    The Sims 4 has been around for more than six years and received a total of sixteen Game and Expansion Packs. SimGurus on Twitter have been teasing the next expansion and everything points at a The Sims 4 Farming Expansion.

    Farming in video games is more popular than ever with Stardew Valley still supported by a strong active community and even Animal Crossing New Horizons introducing farming elements.

    Sims 4 Farming Expansion Pack

    The Sims community team asked fans to guess what the next expansion pack might be, while many fans were hopping to see a theme park expansion, SimGurus immediately denied that it could be theme park expansion.

    Then some more hints were made when SimGuruNinja changed his twitter profile image to a character from a MySims Farmer game that was cancelled by EA many years ago.

    The concept art shows a farming character from the cancelled MySims Farming project.

    Farming Content Would be a great match

    The Sims 4 Seasons already introduced some farming aspects that tie in with the seasons. A greater elaboration on the farming feature, allowing for more crops to be grown would be a wonderful addition to the franchise.

    Think Stardew Valley meets The Sims 4 with a wide variety of plants, trees, vegetables and maybe even livestock! It looks like EA and Maxis are getting close to revealing the next expansion pack, lets wait and see what it might entail!

    Start Farming IRL!

    In the latest free update for The Sims 4 on December 12th, 2019 for PC and Mac, the developers over at Maxis have added large bug fixes and improvements to the core game and their expansions. Most recently those expansions include: Island Living. Realm of Magic, and Discover University. You can check out the full patch notes on EA’s official website here. However, what’s not in that update list is the fact that you can now purchase in-game the best new item that is Baby Yoda.

    If you’ve been on the internet lately you probably heard about the new streaming service Disney+ and their popular new original Stars Wars show The Mandalorian. In an episode named “The Child”, the internet immediately fell in love with the new character that’s of the same race as beloved franchise character Yoda. Since we don’t have a name for said race, this new character has been dubbed Baby Yoda.

    All you have to do is go to your Build/Buy Mode to add this adorable decoration to your Sims’ home! Baby Yoda is officially named ‘The Child Statue’ in The Sims 4, costs 504 simoleons, and the descriptions says, “This statue is a lovable replica inspired by the Disney+ live action series, The Mandalorian.”

    The Sims 4 Discover University is an expansion pack where you indulge into daily college life, make friends, find classes to attend and it wouldn’t be The Sims if there wasn’t building and decorating. As you move to the university of your choice you will be building and decorating up your dorm room to give it that personal touch!

    The gameplay reveal trailer for The Sims 4 Discover University is set to release tomorrow October 22nd. However The Sims team didn’t shy back to release a small teaser snippet, check it out below along with some of the new features you can expect from the next expansion pack for The Sims 4!

    The Sims 4 Discover University – Preorder now to hit the books and show your school spirit in The Sims 4 Discover university Expansion Pack, where Sims enroll in school, explore collegiate experiences, and enjoy extracurricular activities. Take classes that set your Sims up for success in engineering, education, or law careers. Discover robotics and ping-pong, plus make some mischief pulling pranks against the rival school. Study hard, sleep in, and high-five the school mascot – just make sure to keep those grades up!

    Settle into School – Welcome to Britechester! Begin a new chapter for your Sim when they enroll in the historical University of Britechester or modern Foxbury Institute. Live in a dorm room or off-campus, explore Britechester on a bicycle, spend time in the student commons, and have a study session at the library. Cheer on the student body at a school spirit event and wear school colors to show your Sim’s pride.

    Stay Classy – Sims enroll in the University that piques their interest, finding classes in biology, computer science, art history, and even villainy. Attend a lecture or work on term papers and presentations – the more your Sim learns, the better they will be in careers like teaching, law, and engineering. Going to classes or blowing them off will affect your Sim’s grades, so time management is a must.

    Meet, Mingle, and Explore – How your Sim embraces college life is up to them. They can study all night to complete homework or chill out and sleep in. And, with activities like juice pong, juggling a soccer ball, and hanging out with roommates, taking a break has never been so fun! Plus your Sim can join school organizations like robotics, debate, art, or even a mesterious secret society. As the school year progresses, Sims become their best selves and discover who they are meant to be.

    Empress Your Campus Style – Make your Sim’s space cozy with dorm room decor that reflects their personality with objects like posters and a mini-fridge. Then, develop their personal style in any way you choose – whether wearing late-for-class sweatpants of their best self-slacks, there’s always a way to show school spirit or impress a classmate.

    • 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.

    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? ❄
