The Sims 4: Height Slider Mod Now Available
Luumia Sims came up with a feature that everyone’s been wanting in The Sims 4 – the Height Slider!
The Height Slider Mod allows you to make your Sims smaller (and taller) than the original height which is currently available in the game. All you have to do is click on your Sim’s throat and push up and down to modify your Sim’s height.
Of course, since this mod is a huge game changer it’ll influence the way your Sims will perform animations. Interactions between Sims with different heights might not look so good, however conversations seem to go normal as Sims will still know to look into each other’s eyes.
The modder also came up with a mod to change your Sim’s neck height, as well as modify your Sim’s hip shape.
Like all mods, you install this mod by pasting the .package files into your Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods folder and enabling Mods / CC in your game options.

I know you all saw this in the seasons trailer. But really, isn’t this the best icon yet in a Sims game? pic.twitter.com/QrcPlQNL3v

Kids can come to your door trick or treating.
— George Pigula (@SimGuruGeorge) June 9, 2018
This. You create your own spooky day. We give you the tools. And in classic Sims design mantra, make no judgements when you combine trick or treating with streaking.
— George Pigula (@SimGuruGeorge) June 9, 2018
Holidays appear for all sims in the world across your entire save. You can run multiple saves with different custom holidays.
— George Pigula (@SimGuruGeorge) June 9, 2018
Yep. Kids stop by your house. If you have the candy bowl from spooky stuff they can take candy from there. If you dont have spooky stuff they knock on your door and you have to trick or treat them.
— George Pigula (@SimGuruGeorge) June 9, 2018
No. That is so untrue. You can only change it to 1, 2 and ‘4’ week increments. 😉
— George Pigula (@SimGuruGeorge) June 9, 2018
There are icicle decorations for the house.
— George Pigula (@SimGuruGeorge) June 10, 2018
If you move Father Winter into your house you can alter his clothing. Just not while he is on the job.
He does hand out gifts to your Sims.
— George Pigula (@SimGuruGeorge) June 11, 2018
Yep. You can celebrate Holidays while on vacation. So if you wanted to you could recreate Día de los Muertos in Selvadorada if you wanted. pic.twitter.com/0AbbAO50j2
— George Pigula (@SimGuruGeorge) June 11, 2018
Created holidays are stored in the save. When you create one it will repeat each year until you delete it.
If you switch saves you will only have the default holidays until you create more.
— George Pigula (@SimGuruGeorge) June 11, 2018
Yes. It only appears if you have a pack that sells fireworks.
— George Pigula (@SimGuruGeorge) June 11, 2018
The calendar is your best bet. But, the weather can be unpredictable. And different worlds have different rules. Like Selvadorada being too warm for snow.
— George Pigula (@SimGuruGeorge) June 12, 2018
Yep. 1, 2, and 4 week seasons.
— George Pigula (@SimGuruGeorge) June 13, 2018
If you don’t have a thermostat it’ll be either cool or warm inside, but won’t be lethal. Still might not be comfy though, so your sim might appreciate some heating / cooling tech 🙂
— Emory (@SimGuruEmory) June 12, 2018
The calendar doesn’t show upcoming festivals, as those are surprises when you live in San Myshuno!
— Emory (@SimGuruEmory) June 12, 2018
Since the calendar is heavily tied to seasons, weather, & holidays, it’s going to be available only with Seasons. Sorry if that’s disappointing 🙁
— Emory (@SimGuruEmory) June 13, 2018
Yes, if it’s freezing out fishing isn’t available. Fishes need some time to warm up 🐟
— Emory (@SimGuruEmory) June 13, 2018
Can you maybe answer that question I asked a few days ago already? That would be amazing, thank you:-) pic.twitter.com/IM9Pv0XyWv
— ☀☔Bellguru8☔☀ (@Bellguru8) June 7, 2018
It doesn’t affect Sixam or Sylvan Glades.

