In a surprising turn of events, in the middle of a big Expansion Pack reveal, Electronic Arts has dropped a new Sims 4 Update across PC, Mac and Console supported platforms.
The latest Patch for the game resolves an issue with the newer Pack Disabler feature, where the button would appear greyed out for some players. If you have Mods / CC installed you shouldn’t worry about updating again.
This update was targeted to a specific issue that did not require us to update the current TDESC version, so it should not have any impact on mods.
You can download the latest Sims 4 Update by checking for a Patch through the EA App, Steam or Epic Games launcher for Desktop. If you have Automatic Updates enabled the update will automatically download through your client program. In case your EA App is not working properly ensure you’ve cleared your app cache!
If you play The Sims 4 on Xbox Series X / S and Playstation 4 and 5 you can request a new update by checking for updates under The Sims 4 game in the Main Menu. If you’ve enabled automatic updates the Patch should download right away.

[EA Forums] Resolved an issue where the “Confirm” button remained disabled for far too long after players disabled packs from the pack selection screen.
NOTE: The actual time delay is largely specific to the specs of your machine, though some delay on the Confirm button is necessary to ensure that all selected packs are fully loaded before players can confirm any changes. This delay ensures packs load correctly, which provides a smoother and safer experience for players when managing their pack selections.
The update is around 500MB on Windows PC and Mac.

The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits has been fully revealed – here’s Everything We Noticed!
In just under a month, The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits Expansion Pack will release, marking the 20th major DLC launch for the game over the past 11 years. After many leaks and a brief teaser earlier this week, The Sims team have dropped the reveal trailer for the upcoming Expansion Pack, giving us a closer look at what’s to come.
From kayaking to archery, here are 13 new features, both big and small, that we noticed in the latest trailer!
It’s hard to miss! The new world of Gibbi Point is shown off in all its Kiwi glory. As speculated online, the new world is based on New Zealand, featuring the Takahē bird, lush forests, brilliant geysers, and beautiful mountain ranges. During the countdown, we saw the eruption of one of Gibbi Point’s geysers, and later we saw two Sims taking a selfie in front of it.
The world features three pre-made getaway locations. Camp Gibi Gibi, Love Highland, and Revive & Thrive. Each destination caters to different kinds of Sims. Camp Gibbi Gibbi is the perfect location to send your kids away for the Summer. Revive & Thrive focuses on wellness and fitness. And Love Highland is the destination for those looking for love. You can, of course, create your own getaway in any of the three neighbourhoods and play as you please. Just make sure to stop by the boardwalk festivals.
According to the blog post, the world of Gibbi Point contains three distinct neighbourhoods. Wanderwood Wilds is home to the aforementioned Camp Gibbi Gibbi and features streams and lakes where your Sims can fish or catch new insects, as well as watch the geysers erupt into the sky. Jellyfish Junction is where Sims will take a much-needed break at Revive & Thrive, and your Sims may even get to see some jellyfish up close in the rock pools. The third neighbourhood is Crystal Valley, where romantic Sims will be able to find love as they walk along trails dotted with crystal rock formations.
Swimming Pool Features
We haven’t received all that much gameplay for pools since the introduction of the diving point in Get Together or the pool floats in Island Living. Finally, players who are looking to add a bit more fun to their gardens can add the new diving board and waterslides to their pools. As seen in the trailer, the diving board comes in two different heights, and potentially more to be revealed. Here’s hoping we also see the return of Marco Polo from The Sims 2, known as Tim LeTourneau, named after a former Maxis game developer.
Entomology – The Study of Insects
Previously seen in The Sims 4 Outdoor Retreat, bug catching is now a joint family pastime, and it seems as though all ages will be able to participate. Armed with giant nets, Animal Crossing style, Sims can catch butterflies in the new world of Gibbi Point and display them at home in mesh homes. From the official screenshots, we can also see snails as a new collectable insect. According to the blog post, Entomology is a new skill that our Sims can master by catching and studying insects.
Kayaking – Take To The Waters
It’s been a hot minute since we’ve received a new vehicle type, six years to be exact, with sailboats and jet skis in The Sims 4 Island Living. While not yet confirmed, hopefully these kayaks will be available for use in other worlds with swimmable bodies of water. Kayaking will for sure be a good way of increasing your Sims’ fitness skill level and working on their upper body.
New Careers – Camp Counsellors
There are two new career paths to be discovered in the Park Worker Career. The first is park ranger, I’d take this job just for the hat. The second is Camp Counsellor, allowing your Sims to work at the various getaways and work their way up to becoming camp director and running everything from the top dowm!
Imaginary Friends – Good or Evil
The imaginary friend has been a fan request for as long as The Sims 4 has existed. Last seen in The Sims 3 Generations, this slightly terrifying doll can be brought to life by children and interacted with as you would another Sim, but the friend will only be visible to the child. The blog post states that there are four varieties of imaginary fried with a range of traits and personalities. They can be goofballs, competitive, creative or evil. I’m certain that Simmers will find creative ways to wreak havoc with these demonic creatures.
Modular Playground – It’s About Time
The Sims 4 has been lacking in the children’s playground equipment department, to say the least. There are only so many new swingsets we can receive until it gets stale. Thankfully, the new playground equipment is fully modular, allowing players to create any combination of park they desire.
If you want just a ladder and a slide, go for it! Want to create a 64 x 64 lot that is packed with walkways and tunnels? You can! I personally can’t wait to see what designs players come up with when Adventure Awaits releases.
Kids Activities – Child’s Play
Packs like Growing Together and Parenthood gave us a few new activities for children, but very few that children can do together without relying on gameplay objects. From the trailer, we can see children playing rock, paper, scissors, as well as a very interactive game of hide and seek. One of the Sims featured even hides under a box from the seeker. These activities will be perfect for Children with the new competitive trait!
Alongside playground games, those who prefer the indoors will be happy to see a brand new retro games console, which includes a Pokémon-style Voidcritters game. Children can also work on their mental skills on the new Rubik’s Cube-type object. Sims visiting Gibbi Point will be able to play this new console at the new Boardwalk festival. Children can work on the new papercraft skill, creating items such as paper aeroplanes and fortune tellers.
Customisable Venues – Businesses & Hobbies Nachos
The Sims 4 Businesses & Hobbies gave our Sims the ability to run custom venues, free from the constraints of the usual lot types. With Adventure Awaits, players can now create fully custom venues that can be moulded in any way they desire. According to the blog post, players can decide what kind of activities Sims visiting will focus on. If you want to build a swimming pool, that is also a library, that is also a bar, you can!
If the three pre-existing getaway destinations don’t take your fancy, try creating your own or downloading another player’s resort from the gallery. The possibilities for your getaway are endless.
Imagine a beachfront lot that serves smoothies by day—yes, this pack has Blenders!—and transforms into a bustling dance club by night. Need some more inspiration for your perfect getaway?
The Sims 4 Lovetsruck trailer catfished us all with a Sim lifting weights and a focus on the gym lot as a hangout. Well, catfish no more, as our Sims can now lift free weights in the gym or at home to get toned in time for their date at Love Highland. Sims can also get their leg muscles moving with the stationary spin bikes. Sims attending Revive & Thrive can participate in spin classes in groups, with an instructor screaming “motivation” in their faces.
Challenge Modifiers – You Have Been Evicted
You are live on Sims TV, please do not swear! Challenges have been a part of The Sims community for decades now. Popular TV shows like Survivor, Big Brother, and Love Island have been popular inspirations for Simmers’ playstyles and online challenges. Adventure Awaits brings this challenge system right into the game, with Sims being able to choose what type of challenges they compete in and who comes out on top. The new challenges include:
Players Choice Elimination
Creative Skills Contest Elimination
Activity Shuffle
Everyone Hates each Other
Cooking Competition
Romantic Competition Elimination
While we don’t know the exact details of what each challenge involves, we do know that almost all of them feature elimination in some form. How our Sims will be chosen for elimination is yet to be revealed, but I’m certain it will bring some drama to the game!
Painting Under Roofs – It’s Been 84 Years
Now this is a minor thing, yes, but to many, this is major! From promo screenshots and the trailer, we can see several roofs that have textures that differ from the usual white under roofs. This has been the bane of many builders’ existence for the past decade, making builds look out of place and sometimes ugly from the inside. This seems like a feature that will come in a pre-release patch for all players, regardless of whether they own the pack.
Blenders & Smoothies – What Even Is Açaí?
Some many see this as just another appliance your Sims need counter space for, but this has been a long-requested feature from many players. A morning smoothie is essential to many health-nuts around the world, blending overpriced frozen fruit and oats as a replacement for breakfast. This appliance is perfect for Sims wanting a break at Gibbi Point’s Revive & Thrive resort!
The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits Release Information
The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits is due to release on October 2nd 2025, for both PC and consoles. Those who purchase through November 13th will receive the Warm & Cozy Digital Content, including a deck heater, a kettle, and a cosy pair of socks..

