The CurseForge Mod Manager now supports The Sims 4!
On November 14th, 2022, players could upload and download mods and custom content from the CurseForge Mods Hub. At the time, support for The Sims 4 was restricted to the Mods Hub website. Plans to bring The Sims 4 to the CurseForge Mod Manager app were scheduled for December 6th, 2022. Yep, that’s today! The Mod Manager app now supports The Sims 4 and you can download and maintain all your mods and CC directly within the app.
Welcome screen when opening the Mod Manager
For those who prefer the website, the Mods Hub website has also gotten a major facelift. It is now more visually appealing and easier to navigate.

Subscribe to The Sims Daily newspaper with this handy mod!
The Sims 4 has embraced the modern world in many ways, doing away with outdated technologies like landline telephones and newspaper deliveries. Many players miss these old-fashioned things from days gone by. Some wish for more old-timey things for their elders who are stuck in the past. Others just don’t want their Sims to be so reliant on cell phones and Wi-Fi, especially when playing Rags to Riches challenges or historical challenges. Well, Ravasheen has given these players what they want! Her Sims Daily newspaper mod for The Sims 4 will allow your Sims to read the paper again!
The Sims 4 newspaper mod is base game compatible but more options will be available to players depending on what packs they have installed.
The Sims 4 Newspaper Mod: How to Subscribe
It’s easy to subscribe to The Sims Daily with this Sims 4 newspaper mod. In Build/Buy, search for an object called New News Stand and place it on any lot. You can search for the item by name or just type RVSN in the search bar; searching for RVSN will bring up all of Ravasheen’s content that you have installed.
Once placed, click on the news stand in Live Mode. Purchase that day’s copy of the newspaper for $2 or sign up for a subscription for $1 a day. If you’re short on simoleons and want to read the paper every day, it’s better to subscribe at the discounted rate. Not only is it cheaper to subscribe, but it’s more convenient, too. Sims Daily subscribers get a copy of the paper in the mail every day at around 9am. No need to remember to swing by the news stand to grab that day’s paper; this Sims 4 newspaper mod delivers right to you every day!
Sims Daily subscribers will get a trait to show that they are currently subscribed to the Sims 4 newspaper. You can unsubscribe anytime by clicking on your mailbox or on a news stand.
Each newspaper is only good for one day. It expires the following day. You know your Sims 4 newspaper is old when it turns brown in colour. You can have up to 5 newspapers on your lot. After that, the newspaper will not be delivered until you clean up some of the old papers.
Newspaper Features
The Sims Daily has lots of useful features Sims can take advantage of. Many options that were only available on the cell phone or computer are now available through the newspaper. This makes the paper a great tool for Rags to Riches, Off-The-Grid, and Decades playthroughs!
Here’s the full list of what’s possible with The Sims Daily newspaper!
Find odd jobs/gigs
Post missing pet alerts
Read festival info – Gives info on the next upcoming festival
Clip coupons and get discounts
Read daily news, affirmations, and jokes – Provides Sims with Confident, Playful, and Focused moodlets!

Using The Sims 4 newspaper grants your Sims influence points and both the news stand and newspaper are functional off the grid!
Our Thoughts on The Sims 4 Newspaper Mod
We’re always impressed with Ravasheen’s work and her newspaper mod for The Sims 4 is no exception! She’s always thinking of ways to make the game easier and more intuitive for players to enjoy and she never disappoints; many of her mods pay special attention to the needs of off-the-grid and history players which is something the community needs more content for.
We love this blast from the past and found having a daily newspaper delivery so handy! We were able to do so many things with just one object and we didn’t have to click through a maze of phone apps to find them. Having the newspaper expire the next day and not getting deliveries if there are too many newspapers on the lot is a very nostalgic thing from past Sims games.
Something we would love to see added to this mod in the future is notifications with funny news clips, affirmations, and jokes in addition to the nice moodlets our Sims get. I totally volunteer to write some corny jokes for you, Ravasheen!
The Sims Daily News Stand and Newspaper is currently in early access for Ravasheen’s patrons. It goes public on December 17th, 2022. Click the button below to be taken to the download page!
The latest SDX drop includes a major bug fix and Dragon Age merch!
If you’ve opened up The Sims 4 today, you might have noticed we got another SDX drop, but what did we get with it? In usual fashion, The Sims social media channels and news blog were vague about the details but they did confirm a long awaited bug fix was included. The Dragon Age Facebook account also posted that there is new Dragon Age themed CAS assets in The Sims 4 to celebrate the upcoming release of the series’ latest title, Dragon Age: Dread Wolf.
