But it's not just the snow-related activities that make this pack beautiful - there's relaxing onsen springs, the addition of a hot pot, and absolutely breathtaking Japanese-inspired decor. Snowy Escape brings a host of snow sports and activities including rock climbing, sledding, snowboarding, skiing, and hiking. It's easily a top contender for best Sims 4 expansion packs, and it ranks highly because of how much fun is crammed into this pack. Komorebi is a beautiful, Japanese-inspired world that brings some much-needed diversity to the Sims expansion packs, which are often based on American or European cities. Of course, there are also Neighborhood Action Plans like We Wear Bags, which means your fellow townsfolk will wander around with brown paper bags on their heads…The Sims 4 loves some absurdity, that's for sure. There's a new Neighborhood Action Plan feature, which helps your neighborhoods feel more intertwined, as the town can vote on things like Eco-Friendly Appliances, which offers extra Handiness skill and Influence for fixing appliances or upgrading them to more green ones.
How much electricity does your Sim use, and how economically conscious is that long, contemplative shower they take every day? Eco Lifestyle introduces an Eco Footprint mechanic to all the Sims 4 worlds, where gameplay choices affect the state of the world - like adding smog to more pollution-ridden places, or beautiful clear water to those areas that are more eco-conscious.
#THE SIMS 4 REDDIT SERIES#
Still, here are 25 great things that were deleted in The Sims 4.Available on: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/SĮco Lifestyle is an expansion pack that tasks you with paying attention to how your Sims are living, which adds a really interesting layer to gameplay. Of course, I’m well aware that not everything from the past installments of The Sims series could have made it into The Sims 4 the game would have been incredibly difficult to run and taken forever to develop had EA tried to do that. There are lots of other features that were deleted and will probably never see the light of day, however, and some are more puzzling than others. Considering how much richer toddlers made the gameplay and how Simmers love ending their poor Sims in pools (don’t lie, we’ve all done it), it’s hardly surprising that EA eventually put these deleted features back into the game. While it’s hard to tell if some of these features were considered during the development of the game and then cut, it’s obvious that a lot of things that were in previous games were deleted from The Sims 4.įor instance, when the game was first released in 2014, there was an outcry, as toddlers and swimming pools were excluded from the game. It seems like only yesterday I was marveling at how much amazing new stuff was included in The Sims 3! Unfortunately, when the newest installment of the franchise was released, people started complaining about the opposite: there were a lot of things missing from the game. It really does feel odd to think that it’s already been 4 years since The Sims 4 was released.
