The Sims 4: “A great deal of more content coming to PC players this year”

Andrew Wilson, CEO for Electronic Arts has shared remarks for the Fiscal Year of 2018, which lasted from April 2017 to April 2018. He talked about the growth of The Sims 4 on both PC and Console and mentioned that there’s a bright future for PC players this year. Check out all the important remarks which mention The Sims below:

  • Our Sims community spans across generations and platforms, with more than 80 million active Sims players across PC and mobile in FY18. Our Sims 4 community continues to grow nearly four years after launch, and we have a great deal more content coming to our PC players this year. Alongside the ongoing success of The Sims FreePlay, we’ve had strong early growth in the player base for The Sims Mobile, giving us two games on mobile delivering the breath of experiences that Sims fans are looking for.
  • Live services net bookings were up 31% year on year, to $679 million. The increase was driven by Ultimate Team, The Sims 4 and Battlefield 1.
  • We expect live services to grow 10% to 15%, led by Ultimate Team, The Sims 4 expansion packs for PC and console versions of the game, and by growth in our subscriptions business.
  • With regards to our mobile business, The Sims Mobile launched just before the year started, and we have two games coming in the second half of the year. Thus, we expect our mobile business to grow strongly, of the order of 15-20%, led by The Sims Mobile, FIFA Mobile, Star Wars: Rise to Power, and an unannounced title.

The Sims Mobile has updated Home Ticket values

0

The Sims Mobile recently performed an update on the value of Home Tickets – specifically Super Home Tickets (blue ones) and Luxe Home Tickets (purple ones).

5 Super Home Tickets are now valued for 150 SimCash, while 5 Luxe Home Tickets are valued for 575 SimCash.

The Sims Mobile has updated Home Ticket values

The value update has also changed how much Home Tickets you can earn after each Hobby / Career Event, giving you very rare possibilities to earn only 1 ticket per event.

However, it seems that not many objects rely on these tickets other than the ones which are truly expensive and valuable for your home.

The Sims 4 was announced 5 years ago

1

On May 6th, 2013, The Sims Team has announced that they’re working on the latest installment in The Sims Franchise – The Sims 4.

The announcement of The Sims 4 didn’t carry much information, other than the fact that it would “celebrate the heart and soul of The Sims”. The team also released a rough logo of The Sims 4, as well as a cryptic render of two characters who weren’t included in the final version of the game and yeah – Bella Goth.

The Sims 4 was announced 5 years ago

The Sims 4’s announcement followed a similar pattern of game announcements that were made for previous installments of The Sims as well. The Sims 2 was announced on May 5th, 2003 and The Sims 3 was announced 5 years later on March 19th, 2008. Considering it’s been 5 years since The Sims 4’s announcement, is it reasonable to expect a new installment for The Sims being announced in the coming period?

This Mod gives functionality to the Elevators from The Sims 4 City Living

Were you disappointed after finding out that the elevators in The Sims 4 City Living don’t have any functionality and only served “decorative” purposes for apartments in San Myshuno?

Modder LittleMsSam brought elevators to life and gave them the abilty to be placed anywhere. This means that, with this mod, you’ll be able to have up to 10 elevators in your home to travel between any stories on your lot. Stairs will not be required for the elevator placement meaning that you can fully modernize your lot with elevators.

One thing that the modder didn’t include with this mod are the new animations, meaning that Sims will fade when entering and exiting the elevator, just like they do with the current elevators in San Myshuno apartments.

To install this mod simply extract the .zip package to Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods folder. Make sure you have Mods / CC enabled in your game options!

NOTE: For some reason both City Living Expansion Pack and Jungle Adventure Game Pack are required for this mod to function properly.

Build your own The Sims 4 Bundles on Origin

Origin’s latest addition lets you build your own Bundle for The Sims 4! This gives you the ability to purchase more Sims games for a much cheaper price. Here’s how to do it:

If you don’t own The Sims 4 Base Game

If you’re just starting off your Sims 4 Collection and want to get a jump ahead, you’ll be able to do so by selecting The Sims 4 Base Game and selecting 1 Expansion Pack of your choice, giving you a 35% off discount on the whole price!

NOTE: People who don’t own The Sims 4 Base Game and want to create their bundle can only do so with a Base Game + 1 Expansion Pack. You’ll need to own The Sims 4 Base Game in order to bundle up a Stuff Pack, Game Pack and an Expansion Pack together.

Build your own The Sims 4 Bundles on Origin

If you own The Sims 4 Base Game

Owners of The Sims 4 Base Game will be able to bundle up 1 Expansion Pack, 1 Game Pack and 1 Stuff Pack of their liking, giving them a discount of $20 on the total sum.

NOTE: You can ONLY build a bundle with 1 unique EP, GP or SP. You won’t be able to build an exclusive GP + SP, EP + GP or EP + SP bundle.

FOR EXAMPLE: You’ll be able to bundle up The Sims 4 Get Together, The Sims 4 Dine Out and The Sims 4 Movie Hangout. You WON’T be able to bundle up The Sims 4 Get Together and The Sims 4 Movie Hangout or vice versa with the Dine Out Game Pack because 3 unique Pack types are required to build a bundle.

If you own all The Sims 4 Packs

Sorry, there won’t be any opportunities for you. The ability to gift someone else a Custom Sims 4 Bundle is not available at the moment.

You can now have a Golden Bathroom in The Sims Mobile

10

The Sims Mobile’s latest update added a few more objects to the game which cannot be purchased directly from Build Mode.

You can find the 3 new golden bathroom items in the featured section of The Sims Mobile on the left side of the Simoleons status of your household. Unlike most exclusive items in the Featured section that can be purchased for SimCash, these items only require the Super Home Tickets which can be earned easily through Career and Hobby Events.

Here are the prices for each item:

  • Royal Flush Bathtub – 400 Super Home Tickets
  • Royal Flush Toilet – 125 Super Home Tickets
  • Royal Flush Vanity – 70 Super Home Tickets

After purchasing these items you’ll be able to find them in the Household Inventory in Build Mode. Make sure you take advantage of this offer because it only lasts for the next 7 days.

Here are the most (and least) favorite Expansion Packs for The Sims 4

Over the last 4 years we’ve got 4 different Expansion Packs for The Sims 4, with 2 Expansion Packs being released in 2015 (Get to Work & Get Together) and only 1 Expansion Pack being released per year (City Living in 2016 and Cats & Dogs in 2017). These Expansion Packs managed to add new and different experiences to the game – from becoming a top-class surgeon to taking care of pets that have a mind of their own.

We asked members of Sims Community Social to give their opinions and choose 1 Expansion Pack that they really like. Down below you can see the results from least favorite to most favorite Expansion Pack for The Sims 4.

This extremely blurry photo could be from the upcoming Sims 4 Pack

Hello and welcome to one of the biggest speculation games in the history of The Sims 4! Today we’re playing “Guess What’s In This Really Blurry Photo”


All jokes aside, it’s time to get speculating on what the photo shown down below could be about.

Voice-over artist Cia Court has been spending some time at The Sims Studio recently, probably working on the next Pack for The Sims 4. She shared a photo of her being in a booth recording during her session. At first, you don’t see much other than a developer editing Cia’s voice and a diagram drawn on the back.

But, look clooser…

Closer…

THERE!

This extremely blurry photo could be from the upcoming Sims 4 Pack

The photo pinned on the board shows a Sim holding up an object with a really vibrant background. Well, at least that’s what I see.

Whatever it is, it looks very Sims-like and could be a very blurry preview of the upcoming Pack for The Sims 4!
