SimGuruGraham shared an image of a rough prototype of the new gameplay objects that come with The Sims 4 Eco Living Stuff.
An early prototype of laundry is taking shape! Clothes can now be taken through a basic laundry flow. Can you tell which object is which? pic.twitter.com/UaSyMLwdHM

Thanks 😉 We’re planning on having the Sim hang the laundry up on the line by hand.

That’s the wash tub, it’s shaping up nicely 🙂

FreeSO is getting its biggest update this week!
The latest installment of Sims Online’s reincarnation called FreeSO will let you play with other simmers with similar Sims 1 graphics – only this time in 3D!
Three years ago, any chance of anyone reviving The Sims Online looked very slim. Any existing project seemed to either fall off in activity, be a hoax in the first place, or burn hopeful fans with controversial donations for a server that was never meant to be. Despite all the ruckus, three years ago is when we got the first glimmer of hope that TSO would be back again – a convincing UI recreation of the initial few screens of the game including Create A Sim, with a lot of backend work to load important game content. Developed by Afr0 and ddfczm, this recreation was called Project Dollhouse, and it’s what inspired me to work towards this same goal. Despite exciting developments in SimAntics emulation by me and ddfczm, with ingame footage of TSO objects somewhat working, this community stayed at only a few members – nobody believed anymore in TSO ever returning. Our community slowly grew as I implemented the online sandbox mode and split into FreeSO, and people finally started believing that it was possible. The launch into beta was a spectacular surprise.
Today, we’ve almost done it. It has been a heck of a long journey, and finally people don’t have to believe in something anymore – it’s right here. A fully re-implemented TSO client and server is available for all to use, with source available so it can be developed further by anyone in the future, maybe tens of years from now. The ability to play TSO will never truly disappear, thanks to the efforts of its community.
Wonder how it all looks like in motion? Check out the video below and read their latest blog post HERE!
SimGuruGraham gave us a first look at some of the new items that are coming with The Sims 4 Eco Living Stuff – a community Stuff Pack which we all helped build together throughout this year.
As you can see on the panel on the right there are some new clothing items and some that still need to be created by the development team.
The Sims 4 Standard Edition for PS4 is currently being sold on Amazon for just $36,40, which is 27% off from the original, $49,99 price. It’s unknown for how will this limited-time sale last but one thing is certain: if you’ve been wanting this game for your PS4 now’s the time to pre-order it!

As we reported on a few days ago it was rumoured and then seemingly confirmed on Twitter by SimGuruHouts that we’d be getting new roof types in game, today they’ve been well and truly shown off.
New roof stuff! pic.twitter.com/wrfUUtDkgc

As you can see from the image we’re getting pentagonal, heptagonal, octagonal and round roofs added, but there’s more. The selected roof clearly has way more white spheres and arrows around it than we have now, this could mean that the way roofs can be manipulated has been vastly improved.
But that’s not all, as you can see from the image there is a hidden surprise, we’ve had hipped roofs since the launch of The Sims 4 but they were awkward and restricted as they lacked the ability to have their eaves altered, it appears this is no longer the case. The image shows a hipped roof with its eaves pulled right down.
These new features will most likely be released as a free update before the new Cats & Dogs expansion pack is released.

If you got The Sims 4 Toddler Stuff Pack that was just recently released you probably have noticed the ball pit. If you didn’t notice, the ball pit brings very low textures and resolutions which really don’t fit with the rest of the game. Although a Simmer provided a detailed explanation on why they made the ball pit like that we still don’t know the full explanation behind the low resolution.
However, we’re not here to talk about what’s wrong with the ball pit as we already covered that. We’re here to give you some of the funniest tweets by the community about the ball pit!

