THE SIMS 4 PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP INFO LEAK

Twitter user @SimmerTiago has found a Sims 4 Premium logo in a FNAC store in France. The golden plumbob icon was pulled from the December Careers Update string files, along with four strings of text:

Congratulations, you are now a Premium Member!

We’ll notify you when new items become available.

New items are available in your game!

To find your items, look for the gold flag icon in Create A Sim or Build Mode.

All we know is that The Sims 4 Premium Membership appears to be a paid service that automatically downloads new items to your game without any additional cost. We do not know if this includes all or any expansion and/or game pack content; it could be that there are unique “Premium Objects” that only members have access to.

As always, we’ll post as soon as we get more information!

LET’S PLAY THE SIMS 4: DECEMBER CAREERS UPDATE | EPISODE #2

♦ In our second Let’s Play, Kirk struggles to attract the shiny-lipped (and unfortunately married) Bella Goth, while Pandora pursues Nina Caliente in an attempt to meet her more attractive sister. Panda’s charm works a little too well on Nina, who agrees to a sleepover. Meanwhile, Kirk realizes that Bella’s family is an obstacle that he must murder…I mean…overcome, to win her heart. Can Kirk seduce Bella without destroying her family? Will Nina ever leave the sleepover? Find out (in 1080p this time!)

♦ Submit your favorite Sims and we’ll fill our game with YOUR creations…Panda and Kirk can’t wait to meet their new neighbors!

NOTE: We fixed the audio and resolution problems! Episode 3 won’t have muffled voices or those annoying black bars on the sides of the gameplay footage. We are continuing to learn and improve, so if you have any other suggestions, advice, or comments, PLEASE do not hesitate to shoot us a message!

We hope you enjoy!

THE SIMS 4 OUTDOOR RETREAT: KOTAKU’S Q&A WITH EA

Sat, 20 Dec 2014 10:56:01 -0500

Kotaku: You mention that that the game pack will add "new gameplay features" into the mix, but it sounds like most of the additions specified are specific assets/bits of content—outdoor cooking and costumes. Are you adding new activities that Sims can participate in as well?

EA: Yes, we have some really great new things for Sims to do. Sims can partake in new group activities like the campfire and horseshoes, try their hand at mastering potions with the new herbalism skill, wander through the wilderness, collect all new plants, insects and use them to create herbal remedies and new cooking recipes.

Kotaku: What sort of destination/area is granite falls, exactly? is it a new public lot? will sims be able to set up houses there, or anything like that? can you build buildings there, regardless of what sims (if any) live there, or is it more wilderness focused? will you be able to mess around with any of the geographic features in build mode at all?

EA: Granite Falls is a brand new destination in The Sims 4. When you arrive you'll be in a Campground neighborhood where your Sims can set-up camp among the trees or rent a fully furnished cabin. Your Sims will only have what they bring with them – any additional supplies they'll need they'll have to purchase at the Ranger Station – but players may edit the Campground lots through Manage Worlds and build whatever they like on them. The second neighborhood in Granite Falls is Granite Falls National Park, which is a lush forest full of plants, insects, and scenic vistas to discover and explore. There are rumors of a mysterious hermit who lives high up in the mountains, but no one knows quite where…

Kotaku: Previously, I tended to think of The Sims as the kind of series that did post-release expansions and stuff like that. What is the difference between a "game pack" and an "expansion," exactly?

EA: A Game Pack is an entirely new product line for The Sims franchise. A Game Pack will allow you to add a uniquely themed experience to your game filled with new gameplay possibilities, introducing something new for you to do with your Sims. Play with new objects that offer all-new interactions and a variety of new clothing, hairstyles, furnishings and décor! For players who are familiar with our add-on content from previous iterations of The Sims: think of The Sims 4 Game Packs as a new product line that seats somewhere between Stuff Packs and Expansions.

Kotaku: On a related note, will The Sims 4 get expansions as well in the future, or do you see game packs making up most/all of the post-release stuff?

EA: We want to provide our players with options and provide as many new gameplay experiences as possible. As The Sims 4 has been created to be a live service, free game updates will continue to release on a timely basis. Additional paid content packs are in pre-production and we'll be sharing those in the future.

Singing/Music Lessons Coming to The Sims 4?