The team introduces us to The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits Pack in an official Blog Post.
The Sims Team has released a brand new official blog post for The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits Expansion Pack. Revealing more information about the 20th Expansion Pack and what it’ll include.
Welcome, Simmers of all ages, to Gibbi Point: a new and wonderful world bursting with play, discovery, and adventure at every turn.
Many, many years ago, before it was inhabited, a great wave rushed through Gibbi Point to create a lush and fertile landscape. It became home to Jellyfish, Glow Worms and Plumbirds; it’s also where the world’s largest geyser, unusual caves of crystal, and a bioluminescent bay were formed. But it was more than these unusual creatures and natural wonders that drew Sims from all over to Gibbi Point.
Here, adventure can be found around every corner. Embrace the spirit of childhood and carry it in a bold, adventurous life. Meet new Sims, uncover quests and explore new sights. Discover Getaways like kid’s camp, fitness retreat or even a romantic contest.
Gibbi Point is also the world in which we’re excited to introduce the new Getaway System with Custom Venues and Getaway Planner; expanded childhood content, including new sentiments and a playground builder; and new activities, traits, careers, objects, challenges and more.
So, what do’ya say? Are you ready to explore The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits Expansion Pack and getaway to see exactly what you’ve been missing?!
Table of Contents
1, 2, 3, Getaway!
Three thrilling new neighborhoods await you in Gibbi Point: Wanderwood Wilds is a leafy haven laced with forest trails, erupting geysers and a whisper of mystery; Crystal Valley is where sparkling rock formations ignite the imagination; and Jellyfish Junction is a waterfront wonderland with a glistening lagoon and locals who adore their jellyfish.
Every adventure-brimming neighborhood in Gibbi Point is anchored by its own unforgettable Getaway. Sims can fish in mountain streams and swap campfire stories at Camp Gibbi Gibbi in Wanderwood Wilds, recharge body and mind at Revive & Thrive in Jellyfish Junction, or spark romance at the cozy retreat of Love Highland in Crystal Valley. It’ll be hard to choose your Getaway, and even harder to leave.
Sims can also unwind at boardwalk festivals, grab the controller of a retro gaming console, catch butterflies, and accept quests from a curious local who may actually be the last surviving Large Plumbird to roam Gibbi Point.
For the Young and the Young at Heart
The magic of play begins in childhood! In Adventure Awaits, Child Sims can shape their personality and skills through Formative Moments, new Traits and evolving Childhood Sentiments that influence experiences well into adulthood.
Let young Sims explore Papercraft, Archery, Diving and even Entomology, or build sprawling Modular Playgrounds to make adventure time even more thrilling. They can also enjoy classic games like Hide-and-Seek or Rock, Paper, Scissors, and take on challenges that build both confidence and connections.
If your Child Sim isn’t the Cool Kid on the Block–a new kid-focused aspiration in the pack– and they’re having trouble making friends, try an imaginary one. That’s right, chat, Imaginary Friends are here! Choose from four distinct dolls and four unique personalities, including Goofball, Creative, Competitive, and Evil. Each one will interact and bond with their Sim in their own special and possibly chaotic way. Caution: Evil friends do not come with extra smoke detectors.
For Adult Sims in Gibbi Point, wrinkles and grey hair may be optional, playtime, however, is not. And this place is full of adventures, thrills and new activities, like Kayaking, watersliding, and working out at the Fitness Center. For the truly outdoorsy, the new Park Worker career offers two paths—Camp Counselor and Park Ranger—perfect for keeping adventure alive year-round.
If You Build It, They Will Come
If the three established Getaways don’t fill your adventure cup, you can design your own and play by your own rules! With the new features Custom Venues and Getaway System, you can craft unique escapes for your Sims and their friends. Getaways can last a day or more and be anything from restful to challenging. Schedule activities that’ll help your Sims recharge, and maybe meet new friends. You can even apply rules to your Getaway. For example, for those who love reality dating shows, Elimination Rules will have Sims competing to outlast each other.
Build and decorate your unique Custom Venues however you want, decide what kinds of activities are available there, and share it to the Gallery for others to enjoy.
Imagine a beachfront lot that serves smoothies by day—yes, this pack has Blenders!—and transforms into a bustling dance club by night. Need some more inspiration for your perfect getaway? Check out the builds made by Simmers below in You Make The Sims!
And what’s a Getaway without an itinerary? With the Getaway Planner, you can mix and match activities, or test your Sims’ mettle with fitness challenges using the new Spin Bikes and Free Weights. Win or lose, the new Competitive trait will determine just how gracious, or salty, they are about the outcome.
Ready to share the fun you’ve created? Upload your Custom Venue to the Gallery and help unlock the imagination of your fellow Simmers.
You may have caught a glimpse of young Nigel in the new reveal trailer, alongside his two best buds, Raheel and Toshie, The Great Adventurers. Now an adult and lifelong Gibbi Point resident, Nigel Chavez-Ralston enthusiastically serves as Camp Director at Camp Gibbi Gibbi, guiding Sims young and old through adventures they’ll remember for a lifetime.
Get to know Nigel and other Gibbi Point neighbors in our upcoming Meet the Sims article on September 17.
If you purchase The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits Expansion Pack before November 13, you’ll be treated to an early purchase incentive: cozy lighting from the Toasty Tower Lamp, a comforting beverage from the Toasty Tea Kettle, and snuggly Toasty Tootsies Socks.
You Make The Sims
To show you just how far your imagination can get away in Gibbi Point, we teamed up with creators Jeyjeybink, daniellebuilds, Gryphi, KiwiSimsKate and Axiisims to build one-of-a-kind Lots and Getaway Systems for the pack. Their vision and creativity shine through the boardwalks, campsites, and family homes featured across the world.
Jeyjeybink, an Aussie mum and full-time content creator who can’t resist bringing her favorite movies and TV shows to life in the game, built the Love Highland Custom Venue in the Crystal Valley neighborhood. You can also find her Lot Whispering Waters Sanctuary in the Gallery on October 2nd.
Nestled by the serene waters, Love Highland features a private dock, a luxurious hot tub, and numerous cozy nooks perfect for romantic evenings. Surrounded by nature, it offers an idyllic escape for intimate moments and peaceful relaxation. Opportunities for romance—and drama—abound!
“Knowing this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build lots for my favorite game added some serious pressure. It wasn’t just about making things look epic and unique, but also about creating lots that people can jump into, play with, and craft their own stories, all while having fun,” said Jeyjeybink. “The inground spa was a must-have for every build, it’s such a fun twist on the classic above-ground ones we usually see. I also love an epic fireplace moment, so in my romantic getaway lot, the build literally revolves around a massive fireplace pillar.”
Danielle, aka daniellebuilds, a content creator known for her variety of content including stop motion build videos, speed builds, and tutorials, designed the Jellyfish Jubilee Vacation Rental in Jellyfish Junction as well as Cryptid Creek Camp featured in the Gallery on October 2nd.
Situated in the heart of the bustling seaside neighborhood of Jellyfish Junction, this vacation rental offers vacationers modern comfort and easy access to local attractions and amenities. With its calming decor and star-gazing balcony, Jellyfish Jubilee is the perfect spot for an enjoyable and convenient stay in Gibbi Point.
“When building for Getaways, I think about how players will interact with the space differently than they would a permanent home,” said daniellebuilds. “I focused on creating memorable vacation moments – like scenic outdoor hangouts, activity spaces, and inviting communal areas while still keeping the layout functional for different families.”
Longtime Simmer Gryphi has built Custom Venue Camp Gibbi Gibbi in Wanderwood Wilds, Plumbird Park in Wanderwood Wilds and Fearful Fish Lounge in Crystal Valley.
Camp Gibbi Gibbi offers stunning lake views and a sturdy dock; perfect for jumping into refreshing waters! With many exciting activities to engage in, Sims of all ages will create unforgettable adventures in the heart of nature.
“I never got to go to camp as a kid, so getting to create my dream camp in the game was so exciting; I cannot wait to bring my Sims there,” said Gryphi. “The oceans surrounding the world are beautiful and getting to build so close to them – and even partially on the water for Camp Gibbi Gibbi really helped to pull the builds together. I loved having the ability to add docks over the water with places to roast marshmallows or even go kayaking!”
KiwiSimsKate, who hails from Aotearoa New Zealand (that’s where the ‘Kiwi’ in the name comes from!) built a total of three lots for the Expansion Pack: residential lot Miner’s Manse in Crystal Valley as well as the Revive and Thrive Retreat and Fletcher’s Cottage in Jellyfish Junction.
Overlooking the picturesque bay, Revive and Thrive Retreat provides a serene escape to recharge and rejuvenate. This home away from home features state-of-the-art fitness facilities and tranquil views for a truly refreshing experience.
“I wanted to create the kind of retreat space where your Sim might stumble across Nancy Landgraab next to them in spin class, or be saluting the sun with Judith Ward during the morning yoga routine,” said KiwiSimsKate. “While there are some rustic elements, I drew on inspiration from some of the private retreats you hear about celebrities visiting here in Aotearoa. It was also important to me to include height to the buildings to make the most of those sunrises and sunsets in this beautiful world – allowing your Sims to really unwind after a tough day of exercise. The glamping area, while still being a touch luxurious, allows your Sims to mix with nature, waking up to the sounds of the dawn chorus and a quiet stroll around the trees.”
Axiisims, also known as Alexandra, built three residential lots across the neighborhoods; Seabreeze Scenic, Crystal Cottage, and Wanderwood Wonder.
Crystal Cottage is a sleek and modern house located in the historic mining town of Crystal Valley. It features a polished architectural design and a refreshing pool, seamlessly blending contemporary living with the area’s rich heritage.
“I wanted each lot to have a welcoming and friendly feeling that makes them fun to play with, whether the style for some lots was a bit more rustic or for others more modern,” said Axiisims. “Two of the houses I built were for pre-made families. But if I were to talk about the lot that is currently unoccupied, I would start the story with a young couple just starting out. After they save enough money, they can move into the modern house I made in the Crystal Valley area. When they’re ready, they might even think about having a child. That lot is perfect for a small family with a comfortable lifestyle.”