August 21st to August 27th, 2017 could be one of the biggest weeks for The Sims Franchise!
We witnessed a huge announcement of The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs followed by huge news scattered around Twitter, news articles and videos. The Sims 4 Toddler Stuff Pack was finally released and we shared a couple of overviews, as well as our opinions on this Stuff Pack. SimGuruGraham wasn’t shy to share any details regarding The Sims 4 Eco Living Community Stuff Pack which is coming out sometime in 2018. We received some new information about The Sims 4 for Consoles as well as some new screens. The Sims Mobile finally got a more specific release time frame and FreePlay released a huge update letting you send your Sims to high school!
Here’s a recap of all news and articles posted in the last 7 days:
On this day a whopping 17 years ago the first ever expansion pack in The Sims series was launched, The Sims: Livin’ Large (Livin’ It Up in Europe) was launched and expanded upon one of the best selling games in history. The basic principle of the pack was to give the sims in our games much more to do!
The pack added loads of new objects to the game, the Concoctanation Station allowed sims to create various potions with different effects like filling needs and breaking objects. Another is the Antique Lamp, when rubbed this object would produce a genie who would grant wishes, the Vibromatic Heart Bed allowed our sims to finally perform the famous woohoo interaction with the chance to bring new life to your sims lives.
Even more NPC’s were introduced to the game, the Grim Reaper made his debut as the creature who came to our screens when a sim sadly passes away. The Tragic clown also joined the line up making sure he annoyed every single sim who wasn’t enjoying themselves. Not just those two but Servo, Santa Claus and of course the Genie came to the game.
As well as all this the pack also added loads of new careers and build items were added in to round out the game and multiple neighbourhoods in a single game, let us know what you thought of the pack in the comments section.
Early access to beta provided by EA / Firemonkeys!
Class Clown Hobby is a limited-time hobby which lasts for 7 days after completing the Teacher’s Pet Quest.
You begin by clicking the notification cloud icon in the first, English classroom. This hobby revolves around completing tasks that last for 30 hours and 30 minutes. After completing each task in each classroom you unlock a certain collectible, or master as they call it in The Sims FreePlay.
As any hobby in The Sims FreePlay you have certain levels that you obtain by performing hobby interactions. Please note that hobby levels and “masters” that you obtain with each interaction have no correlation.
Moving on to the main thing about Class Clown Hobby and that’s unlocking the classrooms. To unlock each classroom you’ll need 3 certain masters. The thing about these masters is that there’s always a chance that you might obtain a master that you already have (the ones that are orange are rare meaning that you might go through a lot of trial and error to obtain them).
If you’re not to keen on waiting 3 hours and 30 minutes for your Sims to finish their interaction you can speed up the process by purchasing a random master. There’s a risk here as well that you might obtain a master you already have.
Unlocking the Home Economics Room can be done by performing the English Clown interaction and unlocking these 3 masters:
Unlocking the Computer Lab Room can be done by performing the Home Ec Clown interaction and unlocking these 3 masters:
Unlocking the Science Lab Room can be done by performing the Computer Lab Clown and unlocking these 3 masters:
You have one more set to finish in order to complete this hobby and unlock the second floor! You can do that by performing the Science Lab Clown interaction and unlocking the following masters:
Completing this event will grant you access to the second floor, which you can begin unlocking:
If you manage to complete this hobby in 7 days or else you’ll unlock cheerleading outfits.
Sims who decide to join the routine in the Downtown High School sports field will automatically be dressed up into the cheerleading outfits:
Hey Simmers!
Welcome to the fourth installment of a series that I’m going to call ‘Creative Construction’ while building in The Sims 4.
Custom content exists and is a huge part of the way some people play the game, which help to add specific objects not available in The Sims 4 to date. That’s great, but what about people who don’t want to mod in new meshes and want to keep their game strictly vanilla? Well, you’ve come to the right place! Each post in this series is a mini-tutorial which will show you how to combine items and create something not available in the game!
Okay, so this isn’t exactly a functional sandbox, however your toddler will be able to slide into the “sand” and can play with their cute little toys.
Some people were a little disappointed that we didn’t receive a sandbox in the Toddler Stuff Pack, so this one might do the job for those who prefer an unmodded game.
You’ll need:
Let’s get started!
Make sure that the cheat bb.moveobjects is enabled
You’ll need to add a slight foundation to the lot, so keep in mind if you plan to build any other structures.
Grab your wall tool and create a rectangular room shape. It can be whatever size you want!
Replace the walls with the ‘Fence for Window Shopping’ fence. This one’s the super tiny one.
Apply whatever foundation you want to the box.
Delete the floor inside the rectangle. You’ll be left with a raised frame of foundation. This is where you’ll select the sand terrain paint of your choosing!
Place the slide right over one of the sides so that it’s not clipping. Add some toys and viola! You’re done!
Toddlers slide down without any issue (as long as nothing is blocking the slide end, so be sure your sandbox is wide enough). They can also climb over the side of the foundation without stairs as long as the foundation is low enough.
It’s a pretty basic tutorial, but it’s a pretty cute addition to any toddler park!
Check out my Toddler Fun-Park on the gallery which features this sandbox here!

The Sims FreePlay is back again with another great update – this time letting your Sims go to high school!
For this article we’ll be focusing on the first part of this update and that’s the Teacher’s Pet Quest, which focuses on building the high school, cleaning it and sending your Sims on various assignments.
You begin the quest by building the Downtown High Shool in the Downtown Area:
Here’s what you need to know about this quest before starting:
Let’s begin with the quest and how long it takes to complete each assignment:
TIP: Make sure you have multiple Sims available to clean for faster results.
TIP: If you have 10 Sims who don’t have any assignments, pair them up so that you can complete this assignment in 5 hours instead of 25 or less.
You’ll unlock the Class Clown Hobby which lasts for 7 days. With this hobby you’ll be able to unlock all classrooms in Downtown High School.
Completing the Teacher’s Pet quest in 8 days or less will grant you the Teacup Pet Pig award! You can claim it at the Pet Store for free, but if you decide to ever buy one again you’ll need 100 Lifetime Points.
SimGuruGraham shared a rough concept art sketch of the clothesline for The Sims 4 Eco Living Community Stuff Pack.