The Sims 4 Premier Edition is coming with Origin Access Premier
EA has announced the Origin Access Premier during their EA Play Press Conference, allowing PC players to get their hands on the newest PC titles such as Anthem, FIFA 19, Battlefield 5 and more for a price of $14,99 per month. There’s much more games included in Origin Access Premier which is releasing this summer.
One of the games included is The Sims 4 Premier, which features The Sims 4 Base Game Digital Deluxe Edition, The Sims 4 Kids Room Stuff Pack and The Sims 4 Dine Out Game Pack. All of these will be available with a $14,99 month / $99,99 year subscription, along with other games.
For all you PC Simmers, Origin Access Premier** was announced at EA PLAY. With Origin Access Premier, you get unlimited access to The Sims 4 Deluxe Edition, The Sims 4 Dine Out, and The Sims 4 Kids Room Stuff. You’ll also get over 100 other great PC titles to play as much as you want, and you’ll get new games before they release. No trial, no waiting, just play.
Note: If you own The Sims 4, upgrading to The Sims 4 Premier edition may affect your save files. Going forward, your saved games will only work with versions of The Sims 4 that have access to the same Packs that are available in The Sims 4 Premier edition. If your Access Premier membership expires, you may need to purchase additional Packs to load any of your new or updated game saves. For more information, please view the FAQs.
The Sims 4 Console: SimGuru Q&A About Upcoming Packs and The Gallery
SimGurus who are working on The Sims 4 for Xbox One and PS4 have answered a few questions on Twitter regarding the upcoming packs for The Sims 4 Console as well as what they have in plan for The Gallery on Consoles.
To be clear. This is not the full gallery feature. Our team has made it possible to grab pc gallery content and patch it into the console version so you have more options. It is the first step in a longer journey
— Michael Duke (@SimGuruDuke) June 10, 2018
We are only taking a handful of creations from the PC/Mac Gallery and bringing them to console. They will appear under My Library just like the Maxis created content. This is in no way intended to replace Gallery on the console, that is something we are still working on.
— SimGuruLegacy (@SimGuruLegacy) June 13, 2018
Correct, it gives console players more pre-builds to play with. There currently isn’t a way for creators to know they are featured in console unless they load up the console version of TS4.
— SimGuruLegacy (@SimGuruLegacy) June 13, 2018
This will not impact your library space at all. We know that is tight 🙂
— Michael Duke (@SimGuruDuke) June 10, 2018
None of the selected creations include CC. As you say, consoles don’t support mods so we curate each creation before we bring it over to the console. We are starting small with our first run of these items to get the process right and more importantly, see how you like it.
— SimGuruLegacy (@SimGuruLegacy) June 11, 2018
Not quite. There is no downloading. We have taken some favorite creations from the community and put them into the console build. So only Maxis can add to your library for now
— Michael Duke (@SimGuruDuke) June 11, 2018
On average one per month but there is not a release every month since we often release multiple packs on the same day.
— Michael Duke (@SimGuruDuke) June 12, 2018
The same time does not seem likely since console takes more time to release than pc but we hope to bring them closer together.
— Michael Duke (@SimGuruDuke) June 13, 2018
We have never said that we cannot do it. We have also never said we won’t. I have confirmed that is is something we want to do and we are working on it. No dates to share for launch yet though.
— Michael Duke (@SimGuruDuke) June 13, 2018
I cannot confirm future release dates. The extra content from PC in your console gallery is coming this summer
— Michael Duke (@SimGuruDuke) June 13, 2018
You can send to either or both of us. I still work with people on Sims 4 console every week. I also still care a lot about what we do on console and I like interacting with our community.

The Sims Team is teasing a “Summer of The Sims”
UPDATE: The Sims Team has elaborated more on what we can expect during “Summer of The Sims”. They’ve also shared a web page dedicated exclusively to it!
Turn up the heat for the Summer of the Sims! Keep an eye on this page for new blogs and content throughout the summer. Check out the fan art kit, read about the climate family, and get a sneak peek of Seasons now.
The Sims Team released a new Fan Art Kit which includes assets of The Sims 4 games, The Sims Mobile and The Sims FreePlay that you are free to use for creation of your Fansite, YouTube and other type of content on the internet.
What’s interesting about this Fan Art Kit is that all of the folders for The Sims games have been marked under the “Summer of The Sims” name.
We don’t know anything else beyond this information, but considering that Seasons is just around the corner that leaves plenty of space for new announcements and releases throughout the rest of the summer. There’s also an information that The Sims 4 Get Together & Laundry Day are also being hinted for a Console release, which means that they’re not that far away from being released!
Are you excited for the Summer of The Sims?

The Sims 4 Seasons: More Information From EA Play
With EA Play now in full swing many fans have had the opportunity to get hands on with the new Seasons expansion for The Sims 4. We have rounded up all the information into one handy article for you.
Seasons
As originally reported by the Brazilian fan site SimClub, they have shared a couple of screenshots as well as a few bits of information that they gathered from the short time of playing the upcoming Seasons expansion for The Sims 4.
- As soon as we enter CAS and click to play, we can choose the season.
- When we choose the season, for example spring, we do not see the season ready immediately, only in the course of the game is that flowers bloom.
- That is, on the first day of the season, we still see remnants of the previous season… like trees still without leaves.
- The snow, although it has no depth, has texture, so apparently it does not have the same appearance as a field tincture.

Scout Badges
But that’s not all. Xmiramira also shared a couple of images the of the new Scout Badges on her Snapchat (thank you Kai for the screenshots). Also Mod The Sims user Hiabara shared some more details on Mod The Sims.
From what we know, your Sims will earn their Scout badges through completing certain tasks.
Snow
The ever so lovely RoryPlays_ shared a quick little tweet showcasing snow falling in the game and it looks so magical!
It’s snowing at EA Play! Standing here playing #TS4Seasons and it’s AAAMAAAAAAZING!!!

A Quick Overview
As well as what we have already mentioned above fans who have attended EA Play have shared their experiences with the expansion and one user on Reddit who goes by the name of BTEAMNORTH
I am actually really pleased with the way weather turned out. The effects are beautiful.
I love love the calendar too. 😍 I did notice that if you plan an event from your phone, it doesn’t give you the option to plan in the future. (Which is dumb) maybe it’ll be patched? I’m so excited to build. REALLY excited to add The Sims 4 Seasons to my game. 😬😬😬😬
Disappointed that there are virtually no new wall or floor options.. but those GLASS ROOFS. 😍😍😍😍😍
THEY’RE PERFECT.
If anyone has any questions, let me know! I dont think I saw everything, but I enjoyed what I saw!
— Someone asked if I had a Twitter: @BBTeamNorth
Has this got you excited for The Sims 4 Seasons? We can’t wait to be able play the expansion.
The Sims 4 Console: The Gallery Is Coming!
SimGuruDuke has shared on Twitter that The Gallery will be coming to The Sims 4 on Console’s in the next patch! Although it looks as though it is not the full Gallery that PC users have access to currently it is still a great start for console players. Hopefully the full version of the Gallery will be added in the future.
Wanted to share a preview of a new thing coming to console in the next update. Thx to @catloverplayer for the clever idea. Also, tag @SimGuruLegacy if you have suggestions for other content to bring over. pic.twitter.com/tcOKAUmZvI