New experiences are out there for you to discover – or create! Explore the possibilities of Custom Venues and Getaways. Getaways can last a day or more and be anything from restful to challenging. Schedule activities that’ll help your Sims recharge, and maybe meet new friends. You can even apply rules to your Getaway. For example, Elimination Rules – like skill or relationship gains – will have Sims competing to outlast each other. This’ll be extra fun for Sims with the new Competitive Trait. Build and decorate your unique Custom Venue however you want, decide what kinds of activities are available there, and share it to the Gallery for others to enjoy.
Adventure Starts at Childhood
From camp Getaways to imaginative play: the fun Sims have as kids will set the stage for the rest of their lives. Child Sims can develop new traits by going through Formative Moments, and forge evolving Childhood Sentiments towards Sims they grow up knowing. Customize Modular Playgrounds with slides and activities for a ton of Childhood fun. Kids can challenge each other with games like Hide and Seek or Rock, Paper, Scissors, and even have Imaginary Friends! Choose from four different Imaginary Friend dolls and four different personalities: Goofball, Competitive, Creative, and Evil. These personalities will affect the activities they suggest, so keep those smoke detectors handy!
A Life of Play
The love of play begins during childhood and lasts a lifetime. Sims will have new skills to engage with: Papercraft, Entomology, Diving, and Archery. Make classic crafts like paper planes, catch and raise butterflies, make a splash with new diving boards, and hit the bullseye! These activities are for both kids and grown-ups, as are the Diving Board, Waterslide, and Kayak. Get out there and explore the water! Active Adult Sims will enjoy working out with Spin Bikes and Free Weights, and drinking a refreshing smoothie from the new Blender.
Adventure Around Every Corner
Explore 3 neighborhoods – Wanderwood Wilds, Crystal Valley, and Jellyfish Junction – in the adventurous world of Gibbi Point. There are engaging Sims to meet, quests to uncover, and sights to see including an erupting geyser, a bioluminescent bay, and a lagoon glowing with jellyfish (the locals love jellyfish). Attend festivals on the boardwalk, and start a career as a Park Worker that can lead to working as a Park Ranger or a Camp Counselor. You might even spot the mysterious Plumbird! Each of Gibbi Point’s neighborhoods has its own Getaway – Camp Gibbi Gibbi, Revive & Thrive, and Love Highland – that Sims can jump right into.

