Much of this was due to a perceived dearth of available content compared to previous entries.
The Sims 4 famously launched to a fairly mixed response back in 2014.
The stream VOD already has over 30,000 views, so the game clearly still has plenty of people playing. Just a few hours ago, series developer Maxis streamed a sneak peek at some of the new content live on twitch, including a look at courtyards and some details about an upcoming patch. As this is a Summer thing, all of this is set to debut during May, June, and July. EA is promising three base game updates, an expansion pack, a game pack that’ll supposedly include a new career or two, and a new pack that focuses on designing oasis courtyards. If you’re a dedicated fan who’s been playing the game for years on end, this will likely help tide you over in between your bloodcurdling screams at the lack of announcements regarding the eventual sequel.Īs for what we can expect, there are several things in store during The Summer of Sims. In the meantime, the fourth game in the series is surprisingly receiving even more updates. EA has announced a little thing they call The Summer of Sims and, no, there’s no word on The Sims 5 yet. It’s hard to believe that The Sims 4 has already been out for nearly seven whole years.