Yep, another video game advertisement. Still, let’s dive into CAS and check out exactly what we got!
Sims 4 SDX Content: CAS Assets
Feminine T-Shirt Recolours
If it’s hard to find these shirts in CAS, that’s because they aren’t a new catalogue entry. They are added swatches to the Mass Effect rolled sleeve tee that we received in a previous SDX drop. There are a total of four new swatches themed around the Dragon Age series.
Masculine Tee
Like the feminine shirt, you’re going to have a hard time finding these if you’re looking for a new catalogue entry. The Sims 4 SDX drop added these designs as extra swatches for the base game graphic tee; the one with the skull face as the catalogue preview swatch. It comes in the same four swatches as the feminine tee with the same Dragon Age designs.
Unisex Tattoos
There are three new tattoo designs, also themed around Dragon Age. All three designs are different swatches for the same catalogue entry. They are for the left upper arm and can be applied to both masculine and feminine framed Sims.
Unisex Baseball Cap
There is also a Dragon Age themed baseball cap with the familiar sword and flame design on it. Just like the shirts, this Sims 4 SDX content is hidden as an extra swatch rather than a new catalogue entry. It’s a new swatch for the base game baseball cap.
Sims 4 SDX Bug Fix: No More Excessively Mean Sims
The fix to tone down excessively mean Sims was intended to be in the last base game update. At the last minute, The Sims Team announced that the fix would be delayed until December. Many players were understandably disappointed by this delay but they don’t have to wait any longer! Today’s SDX drop included a bug fix for this! Sims won’t be mean without a viable reason, such as having mean traits or being angry.
If this is the first you’re hearing about this bug, you can read more about it right here on our website!
As usual, we’ll continue to update this post if/when more content from today’s SDX drop is discovered!
There is always a debate when the topic of multiplayer in the Sims 4 comes up in conversation. While there are many Simmers that enjoy the single player world of The Sims 4, there are just as many that want to be able to tell stories with their friends. Luckily, with the Sims 4 Multiplayer Mod (S4MP), those Simmers are able to do just that. (As long as they play on PC/Mac)
There are many YouTube simmers that have been playing with S4MP. Check out their videos if you’re wondering how it works!
How does Sims 4 Multiplayer Work?
Requirements
2-12 Simmers each with their own computer
All computers require the same version installed
Same packs and kits installed (Can disable packs in launcher)
Same Custom Content and Mods installed
Preparation to Play Sims 4 Multiplayer
Start a new save or use an old save (On Host Computer)
After that, create or download the sims and move them onto a lot or residential lot
Pause the time. Save and exit.
Hosting a Sims 4 Multiplayer Game
Host needs to login to their S4MP launcher
Choose a save file and click Host
Room will be created and give room code to other Simmers
Joining a Sims 4 Multiplayer Mod Game
Login to the S4MP launcher
Enter the room code and choose Join Room
Game will synchronize between players
Start Game!
Lastly, load the save and enter the lot
If it was successful, each Simmer will receive a notification that the S4MP is working.
When everyone has joined, there will be a notification stating it.
Exiting the Game
It is recommended that the Host Saves then Exits. Then, everyone else exits.
For a video of how to start a Sims 4 Multiplayer game (From 2020).
Important Information
While playing the mod, it is only possible to play with Sims in the same household. Also, the both Sims being currently played need to travel together. Additional Sims can be left alone.
It is recommended that only the host saves the game.
LAN (Local Area Network) connections do not cost anything to the player meanwhile, anything through an Internet connection requires a subscription to the S4MP Patreon.
It is necessary that everyone playing the game has the same packs installed. To prevent issues, packs can be disabled from the S4MP launcher settings.
Mods and CC can be used with Sims 4 Multiplayer! Both Simmers need to have the same mods and cc installed otherwise there will be problems. Also, not all Script mods are compatible. Make sure to check or test before playing.
In fact, it is possible to communicate with other Simmers, type ctrl + shift+ c then type Chat [Your Message]. Only the other Simmers will be able to see the message.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Simmers can play in a save at once? Up to 12 players are able to connect at one time.
What version of The Sims 4 is required? All players must have the same version. But, this version must be The Sims 4 version 1.54 or newer.
What are the requirements of using Sims 4 Multiplayer Mod? Every Simmer needs to have their own computer. In addition, each Simmer needs to register for an account. Patrons get lifetime LAN support even after cancelling their Patreon membership.
