In a galaxy far, far away, deep into the Outer Rim, the world of Batuu spins under its three suns, host to both the brave Resistance and nefarious First Order, with roguish scoundrels taking advantage of the chaos. How things unfold, though, is up to your Sims in The Sims™ 4 Star Wars™: Journey to Batuu Game Pack*, available on September 8!
Experience the Edge of the Galaxy
From the moment Sims arrive on Batuu, they’ll be surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells of Star Wars™. Majestic petrified trees rise high over the settlements and ships pass overhead, engines whining. Black Spire Outpost hums with activity as alien locals and busy droids go about their days. Vendors serve up Ronto Wraps and Fried Endorian Tip-Yip to hungry Niktos and Rodians. Curious Abednedos, Mirialans, and Twi’leks browse the wares at Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities. Sims might recognize a certain infamous ship, the Millennium Falcon™, or hope to escape the notice of patrolling stormtroopers. But once they arrive, they’ll never want to leave.
Earn a Reputation
The tension between the factions on Batuu is evident. Stormtroopers patrol the streets, searching for evidence of the hidden Resistance, and rebels carry out secret plans from their mysterious bunker. Even the smugglers operate a lucrative business, staying neutral to take advantage of both the Resistance and the First Order. So, which will your Sim join?
DJ R-3X, the droid in charge of the music at Oga’s Cantina, is the best point of contact for learning about the different factions. At first, missions will be simple, sending your Sim off to rifle through supply crates or chase rumors about the growing Resistance presence. As a result of completing a mission, Sims collect rewards—and earn reputation points with the associated faction. Increase your Sim’s reputation to rise through the ranks, from sympathizer or supporter to sergeant of the Resistance or First Order. If galactic credits motivate your Sim more than ideals, the scoundrels are always looking for assistance—that’s just good business.
As your Sim’s reputation grows, it also affects the way locals react to them. A Sim highly regarded by the First Order will find it difficult to chat with Resistance supporters. Climbing the chain of command by completing missions also begins to introduce new faction contacts. Depending on the choice your Sim makes, they might encounter Vi Moradi running a mission, Rey practicing with her lightsaber, Kylo Ren losing his temper, or Hondo Ohnaka cheating at a game of sabacc.
Acquire Artifacts and Treasures
It wouldn’t be Star Wars™ without lightsabers and droids. On Batuu, Sims can find parts for their own lightsabers! Take a trip to Savi’s Workshop to see a few of the hilt and kyber crystal options, or complete missions to earn rare pieces as rewards. Try different crystals until you find the one that is right, and once it’s done, start training! Practicing with a lightsaber or sparring with other Sims builds the Fitness skill, too.
Need a friend on Batuu? Why not a droid?! Just collect scrap metal from scrap piles around Batuu and earn enough galactic credits, then purchase a droid from the Droid Depot, where they offer both R- and BB-series astromech droids. Once Sims have customized their droid, give it a name and watch it go! Your Sim’s new buddy will follow them everywhere on Batuu. Plus, droids are helpful on missions. They can use their scanners and electro-prods to assist Sims by searching crates, scrambling control panels, or distracting rival faction members. These are the droids you’re looking for!
Bring It Home
When your Sim returns from Batuu, they won’t be coming back empty-handed. Enjoy Star Wars™ inspired updates in decor, home design, and even recipes. Whether Sims display the antiquities they collected on Batuu or revamp their style completely to imitate the dwellings of Black Spire Outpost, they don’t have to leave their Star Wars™ adventure behind. Invite neighbors over for a game of sabacc or a lightsaber sparring session whenever you like.
Plus, any droids ordered on Batuu return to the Sims world as well! Sure, droids might not go around zapping people in Willow Creek, but Sims can still build relationships with them and have fun driving them around with a datapad!

The Sims 4 Star Wars™: Journey to Batuu Game Pack
I’m plotting a course to uninstall The Sims 4 from my computer…
Still not sure if I should reinstall TS2 or TS3…
It’s so sad that we are getting this, and not long needed game improvements. Also, please give us a farming pack!
Lmfaoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
I have been playing sims 3 since the knitting pack, the best thing I’ve done haha the open world full unexpected is soooooo good! <3
I CANNOT WAIT
We can’t even live their WACK this seems like one play and done
may the force be with ah screw it
Nice
Omg you, girls, are so boring. You all like packs like “oh, let’s wash some clothes” “hey, lets make some knit”
Star wars it’s very cool! And this pack will add some drama to your sims lifes.
Right i dont even like starwars but this looks way more fun than some knitting pack or a laundry pack. That the community voted for. For some reason.
im gonna puke
This game pack is trash, the sims is officially ruined for me. I’m never playing it again
May the force be with the uninstall button!
I’ll wait for what comes after. I wonder if this pack got a higher budget than other packs because it’s star wars and Ea has been trying to merge the two franchises from the start with the free costumes. It wouldn’t be as frustrating if we weren’t missing several things I want in the game that would fit a game pack or a free update. I don’t see myself buying it but will watch let’s plays and game changer footage instead.
I can’t wait to play this. I love Star Wars.
YES!!! THAT WAS PERFECT!!! The Pack looks brilliantly made, with TONS of new features and it’s a breath of fresh air. I love Star Wars and this Pack is beyond anything I imagined it could be. I can’t wait to buy it.
…so, what are the “TONS of new features”?
Lmfao
I am actually really excited for this! The factions bring some of the most interest in how the systems will work. Will it be like get famous with reward trees, or will it have a new system? I also love the fully customizable droids. While it sucks we can’t meet more beloved characters, this pack could actually help my opinion of the newer movies❤️. If you don’t like it I respect your opinion, I am just really excited to see what they could implement. From the trailer it appears to be a ep worth of stuff from a gp price. This is be well worth it once they 50% sales come on with bundles.
