UPDATE #2: SimGuruDuke said the following about Cats & Dogs coming to Console:

UPDATE: The listings have been removed!

A trusted polish retail website sklep.gram.pl has listed The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs Expansion Pack for Xbox One and PS4!

They also listed a release date, saying that the pack will come out on November 16th. This means that the console version of Cats & Dogs will come out the day before of The Sims 4 Base Game for the consoles, which is set to release on November 17th. The release date could be a placeholder until The Sims Team officially announced the arrival of Cats & Dogs to consoles.

However, one of our readers pointed out the fact that once you click “purchase” the pack will show information that it’s coming out on November 17th:

The price listed below is 159,50 zloty – which matches the $39,99 price.

Create A Pet is so good that it overshadows Create A Sim

The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs’ Create A Pet features are so detailed that they’ve opened up a Pandora’s Box full of questions about the Base Game and Create A Sim!

The announcement of The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs was full of surprises, leaving people curious about the color wheel, the paint tool and all the textures that we can apply to our Pets. However, things took a quick turn after SimGuruLyndsay confirmed that those features are exclusive to Cats and Dogs only:

As you can see, there’s basically an unlimited amount of colors that you can choose to paint your pet. However, there are only 25 skin tones that you can pick for your Sim…

The Create A Style that’s exclusive to pets is not the only thing that’s raising our eyebrows. There’s also heterochromia which lets your cats & dogs have different eye colors for each eye. There are actual people in the world with heterochromia, however that’s only exclusive to Cats and Dogs.

Many simmers feel the same way about Create A Pet and how it’s a shame that most features are not available in Create A Sim:

Some just want to see new features introduced in Create A Sim that could help balance things out:

Many also want to see these features implemented in Build Mode:

Don’t worry – there are plenty of breeds in The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs

One of the many questions that simmers are asking the developers of The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs is “will this breed be included in this Expansion Pack?”. It’s understandable how people want to see their cats / dogs accurately represented in the game but you really shouldn’t worry about that!

SimGuruDaniel addressed this, saying “If you have a common pet breed, it will be in the pack. Even if it isn’t, you can use the tool to make something that looks like it.”.

That definitely seems to be true looking at the screens that Simscampers and press has posted.

Don’t worry – there are plenty of breeds in The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs

One of the new things that The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs is introducing are breed presets – meaning that there are several presets for each breed giving you different colors, different textures and different furs for certain breeds. You’ll of course be able to customize each breed yourself and even save them:

There’s a really crazy rumor about why Burglars are not included in The Sims 4

There’s a really crazy rumor about why Burglars are not included in The Sims 4

The Sims Forum member TOLKIEN, who’s often known for “inside scoops” of his friend that works at EA Sports in Burnaby has another crazy rumor – and this time he’s talking about why burglars are not included in The Sims 4.

According to him, the burglars are not included in the game because it might “trigger” sensitive players. That’s right. As crazy as it might sound, his explanation why they think the new generation of Sims players might not like this feature sounds very possible.

Apparently somebody during design felt that due to the nature of the Sims 4’s focus on the “home space lot”, that a burglar invading said space could feel like a violation to players, including inducing anxiety and possible trigger players who have experienced similar experiences.

Now I pointed out this seemed like a stretch considering previous Sims games had burglars, but my friend pointed out the Sims 4 was made for a new generation, with a team of producers surrounded by people OF that generation who would point out that the invasion of their home or safe place could create feelings of discomfort or possible even triggering. Indirectly I can see his point, I’ve been playing games for a long time and a lot of the stuff in earlier games I’ve played a decade ago would certainly NEVER make the cut in todays politically charged gaming environment.

My friend also pointed out that in “get to work” you investigate crimes, but that’s not the same as “BEING the victim of a crime”.

They’ve certainly had a lot of opportunity to add burglars with various expansions and patches (and who knows we might still get them!) However if you look at the overall goofy nature of much of the Sims 4, I could certainly see some truth in creating a safer, happy experience for sims players. Certainly being the victim of a burglary would be the opposite.

Now HOW much of this was embellishment on my friends part is hard to say, he LOVES to make a point – but still the basics of the rumor are believable – that “burglars” are simply no longer appropriate in a game like the Sims 4 targeting a new generation of players.