What are the current limitations of S4MP? There are two major limitations that Sims 4 Multiplayer has currently. Build mode does not always work as expected and adding new Sims or pets to the lot “has not been tested”. This includes additions e.g. adoptions, giving birth, etc.)
Common Problems
Unable to interact with objects or Sims? Try allowing Sims 4 Multiplayer through firewalls. Also, check all VPNs to make sure they are connecting properly. Finally, mod conflicts can cause problems with S4MP. Check to make sure all mods are compatible with Sims 4 Multiplayer. Therefore, we recommend doing a 50/50 if the culprit is not evident at first. Remember, missing mods can also cause problems similar to these so make sure everyone playing has identical mod folders.
Temporary Fixes
Currently, there is a problem with Simmers’ travel screens being black. As a result, S4MP recommends that the host use Save As instead of Save to prevent it from happening.
When traveling, Simmers should go from Home to Point A and then back home without travelling to another destination immediately. Subsequently, doing this will help prevent the black screen error.
Installation
(From S4MP’s website)
The host must prepare a Sims 4 household with everyone’s sims to play with, meanwhile, everyone must enable Mods & Scripts➚, then save & exit their games.
Download and extract S4MP from the zip file, then launch it. If it’s not opening, make sure to run it as admin and exclude it from your antivirus.
Set the documents path in S4MP’s settings tab, by default:
Lumpinou’s mods strike again! This time, by adding memories to The Sims 4!
Once again, a modder has taken it upon themselves to add missing features to The Sims 4. Lumpinou is a well-known modder best known for their popular WooHoo Wellness mod but that is certainly not all they do! Their latest project is adding a memory system to The Sims 4! The Memory Panel mod is designed to make special moments in your Sims’ lives matter more, complete with moodlets!
Released✨Memory Panel: A Memory System mod!✨
Early Access – goes Public on Dec. 1st
Side note I overworked my hands again but what can we do *sad laugh*
Lumpinou explains on their blog that with this mod installed, Sims will automatically retain memories for important moments in their lives as they happen. You’ll know when your Sim has acquired a new memory by a special effect that appears on your Sim, as well as a moodlet.
You can then open your Sim’s memory profile to see all their memories. Some memories related to relationships may be clickable to show the Sim with which your Sim experienced that memory with. The mod is smart enough to make distinctions between a first-time memory and a repeated memory. Your Sims may not feel the same way about a certain event the second time around. For example, Sims may have different reactions to giving birth the first time versus a second or third time. They may also feel differently about getting fired multiple times or being cheated on multiple times.
Lumpinou has also added some extra features to The Sims 4 memory system mod, such as being able to ask Sims about their memories and multiple cheat options to add/remove memories. Sims will also gain a special relationship bit with the Sim they have their first WooHoo with. What’s even better? Upon first installing the mod, it will retroactively add memories to all your current Sims!
Currently, there are over 60 different types of memories Sims can acquire. Some memories are designed to work with other mods of Lumpinou’s.
Acquired a Business Adopted a Pet Became a Widow(er) Became an Occult Became President Became a Vampire Became a Spellcaster Became a Werewolf Befriended a Dolphin Befriended a Talking Toilet Made a Best Friend Carried a Baby for Another Licensed a Song Gave Birth Got Kicked Out by Parents Joined a Religion Lost Custody of Children Won Custody of Children Published a Video Game Mastered a Musical Instrument Went Scuba Diving Summited a Mountain Turned a Sim into a Vampire Reached the Top of a Career Won a Gaming Competition Won a Starlight Accolade Lost a Best Friend (ie, they died) Born in [insert world] Came Out Cheated on a Partner Child Taken by Social Services Cured of Vampirism Death of Child Death of Parent Death of Pet Death of Sibling Degree in [degree] Dropped out of High School Dropped Out of University Found a Fated Mate Gave birth to an Alien Baby Got a Job Got Fired Had a Committed Relationship Had a Fight Had a Permanent Separation Had a Wedding Ceremony Had an Abortion Had Children Had Grandchildren Had great Reputation Had terrible reputation Hero of Strangerville Kissed someone Moved to another “world” Parents Separated Published a book Saw a strange creature in space Sold a masterpiece Took gender-affirming steps Took Vacation to Another World Visited Sylvan Glade / Forgotten Grotto / Deep Woods Was abducted by aliens Was cheated on Was Spared by the Reaper / Nearly Died Was World Famous Won the Lottery WooHoo’d in Space Woohoo’d with someone
Lumpinou says they plan to add new features to the mod over time, like more memories, larger impacts for memories, more social interactions, and even Social Bunny posts! They also say that the mod can be integrated with other mods.
