Sims News: August 13th-August 20th

8/20/2020

0 Comments

 
The wheels of the Sims universe quietly turned this week.  There was little to no earth shattering news from any of the three Sims realms, but as we near the end of August, rest assured that this relative silence is but the calm before the storm.  Sims FreePlay continued its Influence Island exploration, Sims Mobile wound down Sweet Treats, and Sims 4 developers dropped some cryptic teasers, some of which may not have been intentional. ​

Sims FreePlay
After an exciting new feature roll out, the Sims FreePlay developers largely watched over player experiences with Influence Island.  Monday, August 17th, developers unveiled a probing quiz in order to measure player wishes for future updates. The quiz posed a variety of different themes players could choose from, including magical school themes, fitness themes, minimalist themes, maximalist themes, and many more.  

August 18th, SimGuruAlana acknowledged a troublesome glitch that caused player games to crash when opening Influence Island.  After assuring players that this would not occur for Influence Island season 2, several players scoffed, voicing their displeasure for the new game mechanic entirely.  

Sim Chase #18 begins August 21st, featuring school-themed items such as bleachers, hoops, scoreboards and more.

All is quiet on the Sims Mobile front as the current Sweet Treats, Dream Garages, winds down.  Players gear up for the newest Wumples, which populates in-game on August 23rd and features a unicorn-shaped piggy bank, a "friend-shaped" plush monster, and ten fashion gems as a prize.  The end of August nears, so players should expect a new slew of announcements from the dev team soon.

The Sims 4
Sims 4 developers have had their hands full juggling the latest rounds of speculations on Twitter.  They released a small bug-squishing patch which addressed gameplay issues such as: Sims obsessively knitting, pets refusing to eat without command, duplicating Dine Out foods, non-klepto SIms stealing from their own lots, the disappearance of "green world' phenomenon like the aurora borealis, and more. 

But Wednesday, August 19th, SimGuruGeorge released a confusing tweet.  The tweet read "Wednesday," and accompanied a picture of three Sims in Moschino gear.  The male Sim in the forefront, dressed in a blue sweatsuit, appears stylishly pensive.  "Do you pronounce the 'n' in "Wednesday?" George posed to his followers.  Simmers speculate that a game pack announcement could drop next Wednesday, the last Wednesday of August.  

If that were not enough, SimGuruNinja, caught explaining the difference between Sims 4 Parenthood and Sims 3 Generations as packs, may have inadvertently raised the hopes of Simmers everywhere for a Sims 4 generations pack.  Ninja explained that Simmers shouldn't look too deeply into his tweet, but that players should never count anything out. 

That's all for now, but stay tuned for more updates, which are assuredly on the horizon. 

Stay safe, wash your hands, and happy Simming.
