The Sims 4: Expect Changes to Upcoming Pack Releases + More on Upcoming Quarters

After the announcement that Quarterly Teasers for The Sims 4 are no more, many were left wondering what it means exactly that “there will be quarters where we don’t release new paid content”. SimGuruKate emphasized the fact that this only means that there’s going to be some quarters where paid content won’t be released, meaning that we can expect free content & updates to be released on occasion during that period.

She also mentioned the fact that EA / Maxis are changing the way paid content is delivered to the public.

Does this mean that Expansion Packs for The Sims 4, just like Seasons, are now going to be released less than a month away from their announcement and are there more changes to the way Game Packs and Stuff Packs are being released? We’ll have to wait and find out! After all, there are at least 3 more years of content in plan for The Sims 4!

No More Quarterly Teasers for The Sims 4 + Update on Future Plans

No More Quarterly Teasers for The Sims 4 + Update on Future Plans

SimGuruKate has shared a post on The Sims Forums talking about Quarterly Teasers for The Sims 4. More precisely, she explained that there will be no more quarterly teasers for the game and that The Sims Team is taking a different approach to announce and release packs from this point on.

You can check out the full elaboration below:

Hello Simmers!

With July now here we know many of you have been anticipating the next quarterly teaser video. Getting straight to the point, I’m here to let you know that we will no longer be releasing quarterly teasers. As much as we enjoyed sharing a sneak peek into the future, there’s a good reason why they don’t make sense moving forward.

Since the beginning of The Sims 4, we’ve been forthright in saying that pack releases won’t fall into predictable patterns, and to expect for things to change as we try new approaches to creating fun experiences. As you may be guessing, we’re mixing things up. Starting with the recent surprise announcement and release of The Sims 4 Seasons, we’re shifting our approach regarding the types of packs we create, and when they’ll be released. This change means that there will be quarters where we don’t release new paid content, so quarterly teasers won’t be the right format for sharing information.

That said, we’re also reaffirming that a bright future lies ahead for The Sims 4. The full Sims 4 Development Team is working hard on multiple packs that are in various stages of development. We also remain committed to improving the game via updates and more free content, which will continue to release on a frequent cadence. Ultimately this is a signal that we’ve heard your feedback, and we’re tweaking our plans to deliver the content you’ve been asking for.

Thank You!
SimGuruKate

 

We’re looking forward to what upcoming quarters have in store for The Sims 4. Until then, please enjoy our super cheesy compilation of all the quarterly teasers that we had:

Using The Sims 4 Seasons to Create Immersive Storytelling

With the Seasons expansion, storytelling has never been this easy in the Sims 4! With a handful of new features, and a few pre-existing ones, you can make your game come to life for your gameplay and your sims stories. Utilizing new decorating options, multiple outfits, and tweaking the seasons settings to suit your experience, gives your game a whole new depth and telling a more dynamic story than ever before – just think of the screenshots!

Decorating the house exterior

Use the new decorations box to quickly and easily get your house ready for the festivities of the season! You have plenty of options from bunting to lights to streamers, and plenty of colour options to cycle through to perfect the atmosphere. You can even use these decorations for everyday, and they can all be taken down with one click on the box. The perfect way to immerse yourself into seasonal gameplay and take wonderful screenshots with none of the fuss!

Search The Attic Stack Decoration Box in build/buy mode.

Using The Sims 4 Seasons to Create Immersive Storytelling

Using multiple outfits for all your categories

Utilising the multiple outfit system from the base game makes it easy to have your sims dressed for every occasion! Having some alternate outfits set up means you can switch super easily from your snow coat to your festive winter sweater, or from your shorts and flip flops to a dress, hat and sunglasses. Making use of multiple outfit options with the new weather and holiday functions adds realism to your gameplay, and makes your screenshot stories so much more dynamic. There’s some gorgeous new Winterfest sweaters that are sure to get your sims in the holiday mood!

Using The Sims 4 Seasons to Create Immersive Storytelling

More decorating

If you want to spend more time decorating, Seasons has added a load more festive decorations for you to manually place in your sims abode to up the realism in game. Not sure what to choose? By using the decorations box, you can be provided with some seasonal decorations in the matching colour scheme for that time of year. That way, you don’t have to search through the catalogue to get a homey seasonal feel. If that’s not enough, don’t forget to download the free Holiday Stuff through Origin for even more Winterfest decorations, or use The Sims 4 Spooky Stuff for any Halloween shenanigans!

Using The Sims 4 Seasons to Create Immersive Storytelling

Fine tune your seasons

Trying to take the perfect screenshot, but the extreme weather in some of the neighbourhoods keeps getting in the way? Use the seasons menu to fine tune your neighbourhoods weather effects, so you can choose how much your sims are affected by the daily forecast. Playing in Oasis Springs, but your sims can’t go outside without getting heat stroke midsummer? Turn that off, and you can have all the fun you want outdoors! It’s all about fine tuning your experience to you, to give you the most immersive experience possible.