Our First Look at The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits Expansion Pack Is Here!
After much rumour and many leaks, The Sims Team have published our first look at the next Expansion Pack, The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits. The full reveal trailer will be released this coming Thursday, September 4th. Unlike previous announcements, this reveal didn’t come with a roadmap of upcoming content. Let’s take a look at the latest teaser!

The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits Roadmap Leaks
The leaked roadmap suggests the pack will launch on October 2nd for PC and console players, with a Gameplay Trailer releasing next week! From the latest teaser, it looks like the pack will be full of new features such as archery, kayaking, and lakeside gym classes.
The Reveal Trailer
The trailer is due to drop this Thursday, September 4th at 4:58PM CET / 7:58AM PT. The trailer will be available below when it drops, and you can join the live chat with fellow Simmers.

It’s pretty safe to conclude now that in a matter of days, The Sims Team will introduce us to The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits. With our ongoing coverage of The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits’ manyleaks, we’ve been eagerly attempting to puzzle out the contents of this pack.
With the revelations from our exclusive look at the official pack materials by our anonymous source, we can glean some ideas, visually, about what this pack may entail. While we don’t currently have the full pack details yet, we can make a series of educated guesses with the information available to us.
Until the official pack announcement, this is all, of course, quite speculative. We’re flying blind here, folks. Though, as always, I hope you’ll enjoy the ride with me as we rip these digital documents to shreds to sate our pre-pack curiosity.
As stated in our previous article, the watermarks on the images we’ve obtained were embedded by our source. We’ll leave it up to you whether or not you agree with the message.
Features we noticed in The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits Leaks
So…It’s Camping? Again?
Simmers aren’t unfamiliar with the idea of roughing it; the first game pack, The Sims 4 Outdoor Retreat, took us into the great outdoors in the scenic vacation world of Granite Falls. This pack was very much set within the concept of the “great American campout”; sleeping bags, flimsy tents, log cabins, burnt marshmallows, and all the nature that the US National Park Service has to offer! The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits seems to be within that same vein of rustic camping fun. Though there seems to be a bit of a difference. What’s the difference? Well, let’s dive in and see!
So far, the images we’ve been given haven’t all been sing-alongs around the campfire.
1) Archery
Archery is coming to The Sims 4! The most conclusive piece of information we can gather is from the pack cover. What seems to be a camp counselor (based on the uniform) is instructing a Child Sim how to use a bow. So far, we’re unaware if this skill will be universal across Sim age groups, but we’d certainly hope so.
2) Cootie Catchers
In the section with the camp bunks, we can also see that one child Sim is playing with a “cootie catcher”—a paper fortune teller made by children to divine a variety of things. Hopefully, this will be a fully realized gameplay item as we can see the camp counselor interacting with it as well. Maybe it will be similar to the charm bracelets found in The Sims 4 Growing Together.
3) Critter Carrier
On the table in the foreground of the bunkhouse, we can see an item made of blue mesh. From the handle on the top, and the twig we can see inside, I believe it may be a unique animal collectible! Similar to the unique enclosure of the Death Frog in The Sims 4 Life and Death. An educated guess from the looks of it is that the collectible inside is a caterpillar. It looks very similar to the mesh critter carriers available for catching and observing insects.
If it’s not a collectible, maybe it’ll be similar to the science-based kits where you watch a butterfly’s life cycle by raising a caterpillar through pupation. That would certainly be an interesting new item and would add to the variety of stories Simmers would be able to tell!
But What are The Adults Doing Here?
While the kids in the leaked promo images seem self-explanatory, the adults? Not so much. While it can be argued that they seem a bit asynchronous with the overall 1980s camper vibe you get with the Child Sims, I think they may be two sides of the same coin.
It seems like this may be some sort of “retreat” style camp—on one side, you have the more “traditional” camp experiences for Child Sims, but on the other? It seems to be a luxury style “glamping” excursion. In theory, that means your Sim’s children will be off doing fun, tropey camp activities while they hit the gym, or, from what we see in the promo images, find them a new step-parent. #justsimmerthings, am I right?
4) New Exercise Equipment
It’s been a long while since we last received a new piece of machinery for our Sims to work on their Fitness! The Elliptical bikes shown are certainly mainstays at modern gyms. Along with what seems to be a (now) fully functional hand weight rack!
The blond Sim on the elliptical in the gym scene seems to be experiencing a new moodlet based on using this particular piece of equipment.
5) A New Appliance
In the very back of the gym scene (yes, waaaaay back there), you can see a female Sim pouring something from a pitcher into a cup. While we do have a variety of drink sets available in-game from previous packs, you may notice there seems to be a base to that pitcher! So our Sims may eventually be getting a Blender to add to the appliances in their kitchens!
6) Waterfront Housing
This is a bit of a difficult spot, but waaaaay in the back in the outdoors scene with the adult Sims, you can see what appears to be a dock! With the building so close to the water, there’s the possibility that it’s attached. So we might be seeing the first instance of waterfront housing in-game since The Sims 4 Island Living.
