Today, EA revealed its plan for Events in a blog post, describing each event as a "limited time experience, centered around a fun theme, with free rewards or gameplay that adds new opportunities to your game."

Each Event is free and offers 8 rewards over the course of 4 weeks, with new rewards being made available each week. This format requires players to launch the game on at least different 8 days to claim every reward.

The first event, titled The Sims 4 Happy at Home Login Event, will become available for all players by June 13 and introduces several furniture items, a few new Sim accessories, and, most notably, a vending machine and a new trait called Practice Makes Perfect.

wait, theyre still producing content for sims 4?

I noped out of sims when sims 3 came out with like a billion dollars of DLC at launch

 

[Mownoc]

Oh it's just login rewards, you don't actually have to do anything.

If it was a real battle pass you needed to grind progress for I would have LMFAO.

Isn't there a decent (or even better) The Sims clone at this point?

 

[xrnzaaas]

It's surprising they're rewarding daily logins only now, you'd assume they already have mechanisms in place for people to keep coming back regularly.

I've noped out shortly after Sims 2 released but yeah. Sims 4 is still getting shit because it's the only game that is not from EA Sports that actually brings in money. They are working on Sims 5 ("Project Rene") right now.

There's "Life By You" in development at Paradox. But Paradox have an equally shitty DLC/Microtransaction policy as EA, so I wouldn't get my hopes up.

there is a game coming out (eventually) called paralives that may scratch that itch without $$$$$ of DLC

They're also adding in polyamorous relationships and death from heartbreak.

Polyamory is coming to The Sims 4 for free alongside the Lovestruck expansion pack this month

The "romantic boundaries" system will open up your Sims' relationships.

WTF happened to this franchise? They reached part 4 10 years ago and all I see is them milking it to no end. What about part 5?

Since when was sims considered a kids game? Its a life simulator that frequently involved gta levels of bullshitery

Also sex mods, like thousands of them

It's all too good

I suppose it sells though in this messed up timeline.

Of course it's primarily aimed at kids, looks at the dlcs.

And whether a game can be 'modded' doesn't mean shit in regards to kids. Hell, every corporation under the sun these days wants to sexulise kids if you've been paying attention, and thats before you even get to mods.
