During Maxis Monthly The Sims Team has shown off some of the new items that are coming to The Sims 4 Base Game on PC / Mac this Thursday, September 5th (with a later date expected for Console players).
The upcoming Content Update for The Sims 4, among the Configurable Stairs Feature that was shown off, will bring some new anniversary items as well as Middle Eastern and Muslim-inspired fashion and architecture!
Let’s break down some of the new items that they’ve shown off:
New Lounge Chairs!
New Gnome that lets you place small items and even a drink tray!
An End Table
New Planters that fit great next to each other!
A brand new Foundation!
Fences that light up during night time:
Directional Outdoor Lights
A New Dining Table with Plumbob Patterns (and some other presets as well)
New Chairs!
Middle Eastern and Muslim-inspired CAS items for Children and up!
Middle Eastern-inspired Build items and architecture!
Want to check out these items in action? Check out the livestream replay down below:
ooh headscarves <3
I love the nee Muslim and Arabic stuff though I wish they added stuff for other Middle Easterners to, like some Israeli/Jewish furniture and some Lebanese furniture would have been cool too
Can we trust the townie generator to be at all culturally sensitive with these items though? Sims 4’s townies get dressed in the dark.
Why did they put religion into Sims 4? Where are the kippas or cross necklaces?
because its a life simulator and it should be inclusive and include all cultures
There’s already menorahs and other religion based item in the game. Guess you just didn’t notice them?
@corrie nice name haha
Right? How convenient that they forgot about those items. Seems like OP only decided to care about inclusivity when Islam is mentioned lol.
Don’t we have Christmas items? And Hanukkah items?
Yup, we do! Tons of Christmas items especially. Muslims never got anything for Eid or Ramadan
There are? Ard they from a doc or somthing, I haven’t seen them before. What section should I look in, trying to make a cathedral and this would be helpful
DLC*
Well technically, hijabs originated from Christianity and lots of other religions use them. Christians can wear hijabs and not be Muslim lol.
Actually, they’re from before the 13th century B.C at least. Also, several cultures and religions since then have popularized it (Romans, Judaism, Persians, etc.) and I would guess it was Islamic influence that brought headscarfing to the Muslims.
to get everyone including the french to buy Sims
The arches and windows will be great for gothic cathedrals and stuff too!
Agreed. They look like they’d work well with RoM.
be cool to have the Sims look like they’re actually relaxing instead of looking so stiff like there’s something preventing them from really lazying about
same
Actually excited for this. Looks like EA let go of the death grip on Maxis this time and let them flourish with creativity. Thank you for the update!
This is suuuucccchhhh a good update those build mode items are ON POINT
I believe they mentioned that Summer’s outfit and Travis’s shirt will also be in the update.
Summer’s outfit is already in the game, and i think travis’ is too.
Love everything I see! And I am absolutely stoked about stair manipulation. That is going to come in so handy.
I’d also like to point out that the other kids appear to be wearing new clothes. The boy’s shirt looks new and the girl was seen wearing new leggings in another part of the live stream. And when showing off the Muslim kids’ clothes, Graham did show us the other kids outfits too..
This looks like a pretty update but also has some very useful items! I can’t wait to play with the stairs! 😀
*update with stairs comes out* TIME FOR AWESOME TREEHOUSES
Cool can we cook something relate to the area like Falafel, Shawarma or something?
Really awesome!
It’s sold in America and available in all other countries they should have their own version do you see France, or Italy or Russsia…didn’t think so…. what if you went to work and your American boss was wearing in full Muslim gear, and he’s not a Muslim, that’s what she means
