(April Fool’s) New Expansion Pack: The Sims 4 Get To Work 2 Box Art + Info (Exclusive)

21

To confirm: Yes, this is an April Fool’s joke 🙂

Just an hour ago this image and information was leaked onto TheSims.com but it was swiftly taken down. Luckily I managed to save the box art and grab the captions.

April Fools!

The Sims 4: Diverse Custom Content Showcase!

Hello fellow simmers! Due to lack of a variety in ‘mainstream’ or widely acknowledged custom content, I decided to put together a diverse custom content showcase for you all. I was tired of trying to find certain types of hair for more varied Create-A-Sim making, but I’ve done some of the work for you, instead of hunting for them yourself you can watch my short video showcasing all of the various hairs I’ve found! They range from Afro hair to long and curly hair, as well as some head wraps. Many of the custom content pieces come from the same creators, as some are conversions from The Sims 2 or The Sims 3 custom content pool. The poly-count within the meshes for the hairs is varied. If you’re more of a Maxis Match custom content collector, the ‘Dreadknot’ by Birksche will certainly be of interest, as well as the ‘Trappings Head Scarf Conversion’ by Monster Madness World as this headscarf in particular fits with The Sims 4 graphics very well. The other hair styles in the video are a good mix between high and low poly-counts, so if you have a slower laptop or computer you like to play The Sims 4 on, the lower poly-count hairs will be a big help and won’t lag your game as much!

Hope this helps all you simmers who want a more varied and diverse mods folder and Create-A-Sim items! If you want to download any of the hairs featured in the video, there is a list below!

Seasons Icons in Color!

Created by DanTheMann15

Have you ever become bored with the boring, plain-old green color that would light up whenever it changes to any season? If that’s so, then this mod is for you! What this mod does is that it replaces the Seasons icons in the game, with colorized ones.

The Sims 4: Upcoming Pack(s) in VOX Phase

1

Wonder why there hasn’t been a new The Sims 4 Pack release this month? We have some ideas…

Voice Actor Taylor Parks has confirmed today that she’s back (again) in The Sims Studio to do some work for The Sims 4!

This isn’t the first time she tweeted about working on The Sims 4 this year. In February of 2016, she posted this:

Back in December of 2014, she posted this tweet by accident, revealing some Get to Work features that she’s been voicing – 3 months before the official announcement!

If that’s the case, then there’s a huge possibility that the upcoming Expansion Pack will be announced in 2-4 months. EA’s new Fiscal Year begins this April, which means they’ll have more resources to put in for new Pack(s) promo.

But, enough of speculation. Here’s a tweet posted by SimGuruSarah that confirms that upcoming The Sims 4 Pack(s) are currently in VOX (voice, vocal) phase:

In case you didn’t know, Nicki Rapp who voiced Children and Toddlers in The Sims 3 is also back for unknown project(s) for The Sims 4.

The Sims 4: Official Pets Features Survey!

74

Electronic Arts has sent out a survey asking Simmers about their opinions for potential features that might arrive with a possible Expansion Pack – The Sims 4 Pets!

SimTimes.de just recently got this official survey with the following content:

The last survey we got for The Sims 4 was in August 2015. This Survey tackled many ideas for the game except for Pets.

The Sims 4: Pre-Teens Fanmade Renders by LumiaLover Sims!

2

What would Pre-Teens look like if they were introduced in The Sims 4? We don’t know yet, although LumiaLover Sims made 2 amazing ‘Pre-Teen’ Renders using The Sims 4 Characters + a little bit of Photoshop.

There is a possibility that the Pre-Teens age will make its debut in The Sims 4. In August of 2015, Electronic Arts sent out a survey to random simmers, asking what do they think of the Generations Pack for The Sims 4. Other than toddlers, the survey also mentioned Pre-Teens.

The Sims 4: SimGuruGraham explains SP Feature Cuts and ”Get to Work” Name Ideas

1

SimGuruGraham, one of the producers on The Sims 4 who’s currently working on Stuff Packs, answered some of the questions on Twitter regarding the ”craft brewing design” that was originally planned for SP03 (The Sims 4 Cool Kitchen) but later got cut.

SimGuruGraham: We had a great craft brewing design written for SP03; sadly got cut.

pascalio5: really? hope it can come in later on

SimGuruGraham: Always a chance, no current plans to resurrect it though.

SimGuruGraham: It wasn’t a good fit for SPs due to the scope of the work needed (too large), and questions regarding the appropriateness of the content that would need to be resolved. I’d love to see it get a chance in a different pack, although there aren’t any current plans for that. There are a number of people involved in the process that leads to our final list of features. At my level, I’m handed a broad theme for what an upcoming pack should be, and then we start brainstorming with designers to come up with ideas for features that would pair well with that theme. From there, we whittle down a list of features from the brainstorm that we think are the best (also keeping in mind if they’re practical to implement), and write short 2-3 sentence design blurbs for each one. We get rough work estimates against those blurbs, and cut the list down to the features we think will work best together for the pack, in the time that we have to develop them. Usually that’s our final list (with minor adjustments here and there), but in some cases estimates change enough after final designs are written that we need to do another round of cuts… such was the case for craft juice brewing. It’s primarily producers and designers who have a say in those cuts, with helpful input from our marketing partners.

JamesTurner: it needs to come back now haha, actually an interesting idea. Could be delicious

SimGuruGraham: It wasn’t a good fit for SPs due to the scope of the work needed (too large), and questions regarding the appropriateness of the content that would need to be resolved. I’d love to see it get a chance in a different pack, although there aren’t any current plans for that.

When it comes to The Sims 4 Get to Work, SimGuruGraham told some name ideas for the first Expansion Pack that didn’t make the cut:

SimGuruGraham: There was a list of submissions from the dev team for EP1. Most of these weren’t seriously considered. Some highlights include: “On The Job”, “Off To Work”, “Workin’ It”, “True Calling”, “Sims At Work” , “Down To Business”, “Back To Work”, “Makin’ Simoleons”, “Nine To Five”. The pack was never just business. Those names were ideas submitted by the team; not necessarily serious contenders.

How to Improve The Sims 3 Environment Graphics

13

Although The Sims 3 Graphics may look old to some, there are still a few tweaks that you can do to improve your visual experience of the game.

Shadows Quality

Even with all Settings set up to max, it still might feel like Shadows are not showing their full potential. They appear jaggered and distorted in most cases, but luckily that can be solved!

Go to Electronic Arts  > The Sims 3 > Game > Bin and open GraphicRules.sgr. Use CTRL + F and search for ShadowMapSize. Under ”setting $High”, change the ”prop $ConfigGroup ShadowMapSize 1024” value to ”prop $ConfigGroup ShadowMapSize 3840if you want 4K shadows or ”prop $ConfigGroup ShadowMapSize 7680if you want 8K shadows. Here are the results:

Outdoor Lighting Tweaks

Do you feel like the nights are too bright and blue? Is there too much bloom during the day? Are shadows too choppy and don’t move naturally? There’s an easy fix for all of that + more!

dDefinder‘s Outdoor Lighting Tweaks Mod makes the overall Environment of Worlds much more natural. Here are some of the major features of this Mod:

  • Shadows naturally ”follow” the sun.
  • Nights are no longer overly blue and bright.
  • Updated Sunrise and Sunset colors.
  • Tweaks to sun intensity, ambient lighting and bloom.
  • More natural Environment during weather ocassions. (Requires TS3 Seasons to function)
  • Adds 3 new weather types: Heavy Fog, Stormy and Overcast.

You can download the Mod by pressing the download button below. As the Mod comes packed with different variations, we suggest that you read the install instructions provided with the Download link.
