During yesterday’s Maxis Monthly Livestream The Sims Team has presented a brand new look and design language for The Sims 4. Although they’ve stated that a part of the reason why they’re switching up the brand design is to attract new players to the franchise, Lyndsay Pearson, General Manager for The Sims has also shared that this is a good signal that The Sims 4 is still alive and well and has years of content coming out.
The new look represents our commitment to the game, to The Sims, to you – our passionate players and that this game isn’t going anywhere. We love it and we’re excited about it and even approaching to our 5th anniversary we wanted to give it a chance to kind of have some new life and new energy.
I think it’s a good signal that we have a lot left to do with The Sims 4 and that The Sims is alive, well and healthy and more people are playing than ever and we get this great opportunity to give it a new paint job.
SimGuruFrost went on Twitter to also elaborate on the sudden new change of The Sims 4’s brand, saying that this is a great way to mark The Sims 4’s fifth year milestone. He also mentioned that this is a way to show The Sims Team’s commitment to supporting The Sims 4 for many more years!
The ongoing success of The Sims 4. We are in the fifth year of The Sims 4 and we think this is a great way to mark such an incredible milestone. It’s also a way to show our commitment to supporting The Sims 4 for many more years.

Although we can’t know for sure what’s coming down the line in the next few years it’s nice to know that The Sims 4 is still strong and has a lot more in store for us.
What we know so far is that we’re getting a Moschino Stuff Pack this summer, Realm of Magic Game Pack in Fall and an 8th Expansion Pack for The Sims 4 by the end of this year. Please note that Moschino SP and Realm of Magic GP have been officially confirmed by The Sims Team and should all come out by the end of September 2019 according to The Sims Team’s 6-month plan released in April.
Are we EVER going to get content for tiny home builds??? Like, oh, I dunno…smaller freaking stairs!!! I miss ladders and the spiral staircases so bad…
Me too… They were perfect for small homes!!!
Spiral stairs! Pool slides should be added to base game
Right, why haven’t they given us any new stair types in the five years that the game’s been out? They know we want it and stairs are just such a basic feature.
Omg, Yes! That would be awesome
All I want is moveable interactive infants .
RIP Sims 5
I guess they have to reassure fans that the Sims 4 isn’t going anywhere, given the history of the franchise so far (Sims 1 was around for 4 years, Sims 2 for 5 years and Sims 3 also for 5 years). It’s cool they’re breaking the cycle but I guess they have no choice given that some fan favorite packs still haven’t dropped yet (I’m looking at you, University )
I hope they release university this year. I heard that there releasing something at that time but….
There are a lot of things we lost in sims 4 from 3. Like the ability to choose hair root,top, and highlight colors. Horses were something I was severely disappointed didn’t come with pets. And I hope the fairies,witches, and werewolves are in the realm of magic but better looking and better skills. The teen wolf werewolves just didn’t do it for me. Better hair options I hope are coming and the ability to use a design tool on things in buymode.
Instead of new content, can they focus on eliminating some of the idiotic bugs and glitches with what’s already there?? I feel like I have to repair the game after every time I play because it starts messing up. Delayed response. Arms going through bodies. Faster and son standing in the same spot while looking at a baby. It’s getting annoying.
Father* not faster. MF autoC
I just wanted horses
The pubpic will never be satisfied but i would like the theif back. It brought excitement
the new design is probably gonna turn off more new players than attract them, the colour scheme they went with isn’t very appealing to look at and the loading screens in the game are even that colour so it’s not like you can avoid looking at it.
Mb they update old basic hairstyles? Stairs in game so stupid and need update too, bugs with items and sims, fix this? No? They just doing the kind of active work. EA team shame on you!
as long as there’s escalators in the near future that’s all I need. Along with a better communication system in which a conversation doesn’t end so quickly or dissolve before it even begins. I hate a Sim approaches my sim for a conversation and by the time they’re in range, it ends. Go To Work, need more of that too.
omg, or when sim is having conversation in the street , and random sim says hello and joins conversation, like really?
god i hate that so hard, you start a conversation with one person suddenly you’re talking to the whole bar
Can we please get the College Expansion pack back please. ?!? and this time add where you can pledge !!
When is cas story going to be on console!!???
since everyone is talking about feats they want in the game. can i have a dating app for my sims? like hi im ( Name)
( life stage) ( gender). looking for ( gender, lifestage). it can be off of the social media thing or by itself. idk im tired of flirting with NPC and finding out they’re married.
i know it’s a long shot but does anyone here know if the gallery will be added on console as well with this update?
I think they should add more content for infants and even elders… Elders really don’t have much to do in the game, I would like to see a lot more for elders such as those chairs that go up the stairs, wheelchairs and much more…. I hope they add more for babies too and kids, I think after school activities could be added to for example we could have music classes, dance classes, art classes etc. And lastly UNIVERSITY !!! Please give us university
They need a tween stage. Like the girls get their period. Of the boy’s voices cracking. Their first crush. Going to middle school.
We also need memories back. And university. And more options for infants that surpass what the sims 2 did.
Horses, please
I would love if they came out with a Sims 4 University and to also bring back the cars. That was so much fun in the previous sims!
I love the game, I wish they would include more of the Sim 3 feature in the build your own Sim.
