Everything that’s new in The Sims 4’s Latest Update
Today’s update brings a lot of new assets to the game. Primarily new swatches to existing base game objects and clothes but there are a few entirely new assets as well.
In addition to the CAS and Build/Buy additions, there is also a new Wedding Venue lot type. Oh, and did we forgot to mention the new relationship setting?
All swatches both new and old have been included so you can see the full number of options available now.
New Relationship Setting
There’s a new Relationship Setting option that you can choose when creating or editing a character in Create A Sim. The new Fiancé option allows you to immediately create a proposed relationship between the two characters that you created in CAS!
New Venue
The new wedding venue lot type can be assigned to any unowned lot and only requires a wedding arch to be functional.
New Music
The Sims 4 has added four new songs to the World Radio Station, making the radio station accessible to everyone who owns the Base Game.
There is also the Simlish version of the song “At Last” by Maiya Sikes now in the Romance Radio Station. You’ve probably heard it in the Reveal Trailer for My Wedding Stories!
Just wear the entire pride flag to your wedding. Go big or go home.