Using The Sims 4 Seasons to Create Immersive Storytelling

Using events for storytelling

Got a sim who throws big raging parties every week? Or a family that gathers for a movie night every second Sunday? Use the new calendar functions to add events like these into your sims lives! This way, you can organise when some gameplay highlights will happen, and you can coordinate sims around work or other activities to make sure you can tell the story you want to tell. The calendar will also tell you other important dates such as sim birthdays, making it even easier to know when sims will be aging up and to plan the perfect party to celebrate. For an expanded explanation of the new calendar system, click here.

The Sims 4: Dev Cheats Removal and How To Bring Them Back

The Sims 4: Dev Cheats Removal and How To Bring Them Back

The Sims Team removed plenty of developer cheats with their recent update that were present in The Sims 4 since its launch. Some of them included the ability to spawn collectibles, reset certain objects and more which you can find on this list.

However, modder TwistedMexi was able to bring these back with his latest mod, allowing you to use all the cheats that we had since the beginning.

The mod can be installed just like any other. Simply paste the .ts4script file to Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods folder and make sure you have BOTH Mods / CC and Script Mods enabled in your game options. Enabling the Script Mods option is crucial for this mod to work.

Please note that the dev cheats that we have on The Sims 4 Cheats Page are now accessible only with this mod!

The Sims 4: List of Removed Cheats

SimGuruGrant has confirmed that with the recent update for The Sims 4 they’ve removed some cheats from the game for technical reasons.

The developer confirmed that Sims 4 Removed Cheats that have been excluded from the game will be making a comeback. All in a more “official” way as The Sims Team plans to add more cheats over time with better presentation and availability.

Sims 4 Removed Cheats statement from Developer

There is a specific bullet in the patch notes I want to talk about. You might be mad. But, let’s discuss. (This may take a few Tweets). This is in regards to Cheats. We create cheats in every pack to help us test and develop features.

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 26, 2018

We also discuss which cheats we can expose to the community. We know many of you use them to tell stories, get to the part of the game you like, all of that. Unfortunately, we exposed a handful of cheats that we really, really shouldn’t have. It was a mistake on our part.

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 26, 2018

Why shouldn’t we expose some cheats? Well, some cheats can REALLY mess up your game. In ways we cannot fix or reverse. It’s also very difficult for us to know what you did and what cheats you used when you come to us with glitches to fix.

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 26, 2018

While this will frustrate you, and that’s fair, we needed to remove some cheats to basically make sure you don’t get into a case where your game just doesn’t work. Long term, though, something we’d like to do is make many of our cheats more official. What does this mean?

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 26, 2018

The idea is that we would develop cheats and put them in the option menu, or in official game interactions. They would be fully developed so that the ones we release cannot break or ruin your game. Whether it’s “cheating” money, skills, and so forth, we’d make it “real.”

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) June 26, 2018

So, stay tuned. It’s “on the roadmap” so to speak. I’m sorry for the bad news. pic.twitter.com/bFairu9tW1

Grant also provided a useful list of all The Sims 4 Removed Cheats that have been removed from the game for the time being. Here’s the list:

The Sims 4: New Update + Patch Notes! (June 27th, 2018)

The Sims Team has released a brand new Update for The Sims 4 on PC and Mac!

To download the latest version of The Sims 4, simply open your Origin program and if the game doesn’t update automatically, right click on The Sims 4 and select ”Update”.

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: 06/26/2018 – PC 1.44.83.1020 / Mac 1.44.83.1220

Hi Simmers!

With the launch of Seasons we encountered a few issues we weren’t expecting and wanted to quickly address as many issues as possible. We’re still following up on several community reports, so if you know of an issue that isn’t listed here, be sure to engage with us on the Forums or social media to continue the conversations.

Base Game

  • We addressed an issue where fireplaces wouldn’t remain lit. Now, they should remain lit, and if they could talk, they would probably tell their friends “come thru, it’s lit.” Because it’ll literally be lit.
  • We addressed some cases where players were experiencing severe lag when placing wallpapers in build mode.
  • They always say the grass is greener on the other side, but here at Maxis we try to innovate, and unfortunately we made the grass really brown in some cases, even if you don’t have Seasons installed. We’ve now returned to our regularly scheduled green grass.
  • Spliced plants now have a proper description so you know what comprises their genetic makeup.
  • The underside of roof eaves no longer have texture.
  • Plants were growing a bit too wildly out and about in the world. We’ve scaled them back with some digital, organic, completely sustainable pesticide.
  • In the past, we accidentally made available several cheats that are meant for debugging and developing the game only. To be frank, the cheats are VERY dangerous and can have very unpredictable effects on your games. We took these cheats away to be safe. However, we took a few TOO many away. We have added the following cheats back:

    stats.set_skill_level
    stats.set_stat
    sims.fill_all_commodities
    stats.fill_commodities_household

  • Plants inside a planter box can now receive water again.

Get to Work

  • As expected, any objects placed in the Modern Metallic Illuminated Display Case can now be moved, removed, and so forth.

