The Sims 4: New Update + Patch Notes! (September 27th, 2016)

ts4e3logo

The Sims Team has released a brand new Update for The Sims 4!

To download the latest version of The Sims 4, simply open your Origin program and if the game doesn’t update automatically, right click on The Sims 4 and select ”Update”.

In case you have Mods or Custom Content, the game will automatically disable them for you after first launching The Sims 4 after the update. To re-enable all your Mods and Custom Content, select the Settings option in the Menu and select Settings. Under the”Other” section you’ll find the ”Enable Custom Content and Mods” option. Check it and restart your game in order for it to take effect!

Patch Notes

Update: 09/27/2016 – PC Version 1.23.24.1010 / Mac Version 1.23.24.1210

Afternoon, Morning, and Evening Simmers!
…in that exact order (but only if you are traveling West)

We have just a quick content add for you, so without ado of a furthering type…

…the New Stuff

Some new stuff for your Sims to celebrate the Day of the Dead!

  • …which technically isn’t until the end of October.
    • … but they’re Sims. So, technically any day can be the end of October.
      • I’m reminded of the famous quote, “Today will not be known as Taco Tuesday. It will be known as Freedom Friday, but still on a Tuesday!”

So you were saying, what’s new?

  • A new recipe for Pan de Muerto is available under the Cook… interaction.
  • Several new objects are available for your Sims to decorate their homes. Search for the term “Day of the Dead” in Buy Mode to find…
    • Two new wall hangings, a table, some candles, and a sculpture.
  • There are also several new outfits for your Sims in Create a Sim!
    • Male and Female Sims have a new full body outfit, plus face makeup.
    • Female Sims have a new hair, and Male Sims have a new hat.
    • Children also have a new full body outfit and face makeup.

And since we are on the subject of October… turns out Oct 1st marks the end of a quarter… so, that’s a thing.

Also, the end of a quarter has ridges.

Did you know that if you are only looking at one side of a ridge, you can’t see the other side? But if you wait, and let yourself move forward… just a short bit, you might find yourself on the other side of the ridge, able to see more.

Is it better on the other side? It might be, but I suppose in the end it all depends on the perception of which side of the quarter you are looking from, and prefer.

And with that little bit of wisdom, I wish you a happy Release Tuesday!

The Sims Blog: How San Myshuno was built in The Sims 4 City Living

The Sims Blog: How San Myshuno was built in The Sims 4 City Living

Via TheSims.com!

Sul Sul! We’re delighted you decided to join us today for our quick, informal tour of San Myshuno, the new World in The Sims 4 City Living*Expansion Pack. Watch your step and let’s get going!

ts4_concept_blog_fashiondistrict_01

San Myshuno was inspired first and foremost by diversity. We knew we wanted a diverse, vibrant, modern city where you might see people of Indian, Arab, Japanese, African, and other ethnicities. We wanted to create a colorful melting pot inspired by different cultural canvasses. We initially drew inspiration from Asian cities like Shanghai and Tokyo, but they were too intense with the lights, and felt a bit too focused on single cultural groups. Then, we looked to coastal cities like Vancouver, San Francisco, New York, and Sydney, as places known to host hugely distinct cultures in unique neighborhoods.

San Myshuno is divided into four neighborhoods inspired by different cultures and offer different activities, apartments, and festivals for your Sims. Let’s visit each quickly, shall we?

ts4_concept_blog_fashiondistrict_02

The Spice Market – A comfortable, old neighborhood marked by its distinct brownstone apartments and colorful mosaics. We were inspired by Indian colors and visual elements for this neighborhood. The Spice Market is the home of the Spice Festival, which is the perfect place to sample foods from different cultures (while also obliterating your Sim’s taste buds with spice!). There are some very affordable starter apartments here, and your Sims will certainly enjoy themselves in a pickup game of basketball, or spraying some graffiti with friends.