7) The Return of the Imaginary Friend?
Finally, the biggest revelation from this leak—the possible return of Imaginary Friends! First introduced in The Sims 3, this mysterious plush toy is received via mail from a distant relative when a Sim is newly born. The Imaginary Friend then goes through all stages of life with its Sim friend, aging up from a somewhat inanimate plush doll to a fully mobile magical automaton.
If the Imaginary Friend is well-loved and becomes a Good Friend with its assigned Sim, then you have the opportunity to make them into a real boy! Currently, we aren’t 100% on whether or not these dolls are a new incarnation of the imaginary friend. Though from their inclusion in the pack cover art, they’re most certainly going to be one of its core features.

“Therefore, another prologue must tell he is not a lion.”
Like many, I’ve been quite enjoying my time with The Sims 4 Enchanted by Nature. The expansion’s mix of whimsy and charm has me as delighted as I am excited with the much-needed reintroduction of Fairies back into our available occult rolodex. While this in itself is obviously a great addition to The Sims 4’s gameplay loop, I was also charmed as ever to see the reintroduction of yet another classic The Sims 2 family—the Summerdreams.
Based on the iconic play ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ by William Shakespeare, this High Fae family has been a consistently whimsical staple of the franchise. Appearing as “fairies” in The Sims 2 long before the actual addition of Fairies as an Occult life state in The Sims 3. The Summerdreams are adjacent to the core drama of the very much Shakespearian Veronaville neighborhood. With their young son, Puck, having a crush on Hermia Capp. Younger sister of Juliette Capp, who, along with her beau Romeo Monty, sit at the core of the ‘hoods terse feud. I don’t think I have to tell you what this storyline is inspired by, do I?
In their initial iteration, the Summerdreams played as normal Sims but, “in the fiction” of the game’s lore, they were fairies of the High Fae court. With The Sims 4 Enchanted by Nature, this historically fairy family is once again playable, and rightfully in their full Fairy glory. While, of course, they were also playable in The Sims 3 Supernatural, but their status as homeless Townies didn’t rightfully play onto their significance, nor their noble origins. Fairies of the High Court should be befitted an estate most noble. Especially Fairies as storied and steeped in history as that of the Summerdreams.
The general approach of this lookbook is two-fold; re-imagining the family as they were at their debut, but with a modern twist inspired by their historical roots. Because I believe if you decide that two Sims are royalty? They need to look it! Also, I am a massive literary nerd, so this is right up my alley.
This lookbook will be CC-free and composed with a small number of packs so that you can recreate them in your own game. I hope you’re able to find inspiration with these Sims-spearian looks for your next foray with Fairies!
The Sims 4 Enchanted by Nature Lookbook
“Ill met by moonlight, proud Titania.”
A Fae Queen of the High Court is many things—vain, obstinate, powerful—but most of all? She’s fashionable. In her long, soft green shimmering gown with a throat adorned with jewels this queen most certainly rules. Was that a rhyme? Well, this article is Shakespeare themed.
Hair: Wavy Bun (Enchanted by Nature)
Full Body: Tiered Gown (My Wedding Stories)
Shoes: Strapped Pumps(Basegame)
Makeup: Lips, Eyeliner, Cheeks, Full Face (Essential Glam Kit) / Eyelashes (Basegame)
Accessories: Earrings (My Wedding Stories) / Necklace (Enchanted by Nature) / Crown (Enchanted by Nature) / Long French Tip Nails (Basegame)
“What, jealous Oberon!”
The historical Fae King Oberon is known for his quick-temper and somber demeaner. Oberon, the Sim Fairy, however? Not so much. But we can certainly bring some drama and intrigue into his life with this dark, mysterious attire. Everyone loves a Sim in black (or dark blue!) so he’ll definitely be the talk of the court by his softer, pastel-aligned wife’s side.
Hair: Wild Dreads (Life and Death)
Tops: Peasant Shirt and Vest (Life and Death)
Bottoms: Feathered Pants (Enchanted by Nature)
Shoes: Boots (Life and Death)
Makeup: Lips, Eyeliner (Basegame)
Accessories: Choker (Enchanted by Nature) / Earrings, Ring (Basegame)
“Gentle Puck, come hither.”
Puck? Well…he’s Puck. Mischievous, dry, and not one to abide something so banal as a “dress code” when it comes to attending the Fae Court. No, your man, Puck? He’s a jeans sort of guy. Tastefully rolled so that his hooves have room to move, of course. The one rule he follows is wearing a shirt…but only barely, as you can see.
Hair: Braided Side-Shaved (Businesses and Hobbies)
Tops: Tossed Top (Enchanted by Nature)
Bottoms: Cuffed Jeans (Businesses and Hobbies)
Shoes: Satyr’s Hooves (Enchanted by Nature)
Makeup: Lips (Essential Glam Kit) / Eyeliner, Full Face (Enchanted by Nature)
Accessories: Horns (Enchanted by Nature) / Layered Necklace (Businesses and Hobbies)
“Bless thee, Bottom! Bless thee!”
Bottom is most definitely not at the bottom of this list because her look. No, Bottom is at the bottom because if you were to see her streetwear inspired Fae glam at the top? Well, then you’d possibly get distracted from Titania’s quiet elegance. Not giving the High Queen her due is, well, quite dangerous. So we made sure you appreciate Bottom’s righteous kicks and flowing skirt after you’ve appropriately approached the Queen and did the good and proper 12 step greeting…which you totally did, right? Right?
Hair: Glittery Boxbraid Half-Pigtails (Enchanted by Nature)
Tops: Tied Croptop (Discover University)
Bottoms: Butterfly Maxiskirt (Enchanted by Nature)
Shoes: Hightop Sneakers (Discover University)
Makeup: Lips, Eyeliner, Cheeks, Full Face (Essential Glam Kit)
Accessories: Fairy Glasses (Basegame—Nature’s Calling Event reward), Medium French Tip Nails, Layered Bracelets, Striped Socks (Basegame) / Key Necklace (Enchanted by Nature)

