Community Thoughts: Lacking Makeup Options in The Sims 4 and how it can be improved

Ever since The Sims 4’s release in 2014 the community always felt like the game could do more in terms of makeup options that we get in Create A Sim. We’ve gotten a few extra options with Get to Work, Luxury Party and Get Together but in the last 3 years there hasn’t been anything done or added to the current catalog of makeup that would improve the experience of stylizing our Sims.

Other than the fact that we don’t get enough makeup categories that would help stylize specific parts of our Sims’ faces, the makeup we have right now is lacking to make our Sims stand out. Makeup offered with The Sims 4 Base Game is either too subtle or too visually striking. It’s especially hard to put makeup on Sims with darker skin tones. For example, there are only 5 presets for the “normal” Blush makeup option while there are 35 different skin tones in the game. The 5 blush presets only look good for some skin tones and even for those skin tones it’s hard to give the player full control over the makeup they’re wearing considering that some prefer to give their Sims certain levels of subtle makeup.

Community Thoughts: Lacking Makeup Options in The Sims 4 and how it can be improved

Those are just the lacking blush options that we have. There’s also lipstick, eyeshadow and the eyeliner makeup items that need improvement.

Makeup trends have changed tremendously in the world over the last few years. We know that The Sims 4 has its own universe of its own fashion rules but The Sims Team often knows how to hit the jackpot when it comes to adding trendy (and traditional) hairstyles and outfits that are inspired from real world. You can even see Concept Art from The Sims 4 that we occasionally post on our website which proves the point that the team uses references from the real world as an inspiration for The Sims 4 universe. Why doesn’t The Sims Team use today’s makeup trends to improve their lacking catalog of makeup in The Sims 4? We still don’t have an answer to that question but we did ask our Twitter followers about what they think about the current makeup options and features in the game and how they think it could be improved.

Here are their thoughts:

What are your thoughts on the current makeup options and how do you think they can be improved? Let us know in the comments!

The Sims 4: Another Expansion / Game Pack has been confirmed for 2018

The Sims 4: Another Expansion / Game Pack has been confirmed for 2018

UPDATE: EA Poland tried to explain the Instagram Story (that they deleted that you can see below) and what they “really meant”. They explained in a series of stories below that the new Expansion Pack that they meant was Cats & Dogs for Consoles.

However, they still didn’t elaborate why did they answer “YES” to Game Packs as well and why they deleted the Instagram Story. It looks like they’re trying to cover up the fact that there’s actually going to be one more Expansion and Game Pack for The Sims 4 this year!

  • You asked us yesterday, if a new Expansion is coming…
  • We answered…YES
  • This July…
  • Cats & Dogs for Xbox One and PS4

EA Poland shared an interesting piece of information about what’s to come for The Sims 4 in 2018. The Sims Poland’s Instagram account revealed that we should be expecting another Expansion / Game Pack for this year!

Here’s what they said in an instagram story post that’s been quickly deleted afterwards:

Instagram Question: Will there be another game pack or an expansion in 2018?

The Sims Poland: YES.

The Sims 4: Another Expansion / Game Pack has been confirmed for 2018

 

This means that 2018 will be a second year where The Sims 4 might get two Expansion Packs. The last time we got two Expansion Packs was back in 2015 with Get to Work in Spring and Get Together in Fall. Considering that The Sims 4 Seasons Expansion Pack has been released in Spring that leaves plenty of space left for another Expansion Pack this year, as well as a Game Pack.

As there won’t be any more quarterly teasers for The Sims 4 you should stay tuned to our website as we’ll keep you updated about the latest leaks, speculation and official information about the upcoming content for the game!

What do you think that the next Expansion Pack and Game Pack are? Let us know in the comments!

The Sims Mobile: Surgeon Career Now Available

The Sims Mobile Team has just released a Surgeon Career to players worldwide!

