sims 4 latest update

Happy August Simmers!



We hope you’re having a nice summer (or winter, depending on your hemisphere…)

Have you had a chance to go on vacation recently? If so, did you take lots of fabulous photos? If not, have you taken some fun selfies with your friends? At the very least I’m sure you’ve photographed your dinner…

Well, your Sims have been busy taking photos (or they will, once you tell them to), and now there are new ways to display photographs in The Sims 4.

It’s easier than ever to create new looks for ordinary walls: place a photo on the wall from your Sim’s inventory, then click on it - you’ll find a new “Change Orientation” option that lets you quickly and easily rotate between landscape and portrait.

Fill your Sim’s surfaces with pictures of family and friends (and anything else you can imagine) by grabbing a photo placed on the wall and dragging it on to a table or a shelf - it will magically turn into a standing photo with a frame.

Personally, I plan to build a tiny home and decorate it with nothing but artistic photographs of grilled cheese sandwiches.



Have fun!

FIXES & UPDATES

The Sims 4


  • Invites from NPCs to social events at venues will no longer end seconds after your Sim arrives at the venue.
  • Sims can no longer Serenade other Sims through a wall.

  • Walls will now show in photographs taken in basements without stairs.
    • Why you may have a basement without stairs is none of our business.

    • No changes were made to subjects sitting in a sit chair, or laying on a lay bed.


Get Together

  • Toddlers no longer stretch when getting their photo taken.
  • Selected NPC Sims who are off lot will now come to take photos at the In a Flash Photo Studio.


Cats and Dogs

  • The boat at the lighthouse in Brindleton Bay now has a Travel With… interaction.
    • Because the boat was lonely, and wanted to travel with you.


Seasons

  • Sims will no longer obsessively open and close their umbrellas while walking to chat with another Sim.


Island Living

  • Beach Towels are now visible when the lighting is set to low settings.
  • Mermaids now properly pass along their genetics to the next generation.
  • Mermaid conservationists can now successfully survey wildlife in the ocean.
  • Research Conservation on the computer no longer causes every skill the Sim knows to increase rapidly.
  • NPC Sims from other worlds can now successfully travel with your Sim to Sulani, instead of vanishing before arrival.
    • NPC Sims from other dimensions still disappear prior to arriving.
  • Sims will no longer get stuck when other Sims are lounging on float loungers.


Multiple updates for the Off the Grid lot trait:

What's the A-Z challenge
It's basically a legacy challenge where you start with a sim with their first name starting with A, and their child will have a first name that starts with B, and so on and so on until you reach a heir whose name starts with Z. There's like different rules you can play by to make your challenge easier/harder and you can usually find them online on sims forums/reddit! It's pretty fun, but I'm using cheats so it's not too difficult haha.

It is! I'm on U going on V right now and I can't believe I'm almost done. I think I'll just continue and restart with A again haha. But yeah you should give it a try! I feel like Sims is just that much more fun if you're playing some kind of challenge.

They said it's gonna be like Harry potter sbaiahaiaajsja


All i want is university..Thats all I want

To be fair, they've only just released an expansion pack. A game pack is a good move for now, and I bet there'll be one or two stuff packs next. Then we might get university? I mean it would have been nice to get it for September but we can't win every battle...

The new game pack looks cool for those who want magic stuff. Not my thing but I'm looking forward to seeing the content on it in reviews.

Coming September 10 for PC/Mac and October 15 for Console!​

KEY FEATURES

DISCOVER THE NEIGHBORHOOD

An unreal world awaits your Sim, and when you stumble upon the secret portal, there are mystical discoveries at every turn. Interact with familiars, cast spells on Sims around you, and concoct potions for friends and enemies.


LEARN THE CRAFT
Study up on classic teachings, get sorcerous experts to train your Sim, and become a Spellcaster by completing a quest. Collect and cast spells to make Sims fight, conjure food, or even turn others into objects. Create drinkable potions to make Sims fall in love, remove unwanted curses, or live forever!


GET REAL FAMILIAR
An ethereal familiar – or protector -- will help your Sim become the Spellcaster they were destined to be. Summon a dragon, fairy, or the familiar that best suits your Sim’s personality as a personal guard and give it a creative name.


DRESS FOR SUPERNATURAL SUCCESS
Get in the spirit of sorcery with outfits that suit your Sim. Over-the-top attire is cauldron-ready, while a subdued ensemble is perfect for casting new spells. Collect wands and brooms to finish the look, then decorate rooms with enchanting objects.

More details, courtesy of the wiki.

World and neighborhoods

The pack includes a new world named Glimmerbrook, a residential mountainous alpine world. It also features a portal into a separate floating fantasy-like neighborhood, The Magic Realm, where magic NPCs live.

Spellcasters

A new life state - spellcasters, are introduced. They are largely similar to witches from previous games, in that they can learn magic spells and brew potions. Similar to vampires in The Sims 4, spellcasters have a variety of skills and abilities they can unlock as they progress through a rank system. They are also the first occult in The Sims 4 to not have a secondary form.

Familiars

Spellcasters can bind themselves an unlimited number of familiars, such as dragons, phoenixes or with Cats & Dogs, dogs and cats. However only one familar can be summoned at a time.

New Objects

Cauldrons
Magic brooms
Spell book