If you’re looking to refresh your Sims’ living spaces, custom content (cc) sets are a great way to add unique furniture and décor, and so we have pulled together a catalogue of living room assets we think you will love. Good living room cc is an absolute must for any player.
This collection is made up of 40 Sims 4 living room cc sets and items following the Maxis Match style – meaning it matches cartoony/stylised look of The Sims 4 instead of realistic textures.
To make sure as many people as possible can download our featured collections, we have included links to download content via CurseForge where possible. You can also find more from the creators from the buttons under their images.
The Sims 4 Living Room CC Packs and Sets
All of these custom content sets and links are working at the time of publishing this collection.

Any time you download files from online you should do it as safely as possible and proceed with caution. Always have an up to date antivirus, don’t extract files straight into your mods folder, and remember that Sims 4 custom content files should only have the .package or .ts4script extensions.

Another gorgeous collection from Syboulette is this millennial living room cc set.

This vibrant set includes a sofa, loveseat, armchair, curtains, wall art, shelves, two coffee tables, lots of desk/table clutter, two TVs, floor art, and decorative cushions. After playing with this set I now also use the daisy cushions in all of my kids bedrooms too!
With its comfy sofas, wall photos, and realistic clutter – like jeans and shirts thrown on the couch, as well as socks on the floor – it’s easy to picture this set in the living room of a young adult who has just moved out of the family home.
As well as the sofas and clothing clutter, this collection includes wall art, a coat rack, a fridge, a functional vinyl player and a screen projector TV.

Simmers can find in this set a new sofa, armchair, coffee table, end table, TV stand, wall art, lamp, and – the star of the show – a retro TV with a round screen.

Included in this collection are two chaise lounges, two sofas, a coffee table, a fireplace, a console, a bar cart, a coat rack, lamps, wall decor, a mirror, and lots of alcohol themed decorative items.
Everything in this pack is base game compatible apart from the bar cart, which requires Vintage Glamour to be functional. If you don’t have Vintage Glamour there is a version which is only decorative.
Personally I have been using Perism cc for a long time and I’m a big fan of the David’s Apartment collection, so I had to feature the living room cc set from this here.
This collection contains a sectional sofa, armchair, shelving, coffee table, end table, clutter items, wall art, and new lighting options.

A solid set of items with basic swatches is a must for any builder, and this gorgeous collection of living room cc by Quirky Introvert could easily slot into any starter home or neutral space.
The collection is made up of 14 items and includes a sofa, loveseat, armchair, footstool, coffee table, end table, shelving unit, side table, floor lamp, ceiling lights, decorative flowers, and a ‘mug on books’ clutter item.

In this set you can find a sofa, loveseat, armchair, coffee table, end table, TV stand with detachable shelving, floor lamp, wall art, decorative flowers, and a shelving unit with lots of slots.
The creator describes this set as ‘wabi-sabi’ – an aesthetic that values imperfection, put simply – and you can see that through the imperfect circles and strewn pillows. Imperfect or not, I think we can all agree it looks great.
This collection contains 8 items – a sofa, coffee table, rug, wall art, room divider, mirror, and hallway table.
The living room is the heart of any family home and this cc pack focuses on everything a busy family would need in their living room, from plush sofas and armchairs to functional toys and pet beds.

The cushions and throws also work on other sofas, which is a huge plus.
This is a set to add a little seating area in a music studio or creative Sim’s office space, but I use the album posters and armchairs in studio apartment builds quite often.
As well as the armchair this set includes an end table, plant, console table, stereo and two lamps. The album artwork also comes in tons of swatches.

