This Sims 4 Event is set to begin on February 4th, and during the course of several weeks you’ll unlock new gameplay features and items for your game. These rewards will be tied directly to your EA Account, and your progress is cross-compatible between Desktop and Consoles if you’ve linked your accounts properly.

During the Behind The Sims Preview Event, we’ve gotten a complete rundown of all the new rewards, including:

THE SIMS 4 ONLINE EVENT Blast From The Past

Get Up! Alarm Clock

One of the new Gameplay Objects that bring useful function to The Sim 4 is the new Get Up! Alarm clock! You can set the time for the alarm to ring at any time of day to get your Sim up and ready for the day.

Surprise Birthday Cake

This iconic object was first introduced with The Sims 1: House Party Expansion Pack. Where an NPC Cake Dancer Sim would hide underneath the cake until given the interaction orders to perform a dance routine:

In The Sims 4’s upcoming limited time event, you’ll be able to perform a dance routine as your Sim steps down the stairs! Take a look at this video preview:

The object is multipurpose, meaning that you can entertain the guests, call Sims over for a celebration, or just choose to take a slice!

Bigger Gatherings Banquet Table

There’s a new Sims 4 Base Game Banquet Table that you can unlock with the upcoming Sims 4 Live Event! The object lets you serve a premade assortment of dishes, or you can choose to stock it with any recipe of your choice:

Non Gameplay Objects

It’s time to put the speculation to rest – the Retro Table and Wall Phones are purely decorative! Considering that all phone interactions in The Sims 4 are done through the User Interface, there hasn’t been implemented an interactive way of choosing phone socials. At least officially.

These objects include:

  • Retro-Deco Table Phone
  • Retro-Deco Wall Phone

If, however, you have The Sims 4 Life & Death Expansion Pack installed, you can set these items as Heirlooms!

The Sims 4’s February 4th Game Patch is also expected to bring over 70 new items and recolors to The Sims 4 Create A Sim and Build Mode!

SIMS 4 Free Items update

The Sims 4 Blast From The Past Limited Time Event is set to begin on February 4th, 2025!

The cake could be our first possibility to blow out candles and age up sims without baking a cake first. (or you can use the gallery of course)
