Sims 4 Patch (15 Mar, 2022)

About Sims

This update includes some bug fixes, new Scenarios, and the expansion of Neighborhood Stories as a configurable system that applies to Neighbor Sims throughout your game.


What's New?

Play with Neighborhood Stories

Ever wonder why those Sims next door never move out? Or expand their family? …Or die from causes other than old age?

Well, Neighborhood Stories is the answer!  Last November, we rolled out an update for everyone that added a set of life changes for Neighbor Sims who have a personal connection to your active household. With this release, Neighborhood Stories expands to breathe more life into Sims around town without your Sims even having to know them. They’re your neighbors, or your Sims that live across town, or even across the world. The Sims that you don’t actively play now have story moments happen to them. This includes allowing neighbor Sims to die in accidents, have an adoption or baby, make changes in their career or move in and out of Lots.

But maybe you’re saying, “I like the Pancakes the way they are! I don’t want them to move or have children! That’s not my story!” Don’t worry - Neighborhood Stories can be enabled for all Sims in My Households or Other Households, or on an individual basis per Household. Not only that, but each type of story can also be turned on or off individually. So, you can turn off the Pancakes from moving out or having children, but Bob can still change his career or die in a fiery accident!

To change configurations, just select Manage Worlds in the Options menu, and then select Manage Households. From there, you can choose either My Households or Other Households, and then configure the Neighborhood Stories by selecting the button at the top-right for all the Households in that tab. Or you can configure them separately per Household, using the Neighborhood Stories button in each Household.

To see what changes have taken place each day, go to a Mailbox and select ‘Check Recent Neighborhood Stories’. A Notification will appear, letting you know what changes have happened. See what’s happening to the Sims around the world, no matter who they are!

Would you like to try out some brand new Scenarios? With today’s base game update you can!

We’ve added 7 new Scenarios to The Sims 4. When you boot up the game today you’ll have access to:
  • Too many toddlers: In this updated version of the previously limited time Scenario, aim to get the happy toddler reward trait for this gaggle of whiz kids in the making.
  • Troublemaker: The kid’s a menace! Choose the path of villainy or surprise them with a redemption arc!
  • Rom-Com: Is this relationship a joke? Only you can write the punchline!
  • Super Rich Supervillain: Making a fortune is great, but you know what’s even better? Stealing one.
  • Extraterrestrial Researcher: This Sim wants to… believe! Bring the truth from ‘out there’ to your own home.
  • Unlucky Chef: Luck has nothing to do with how fire this chef is…
  • No Skills, No Problem: Who said Sims need to be skilled to make it in life? Time to prove your street smarts!
In addition to these Scenarios we’ve updated the feature to add existing household support to select Scenarios. You’ll also notice several tweaks and improvements to various aspects of the feature.

Take these new Scenarios for a spin today!

                              About Sims Transfer

                              I will upload all my creations here. That means uploading +/-3.500 files... and many, many more images. It will take quite some time... I will give priority to The Sims 4 meshes and The Sims 4 downloads in general. The Sims 2 downloads will follow, then The Sims 1 (because they are just a few). Anything else will follow in whatever order I see more convenient. As for News, Screenshots and Tutorials, the priority will be to add fresh content. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

                              - All Sims4 and Sims1 creations are now uploaded.

                              - All Sims3 creations are now uploaded.
                              - Transfer of Sims2 creations is in progress.
