First of all, a base game update is set to arrive on September 18 on PC. The update will release five days later on console. This is an earlier release date than was originally planned, which is intended to help the team correct for errors and problems across the multitude of Sims players' set-ups and configs. Additionally, modders and content creators can use the extra time to update their offerings ahead of the upcoming expansion Adventure Awaits.

The Sims 4 has a lot of content; there's no debating that. After 11 years and dozens of expansions and other DLC, there's no shortage of stuff to do in this game. But for most folks, playing house the normal way eventually gets old. You've played the way EA wants you to play, you've found a pretty solid stable of mods you like, and now you wanna try something new. It's time to dabble in some community challenges.

Since the beginning of the decade, The Sims 4 has shown a consistent preoccupation with sustainable living and reclaiming industrial spaces. Its most recent add-on, July 2025's Enchanted by Nature expansion, is just the latest DLC to tackle a theme that was already present in the aptly-named Eco Lifestyle expansion pack, as well as the Cottage Living and Horse Ranch packs, the Tiny Living stuff pack, and the Werewolves game pack (that last title sounds a little left-field, but trust me, it fits the theme).

The Sims 4 has received continuous updates, introducing a vast array of content over the years, making it rich with secrets and surprises for players.

Currently, a significant bug in The Sims 4 marks all Sims as pregnant, preventing standard gameplay actions such as taking pregnancy tests or achieving age milestones.

The Sims 4 is a complex game that slows and destabilizes with more mods and hundreds of downloaded Sims, causing messy gameplay and long load times.

Once your Sim meets another Sim and gets to know them, they'll be able to go on dates and begin the courtship process, and the game will tell you if the two are compatible.
