Spring into Party Mode: The Sims 4 Console Blog Post

via EA.com

The sun is out, birds are chirping, and temperatures are heating up – outside and in The Sims™ 4 on console! What better way to celebrate spring than with a party for the whole neighborhood? Sounds like a great idea, right? The kids are eating on the floor and making a mess, and one of them just threw a tantrum. The hired chef is running late, and guests are arriving in an hour. Nope, not stressful at all!

To make party-throwing a little easier on your parental Sims, we’ve compiled two lists of everything you need to throw the perfect block party bash. And with the The Sims 4 Backyard Stuff* and The Sims 4 Toddler Stuff* both releasing on May 22, 2018 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, there will be even more for families to enjoy! With all these awesome possibilities, your gathering will go off without a hitch. That is, until an adorable toddler needs an emergency bath!

Backyard Bash List

• A nice big lot: A big party will need lots of room for decorating.
• Vibrant potted plants: Brighten up the place with some spring blooms.
• Stereo: You’ll have everyone – even grandma – dancing with a great sound system.
• Lawn Water Slide: Cool off and let loose with this water slide. How many tricks will your Sims master? It might take a couple of nasty falls before you get there!
• Outdoor Grill: It’s not a party without hot dogs, hamburgers, and veggie burgers.
• Bird feeder: Treat your feathered friends, too. This is a neighborhood party, after all!
• Custom Fountain: There are lots of ways to create a fountain that’ll make your guests feel fancy.
• Relaxed hairstyles: Okay, this isn’t exactly a party item, but your Sims can definitely let their hair down while sipping on iced tea.

Family Party List a.k.a. The “You Got This” List

• Adorable toddler outfits – Your Sims’ little ones will be ready to play in style with stripes, prints, overalls, butterfly-winged tees, and rainbow moccasins!
• Cute kid hairstyles – From cut and coifed to wild and unruly, choose a hairstyle to match toddlers’ personalities.
• Playground slide and crawling tunnels – What kids won’t want to scoot down the slide or scamper through colorful tunnels?
• Ball pit – Tiny Sims can hop into fun with this classic party hit.
• Decorative lights – Set the scene for a night under the stars.
• Play space decorations – Create an awesome area for kids with bright rugs, pillows, and toys.

Kick back with a glass of lemonade (or some nectar) and get in the spirit of spring when you invite your Sims’ friends, families, and neighbors to the ultimate party!
