Plus it'll make it a lot easier for me to create weird Sim cults, but that's a story for another time. It never used to be something that would gel with my play style, but I think it's safe to say that farming (with chickens and goats!) will make a lot of players very happy - and make Rags to Riches challenges much more interesting. Clubs are great, but I don't always want these activities to be active, you know?Īs for a more substantial change (expansion pack, I'm looking at you) I think the rallying cry of players who want a farming pack will hit its apex this year - and I'll be contributing my voice to it. I want my baby ballet dancers to go to dance class, my tech lovers to go to chess groups and, even if we move away from skills themselves, I want more range for teen jobs. While we're on the topic of younger age groups, I'd love to see a return to the Sims 2 FreeTime style hobbies, where children and teens can grow their skills during after-school activities. I want a Go to Work style active career where you run a daycare and have countless screaming toddlers all needing to learn how to use the potty. I want schools that cater to different skills.

I want to schmooze headmasters to get my kids into private school again.

The first thing my little Simmy heart craves is an overhaul of the education system. Here at CNET, we've got some dedicated Sims 4 fans who are already excited at the thought of what might be coming.

But Paranormal Stuff is only the first in a series of addendums to the franchise that'll land this year.Īlready the community is convening on Reddit and social media to discuss what else might be on the horizon. It's filled with spooks, haunts and a Paranormal Investigator career to boot, and reception from fans and influencers alike has been positive. This month, the stuff pack for 2021 was officially announced: Sims 4: Paranormal Stuff.

For the last few years, The Sims has released new content on a regular basis: one expansion pack, one stuff pack and one game pack per year. One thing that unites all Sims players? Speculation. Some build sprawling lots full of clutter that look like they're taken from a magazine others put hundreds of hours into the same family, building a legacy that spans generations. The Sims 4 has something different for every player. There's plenty more to come from The Sims this year.