To unlock the Surgeon Career you need to have the Medical Injector Heirloom in your inventory. Considering it’s a rare heirloom it might take you a few retirements / Luxe Heirloom Chests to get this heirloom. If you played The Sims Mobile during its pre-release period before the worldwide launch then the chances are that you already might have this heirloom in your inventory!

Another way to obtain the Medical Injector Heirloom is to purchase it along with other exclusive items that you get with the Limited Time Surgeon Career Pack, which is priced at $6.99USD. This pack is currently available for the next 13 days.

After obtaining the Medical Injector heirloom you get a quick, two-step quest after which you’ll be able to unlock the Surgeon Career!

The Sims Mobile: The Surgeon Career is already unlocked (for some)

Yesterday The Sims Mobile team has announced that they’ll soon be releasing a new Surgeon Career. However, after the latest minor update that was deployed last night (which was only around 27MB) I was able to get my hands on the Surgeon Career, and it seems that not everyone was able to do the same.

As soon as I downloaded the new update I restarted the game and immediately was greeted with a small “Surgical Precision” Quest. The whole objective of this quest is to place a new Surgery Table in the Hospital Venue which I was able to do so. However, there are numerous reports of people not able to even access the latest quest.

The Sims Mobile: The Surgeon Career is already unlocked (for some)

There’s a new “Surgeon Career” Items Collection that you can access while in the Hospital Venue in Build Mode. It features 2 new items: the Surgery Table and the Surgery Light while the X-Ray Machine and the Illuminated X-Ray have only been recategorized from the Medical to the Surgery Career.

The Sims Mobile: The Surgeon Career is already unlocked (for some)

You’re able to join the Surgeon Career by pressing the briefcase icon above the Surgery Table. After that all you have to do is pick “The Mysterious Benefactor” Story and you’re all set to play with the new Surgeon Career

While the Surgeon Career is still not available to plenty of players, some have reported that they’re able to play with it under mysterious circumstances. I don’t know what it takes to fully unlock this career and is there something beyond the mini-quest to unlock it but we’ll keep you posted as soon as this career is fully (and officially) out!

In case you have Mods or Custom Content, the game will automatically disable them for you after first launching The Sims 4 after the update. To re-enable all your Mods and Custom Content, select the Settings option in the Menu and select Settings. Under the”Other” section you’ll find the ”Enable Custom Content and Mods” option. Check it and restart your game in order for it to take effect!

Patch Notes

Update: 07/10/2018 – PC 1.44.88.1020/ Mac 1.44.88.1220

Hi Simmers!

We have another update for you to improve some of the issues found after the release of Seasons and the June update. Take a look at the notes to see what has changed. Thanks for your support and be sure to enjoy the fantastic summer weather from time to time!

Let’s get into the patch notes!
-SimGuruGrant aka Grant Rodiek

The Sims 4

  • We addressed an issue where the game would lag when placing wall patterns on blocks that were touching roofs.
  • The Reset Object cheat is now available to the community again. You could say that we reset it.
  • Sims no longer route fail when trying to enter a room on foundation level 1 that doesn’t have a stair. They just step up like a big kid, now.
  • Neat Sims are no longer uncomfortable when near a fire place that has assorted upgrades.
  • The lid for the GrillWise by GrillMania has been returned.

Get to Work

  • The Lice Cold Retail Freezer can now hold harvestables for you to sell.

Cats & Dogs

  • Cats and dogs should no longer fill your Sims’ queue with interactions. We want the pets to be friendly, but perhaps not that friendly.

Jungle Adventure

  • Emotion berries now provide emotions again, which is a berry good thing.

Seasons

  • Thermostats now have their interactions available when placed on Commercial and Vacation lots.
  • You can no longer use the Woo interaction with Bee Swarms to, *cough* woohoo with a relative.
  • Patchy the Scarecrow will no longer change into a human.
  • We addressed an issue where roof decorations on some lots didn’t look appropriate for the Mac.
