[dropcap]H[/dropcap]ave you ever wistfully wondered what it’s like to have a claim to fame? Well, ponder no further!
EA Games’ Sims franchise is notorious for allowing Simmers to indulge in frivolous fantasies. The upcoming Sims 4 expansion pack is no exception! The expansion pack, which is entitled The Sims 4 Get Famous, is seemingly relevant given the age we live in and the abundance of generation Z Simmers. The Sims 4 Get Famous will allow Simmers to reach for the stars and become A-list actors or celebrity influencers, and to go from rags to riches and live a life of luxury.
Features:
- Rise to stardom – Achieve both fame and fortune as your Sim gets catapulted into the limelight. But remember, being a celebrity comes with both perks and drawbacks.
- Act the part – Guide your sims into an alluring acting career. Star in commercials and Television series’. Get a big break, and you may even land a role in a big blockbuster!
- Talk of The town – Work your way up from a modest starter home to the mega-mansion of your dreams. Aim for a legendary diamond on Starlight boulevard with your Sim’s name emblazoned on it. Work hard enough, and you too can be the talk of the town.
- Lavish Lifestyle – Live a life of luxury and glamour. Obtain numerous celebrity perks as your Sim’s celebrity status soars. Showcase chic clothing out and about, or even adorn your abode with alluring gold-plated furniture!
The Sims 4 Get Famous (which can be pre-ordered from Origin) will be released on November 15th 2018 for PC and Mac, and will cost $39.99 to purchase.

Finally!
[dropcap]F[/dropcap]ans of The Sims will be pleased to hear that EA Games have finally announced the release of a long-awaited The Sims 4 Seasons expansion pack. Fittingly, the expansion pack (that will be released for PC and Mac on June 22nd), will be entitled The Sims 4 Seasons.
Features of the new expansion include
- Four different seasons. Prepare to wrap-up for winter, or swelter in the summer sun.
- Seasonal Activities. From summer pool parties, to winter ice-skating.
- Calendar and Holiday Celebrations. Celebrate traditional holidays as well as creating your own. Exchange gifts with friends and family, maintain traditions, and even entertain special guests.
- Gardening Career. Green-fingered Simmers will even be able to start a career in gardening, as either a botanist or a flower arranger.
The new addition to the beloved series is described in more depth here, in a light-hearted manner which the kooky series is notorious for.
EA games have already made the game available for pre-order. The game can be pre-purchased here for £34.99.
Fans have impatiently waited since 2014 for a season-themed expansion, and have only recently been graced with the pet-themed expansion pack, The Sims 4 Cats+Dogs.
Pets and Seasons aren’t the only things we’ve had to wait for. Upon it’s release in 2014, there was an outcry over the game’s lack of pools and toddlers. This lead to a hasty patch from developers, in order to appease the aquaphiles and broody hens.
The Sims 4 may be lacking in certain elements, but snow makes everything better right? ❄