Fri, 19 Dec 2014 21:14:00 -0500

Krizia Bajos, a voice actor for TS4, has published several Vines of her singing in Simlish in the recording studio. The quality of the singing varies dramatically, and several captions suggest that Sims can improve over time:

“Insecure #SIM… Poor thing needs some #singing lessons”

#Sim is getting better, my friends! I think a couple more lessons should cut it

“Ok, I think the lessons worked- this #sim can sing!”

It looks like we’ll be seeing some sort of singing skill and karaoke object in a future expansion or game pack.

The Sims 4 Outdoor Retreat Official Announcement

Fri, 19 Dec 2014 11:10:00 -0500

Here’s an article by Graham Nardone about the upcoming Outdoor Retreat Game Pack!

I have been working with members of The Sims 4 team on something fun. I am excited to share it with you all, as I know it’s going to allow you to tell even more unique and wonderful stories with your Sims.

Two words. Game Pack. What is a Game Pack you ask? Game Packs are unique to The Sims 4. Our first Game Pack - The Sims 4 Outdoor Retreat - will be coming out in January 2015, but before we talk about that, let’s talk about what a Game Pack is.

About nine years ago, during The Sims 2 days, we introduced Stuff Packs to The Sims franchise to change up the way you could customize your Sim stories. Stuff Packs were focused on a specific theme and included clothing, hairstyles, furniture and décor.

For The Sims 4, we wanted to continue that tradition while giving you even MORE opportunities to craft the stories you want, since a Game Pack provides new gameplay features, new objects and new clothing based around one central theme. Being able to expand your gameplay through a Game Pack allows us to give you some of the things you’ve been asking for and it’s something we are really excited about.

So, what can you expect from the first Game Pack in early 2015? Well, you’re going to take your Sims to Granite Falls to visit and explore an all-new destination. The woods are packed with gameplay possibilities. Campfire songs, weenie roasts and bear costumes, oh my!

So there’s a little tasty news to chew on, keep an eye out for more!

Later, Simmers!

-SimGuru Grant

The Sims 4 Outdoor Retreat Game Pack will be available in January 2015 for $19.99. More information will be available in January!

lumialoversims:

If Sims 4 had proper age transitioning and height differences… :)

With a few mods, I think The Sims 4 could have this! We’ve already seen great mods for TS3 like Grow and Age by Consort of ModTheSims…all we need is a few talented community members who are willing to work on the project. I know I’d be forever grateful to anyone who could make the aging in TS4 feel more gradual and seamless. Get to work modders! :)

CAREER CONTENT UPDATE HAS DROPPED

To get the Update, login to your Origin account and launch The Sims 4.

The Update includes two Business Career Paths (Angel Investor and Business Tycoon), as well as two Athletic Career Paths (Hall of Famer and Mr. or Ms. Solar System).

There are also new objects, interactions, career reward rooms, and even advanced filters in The Gallery. Additionally, the Move Objects Cheat has been brought to TS4!

Though this is the last of the three announced content updates for The Sims 4, the base game will continue to be updated. Still, it is unlikely that we’ll continue to see many big, free content updates like this in the future.

Enjoy the new content! For much more specific info, check out the patch notes.

Is the new update coming out at midnight tonight or tomorrow during the day ?

Mon, 15 Dec 2014 20:39:36 -0500

It’ll likely drop during the day, if it comes tomorrow at all. The specific release time and date is never announced ahead of time.

BUSINESS CAREER RENDERS (UPDATED)

The Sims 4 has tweeted two renders with the captions, “Just another Monday at the office…” and “Who says cheerleaders don’t lift?”

They’re clearly hinting at the Business and Athletic career tracks coming in this week’s patch.

New career options and a variety of new objects are rumored to be arriving tomorrow in a third free content update, but the exact release date has not yet been confirmed. Check back tomorrow, but if it doesn’t drop then, it’ll arrive sometime this week.

Move Objects On Confirmed

Good news for The Sims 4. The latest career patch promo pic was a teaser for the sorely missed Move Objects On cheat. The “massive Careersmas patch" is expected next week baring any complications.

Do you know what careers are going to be added in the latest patch? I only read about two, is that it or are there more?

Thu, 11 Dec 2014 07:57:22 -0500

Only two have been confirmed so far, but there will be more than two.