Many are not sure why did The Sims Team then allow Vampires to knock on the doors of your household in the middle of the night but that could just be a completely different scenario.

Of course nothing has been confirmed by EA so this is nothing more than a pure rumor (not even speculation as there’s no evidence).

Adding Gallery to The Sims 4 Console “Is Possible”

The Gallery is one of the biggest features in The Sims 4 for PC and the announcement that it won’t be available in the final version of The Sims 4 Console was hard to swallow.

However, SimGuruDuke wanted to reassure that, just like the PC version, The Sims 4 for Consoles is also treated as live service, meaning that the game will get content updates and bug fixes regularly.

He didn’t want to say anything if The Gallery feature for Consoles is being worked on right now but he assured that adding it to The Sims 4 Console “is possible”.

The Sims Mobile: New Features and Improvements! (Version 2.5.0)

The latest The Sims Mobile update brought a ton of new features and improvements to the game. Let’s dig in!

New Intro

New players of The Sims Mobile will be greeted with a short but sweet intro at the beginning! You can check out how it looks like in the video below captured by Arsen Girl Gaming.

Thought Bubbles

FINALLY – Sims in The Sims Mobile now have thoughts! Their thoughts are portrayed by actual emojis of your device. If you’re using Android – Android emojis will appear in the bubbles and vice versa for iOS.

The Sims Mobile: New Features and Improvements! (Version 2.5.0)

Confidence and Risky Actions

This feature is one of the biggest game changers in this update. Players are able to boost their confidence by performing career, hobby or social interactions.

The Sims Mobile: New Features and Improvements! (Version 2.5.0)

With the confidence they gain they’ll be able to perform risky interactions. The benefit of performing risky interactions is that they’ll earn a big amount of event points if they succeed. If they don’t they’ll still get some event points.

The probability of your Sims succeeding in a risky interaction is shown in the stumble / success bar down below. You’ll be able to get better chances of succeeding by performing more event interactions which will level up your confidence.

The Sims Mobile: New Features and Improvements! (Version 2.5.0)

Sims will also react differently to success and failure:

The Good Upbringing Trait

Your babies, toddlers and children now have a much bigger meaning. Taking care of your little ones will eventually trigger a “Bundle of Joy” event option which lasts for 30 minutes.

The Sims Mobile: New Features and Improvements! (Version 2.5.0)

After finishing this event you’ll unlock a new trait for your baby / toddler / child called Good Upbringing.

The Sims Mobile: New Features and Improvements! (Version 2.5.0)

With each Bundle of Joy event you’ll be able to progress and level up the Good Upbringing trait which will make that Sim perform really well at all events once they grow up.

New Attire

There’s some cool new clothing included in this update. Some are ported from The Sims 4 and some are made exclusively for The Sims Mobile!

The Sims Mobile: New Features and Improvements! (Version 2.5.0)

Event Success UI

You’ll now have a complete overview of all items you’ve earned after completing an event.

Apparently you’re still able to claim The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection for free

Simmers on social networks such as Reddit and Facebook are reporting that they’re able to claim The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection through customer support – 3 years after the promo action took place.

It all begain in 2014 in July when EA decided to give out The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection completely free. This offer only lasted for 7 days and because of the short duration of this offer many simmers haven’t been able to redeem their free copy in time.

If you still haven’t gotten your free copy of The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection you may be able to redeem one by contacting EA Support, and here’s how to do it (as told by simmers on Reddit). Please note that not every solution might work and that in some scenarios you have to be persistent because not every person at customer support will be ready to give you the game.

Here are two different methods that you can try out:

  • Contact EA Help on Twitter and ask that you missed out on this opportunity.
  • Contact EA Help using their website. Make sure you select the following:
    • The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection > PC > Codes and promotions > Promotion questions > Select contact option > Chat
    • Some may require proof that you have a physical version of the game as a solid background to give you the game for free. Make sure that you attach an image of any of your Sims 2 games in a physical format.
      • Some may not require that.
    • Some may require proof of a digital game code found in any of your Sims 2 game boxes.
      • Some, once again, may not require that.

We hope you succeed in claiming your free Ultimate Collection game!