As for making memories chronological, Lumpinou says it’s something they would like to do and are actively working on but this is a tricky endeavour and may not be possible, so they can’t guarantee this will happen as of right now.
Currently, The Memory System Mod is in early access for Lumpinou’s patrons but will be made freely available to everyone on December 1st, 2022. You can visit Lumpinou’s patreon if you are interested in becoming a patron and receiving early access to this mod.
Gnomes can’t communicate with Sims, so to appease them, we’ve written a Sims 4 Gnome Appeasement Guide.
Every Harvestfest, the friendly neighborhood garden Sims 4 Gnomes come to visit each Sim family. But what do they ask for? But only a simple gift in exchange for seeds. The problem is… they don’t tell you want they want. So how do you appease gnomes in the Sims 4?
Fear not! Now you can appease every Sims 4 Gnome during each yearly Gnome Appeasement Ceremony using this Sims 4 Gnome Guide! Save them for your garden or sell them for a profit.
There’s No Place Like Gnome – The Sims 4 Gnome Homebody
Just click your heels together and say, “There’s no gift like Coffee, Fruitcake, and Future Cubes!” Or at least that’s what the “There’s No Place Like Gnome” garden gnome is doing every Harvestfest.
Happy Gnome Garden Pal – Everyone’s BFF Gnome
Everyone’s friend, the Happy Gnome Garden Pal has chosen your Sim’s house this Harvestfest. During the Gnome Appeasement Ceremony, he enjoys coffee, fruitcake, or a future cube. Unless you don’t want to be friends, then give him something else.
No Matter What, I’m Still Your Baby – Babyface Sims 4 Gnome
Don’t let the name fool you, No Matter What, I’m Still Your Baby Gnome has officially become an adult Gnome and is excited to visit one lucky Sim this Harvestfest. If your Sim is that lucky Sim, make sure to offer him coffee, fruitcake, or a future cube.
The Ghastly Ghostly Gnome – The Scariest Sims 4 Gnome
The Ghost gnome, aka The Ghastly Ghostly Gnome loves Harvestfest so much that he continue to participate after his death. He asks for offerings of coffee, fruitcake, or a future cube, but it’s still up to debate how he uses any of them.
Poolside Gnome and Bare Essentials Gnome
This unlikely pair were caught hanging out at their favorite pool. Don’t fret! They’re getting ready for the big day and are hoping you remember what each of them want!
Make sure to give the Poolside Gnome coffee, pie, or a toy and Bare Essentials Gnome pie, salad, or a toy!
Strictly Business Gnome – Sims 4 Gnome With Totally Legit Business
Like any good business gnome, Strictly Business Gnome starts his day off with coffee. So it’s not surprising that he likes the gift of coffee. But what might surprise you is that he has a soft spot for pies and toys.
Happy Gnomeiversary
Pink and Purple Floor Balloons are made by Ravasheen and can be found here.
From San Myshuno to Henford on Bagley, if there is a party, the Happy Gnomeiversary Gnome will be there. This party Gnome would never miss the celebration of Harvestfest and the Gnome Appeasement Ceremony. So he’s preparing early and sending his offering list which includes coffee, future cube, or a toy.
Guardian of the Gnomelaxy
Coming straight from his trip to Sixam, the Guardian of the Gnomelaxy Gnome is tired and in need of coffee. But, this alien gnome would also settle for a Future Cube or just a toy to destress with.
Mr. Floppy the Gnome
Mr. Floppy the Gnome always feels a tad bit out of place on Harvestfest, but in true Sim fashion, this Gnome is included and accepted no matter their holiday origin. Want to know a secret? This Gnome really appreciates pie, salad, or a toy during the Gnome Appeasement Ceremony.
Don’t Fear the Reagnomper
Some Gnomes were concerned when Don’t Fear the Reagnomper started dressing like the Grim Reaper, but now that they’ve met the real Grim, they realize that they’re quite harmless. And a great dancer, too!
Don’t Fear the Reagnomper is hoping someone will give them a pie, a healthy salad, or a toy.
Herb the Posy Protector
Herb the Posy Protector spends all year protecting posies so we’re lucky he’s taken time out of his schedule to participate in the Harvestfest’s Gnome Appeasement Ceremony. Maybe if we give him a pie, salad, or toy, he’ll stay a while and tend to our posies.
