The Sims 4 Vampires: Some of the new CAS Items
The latest gameplay trailer for The Sims 4 Vampires Game Pack brought a small look into Create A Sim and what it brings. Down below you can see a breakdown by sims-blog.de of some of the new items shown in the trailer, including eye colors, face details and other items.
The Sims 4: Toddler Reward Traits
Beside the 8 Traits that you can pick in Create A Sim, Toddlers also get to earn 2 Reward Traits that you will transfer in the Children life stage. Here’s how you can earn them!
Happy Toddler
The Happy Toddler trait is rewarded to a child who just aged up from a toddler life stage who had all 5 toddlers skills (Imagination, Communication, Thinking, Movement and Potty) to at least Level 3.
Your Sim got a good jump on skills as a toddler. This helps them gain all skills a bit faster.
Top-Notch Toddler
The Top-Notch Toddler is a reward trait rewarded to a child who just aged up from a toddler life stage who had all 5 toddler skills maxed out to Level 5 (except for potty skill whose maximum is level 3).
Your Sim got such a strong jump on skills as a toddler, they improve all other skills extra fast.
The great thing about these reward traits is that the effort you put into your toddlers will influence the gameplay of your Sim as he/she grows up – meaning that, if they have any of these 2 traits, their skills will build faster than usual.

The Sims 4: Relationship Boost Week coming this Valentines!
Remember the finding we posted a few weeks ago regarding a new Triple Boost Week (Friends and Romance)?
Well, more information has been provided in the latest The Sims 4 game update. Considering that the image shown down below is named VALENTINES_DAY_BOOST_SCREEN, we assume that the boost week will go live around Valentine’s Day in February. Check out what this Boost Week will be about!
Triple Boost Week: Relationships
Find love 3x faster!
Love is in the air! Jasmine is back in town, and playing the role of Cupid. This week only, your Sims’ can get that first kiss, hot date, or even married three times faster than usual! Just ask Jasmine for a boost that will help you hit your relationship goals three times faster. Woohoo!
James’ The Sims 2 Thoughts: The Sims 2 Bon Voyage (2007)
Get ready for the trip of a lifetime! On September 4th 2007, Sims 2 Bon Voyage was released!
Now, I did not get this expansion when it was released in 2007. The first time I personally played it was in 2014, when EA was doing a free promotion for the sims 2 and I was lucky enough to receive the pack.
When I started playing with it, I was amazed on how much better it was than Sims 3 World adventures.
To me, World Adventures seems too… linear. What I mean is that it doesn’t feel as open ended. It’s almost like the game in World Adventures forces you to complete tasks, and quests and all that jazz. Bon Voyage, to me, just feels a lot more open ended and more like a legit sims game.

In the expansion, you have 3 different worlds to experience. Each world has a theme.
- Takemizu Village,
- Twikkii Island,
- Three Lakes
The first one has a theme that is similar to a Far East vacation.

The second has to deal with a tropical paradise. And lastly

the third feels like a rocky mountain escape in the woods.

Each sub- neighborhood has plenty of resorts to chose from, all being rated by how many days you stay (No visa points here, thankfully!) There are actions and NPC’s that you can only find in the sub neighborhoods. The same goes with collectibles and gifts that your sims can buy, either at the hotel or resort they are staying at, or by means of a community lot.
Sims can go on tours, which is when your sims leave, and you are given a series of chance cards. Depending on what actions you choose on those chance cards, the tour may be really good, or… be bad.
When you return from your getaway, Sims also gain temporary Vacation Benefits after they return from a good vacation, or receive negative benefits if the vacation was bad. Sims can also teach their friends about the culture and show them cool things from where they were just visiting.
Again, this pack added so many new elements to the game. And it is always fun to see what king of mischief your sims can run into. Who Knows, you might just run into someone rare!
Next week, its all about hobbies and relaxing, with my take on the Sims 2: Freetime.
The Sims 4: Toddlers Update brings lots of Simmers back!
After the launch of The Sims 4 Toddlers Update on January 12th, many Simmers who didn’t play The Sims 4 for a very long time decided to give the game another chance as the new life stage brings plenty of new gameplay.
Current amount of active online users playing The Sims 4.

After reading the comments on Facebook and Twitter, some Simmers didn’t play The Sims 4 for months (even years) due to lack of family gameplay (mostly because there were no Toddlers). Some of them even mentioned that they had to go back to The Sims 3 because the Legacy Challenge is far more enjoyable when you have toddlers. Thanks to the Toddlers Update, many of them came back.
What’s really interesting is that The Sims 4 had this amount of online active players only in the week of the launch (September 2nd, 2014). There were updates like Pools, Ghosts and CAS Gender tools which brought a few thousands of simmers back to the game, but that didn’t last long.
Here’s an example of active online users on the weekend of CAS Gender Tools update, which was HEAVILY followed by gaming websites and other general media:

We’re very excited that there’s a lot of hype for The Sims 4 in our social media timelines. Let’s hope the positivity and enthusiasm towards The Sims 4 stays like this!
The Sims 4 Vampires: New Gameplay Trailer
The Sims Team released a brand new 30-second gameplay trailer for The Sims 4 Vampires Game Pack!
The Sims 4: Builders are not forgotten!
There’s no denying that The Sims Team is very generous recently in terms of new gameplay for The Sims 4. Problem is, some players who prefer building over playing The Sims 4 still find that the Build Mode is lacking some content and features.
SimGuruHouts wrote a quick post saying that they didn’t forget about builders and that they have a list of build-related features that they want to add to the game.
We have a list of build-related stuff we want to add to the game. Can’t give more details or timelines for when you’ll see stuff, but hang in there, I promise you haven’t been forgotten!
After the Toddlers update, it certainly feels like The Sims Team is actually listening to us. Let’s hope that they continue with this overwhelming generosity and deliver great build content in 2017!

The Sims 4: Toddlers Custom Content already available
It didn’t take CC creators too long to figure out how to create Custom Content for toddlers!
Sims4Studio, one of the main tools that Custom Content creators use to create CC has been updated recently for The Sims 4 Toddlers update.
The new version also has the ability to blank out unwanted CAS bumps, speculars, shadow maps, and emission maps with one click. There is a new cheat code that allows read-only previews of all CAS and object items.
Here are some of the hairstyles that I find really adorable:

You can find more Custom Content for Toddlers on Lana’s Sims 4 Finds Tumblr blog. She has a neat collection of both Toddler Hairstyles and Toddler Clothing!
