The Sims franchise has celebrated a remarkable 25 years, and to honor this milestone, the Sims team plans to release complimentary content and organize events leading up to the grand birthday event on February 25th. The update on January 14th marks the first enhancement to the base game, introducing numerous gameplay improvements and alterations to the user interface. Below are some key features that are new in The Sims 4.
Gameplay Enhancements
The January 14th update introduced significant behind-the-scenes improvements to the game’s performance, along with fixes for bugs and updates to the UI. For instance, the home screen now showcases characters at the center, engaging in random animations, drawing inspiration from the lobbies of games like Apex Legends and Fortnite. This move aligns with the recent trend of integrating elements from battle royale games, such as weekly login rewards and seasonal events. The revamped UI aligns with this shift in gameplay dynamics.
Townie Home Renovations
Additionally, the update has revamped all the townie residences in both Willow Creek and Oasis Springs. This makeover includes entirely new buildings and interior redesigns, injecting fresh energy into these decade-old virtual homes. However, players who are not beginning a new save file will need to manually download and place these new lots to experience the updated designs. More details about the changes to townie homes, the user interface, and a full list of bug fixes can be found below.