The Gnome Wolf
Living alone for a while, the Gnome Wolf is accustom to solitude. But every Harvestfest, he crawls out of his cave and visits one lucky Sim. So to repay him, make sure to give him a pie, salad, or a toy!
The Sweetest Little Gnome
The Sweetest Little Gnome missed last Harvestfest due to the rescheduling of a Camping Trip. Although, Harvestfest is important, nothing is more important than roasting S’mores over a campfire to The Sweetest Little Gnome. But don’t be concerned, this Gnome won’t miss two Harvestfests in a row! So prepare your offering of pie, salad, or a toy early in anticipation.
Sims 4 Gnomes That Don’t Celebrate Harvestfest
There are a few gnomes that like to hang out at home, put up their feet, and watch a few episodes of the newest Gnomemance Show each Harvestfest. So don’t think we’ve forgotten these important Sims 4 Gnomes!
“Onward” The Adventurous Gnome
Bearly Gnome
Upside Down Gnome Decor

Can these free spirits really throw away the trappings of modern life and live off the grid?
Welcome to our twelfth official Sims 4 Story Starter Kit! If you missed all the info on Story Starter Kits, you can read more about what they are and how they work in our introductory article!
This month, we’re bringing you a married couple who’ve recently made a huge lifestyle change. They’ve cast aside all their modern comforts and poured all their savings into living a completely self sustainable life but how long will last?
Story Starter Kit: Nature’s Balance
Sims 4 Story Starter Kit: Nature’s Balance
Addison and Hannah met each other in college and hit it off right away; they were both passionate about the environment and living sustainably and they shared the same dream of getting away from modern life and living a simple life in harmony with nature. They were completely in love but sometimes, love just isn’t enough. Life pulled them in different directions after graduation. Hannah wound up as a hostess at a chain restaurant with very little opportunity for advancement. Addison got a job as a receptionist at a dental office. As it turns out, college degrees don’t get you much of anywhere these days.
When Hannah came in for a tooth cleaning and saw Addison again, it reignited both their romance and their zest for life that the world had sucked out of them. They knew they couldn’t ever let anything come between them again. They got married and poured all their life savings into building their own home from the ground up on a remote island in Windenburg. Their new home was not connected to the power grid. No electricity. No running water. And the closest shops were a boat ride away on the mainland. They would be providing for themselves; growing and catching their own food, gathering their own water, and reading by candlelight. They wanted to go back in time. It was their dream come true… but will it stay their dream or become a nightmare?
Neither Addison or Hannah have any experience living off the grid. They’re both city slickers. Sure, they’re good at gardening and cooking and Addison knows how to use a hammer but that doesn’t necessarily make someone self-sufficient. Their home is also tiny and Hannah and Addison have very different housekeeping habits. Will Addison’s messiness drive neat-freak Hannah up the wall? And what about the future? Addison dreams of adopting a bunch of kids and raising a big happy family someday soon once they get used to life out here but where will they put all those kids? And the adoption agency might take issue with their off the grid lifestyle. Hannah’s not sure Addison’s thought about all those obstacles.
Love wasn’t enough to keep them together the first time… but it HAS to be enough the second time around. Right?
This Story Starter Kit household should be able to purchase their lot with their default starting funds. Make sure you import the family into CAS, then move them in. If you move them into a home straight from the Gallery, they will not have the funds I set for them.
Are you tired of the rat race? Do you long for a simpler life without the day-to-day distractions of wi-fi and cable and traffic? Do you wish to be self-sufficient? This home is for you! This small, modest, but charming and cozy single level home is not connected to the power grid. It has everything Sims need to provide for themselves. A pond for fishing and gathering water, garden planters to grow your own food, an ice box for food storage, and plumbing and appliances that do not require power.

Did you know there’s a Sims 4 Off the Grid base game lot challenge? This lot challenge forces your Sims to live completely without electricity or plumbing! Living off the grid can be a fun challenge for players but it’s not exactly obvious how to make the most of this lifestyle. There’s no in-game tutorial to walk you through this particular lot challenge, so we’re going to explain how it all works!

Living Off the Grid in The Sims 4
Enable the Lot Challenge
The Sims 4 Off the Grid Lot Challenge
In order to start living a Sims 4 off the grid lifestyle, you’ll first need to enable this lot challenge. In Build/Buy, open the lot info section in the top left corner and click on the silver trophy to see available lot challenges. Then select Off the Grid from the list.
