UPDATE: It’s been confirmed by one of our readers that the depth of water puddles was present since at least the Get Together patch came out!
The search for hints, clues and newly inserted pieces of code with each patch is part of the “sport” of playing the Sims for many people. Here, is one more clue. The Sims 4 now has navigable water outside of pools, baths and hot tubs. On the streets of the Willow Creek neighborhood that is home to Goths, there have long been puddles. Indicative of maybe a bout of rain before your sim arrived or perhaps a sprinkler system. While they have always provided a cosmetic bit of realism, these puddles now provide depth in addition. There is now routable water in the Sims 4!
I sent my sim Reg and his son Max out to play in the puddles. As you can see in the pictures below the water is approximately ankle deep near the curb. While the second picture also shows a graphical illusion of the water growing more swallow as it spreads outward from there.
So, what do you think? Is this indicative of anything? Swimming in lakes and rivers, Seasons, Pets, Cars, Toddlers? Oh wait scratch that last one. I forgot to update my auto list of rumored additions-lol! Whatever it may ultimately tie into, it’s one more indication that the Sims 4 is still fluxing and growing even when it’s not officially announced. And even when it takes us a bit of time to notice it. Comment below with what you think this means. Then go in game to check it out for yourself! Also, keep watching the Sims Community for more news. As promised by the Maxis team, it has been an exciting year and we still have the second half to go. Thanks for reading!

SimGuruGraham answered many questions on Twitter about the upcoming Stuff Pack for The Sims 4 – Fitness Stuff. Check out what he has to say:
Sorry, no new radio station in Fitness Stuff. Those earbuds will play anything and everything when it comes to the existing stations though.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) June 10, 2017
That’s a great idea! We didn’t do that in Fitness Stuff, but I’m jotting a note down to remember that should it come up again.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) June 10, 2017
There’s a chance your Sim gets blasted by one of the fire jets and catches on fire due to it. Fire climbing is a separate mode on the wall.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) June 10, 2017
Hah, no. We wanted the earbuds to be fairly unobtrusive, so it plays nicely when multitasking with socializing.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) June 10, 2017
Nope. Normal Stuff Pack marketing. We announced early since the pack will be playable at #EAPlay this weekend!
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) June 10, 2017
Kids, no. Teens and older, yes. We focused on the older ages since all the game’s workout equipment is for those ages. Kids can use earbuds.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) June 10, 2017
No, Fitness Stuff focuses on three new features… the treadmill rock climbing wall, earbuds, and workout videos.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) June 10, 2017
Yes, they can tune into any radio station. You place them in your Sim’s inventory, and use them by clicking on them, or on your Sim.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) June 10, 2017
It’s a new version of the corner tub from base game, so no woohooing in it. Mosaic is probably “trailer magic” like you guessed 😉
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) June 10, 2017
Keep in mind the size/price of a Stuff Pack. Fitness Stuff’s existence doesn’t shut the door on other fitness features in future packs.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) June 10, 2017
The workout videos are a single Sim interaction – they actually follow along to the workout shown on the TV. No group classes.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) June 10, 2017
There’s a hidden rock climbing skill to help your Sim improve over time. Using the rock wall counts towards your Sim’s fitness skill though.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) June 10, 2017
You can set record endurance times on each of the rock wall’s different climbs. You can then challenge and conquer other Sim’s times.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) June 10, 2017
You unlock new climbing challenge difficulties by completing the previous difficulty level. It isn’t gated by the Sim’s skill.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) June 10, 2017
The earbuds have the same interactions as the stereos do, so yes – you can select the radio station, change volume, skip a track, etc.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) June 10, 2017
The Sims Mobile team issued a new update for Android and iOS devices on June 6th 2017, addressing a few bugs and making some improvements. The biggest changes are the new party type, premium packs with new items and certain benefits, new hobby and the legacy score counter.
Let’s take a look at the new features:
There are new premium packs that you can purchase for real money in the featured section. There are 3 new packs to choose from:
Your can now throw concert parties! You’ll get better party benefits if you purchase a dance floor, microphone and a DJ booth from build mode.
