The Sims 4, which released more than four years ago is still getting regular content updates, the latest of which has been delayed. Originally slated for release this month, the patch has been pushed back. To make up for that, the upcoming content within the next update will be free. These new additions include a new career path, as well as a feature that lets you edit terrain. Your Sims will now have the ability to be a Style Influencer, which means they can perform makeovers and judge other NPCs based on their looks. More notably, the ground sculpting will allow for players to raise and lower the ground to create hills or other visual changes to their land. More details about this update and future Sims 4 content will be discussed on October 11th, on Maxis's official Twitch account. As far as The Sims 4 goes, EA plans to support future DLC expansions for the game for the foreseeable future.

Man, I wish we could go to the good ol' days when EA didn't screw SimCity over and when the Sims was actually good...

that's when maxis still owned it.

The sims died with the sims social. That was a fun game.

wait, a FREE update? in the game that splits the pets expansion into 2 parts so that you have to pay more?

The only way I could see this done logically would be domestic pets and exotic pets.

Actually, it's a Cat and Dog expansion pack
and a Animal stuff pack

even that is just dumb, just give me an expansion called "pets" and be done with it, the fact that we had to re buy it 3 times rather than it being included was already pretty dumb

Damn, EA is shit. I've never cared for Sims games, but even I agree that splitting up that pets expansion is trash.

Don't get me wrong, I find it dumb as well

Wow, it's been forever and they're still adding features that should have been in the base game.

The Sims 5 will simply be code you have to compile yourself.

Honestly, I have no clue. I've just seen people say it's coming. I would think they would at least want to wait a while but it is EA so who knows?

yea well, usually, theres a lapse of 5 years between each of them
But according to their forum, they still have stuff for the next 2 years

i mean it's cool that EA does free stuff.
but this update seems late.

 

[Noctosphere]