When you re-enter Live Mode with this lot challenge active, you’ll receive a notification informing you that your household has been disconnected from the power grid. Objects that use electricity won’t work anymore. Your Sims will have to find ways to live without electricity. This might feel like a daunting task at first but once you figure out a daily routine, it becomes easier to live an off the grid lifestyle.
Allowed and Disallowed Objects
Look in the Off the Grid Section for allowed objects
Once you’ve disconnected your household from the power grid, you’ll need to make significant changes to your home. None of your lights, appliances, electronics, or plumbing will be functional. You need to swap them out for different versions of these items that are compatible with the off the grid lot challenge.
How do you know which objects are functional off the grid in The Sims 4? Build/Buy has an Off the Grid section! This section of the catalogue contains objects from the lights, plumbing, and appliances categories that are functional with this lot challenge active. They include items like candles, wood-burning stoves, pantries, and ice box fridges.
Any objects purchased from this section do not require electricity or plumbing and can be used on lots that are not connected to the power grid.
Daily Life
Just because you own Sims 4 Off the Grid friendly objects, that doesn’t always mean they will function exactly the same way as objects powered by electricity. Some objects have limited functionality. Others require your Sims to maintain them properly.
Fridges need to be restocked with ice daily
For example, off the grid fridges in The Sims 4 won’t keep anything cool unless your Sims make sure the ice box is restocked regularly. Click on your fridge and hover over the Add Ice option to see how much ice is still available. If it’s running low, add more ice to the fridge. Food kept in off the grid fridges that have run out of ice will spoil at the same rate as if they were sitting on a counter. A fridge fully stocked with ice lasts about 24 hours so make sure to check the fridge every day.
A Sim cooking with an off-the-grid stove
Cooking off the grid is a new challenge, too. While Sims can use certain off the grid grills and stoves to cook without electricity, some recipes won’t be available. Apparently, The Sims Team thinks people didn’t bake anything in ovens before we harnessed the power of electricity, so recipes that require the oven portion of your stove cannot be made. We guess bread and cakes didn’t exist before 1879…

Conserving and Gathering Water
Food storage and cooking aren’t the only lifestyle changes while living off the grid in The Sims 4. They’ll need to consciously conserve water, too. Some sinks and baths have limited functionality. Sims are restricted to quickly washing their hands and taking quick and tepid baths. These quick, tepid baths don’t get your Sims fully clean and can leave them with uncomfortable moodlets. Some Sims may get positive moodlets from conserving water, too. If your Sims want a full, proper bath, they will have to gather water themselves.
A Sim gathering water
Sims can gather water from any natural body of water. Ponds, rivers, and lakes can all have water collected from them. Click on any of these water sources to collect water. Collecting water gives the household 5 units of water. Collected water can then be used for bathing.
Sims 4 Off the Grid: Eco Lifestyle Enhancements
These objects from Eco Lifestyle can allow your Sims to live off the grid more comfortably
Playing off-the-grid with the base game means your Sims will be living a very rugged lifestyle. This can be plenty of fun but for players who don’t want to sacrifice modern comforts, Eco Lifestyle can help. This expansion allows Sims to produce their own power through green technologies like solar panels, wind turbines, and dew collectors. For Sims who just want to save money and don’t care about their eco footprint, there are also gas-powered generators. These generators can also be powered by bio-fuel from insect farms to be eco-friendly. Multiple eco upgrades can be given to plumbing and appliances to make them eco-friendly, too.
Having green technologies or generators to power your home will allow Sims to use electricity and plumbing off the grid. As long as the power they use does not exceed what they generate, they can live like they’re on-the-grid. If they generate more power than they use, they can make money by selling it back to the power company.
Why Live Off The Grid in The Sims 4?
Living off the grid in The Sims 4 seems like a lot of work. And it is. So why do it? Well, there are big benefits to living off the grid. The biggest benefit is it’s cost-effective. You’ll greatly reduce your bills if you don’t consume any water or electricity. You can keep track of your bills breakdown by clicking on the mailbox. You’ll see exactly how much power you’re producing vs. consuming. Your Sims won’t pay anything for power off-the-grid. They will only pay for their property value.
Bills and Utilities Breakdown
It’s also just a good challenge, especially when you’re not playing with Eco Lifestyle. Not having green tech available forces your Sims to live a very rough, outdoorsy lifestyle. This can be a great change of pace from the predictability of everyday life in The Sims.
