The Sims 4 Tiny Living: SimGuru Q&A

SimGuruNinja went on Twitter to talk more about The Sims 4 Tiny Living Stuff Pack releasing next week on PC/Mac.

He shared a few interesting facts regarding some of the new items and gameplay that revolve this pack, as well as shared some new screenshots of the items as well as the User Interface. We’ll make sure to update the post in case new tweets surface!

The Sims Team plans to improve some of the current Expansion and Game Packs for The Sims 4

The Sims Team has published one of the biggest, most important surveys for The Sims 4. The survey talks about a lot of things – from letting us rate our satisfaction with the latest update to talking about improvements we want to see in The Sims 4 Base Game and it’s potential upcoming paid content.

However, one of the most interesting questions that the survey has asked (at least in my opinion) is the question that asks Which previous EPs and GPs do we want to receive more polish and additional development.

The official survey listed all of the Expansion Packs and Game Packs that have been released to date – from Get to Work to Discover University (Expansion Packs) and from Outdoor Retreat to Realm of Magic (Game Packs).

Now, it’s no secret that the community has been asking for more polish and content to EPs and GPs that have already been released. For example, The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs Expansion Pack came with debug features that allow you to control Cats & Dogs firsthand. However, it can only be unlocked through a mod.

There’s also been plenty of feedback on the Island Living Expansion Pack just not having enough content to play with and that the pack is pretty to look at and useful for its new CAS / Build Items.

Also, don’t get me started on the cluttered User Interface that comes with The Sims 4 Discover University when your Sim enrolls to college with 2 classes or more…

These are just some of the things that The Sims 4’s current packs could improve upon.

The Sims Team probably won’t be able to upgrade and polish all of the Expansions and Game Packs that have been released which is why the survey lets you pick up to 3 Expansions and Game Packs which will help prioritize which packs deserve the most attention.

The Sims 4 January 2020 Community Survey is open right now so make sure you vote while you still can!

The Sims 4 Community Survey: January 2020

SimGuruFrost has revealed a new Community Survey for The Sims 4.

The survey takes around seven minutes to complete and has eleven questions in total.

Some of the questions in the survey look at how satisfied players are with the December Update, players interests in various relationship, gameplay, snow activities and more. There are also a handful of questions that look at which Expansion or Game Pack players would like to see a bit of extra polish and what kinds of improvements players would like to see when it comes to creating Sims that we want.

Of course, don’t forget about the popularity contest towards the end of the survey featuring some familiar names and some we haven’t seen for a while, as well as a question asking us which brands players would love to see The Sims collaborate with in the future.

This is one of the most in-depth Community Surveys we have had which covers a variety of different topics.

The survey won’t be live for long so make sure you take a look at it and let The Sims team know what you think!

Features we Love from The Sims 4 Tiny Living Trailer

The Sims released a new trailer today for the next stuff pack coming to the game, titled Tiny Living Stuff! This pack is themed around the wildly popular tiny home build craze in the community, giving tiny homes more integrated gameplay and depth.

And for those worried that the Gurus have discarded our Arts & Crafts vote in favour of this stuff pack, you have nothing to fear! Tiny Living Stuff is not the community voted pack. The community voted pack is still in development.

With that cleared up, let’s dive into everything we’ve seen from Tiny Living Stuff so far! Here are some features we noticed in the trailer that we’re living for! Pun intended!

New Lot Type

Features we Love from The Sims 4 Tiny Living Trailer

This stuff pack will be adding a new lot type to the game, called Tiny Home Residential. This lot type has several gameplay mechanics attached to it to make it an engaging experience for Sims who live on these lots.

