Community News - gyrating shopping carts

2/28/2024

with bated breath we wait

Dearest Simmers, 

​We sit on the precipice of a live stream showcasing the upcoming Stuff Pack, Crystal Creations. Whilst we wait for the stream to launch, later today on both YouTube and Twitch (embedded below) why not take a minute to indulge in a bit of news from our amazing community

game update aka Shopping Cart gate

Merely a day into the game update yesterday and the community is a buzz with complaints, not the typical ones either like mods and CC breaking issues.

Several community members experienced a new addition to the game, a pulsing shopping cart at the top right of their game play screen, begging you to click only to learn of packs you can buy, and for those of you who own all the packs only to be pestered with its gyrating cartiness. It's purpose, as far as we can tell, is to get you to SPEND more money with the goal of eniticing you to click it and see what packs you may want.

While the idea is sound, it feels to the community at large to not only be obnoxious, but possibly triggering issues for those who have visual impairments or suffer from seizures. The SimsCommunity posted to X yesterday showcasing this fun new addition, which apparently can not presently be stopped from pulsating

It also pulsates obnoxiously and you can't stop it ❤️ pic.twitter.com/r5AZAyjWRY

In other new MapleSimmer does an excellent job of running through what was FIXED with the update on their YouTube channel

What would a sims pack release be without a few leaks

Thanks to SimMatticaly, we have a closer look at the upcoming Build/Buy and CAS content which we will likely get an even closer look at during the live stream.

A pause from gems, jewles, and crystals

Our community adores, leaks, news about upcoming packs, and of course updates to the Sims 4 but we also LOVE to create. This week we got lost in the creativity of our community and want to invite you along for the ride. starting with this fantastic wondering from HipHipRenee on X:

What’s a weird and random thing/feature/activity you’d like to see added into the Sims?

— project hiphiprenee (@hiphipreneeYT) February 21, 2024
Be sure to click in and see some of the responses and don't forget to add yours to the list as well. SillySimmuz had some great suggestions right out of the gate including High fives, holding hands while walking around, and more.

Glowup or Glowdown, you decide

Reddit user, InterviewLeast2278, shared one of their brilliant CAS creations on Reddit this past week showcasing their glow down version of some iconic townies, and I personally LOVE them, somehow they just feel a bit more authentic or real and seriously just love how each player sees and transforms their won gameplay with these conic sims. Check it out below and let us know in the comments, whether you would call them a Glowup or a Glowdown or something altogether different .
Townie glowdown? Townie glowup? Well, at least it’s a townie makeover!

While on Reddit, we also came across something new. Not only can your Sims romantic photo booth actions be captured in a most loving way to be stored as a treasured memory, but their rejections can also be captured and showcased on the walls of your sims house, thanks to Reddit user: LittleHybrid.
I just learnt that Sims can get rejected in the photo booth.

Shameless plug or great resource of info?

While I must admit, many of the Sims news outlets have shared their takes on what is to come I am most proud of our own news post, hand crafted by @Alaeryn, our lead writer.

We are back with a brand new round of community news, and of course we will be addressing the giant HORSE in the room, but don't worry we have so much more to catch you up on so let's get started.

Horses...are they coming?

Rumors have been swirling within the Sims community about the possibility of a highly anticipated expansion pack centered around horse ranches in The Sims 4. Enthusiastic players have been eagerly speculating about the potential features and gameplay elements this pack could bring. Speculations range from the inclusion of a new rural world with sprawling pastures and stables to a wide variety of horse breeds to choose from, each with their own unique traits. There's talk of the ability to build and customize elaborate equestrian facilities, compete in horse shows, and even embark on exciting trail rides through picturesque landscapes. While no official confirmation has been made by the developers, these tantalizing rumors have sparked excitement and anticipation among Simmers, who eagerly await any news of a potential horse ranch pack for The Sims 4.

Keep in mind all we have at this point are rumors and speculation, but we enjoy it and are here for it, so enjoy checking out these simmers and what they think/hope for with the potential of this expansion pack and where the rumors started.

Hot Update...What do you think is it muy Caliente?

We were promised a HOT update from the team awhile back and they...delivered? Well we leave that up to you to decide as it seems the community is a bit divided on this one.

The team decided to update the Caliente family including: Katrina Nina, Dina and even Don Lothario. Take a look at their refreshed look below as compared to the Sims 2  as well as how they compare to the Sims 4 original looks and let us know what you think, did they make improvements are do you wish they didn't change them?

Remember that update we all stopped talking about?

Time flies, especially when we are all lost in game, but OnlyAbDoang has a great video showcasing the updates that we got back in Mach and April and I think we should still be talking about some of the greatness from the update. We could draft up a summary for you but really they do a perfect job wrapping it all up, so watch enjoy and get caught up.