Lastly, it’s great for history saves! Simmers who enjoy playing the History Challenge or the Decades Challenge will love this lot challenge! It helps their Sims live lives that are more authentic to earlier time periods.

The Sims 4 has multiple features and updates that are actively in development. Find out what to expect more of in the future!
We’re wrapping up 2022 with plenty of memories, updates, pack releases and bug frustrations. The Sims 4 had become free for all with more ambitious plans down the line for the entire Sims Franchise.
Throughout this year there’s been plenty of updates for The Sims 4 that either continued previous work or sparked the upcoming. Today, we’re focusing specifically on big updates for The Sims 4 that we should expect more of in the near (or distant) future. After all, there’s still years of content planned for this game!
Since 2020 The Sims Team switched things up with the way they start releasing content. We’ve had the release of Kits in March 2020, a bit of a different release schedule and quarter teasers, no Stuff Packs…
Seriously though, it’s been 2 years almost since Paranormal Stuff!
…and big updates for The Sims 4 that are just never really over! Including:
NPC Overhaul
Scenarios
Likes & Dislikes
Wants and Fears
Sexual Orientation
Neighborhood Stories
Some of the features listed above are currently being actively worked on by Maxis. Some have potential to be continued, while the future is unknown for Scenarios and Neighborhood Stories.
Either way, this is a list of features for The Sims 4 that are speculated to be continued with future development. Some being officially confirmed by The Sims Team!
We’ll be updating this list as the future evolves with confirmed and speculative information. Stay tuned!
Sexual Orientation Features in The Sims 4
In July 2022 The Sims 4 received a huge Base Game Update that covered many new features and improvements. Curved Walls, Wants and Fears, Body Hair and Sexual Orientation were just some of the highlights!
Speaking of, Sexual Orientation was one of the most important updates in The Sims Franchise history. Allowing players to, for the first time in forever, pick a sexual orientation for their Sims!
In the official F.A.Q. for the new feature, the developers shared that Sexual Orientation is considered a 1.0 version feature. Meaning that there are definitely plans to further improve and add new features for Sexual Orientation.
I want to again acknowledge that these topics are complex and full of nuance. We consider this a version 1.0, and are absolutely looking forward to seeing what further tools we might add to allow players to tell a broader range of stories.
One of the questions regarding the Sexual Orientation Update were the gender limitations. The Sexual Orientation feature in The Sims 4 currently only allows players to choose Men or Women for their romantic and WooHoo attraction. However, the team stated that they won’t stop there. Even if it means reworking someo of the 8-year old tech limitations of the game.
TS4 is 8 years old at this point, and reliant on systems that were originally architected with a gender binary in mind. In the intervening years, we’ve taken important steps such as Gender Customization, Pronouns and now Sexual Orientation. It’s a journey still in progress, with many more steps to go. Proper mechanical systems to fully support non binary Sims is another step in that journey.
With that being said, you can 100% expect more Sexual Orientation features in the future. Soon™, right?
Likes & Dislikes Sim Preferences
The first iteration of Likes & Dislikes CAS Preferences was introduced back in May 2021. With the release of Sims 4 Dream Home Decorator Game Pack!
The first version of Likes & Dislikes features 3 categories including Music, Color and Activity.
The Dream Home Decorator Game Pack brought in the Décor category, with the Fashion preference arriving a year later with High School Years.
There is still a vast majority of areas that Likes & Dislikes could improve upon. From a limited list of Activities to an entire category of Attractiveness with other Sims, which was already taken care of by modders.
The only statement we got from The Sims Team was in July 2021 when they said they want to add new music preferences and activities.
Will the likes & dislikes system be expanded in the future?
Well we saw a very positive reaction from the community when we added the new likes & dislikes in the base game last month but we definitely don’t want to stop there! We definitely want to add new music preferences & activities as time allows.
Unlike with future development of the Sexual Orientation feature, the future of Likes & Dislikes isn’t clear enough. Still, there’s a lot of potential for them to be expanded further with upcoming two Expansion Packs coming next year!
Neighborhood Stories
Neighborhood Stories is one of the features for The Sims 4 that so far had 2 major updates!
The first version of Neighborhood Stories came out in November 2021, with another major release in March 2022.
The first iteration unlocked Story Progression through interesting new text prompts from other Sims. Allowing you to make decisions for your Neighborhood and impact other Households that you know.