  • Players can only build up to a maximum of 100 tiles on Tiny Home Residential lots. This will provide a fun challenge for builders and ensure that players are not building mansions on this new lot type, which would defeat the purpose of the lot type.
  • Tiny Home Residential lots have reduced bills! Frugal Sims are sure to see the benefits of living in a tiny home.
  • Tiny Home Residential lots provide increased relationship gain! Naturally, your Sims are going to be closer with their housemates in a tiny home because they’re physically close to them all the time. Family-Oriented Sims will find tiny living perfect for building and maintaining close family bonds.
  • Sims get a comfort bonus on Tiny Home Residential lots! Perfect for Lazy Sims or any Sim who finds large living spaces a stressful hassle.

Features we Love from The Sims 4 Tiny Living Trailer

Tiny homes built multiple stories high were also shown off in the trailer so it looks like we will be able to build multiple levels up just like regular homes as long as the total tile count does not exceed 100. No word yet on whether Tiny Living Stuff will be coming with ladders or spiral stairs. None were seen in the trailer.

New Compact Furniture

Features we Love from The Sims 4 Tiny Living Trailer

In addition to financial, social, and comfort perks from living in a tiny home, Sims will also have access to an array of new compact, multi-functional furnishings that will help them save space and turn their tiny home from cramped to cozy. Just a few of the new items shown off in the trailer are:

  • Some new one-tile furnishings like a desk and dresser, which the game was sorely lacking in before so those will be welcomed additions.
  • A new entertainment unit that looks like a three-in-one multi-functional item. It has a TV, a stereo, and a bookcase condensed into a two-tile object.
  • Murphy beds are coming to the game! The murphy bed shown off in the trailer comes with a fold-up loveseat and shelf that can be used when the bed is closed, making this another welcomed multi-purpose object.

New CAS Assets

Features we Love from The Sims 4 Tiny Living Trailer

A variety of new clothes and hairstyles were shown off in the trailer, themed around a cozy, comfortable theme. Thick fabrics and casual lounge wear provide the perfect threads to curl up with a hot drink and a good book in your new cozy little home. Bookworms and Loners are sure to appreciate their new comfy wardrobe.

Possible New Death Type?

While we did not actually see a death happen in the trailer, the addition of murphy beds has us suspecting a new death may come along with it. In previous Sims games, Sims could die from being crushed by a murphy bed. The trailer appears to hint at this; a masculine Sim can be seen getting crushed underneath the bed while trying to open it and a feminine Sim is seen later in the trailer getting trapped inside the bed when it closes while she’s sleeping in it.

@SimGuruNinja seems to confirm this suspicion in a tweet made earlier today while answering questions about the new stuff pack.

The Sims 4 Tiny Living: Official Blog Post

Earlier today, The Sims Team revealed the first pack of twenty-twenty with a brand new trailer and an official blog post which gives us an insight as to what is coming in this new Stuff Pack later this month!

via EA.com

Everyone knows tiny living is more than just a trend right now—it’s a movement. It’s ecological, less expensive, and infinitely cozier than living large, and it’s time for your Sims to celebrate this lifestyle in style. That’s why we’re introducing the amazing The Sims™ 4 Tiny Living Stuff Pack*!

Small Houses, Big Dreams

Challenge yourself to build in a greatly reduced footprint of 100 tiles with a Tiny Home Residential Lot to receive special bonuses for your Sims. In addition to friendlier bills, smaller spaces are good for encouraging relationships to bloom, and you’ll have plenty of leftover yard space for a garden. Compete with your friends to build a cuter, smaller home for the ultimate bragging rights.

Let’s Talk Murphy Beds

You asked for it and we’re delivering: say hello to the murphy bed. Engage in shenanigans aplenty with this multifunctional space-saver—just make sure your Sims don’t get trapped when they’re putting it away! Luckily, it leaves you tons of room for activities, and when paired with the bookshelf/stereo/TV combo object, the possibilities are endless.

We’re Knit Kidding Around!

Expect a bevy of comfortable new CAS items, including chunky knits for the ultimate indulgence in sweater weather. Your Sims will be snug as a bug in these cozy clothes and accessories… maybe even a little too snug.