As simmers we’re incredibly fortunate to be part of such a creative and talented community, and we’re constantly inspired by the amazing work being shared online by custom content creators. While we would love to feature everyone, we’re only able to highlight a limited number of creators at a time.
Everyone’s taste in custom content is so individual, so I’d love to know some of your favourite living room cc pieces – feel free to comment them below!
The first look at Adventure Awaits Expansion Pack gives a glimpse at the new Family gameplay coming. Including Archery, a new World and possibly Imaginary Friends as a new occult. Although not officially confirmed yet.
Yesterday, we received an anonymous e-mail from a user with, what appears to be, a temporary email account. The images they provided look real and match the first cover art leak.
Still, the apparent leaker also wants to get a message across. “Before everyone gets it I wished people would stop buying new packs and reconsider it, demanding the foundation to be fixed” – stated the new anonymous leaker in an email to us.
Which is why you’ll also see a very specific watermark across the leaked footage material. The watermark states “don’t buy packs for a broken game”, with what appears to be official screen showcase and cover art for The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits.
First Feature Screen for The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits
The first feature screen for The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits Expansion showcases three different sceneries / stage setups.
The first with a couple of Sims meeting up in front of an outdoorsy venue. The second frame showcases Sims using new gym equipment, including the new dumbbells (as seen in promotional footage for The Sims 4 Lovestruck EP) and new indoor bike cardio stations. The third frame shows child Sims having fun in a Summer-camp themed bedroom. Filled with bunkbeds, new recipes and toys.
Take a look yourself in the first feature screen below:
Official Cover Render
The anonymous leaker also sent the widescreen version of The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits Cover Art. Including a clearer look at the new world coming with this Expansion Pack release.
What we know about The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits
The official full features and information about The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits Expansion still wait to be revealed. However, with the first leak for The Sims 4 Roadmap for September to December 2025, we can assume what the rollout of information for this pack is going to look like.
Please note that all dates and info mentioned below are subject to change.

September 10th: The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits EP Gameplay Trailer

Embark on life-changing adventures where children discover new hobbies through recreation and exploration activities that shape their future interests.

Dive into endless water activities, uncover camp myths, discover new creatures, make lasting friendships, and develop hobbies to share with the whole family.
I’m mentioning this in the final aspect of the article to warn players that Sims 4 Surveys can contain multiple information and suggested themes and features. That doesn’t mean that they might end up in the final version of a product, or in this case, the final version of The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits.
Keep your expectations set and wait for more information about the pack before drawing a conclusion about what the pack might include!
What are your thoughts on everything that’s been leaked and shown for The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits Expansion so far? Let us know in the comments and stay tuned for all the latest Sims News & Updates!
It may have released over a decade ago, but The Sims Team isn’t slowing down production of The Sims 4 DLC in the slightest. With the leaked roadmap showing what’s coming for the rest of the year, we now know this will be the most expensive year for players in terms of DLC releases.
However, I wouldn’t be surprised if this record is beaten again next year. And the year after. And so on.

The Sims 4 DLC count overall:
Expansion Packs – 20
Game Packs – 12
Stuff Packs – 20

With the wording of the upcoming road map that has leaked, we know for sure that The Sims 4 DLC will include at least 5 more kits this year. Only one of them is named, Autumn Apparel, with the others just being labeled as upcoming “creator kits” and “kits” respectively. Since they’re each plural we know we’re getting at least two more of each, maybe more.
No matter how many kits release on November 6th and December 4th, it’s already the most expensive year for The Sims 4 DLC by far. And we’re not counting The Sims 1 + The Sims 2 Rereleases which came out this year. Nor the MySims Cozy Bundle which was released for PC.
Love it or hate it, The Sims 4 is here to stay for the foreseeable future with no signs of slowing down. Quite the opposite, actually.