The second iteration of Neighborhood Stories from this year unlocked new ways to set the ground rules. Giving you options for Neighborhood Customization per each Household.
The types of stories you can pick that can happen outside of your input feel a bit…unfinished. There are 9 Neighborhood Story scenarios to choose from, with only one incorporating an aspect from a previously released Expansion Pack – Cats & Dogs. (Adopt Cats & Dogs)
It’s unknown for this feature if it’ll continue with future development. So far, there have been 2 big updates for The Sims 4 Neighborhood Stories.
Households Overhaul
One of the highly expected updates still to come for The Sims 4 is the Households Overhaul. Or NPC Overhaul which was called initially.
Either way, this Update was only released partially in May 2022 with the SDX Drop that revamped the Goths Household.
Considering there is more than just changes to visual appearances, it’s expected that this update will also incorporate better lore and pre-made settings and starting qualities for each Sim.
The Households Overhaul Update still doesn’t have an ETA. There are updates for Households from Base Game to Cottage Living (Henford-on-Bagley) that need to be done, which is 7 years worth of original stories, lore and visual appearances. We’re really excited for this one and can’t wait for patch day!
Customizable Pronouns for The Sims 4
This one is a bit more challenging than you would expect. Not because it’s hard to make the game adjust to a new way of addressing and customizing pronouns in-game. But because it’s difficult to localize and translate customizable pronouns for other languages that are not English.
There are many logistics that need to be solved outside of English language to ensure that Custom Pronouns are done right in the game. The first iteration of Customizable Pronouns for The Sims 4 is currently only available if you play the game in English Language.
As stated by The Sims Team, this is only the first iteration of this feature that should be updated over time. And released for other languages when the team progresses on the development!
This first update for customizable pronouns to be supported in English is a step in the direction of a more inclusive experience for Simmers, and I’m excited to see how we’ll be able to evolve the game and feature over time to support more languages. While this update isnt the be-all end-all of representation of nonbinary and other gender diverse folks, we strongly feel that it’s important for us to approach better inclusivity over time as we figure out ways to work within the limitations of our code.
There is an interesting interview with one of The Sims 4’s developers that sheds light on the challenges Maxis has to overcome in order to localize this feature for other languages. Check it out!
With that being said, features like Pronouns, Sexual Orientation and even stepping outside of the current binary gender options are all in development by Maxis at the time of writing this article.
Scenarios
This feature is possibly among the top updated ones for The Sims 4! In just more than a year, The Sims 4 Scenarios feature has gotten several updates and improvements. From upgrading rewards and gameplay mechanics to expanding the selection of Scenarios.
The initial version of Sims 4 Scenarios worked more or less like walkthrough tutorials of the game. Over time this feature unlocked more ways to start a scenario, better and more challenging goals. Best thing though?
It seems that limited-time scenarios are becoming less frequent. We’re not sure why they were even a thing to begin with.
There is no clear statement about the future of Sims 4 Scenarios after so many updates to it. Still, it won’t come as a surprise if they’re among the Sims 4 features that’ll get seasonal updates.
The community still has high hopes in this feature. In our Sims 4 Scenarios Community Poll, the top voted options clearly show that there is room for improvement. And that those improvements will be more than welcomed!
Wants and Fears
Compared to previous features listed here, the Wants and Fears feature for The Sims 4 first and foremost needs a fine tuning. Players are reporting that the “Fear of Dead End Job” and some other ones are popping up more randomly and ocassionally than it normally should.
Other than that, the announcement and release of this feature was met with high hopes – and high critics. When this feature came out in July 2022 with the release of the High School Years, it was expected that the feature would be more inclusive than what we actually got.
The current system of Wants and Fears only includes Base Game and High School Years wants and fears. This successor feature to The Sims 2 only covers specific Wants and Fears from mentioned games. Meanwhile, the entirety of previous gameplay content from Expansion, Game and Stuff Packs has been skipped out.
Maxis confirmed that this decision was made due to the time they had developing the feature and Expansion Pack. The team is only considering adding new Wants and Fears through future Packs and Updates. Disregarding the catalogue of 10 Expansion Packs, 12 Game Packs and Stuff Packs where pack-specific Wants and Fears would certainly make sense in the game.
While creating High School Years we focused on that pack and adding previous base game content with the time we had.
Future packs and updates could add more where it makes sense.
It’s uncertain if Wants and Fears will ever get retroactive content related to previous Sims Packs post-HSY. However, you should still expect more from them with future Pack releases and Updates.
