that’s Woohooing or simply showering. The Simtimates Collection Kit doesn’t come as too much of a surprise, given that assets for the kit were accidentally leaked on the EA App just a few days ago. The Bathroom Clutter Kit, on the other hand, comes as a pleasant surprise to Simmers. The Sims teamed up with MeUndies to create the Simtimates Collection, creating a kit of “fun and flirty contemporary loungewear.” In a press release, EA and Maxis explain that, “it is important to both MeUndies and The Sims, that people, and Sims, feel confident and empowered in their bodies, and by extension, their clothes. Our items will look great on all shapes and sizes.” Read more Coming soon: two new kitsJan 17, 2023 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38096876/a418eb5f349a56988348622a6532bd18efd94446.jpg The Sims™ 4 Simtimates Collection Kit and The Sims™ 4 Bathroom Clutter Kit will arrive January 19 to help your Sims live more comfortable lives.

Latest The Sims 4 leak shows off new paid kit full of underwearJan 16, 2023 - VG247As first noted by Sims Community, it wouldn’t be a new Sims season without a leak, and they’re completely correct. Initially spotted by Reddit user u/nekokitty200, before later being picked up by Sims Community, leaks of an underwear-focused kit for The Sims 4 have emerged. Recently, EA revealed that the EA App had left its beta phase and would soon replace Origin. However, in a recent rebranding of the app, someone behind the scenes has accidentally leaked new images of the latest kit to come to The Sims 4. u/nekokitty200 noticed that the images on the EA App storefront had been replaced, and those for The Sims 4’s Modern Menswear Kit had been misplaced with images of a new, unseen before kit of intimates.

It’s a community that has thrived since conception, and one that Maxis rarely neglects.