Seasons

  • Calendar events will now occur on the day for which you planned them, thus ending centuries of debate on the purpose of a calendar.
  • Player created events will now appear on the calendar as expected.
  • NOTE: As a result of some calendar improvements, the dates for some of your currently scheduled events MAY change, but this will only happen once.
  • In an unexpectedly diabolical twist, Sims were hosting pool parties in the winter and their guests were freezing to death. Yikes! Sims invited to the pool party are now immune to the effects of the cold during the party.
  • We fixed an audio issue when Teen Sims plead for Forgiveness on gnomes.

The Sims 4 Seasons: Holiday Lookbook

Pretty In Pink was inspired by Love Day! I went to town on the hearts and the Love Day dress was the perfect fit for the theme! The new Ombre hair has a subtle pink tinge to the ends of it which blends into the dress. I then went with these Heart White Tights from Get to Work, a cute accessory to the dress. Then these Custom Content shoes from Madlen which have a little bow on the toes.

Hair: Ombre Long Wavy in Dirty Blonde (Seasons)

Accessories: Pearl Bracelet (Get to Work)

Top: Love Day Dress in Pink (Seasons)

Bottom: Heart Tights (Get to Work)

Wicked Witch

The Sims 4 Seasons: Holiday Lookbook

Wicked Witch is my personal favorite! Though it only uses a few Items from Seasons I also used an Item from Spooky Day because this look is themed on Halloween! The dress is the Figure Skating Dress we get with Seasons using the purple swatch, I thought it fit so well with the spooky theme but used in a party way. The I brought in the Witch hat from Spooky Day stuff paired with the Maple Leaf Earrings from Seasons in a Black Swatch.

Included:

Hair: Medium Curls (Base Game)

Accessories: Witch Hat (Spooky Day Stuff) | Maple Earrings (Seasons) 

Top: Skate Outfit (Seasons)

Mrs Claus

Summer Holiday is inspired by the new Swim Items we got for Toddlers and Children. Here we have a brother and sister enjoying the sunshine together! Both hairs are from Seasons and I adore the baby Afro! The toddler Swimsuit comes in a variety of swatches but I chose orange and blue as it matched her little flower band. For the brother I chose this blue and yellow Swim Outfit to match the new toddler pool and because it also matched the Base Game Flip Flops.

The entire Sims Franchise could be banned in these 7 countries

The Sims Franchise could be severely impacted by regional standards in some of the countries which are trying to get The Sims banned.

EA_Mai, the Community Manager at EA Answers HQ has posted a notice saying that The Sims FreePlay will no longe be available starting July 5th, 2018. Players will be able continue to play the game, however, the game will disappear from the iOS and Google Play stores, meaning that it will no longer receive new updates and support in these 7 countries.

Simmers,

We’ve always been proud that our in-game experiences embrace values as broad and diverse as our incredible Sims community. This has been important to us, as we know it is to you.

In light of regional standards, starting 5th July, 2018, The Sims FreePlay will no longer be made available in the following storefronts:

  • China
  • Saudi Arabia
  • UAE
  • Oman
  • Kuwait
  • Qatar
  • Egypt

You can keep playing after this date if you already have The Sims FreePlay installed on your mobile device, but further updates or purchases will not be available. Since we won’t be updating, the game could stop working at a later date. If you delete the game or switch to a new device, the game won’t be available to download.

We appreciate your support. Please be sure to download the latest update today to keep creating your story.

Thanks for playing!

The Sims FreePlay Team

 

The reason why The Sims FreePlay (and possibly other Sims games as well) are getting banned in these countries is because The Sims FreePlay and other Sims Games allow you to form and have same-sex relationships in the game. Countries listed above all share the same rule and that’s that they don’t allow “gay propaganda” in the public. For example, even though it’s not “illegal” to be gay in China, all LGBT content is banned from the Internet and TV.

How is this affecting the entire Sims Franchise? Well, considering that it’s the easiest to pull the plug on a mobile game, we could be expecting The Sims Mobile to be banned in these 7 countries as well, following the PC games such as The Sims 4 and previous entries. Still, there isn’t an official announcement talking about pulling the plug on The Sims Mobile and The Sims 4 for PC…yet.

We’ve already seen examples of The Sims Team showing support towards the LGBT community through their promotional material. One of the biggest things they’ve done to allow more inclusion and diversity in the game was the CAS Gender Update, letting your Sims wear masculine or feminine clothing, change their physical frames between masculine and feminine, change their voice types and even allow them to get pregnant regardless of their gender.

The entire Sims Franchise could be banned in these 7 countries

Considering the fact that EA and The Sims Team would rather show support and provide diverse gameplay to millions of players worldwide than to comply to homophobic regional standards, it’s only a matter of time before The Sims 4 and other Sims PC games also get banned in China, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar and Egypt.

The entire Sims Franchise could be banned in these 7 countries

The Sims Mobile, a game which was released worldwide in March 2018 is still not available to Russian App Stores – @TheSimsRU reports. The Sims 4 on PC currently has a 18+ rating in Russia due to diverse gameplay and freedom that players have to create LGBT characters, which Russia thinks is inappropriate for minors. This could be one of the reasons why, 3 months after, the mobile hit which has over 10 million downloads on Google Play still hasn’t been released in this country.