Also SO MANY NEW PLACES TO PUT CLUTTER!!!

The new expansion pack is out, and the community is a buzz with information, reviews, and new Let's Plays. So let's get you all caught up on what's been going on around the community over the past couple of weeks.

San Sequoia us here...for some of us

Reviews are in and they are a honest and ready for your input. Simmer Erin along with several of the other established Simmers have their reviews out about the latest expansion pack: Growing Together, and we got to say, so far it seems like it is a varied mix of appreciation and disappointment, nothing like the Wedding Story reviews after release, but we thoroughly enjoyed watching and getting the honest opinions of the Simmers checking out the new Build buy catalogs, game play, CAS, and world overview.

San Sequoia World + Lots (sizes)

Shout-out to Simmer and Reddit user: Neutrogena_George for sharing the work map and lots available within them as well as the the lot sizes

Growing together Reviews

You all know where to go for your favorite reviews of new packs, but if perhaps you are new to the scene or even want a little variety we throughly enjoyed Plumbella's concise walk through of all the various components of the game broken down into categories as well as this over view video from Simmer Erin, who is not part of the EA Creator network

What would a new pack be without a few bugs?

We have all gotten used to a few bugs and game glitches when a new pack or update comes out to the community, well Growing Together will NOT be the exception. Simmer Erin outlines some of the major bugs that have been discovered in game, and we highly recommend you check out the video below from her to make sure you too do not get hit with this fairly major and quite unique bug that alters the very pixel coding of your Sims.

But that's not all....

Aside from the new pack released, a few other notable discoveries and new joys popped up these past few weeks including a brand new podcast from the creative minds of HipHipRenee and PeaFrogSims, hidden CAS features were shared, and we also got a pretty major Base game update with all manner of important details to know about....

Guilty as Sim

The Guilty as Sim podcast, co-hosted by HipHipRenee and PeaFrogSims, 2 veteran simmers who have a lot to say about our beloved franchise and are ready to share in an R rated podcast. That's right, get yourselves ready to hear swear words flying, woohoo conversations, Sim murder stories and more as these two brilliant Simmers and content creators take us on a journey into their unfiltered minds as they talk about all things Sims.

Their first episode is out and available, but you can also catch snippets of their show across many of the social media platforms, TikTok being the best in short order form to catch a sampling of the hijinks those two get up to on the podcast.

Bitten by the CC Bug - TheKateEmerald

As if we were not already blow away with the above mentioned CC, we all but fell out of our chair when the QUEEN of stunning CC free builds, TheKateEmerald, shared this post on Twitter showcasing a new piece they just created in blender.

Aside from the stunning chair she created, Kate shared that she is potentially explroing creating more CC for our bleoved Sims 4 franchise, which is both exciting and amazing news. Kate has always managed to make the most stunning and unique builds with comepltee disregard for the games limitations. Kate was creaing, and teaching us how, to create round rooms before we could even imagine getting a round room tool in game.

Do yourself a favor: Follow Kate on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram, because you are not going to want to miss a SECOND of this amazing journey, trust me,

Ruddy interesting...Eco Lifestyle and how it interacts with other packs

Simmer @NaniSimming on Twitter shared this gem this past week about  effects of pollution in our Sims lives that I found vastly interesting.

I had no idea that the pollution ( brought to us with the Eco Lifestyle pack) had so many different effects tied with the other packs.

From Pollution having negative effects on vampire powers (who knew those plasma suckers preferred clean air) to the fact that Spell Casters can use their magic to rid themselves of those pesky flies and roaches.

Check out the tweet below to see more of the effects that happen

#SimJews update

For those of you who did not know, Simmer @HufflePom on Twitter, has spent everyday of this past year asking the Sims team to add more Jewish cultural representation to the game. While the Sims team continues to expand and add new cultures and inclusivity to the base game via updates, we have not heard any news in response to this effort to bring in more Jewish Cultural elements, until NOW.

With the latest update to the game we received wearable health items and Simmer @Mimzyplays tweeted about it tagging HufflePom in hopes of this being a sign of getting more representation.

To our delight @SimGuruAsh replied back to the tweet (featured below) stating that:



"Things for cultures of faith are on our list, too. It's just a matter of time, where resources fall, & all the different things waiting on our list"

​
If you are interested in following the efforts of @HufflePom be sure to give them a follow and check out the hashtag #SimJews

The latest update...more details

While we are on the subject of the latest update, we got a lot of newness, including many new options for our transgender sims, and more. 

Many Simmers are over the moon excited about the continued efforts by the Sims team to be more inclusive, and we hope it is a sign of even more base game updates to help us all create our Sims, their homes, and help our Sims to live their best lives.

If you'd like to listen to all of the updates then we highly recommend you give Maple Simmer's video a watch/listen today.
