The Sims Team did a special preview of the upcoming update for The Sims 4 on PC / Mac making its way tomorrow (February 5th, 2019). The update will include plenty of big bug fixes (including the stinky leaf piles) and will also include a brand new batch of content – the Lunar New Year Clothing & Objects!

That’s right – The Sims 4 is getting on board and celebrating the 5th of February which is celebrated all across China. The year 2019 is marked as the Year of the Pig, which is the main reason why there’s now a golden pig statue being added to the game.

The team also gave a preview of some of the new Create A Sim items being added to the game. What’s interesting is that there’s at least one new CAS addition for each age, as seen down below!

As you’ve probably seen in the screen above, this content update will include new Citrus Trees Plants. Considering that they’ve already been put in pre-made planter boxes they probably won’t be harvestable in the game.

The update also comes with plenty of new indoor items, including some envelope clutter, golden pig statues, the Orange Tree decor and more.

Theere’s also an interesting decor object calles the “Sycee of the Prosperous Moon” that costs 120 Simoleons in Build Mode. Interestingly enough, this item (and probably other new Lunar Year Items as well) has been marked as an updated piece of content in the description.

Not bad actually. We haven’t got any Asian stuff since City Living I believe.

I hope new food updates are a regular thing. I like the addition of new recipes.

I hope this becomes a regular thing with some of the free updates since the game is played internationally and I feel that many players would enjoy having a more diverse game with different cultures getting some representation especially with clothing and foods. Although I am wondering what will be the next released DLC.