The Sims 4 For Rent Corruption Bug Is Widely Reported, But It’s Not Entirely True
The Sims 4 For Rent Corruption has been the topic of conversation on the lips of Simmers for what feels like an eternity, but with the internet being an echochamber of misinformation, the truth of what is going on can be hard to pinpoint. The truth is, there are many factors. Corruption is not new to The Sims franchise. The Sims 2 was infamous for save game corruptions, the causes of which can vary. The case is very much the same with The Sims 4. Let’s take a look at what is happening and how you can best avoid it.
Table of Contents
The History Of Save Corruption
As previously mentioned, the concept of save, or game, corruption isn’t new. The Sims 2 has an infamous history with corruption, and its own set of misinformed reasons for corruption alongside it. Players online often touted deleting deceased Sims’ gravestones as a reason for a save file corruption; however, the issue is much deeper than that. The Sims 4 saves all your information into one file; The Sims 2, on the other hand, saves every bit of information about a save into its own file. The Sims populating the world? Their own file. The lots in the neighbourhood? They have their own file too. One corrupted file can cause the entire save to become unplayable over time.
The Sims 3 also had its fair share of corruption issues. The inability to save results in the “Error Code 12” pop-up, being unable to load into households, and not being able to save households to the family bin. There are a lot of things that can go wrong. Being an open-world game, NPC Sims going about their lives at the same time as your active household can cause a number of issues. Modders such as Nraas have created mods that have become a necessity for many players to avoid errors that can lead to corruption.
Corruption In The Sims 4
While not new, the concept of corruption was new to many players after the release of The Sims 4 For Rent Expansion Pack, due to the pack’s features amplifying the issue. The Sims 4 For Rent adds the ‘Residential Rental’ lot type to the game, allowing players to split a single lot into up to 6 individual units (up to 94 units with cheats). Unaided by cheats, this could mean up to 48 Sims living on a single lot. Information saved, such as Sim data, lot information, and object count, can all contribute to the risk of corruption, which is how it has become so synonymous with For Rent.
The issue of corruption isn’t a new one. Save game corruptions have been an issue plaguing the game since launch, and as the game continues to grow and save files need to write more data, the issue persists and amplifies. Players may run into various error codes, such as Error Code 140 caused by outdated mods, or Error Code 111, which is caused by Rabbits from Cottage Living. You can find an exhaustive list of known Error Codes over on Crinrict’s website.
What Does Corruption Look Like?
Save corruption in The Sims 4 isn’t always dramatic at first. In many cases, it begins as small, strange behaviours that build over time. Unlike a simple bug, which might be fixed by resetting a Sim or repairing the game, corruption tends to spread and worsen until the save becomes unplayable.
Many symptoms of corruption can include:
Lots outside the active lot will appear empty, or as the default lot that shipped with the world.
Save corruption doesn’t usually stem from one isolated bug; it’s the result of different systems colliding and overwhelming the game’s ability to keep track of everything. The Sims 4 has been expanding for almost a decade, and as more content is added to the base game, the strain on its save system increases.
There are a few identified causes of save corruption, the most notable being too many Residential Rental units with the use of The Sims 4 For Rent. Take a look at some of the possible causes below.
Long-running saves. As file sizes grow, the likelihood of corruption increases. The more Lots, Sims, relationships, objects, photos, events, milestones, etc, the more data needs to be saved.
Updates that patch existing bugs may inadvertently cause new issues within the game.
Running outdated mods on newer saves can cause corruption.
Similarly, running newer mods on outdated versions of the game can also cause corruption.
Force-quitting the game or shutting your system down while saving can cause only partial data to be saved.
Too many Residential Rental lots can inflate a save file size, leading to errors.
Multiple lots with too many objects/too much use of the Move Objects cheat.
Ultimately, corruption happens when the game’s fragile save structure can’t reconcile all the moving parts. For Rent hasn’t created the issue, but it has amplified it; its new rental and housing systems add even more complexity to already heavy save files.
Is The Sims 4 For Rent To Blame?
After the expansion launched, players began sharing reports of long-running saves suddenly becoming unstable, failing to load, or breaking beyond repair. While For Rent didn’t create the problem, its timing and the scope of its new features have made it the prime suspect.
At the heart of the issue is how much For Rent adds to the game’s already fragile framework. The expansion introduced multi-unit Residential Rental lot types, allowing players to have up to 99 units per save file, adding to the amount of save data that needs to be written. For players who have been running the same legacy family or long-running save for years, this extra weight often becomes the tipping point.
This isn’t without precedent. Other expansions have destabilised saves in the past, including The Sims 4 Get To Work, in which players experienced crashes and errors caused by the Scientist career lot, as well as retail progress not being made and sold items reappearing without the need to restock. Where past packs tended to break one or two aspects of gameplay, For Rent interacts with almost every household and lot in a world. That makes any instability far more likely to snowball into full-blown corruption.
How Can I Prevent Corruption?
While there is no guaranteed way to prevent corruption in The Sims 4, players can take some steps to reduce the risk and protect their progress. The key is to not rely on a single save file, but create backups, manage mods and CC, and play wisely.
Quick tips on how to protect your saves:
Create new saves – Don’t overwrite saves. Go to Menu (…) > ‘Save as’ > then click ‘Add New Save’. This way, you have backups and can play rotationally.
Create backups – Copy your Sims 4 saves folder (Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > saves) and save it either locally on your PC/Mac, or on cloud storage.
Update mods and CC – Before installing a new update, make sure to back up all mods, saves, and tray files. Once the game has updated, re-enable your mods and check the mod authors’ page to see if it has been updated for the latest game version, or if any conflicts are known.
Update the game – Some players choose not to update their game; however, you must make sure not to install mods intended for the latest version, as this can cause corruption.
Build/Download wisely – Some builders on the gallery don’t optimise their builds with the intent of it being playable. This can lead to a large object count, all of which the game has to save. Try playing with lots that are optimised for gameplay and that are routable for Sims.
When Will Corruption Be Fixed?
As previously established, there is no one reason for a save being corrupted, only reasons for its acceleration. The save bloating caused by Residential Rentals is currently under investigation by the dedicated bug-fixing team over at Maxis; however, it is tricky for them to pinpoint due to the sandbox nature of the game, with players choosing to play their games in a variety of ways.
We’ve received questions from players with concerns about the For Rent Expansion Pack and save file issues in The Sims 4. Today we’re sharing a detailed update on this, but here’s a quick TLDR;
We’ve fixed 29 community-reported issues on For Rent, and have 37 currently under investigation, with 11 requiring more info from players. 2 of those issues are related to save file concerns, with a combined total of 222 votes from players. We have a partial fix currently identified for the issue with the most votes, and will share updates as we have them.
For save file issues more broadly, we’re currently aware of 6 issues that players correlate with save corruption. Our investigations show this is a complex situation; it’s not a single bug and given the huge variance in devices, setups, packs, and other factors, will continue to require thorough investigation by our team. We’re committed to tackling this, and any detailed reports players can share will really help us progress.
Corruption in The Sims 4 has long been a constant threat, but the release of The Sims 4 For Rent has highlighted just how fragile the game’s structure can be. For players with long-running families and saves full of builds, the risk is real, and the consequences can be devastating. While the expansion itself isn’t solely to blame, its multi-unit residential rentals that have pushed many saves to the breaking point.
The good news is that with careful habits such as rotating saves, regular backups, updated mods, and cautious play, players can significantly reduce their risk of losing years of progress. In the end, corruption serves as a reminder of how much players invest in their stories and worlds, and why protecting those creations should remain a priority. For now, awareness, preparation, and caution are the best tools we as Simmers have to keep our saves safe.

It seems the main render of The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits has leaked.
We got a news tip from a user @FoxyDanie on X, who provided an image of, what appears to be, the main cover of The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits Expansion Pack.
From the cover, we can speculate that the next Sims 4 Expansion Pack will feature a new world with natural springs, archery, and possibly imaginary friends?
The announcement of the next Sims 4 Expansion Pack is imminent. When do you think the Pack will be announced?
The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits is the 20th Expansion Pack for the series, retailed at $39,99USD (or a price equivalent to your local currency). The rumored release date is October 2nd, 2025.
Last night, the official EA App program updated its The Sims 4 store page with a new segment talking about the next Sims 4 Roadmap. Captured by @EvanLe24 on X, the newest Leak talks about an Adventurous new Expansion Pack, several new Kits and a limited time event “all about Childhood”.

The official link to the Roadmap is currently linking to a 404 page. However, we know by the URL that the official name of this Sims 4 Roadmap is called “Escape? Or Escapade”.
Thanks to the EA App leak, we now also know that the new Sims 4 Limited Time Event starting September 23rd (or sometime around that) is related to childhood.
What’s in that Roadmap screen?
Several interesting elements can be found in the new, higher quality Roadmap screen. We can see an illustration of an activity that looks like butterfly catching, shooting arrows at a target and several cutesy bears that look like they came from a child’s imagination.
What’s coming to The Sims 4 from September to December 2025
Now that the leak confirms The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits, as well as the upcoming Sims 4 Roadmap, we can safely assume that the leaked Sims 4 Roadmap is true. Here’s what you should expect for The Sims 4 from September to December 2025, according to the original leak.
