The Sims 4: SimGuruLyndsay Clarifies Console Rumors

Don’t trust the rumors that keep popping up on your google search for The Sims 4-related things as SimGuruLyndsay has finally set the records straight.

Lyndsay Pearson, Senior Producer for The Sims 4, confirmed that a console version for The Sims 4 won’t see the light of day anytime in the near future.

I want to clarify that we have no plans for a console version of The Sims 4 anytime in the near future. Ignore the rumors.

— Lyndsay Pearson (@SimGuruLyndsay) July 26, 2016

It’s still unclear if The Sims 4 will ever get made for consoles like previous Sims games, but if not, we fully support The Sims Team for focusing on the PC version on the game.

The Sims 4 Backyard Stuff Review

July 19, 2016

Backyard Stuff is the eighth Stuff Pack for The Sims 4. It’s main focus is to bring a Summer vibe to the game with new CAS items, build items and gameplay, but does it succeed in doing so?

Game Review Standards

This review is based on 10+ hours of gameplay. Even though I was given an early review copy to test the game, I am not by any means paid or bribed to state positive (or negative) opinions about this stuff pack. I will give my honest opinion of the stuff pack; its content and what it brings to the game.

Create A Sim

Backyard Stuff comes with around 40 new CAS items for all ages! There’s new items in a few sections of CAS, including Hairstyles, Tops, Bottoms, Shoes, Outfits and Styled Looks.

There’s nothing particularly new or revolutionary with the new CAS items, except that this pack comes with 3 new ombre hairstyles, one of them being exclusive for children! Yup, this is the first ombre hairstyle made for children.

Build Items

The 8th Stuff Pack continues with a fair amount of new items. It seems that Kids Room Stuff set a new standard, because Backyard Stuff as well has around 40 new Build Items.

Sure, some of them are wall decals and floor rugs that are nothing but 2D decor, but this pack still comes with enough objects to fill your backyard. The picket fence is what most of us have been waiting for so long, and backyard stuff finally delivered it.

New Gameplay

The biggest WOW of this pack is that it comes with 6 NEW Gameplay Items. Those include:

Wind Chimes
Flower Power Outdoor Light
Large Umbrella Table
Bird Feeder
Summer Drink Tray
Water Slides

Compared to the wind chimes we got in The Sims 3 Store, these wind chimes have a lot more to offer. You can customize the pitch of the chimes and there are 3 types of chimes you can choose from. Plus, they’re not too annoying and won’t produce sound effects often.

The flower power outdoor light is a small object that doesn’t actually do much except spin it’s flower petals and light up the surroundings during night. However, Sims can unlock 2 different moodlets by viewing this object!

Although the large umbrella table isn’t actually groundbreaking or new, it does allow 6 Sims to be seated at the same round table – simultaneously!

The bird feeder is the first object in The Sims 4 that can summon animals. Once you fill in the bird feeder with bird seed, birds will come to eat it. It doesn’t really add nothing much except to the ambiance of your backyard, but it’s still a great object.

The summer drink tray offers 3 new drinks that you can mix up: lemonade, iced tea and citrus swig. Given the fact that it’s a small object, it still plays a significant role in living up your backyard.

And last but not least, Backyard Stuff comes with two huge water slides! These water slides can be used by Sims of all ages (babies excluded of course) and you’ll see new tricks performed by your Sims almost every time they slide. Emotions will also effect how your Sims perform on the slide, as angry sims have a higher chance of flopping on their belly. You can even mix it up by adding soap onto the water slide, which will leave soap bubbles on the Sim who slides down on it for two hours. I don’t see myself placing this object in every household, but the households that will get the water slide treatment are usually large families.

All of these objects add up to The Sims 4’s family play experience and not only do they just look nice, but they also live up the atmosphere on your lot.

The Sims 4 Backyard Stuff: Gameplay & Features

The Sims 4 Backyard Stuff comes with plenty of new objects that bring new features and interactions.

There are 6 objects that we’ll talk about in this article that bring in some ‘premium’ gameplay. Let’s begin!

The Wind Chimes

There are 6 wind chime objects with this pack: 3 can hang from the ceiling and 3 can hang from the wall. You can choose from 3 types of wind chimes:

Aluminum
Ceramic
Bamboo

As expected, each wind chime type produces a different sound effect that’ll be triggered ever so often.

Having a wind chime near your Sim will give him/her a happy moodlet:

There are 2 interactions that you can use on a wind chime: you can turn it off completely or change the pitch to low, medium or high, which will affect the sound effect of the wind chime.

From left to right: low pitch, medium pitch and high pitch wind chime.

TIP: Hot-headed Sims are not huge fans of the wind chimes…

Flower Power Outdoor Light

This decor piece not only lights up the outdoors at night, but also spins its petals!

Some Sims who decide to view it may get a playful moodlet, while some will get a dazed moodlet.

Large Umbrella Table

Backyard Stuff brings the biggest round table to The Sims 4 – offering 6 seats to Sims.

This table can be good for either 2 Sims enjoying a romantic night or a household enjoying the outdoor grill. All 6 Sims can use it at the same time and place their food and drinks!
