SimGuruLyndsay made a post on The Sims Forums regarding the recent announcement:
Hey Everyone!
I am really excited to share with you a new type of video today! This seasonal preview is something we will be presenting every few months to show you a look at the content to come in the next season for The Sims 4. (In this case a “season” means around 2-3 months)
This will NOT replace our usual announcement videos and blogs but will give you a preview of the type of content and themes you can expect to see coming up.
We’re really excited to share this with you, we’ve not done anything quite like this before, and look forward to giving you even more information and deeper dives on the content as we get closer to their announcement & release dates.
Check it out here:
Thanks! Keep Simming!

Monday came and went without an excited GIF post and simmers were left once again without a drop of news, just when we thought all hope was lost, a tidal wave of leaks and news flooded in across the community and it spread fast! This week on SC Social the news and rumors have been a hot topic and I round up the top discussions and reactions of the week…
First things first let’s start with the important stuff that we know so far, a couple of dates for your diary include Tuesday 19th April 2016 – this is when the next main announcement is taking place and Sim Guru Drake spoke of a “new communication strategy” which will also kick off this upcoming Tuesday, if you want to know more check out Tatiana’s thread on SC Social – Gurus Graham and Drake talk about the News Drought (and content) and also the April 19th, big upcoming content announcement thread.
Next make a note of Thursday 21st April 2016 this will mark the end of the Spring Challenge with a new patch update, we have had lots of rumors about this upcoming patch and simmers are hoping for some juicy content! We are unsure if this patch will pave the way for the “New Gameplay” which has also been rumored this week, more on that here in this discussion thread by Keyenpeydee – What could this ‘new game play’ be? If you’re still curious check out this thread posted by Jovan – The Sims 4: Major Info Leaks from Sims Latin America which talks about how this new gameplay may also be never before seen in The Sims franchise!
Now before we get our hopes up too high Sim Guru Drake did confirm that no toddlers will be forming a part of the upcoming news with this post on The Sims Forum:
Although many will still be disappointed at this, we are seeing big hints towards a restaurant theme which has been rumored for quite some time, many simmers have been excited to hear this, in fact I noticed a mix response to this latest news flood and just like last week asked for your screenshots from The Sims 4 to let us know how you are feeling, check out this collection of superb shots…
A huge thanks to all the fantastic simmers who sent in a screenshot, this gallery shows mixed emotions with some remaining quietly calm until an official announcement is made.
This week I came across The Castaway Challenge created especially for The Sims 4 by SimplyNando so if you are missing that castaway experience, be sure to check this out on the SC Social thread – The Sims 4: Castaway Challenge. Requires The Sims 4 Outdoor Retreat and Spa Day to play.
We just wanted to take a moment here to say a huge thank you to all the amazing simmers who have so far registered at SC Social to allow us to celebrate our 10,000 member milestone!! Yes 10,000!
Jovan posted a personal message to all members here – MILESTONE: SC Social reaches 10,000 members!
To celebrate our success, we are hosting not ONE but THREE giveaways through SC Social over the coming weeks these include:
We are so grateful to all the simmers who made this milestone possible and if you haven’t joined SC social yet, you can do so by registering HERE, this way you can keep up to date with all the latest sims news. This upcoming week should be packed with new discussion topics so sign up soon!
Sim Guru Drake has officially confirmed the next patch update will be released on Thursday 21st April which will also bring an end to this years spring challenge. If you haven’t managed to collect all those spring goodies yet you now have one week to do so! We can also offer a helping hand with this handy guide to The Spring Challenge 2016.

After SimGuruDrake’s announcement of months of Upcoming Content being announced next week (ain’t that a tongue twister?!), she and SimGuruGraham took time to answer some questions about the News Drought and what could the Content Announcement be about.
Check out these 3 brand new Renders from The Sims 4 that were added on TheSims.com just recently, as well as a Pool Render in HQ that made it’s way in The Sims 4 Main Menu back in November of 2014.

It’s a Snap!
Have you ever taken a screenshot while playing The Sims 4? Did it come out as good as you wanted? It’s fine if it didn’t! Taking good screenshots is a lot harder than hitting “Print Screen” and moving on. When we take the screenshots of The Sims 4 you see on our website, we put a lot of time into them, and consider everything from the storytelling to the composition and lighting.
If you want to take your The Sims 4 screens to the next level, we’ve put together some tips you can follow along with!
Decide on a subject. What is the focus of your screenshot? What story are you trying to tell? Whether it’s your hilarious Sim or a really fun animation, give yourself a direction to help focus the design of your shot around that particular subject. For this exercise, I want to show my Sim cooking.
QUICK TIP: If a Building or Lot is your subject, build out neighboring Lots and fill with Sims to give it some life.
Find the moment. This may be the most important tip. Find the exact frame you want to capture and build your shot around that. Play through the interaction a few times to get a sense of the animation. Pause the game to look at various frames in more detail and from multiple angles. Repeat until you find… The moment. Bingo!
Position your Camera. You’re going to need to get your camera into the perfect position. Luckily, there are a bunch of hotkeys for Camera Controls that might make that easier. Here are some to get started:
- [tab] key = “Free Camera Mode”
- [w, a, s, d, q, e] = Moves your camera
- [z & x] = Zoom
- [ctrl] + [5, 6, 7, 8, or 9] = Saves your camera positions
- [5, 6, 7, 8, or 9] = Recalls your saved positions
- [c] = captures and saves a screenshot
QUICK TIP: Search “Photography Composition Rules” online for some good techniques.
Consider time of day. Whether you’re outside or in a room with no windows, the time of day doesn’t just affect the lighting of your shot. A shadow can provide texture to an open area off lot. Earlier morning sunlight can drape over the carpet of your living room. Most importantly, it adds context to your story.
Toss in clutter items. It’s all about the details. Clutter items can help make a set feel lived in and give your Sims some ownership to the space.
QUICK TIP: Every wall is an opportunity, not a Garage Sale. Simplify your shot to keep the viewer focused on your subject.
Light your Sims. Have your scene set? All filled with the right objects? Sim in the right pose? Cool, now you can start lighting. The focus of my screenshot is my Sim. So I want to start lighting him before I light the rest of the scene. Try not to think of lighting a room, but rather where you want to draw the eye of the viewer. With too many lights, a scene loses depth and begins looking evenly lit and flat.QUICK TIP: The “Lamp Named Claudine” is great for lighting Sims without completely affecting the rest of your scene.
Add final polish. Minor adjustments to lighting, color and object placement. Consider using thought balloons to show what your Sim is thinking. The community has a collection online.QUICK TIP: Keep walls up when taking screenshots.
And that’s it! Follow these tips, and you’re well on your way to taking better screenshots of your Sims.