Sims can now participate in the piano hobby! However, unlike other 4 hobbies that you can unlock by leveling up this one can be unlocked exclusively by getting the Maestro’s Grand Piano Heirloom.
As you place more objects, purchase new clothing and collect heirlooms you’ll advance your legacy score.
Origin is having an Infinite Gaming Sale where you can save up to 75% on select video games. The Sims 4 games are included in this offer, including Base Game, Expansion Packs and bundles.
For more information click the image below! Offer ends on June 20th at 10AM PDT.
SimGuruGraham went on The Sims Forums to talk about the upcoming The Sims 4 Fitness Stuff Pack. Not only did he reveal that this pack comes with 3 new objects that come with unique gameplay but he also explained why some objects that we’ve seen in previous Sims games are hard to make. Here’s what he said:
There are three new features included in The Sims 4 Fitness Stuff. Obviously the treadmill rock climbing wall is the star of the pack. In addition, you’ll also get the new earbuds, which let your Sim listen to music anywhere – no matter what they’re doing. Finally, the workout videos let your Sim follow along to exercise routines for power sculpting, or plumboomba dancing.
Question: Does a Sim going back and forth on a swingset really eat up more animation budget than the multiple exaggerated animations of the rock wall?
Yep, it sure does. Same goes for lounge chairs. Same goes for picnic blankets. Those are all objects that would require different Sim “postures” – which are essentially the base pose that we animate Sims from while using an object. These objects are also ones where we’d want Sims to be able to multitask with socialization, and a new posture would require a ton of animation work to support socializing. While supporting multitasking with socializing would be the bulk of the work, there are some other animation issues we’d need to solve for swings specifically that take it out of the realm of things we’d consider in a Stuff Pack.
EA confirmed to us that The Sims 4 Fitness Stuff Pack will be playable at this year’s EA Play event in Hollywood which’ll take place from June 10th to June 12th. You’ll be able to check out the pack at the FanFest area of the event along with The Sims Mobile.

Fitness Simmers rejoice; The Sims™ 4 Fitness Stuff* is arriving on 20th June, and it’s all about embodying a more active lifestyle.
Soon, your athletically inclined Sims, or those just looking for a reason to get off the sofa, can take on a new challenge with the rock climbing treadmill. Yep, you read that right, a rock climbing treadmill! This new piece of equipment will give your Sim an intense workout that allows them to lose weight, while simultaneously building muscle. As your Sim becomes more experienced at bouldering, they can attempt increasingly difficult climbs, as well as compete against others to set high scores.
Is the rock climbing treadmill a bit daunting for your clumsy Sim? No worries! Sims can now enjoy new workout videos with your choice of exercise routine to make them sweat at their local gym, or from the comfort and privacy of their own home. If building is more your thing, you can also revamp the local gym or build out a fitness studio with nature-inspired objects and décor that will fill your Sim with vigor.
Looking to hit the gym but don’t want to be distracted by the locals? Pop in the brand new earbuds and crank the music to get your Sim in a muscle-burning mood. These versatile earbuds go wherever your Sim goes, without disturbing other Sims in your vicinity. But what about when you get home and want to relax after an energetic work out? We’ve got you covered. There are new objects available to make your Sim’s home a relaxing sanctuary, including a set of items for your bathroom to make it the perfect place for a post-workout soak.
Half the appeal of working out is wearing chic fitness apparel; you want to be the envy of your fellow gym rats after all. Enjoy a collection of vibrant athleisure apparel that will inspire motion, and motivate your Sim to strut around town. Just because you may have skipped leg day doesn’t mean you can’t show off those trendy new yoga pants!
For Sims looking to add a new workout to their regimen, or those just seeking a gateway to getting healthy, there’s plenty in The Sims 4 Fitness Stuff to give you a complete workout when it launches on 20th June.
Electronic Arts has updated their Service Updates page with a notice stating that they’ll be shutting down The Sims 4 Gallery Smartphone App on August 11th, 2017.
They also said that they’ll be shutting down the following premium mobile games:
It’s probably for the best considering these The Sims 3 games were full of bugs and issues for years.
