@TheSimmerAbby Projects can be completed and suck, be okay, or be awesome (based on a few different factors). Sims can also smash and break them. So mean!
— Dave Miotke (@SimGuruNinja) May 17, 2017

The Sims Team has released a trailer for The Sims 4’s fifth Game Pack – The Sims 4 Parenthood!
Via TheSims.com!
Gather around for a family meeting. We have some big things to discuss about the household. Why is that? Well, today we’re thrilled to show off The Sims™ 4 Parenthood Game Pack*, which releases globally for PC and Mac via Origin™ on May 30, 2017.
This is very exciting for us as its been a major community request, which is more, and deeper family focused game play. With toddlers finally in Simmer homes everywhere, we knew this was the perfect time to take a look at your Sim’s home to see which stories you haven’t yet told.
The Sims 4 Parenthood Game Pack adds a few significant features that will change daily life. Your Sim’s offspring will be more ill-behaved than ever, with rebellious teenagers and toddlers who chomp down on their siblings. But don’t worry! The new Parenting Skill gives the adults in the room a way to set these problems upright.
And it doesn’t stop there! Parenting has long term consequences, which leads us to the new Character Values Traits. If your Sims take the time to teach their children good manners, like setting the table, and trying to not burp, swear, or fart, they can grow up with new Traits that will positively affect their lives forever. Or, if they don’t do these things, well, there are Traits with consequences of another stripe…
It isn’t all serious life-changing decisions though. Children will bring home new school projects to work on after class with parents and siblings as well. These create permanent, hilarious objects, like erupting volcanoes and backyard rockets. Future medical professionals can practice their stethescoping skills on teddy bears. Plus, new clothing styles and the perfect household items to really make the home look like, well, the home of your story.
The Sims 4 Parenthood Game Pack is the perfect addition to your Sim’s home that will help you tell new stories that really get to the heart of your Sims. It’s hilarious, serious, touching, and silly, all in one home shaped box. Be sure to check out The Sims 4 Parenthood Game Pack on PC and Mac via Origin on May 30, 2017.

So yeah, The Sims Team uploaded the video teaser for tomorrow’s Family Game Pack announcement (not official name) but the quality of the video they’ve added is not very good so you may not be able to spot all the details. Luckily, The Sims Russia added the video in Full HD resolution, letting you find all the tiny details in the teaser.
The Sims Team has published an official video teaser for the fifth Game Pack for The Sims 4, which should fully be announced tomorrow, following a full trailer release.
Christina Chan added a few concept art pieces that she made for various The Sims 4 titles, including the Toddlers Update, City Living, Vintage Glamour Stuff and Bowling Night Stuff.
As a person who spent a lot of time completing various quests in The Sims FreePlay I was excited to hear about the announcement of The Sims Mobile. There is just something about completing quests that gives me a sense of accomplishment that I don’t usually get with PC Sims games as they offer way too many possiblities without certain goals. Don’t get me wrong, I love the PC portion of the game, but games with certain goals and challenges are what really brings my attention.
You start off in Create A Sim by creating your first Sim. It’s amazing how many customization options you get in this game compared to what we have in The Sims FreePlay (only a few face presets and absolutely no body customization options).There are also plenty of Sim traits that, for now, I found no use of in live mode.
The graphics are amazing compared to other mobile games. The game brings that same charm from The Sims 4, although I don’t quite understand why some Sim townies have huge heads compared to other townies, I guess that’s just the way it is. The world is beautifully decorated and I’m surprised to see active Sims hanging around in each of the neighborhoods, including the venues your Sim visits / works at.
Now, time to talk about the actual gameplay. The big difference with The Sims Mobile is that you only get to play with up to 4 Sims and you only get 1 house to play with and build. Also, unlike waiting / speeding up your PC Sims game to complete actions faster, the only way you can speed up actions in The Sims Mobile is by paying Sim Cash, which are very hard to earn (you get 2 Sim Cash with each level up or you can spend actual money to get Sim Cash if that’s your cup of tea).
Unlike with PC Sims games, needs are spent with interactions and don’t decay with time. There are 4 needs: Energy, Hygiene, Hunger and Fun. Each can be filled by performing certain interactions, usually at home such as listening to the stereo for 3 actual minutes that’ll fill up your Fun need.
The real-time barrier is really noticable once you run out of energy and have to wait your Sim for an hour to finish sleeping. This’ll become less of a problem once you get to control more Sims.
What’s new to this game is that the developers put a really big focus on legacy, family play and herritage. You get to earn unique objects that Sims’ll leave after they pass away, but I have yet to explore that feature as I only got to play this game for 2 days.
Socialization and building relationships plays a huge role in this game too. Your Sim will usually wish to meet new Sims, befriend them or fall in love with them, which wil help you earn XP and lifetime points.
The thing about The Sims Mobile is that you can’t rush things and progress overnight. Things take time and unless you have patience, this game is just not meant for you. Sure, you can spend a ridiculous amount of real money to progress quickly but that just feels like using the motherlode cheat in The Sims PC games.
I still have many gameplay features to check out but I really enjoyed with what I’ve played so far. Sure, the game does not replace the actual Sims experience you get from The Sims 4, but when I really have nothing productive to do or am waiting for someone or something, this game is an enjoyable time filler.