The Arts Quarter – Practically a sculpture itself, and is one of our more beautiful neighborhoods. Those who have been to San Francisco might recognize elements of the Yerba Buena Center across the street from the SF Museum of Modern Art. The art museum here in San Myshuno is really top notch, and aspiring musicians will seek their next tip here near the food stands. The Lantern Festival will pop up in the Arts Quarter from time to time, which is great, as it’s the perfect place for your Sims to view the fireworks!

ts4_concept_blog_fashiondistrict_03

The Fashion District – We’re definitely moving up the economic ladder here, but it offers truly spectacular views and neighborhood entertainments! Be ready to pay a stiffer price in rent if your Sims move in here. The Fashion District and Uptown are both inspired by the high-tech high rises of cities like Tokyo and Shanghai. The Fashion District is the home of the lively (and sometimes unruly!) Planet Sing-Pop, where vocal hopefuls go to belt out the latest tunes with friends and significant others. When auditory atrocities aren’t pouring forth from the karaoke bar, Sims might wander onto the street itself to enjoy the peculiar sights of GeekCon or maybe even find love at the Romance Festival.

Uptown – The final district, and one which has a truly breathtaking view with some wonderful high-rise options for Sims who have the bankroll to spare. Uptown is the home of the gym & rooftop lounge, and it’s also the final destination for Sims who have risen to the top of their career and now wish to rise to the top of the skyline.

We’ve never made a world like San Myshuno. It’s jam packed with diverse and exciting people, new activities like festivals, and venues that’ll entertain Sims otherwise cramped in their small starter apartments. Your Sims will want to move to San Myshuno the second it’s open, which is this November!

Flea Markets to come with The Sims 4 City Living

Flea Markets to come with The Sims 4 City Living

UPDATE: SimGuruDaniel revealed some more info on flea markets:

It seems that The Sims Team wanted to keep a certain feature secret until they’re ready to talk about The Sims 4 City Living’s Festivals. Still, one of the retail websites managed to leak a huge feature that you’ll be able to play with.

British gaming retail website GAME has provided an extended description of Festivals:

Discover Lively, Cultural Festivals:  Enrich and grow your Sims by taking them to different festivals all over the city where they can watch street performers, enter competitions, and meet different walks of life. Take your Sims to the Spice Festival where they can enter the Curry Challenge and become the Spice Master. Help your Sim light fireworks with a hot date at the Romance Festival. Earn Simoleons by selling your Sims’ crafts at the Flea Market. 

It’s still unsure which crafts we’ll be able to sell and will we be able to craft entirely new objects.

Flea Markets were first shown in the early designs of The Sims 4 Get Together’s Windenburg, still, they didn’t fit in with The Sims Team’s vision of Get Together Expansion Pack.

Some of the fun Moroccan-inspired(mostly) paintings I did for City Living that have been shown so far in the Livestream/trailer. One of the difficult things was how to simify font in different languages. Hopefully nothing actually spells anything in Japanese/Arabic 🙂

Eating poorly made Pufferfish Nigiri can cause a slight case of DEATH.

It seems that the new recipe called Pufferfish Nigiri can be really deadly for your Sims!

UPDATE #3: Here are some stills from the video that EA took down. We don’t want to jeopardize our website over the audio file that was leaked.

UPDATE #2: EA took down our video re-upload that we put on YouTube. It looks like they really want to get rid of this leak…

UPDATE: Both the tweet and the instagram post have been removed from Illan’s social accounts.

Illan Eshkeri, composer of The Sims 4’s soundtrack, posted a following tweet, teasing that The Sims 4’s upcoming pack(s) are ”scary”:

Not only that, but he also posted a small teaser on instagram of the upcoming soundtrack for upcoming scary packs (that’s currently unavailable due to EA’s copyright claims)

Looking at the emojis Illan posted and the word ”Dracula” mentioned in the soundtrack teaser above, we can expect Vampires, spooky spiders, some possible additions to ghost and more!

All of this can be confirmed as ”an official leak” as it was posted by an official account who composed the soundtrack for these packs. All that’s left to this is figuring out what the theme of these upcoming packs are.
