Alright, let’s dive in. So, The Sims 4 just threw out this survey thing, and it’s kind of like they’re asking us what we want. Why? Because when it first launched in September 2014, it was, well, kind of bare-bones. I remember when babies would just morph into kids. Seriously, no crawling, no toddling – just boom, kid. Now? Thanks to a bunch of updates, you’ve got newborns becoming little infants, then toddlers, and eventually, regular kids. Wild progression, right?
So, every now and then, the team drops these major patches. Like, take the Infant update, for example. They also do these smaller tweaks through this thing called Sims Delivery Express. And wow, have they brought some inclusive stuff into the game! Now, your Sims can sport hearing aids, binders, or even declare custom pronouns. It’s pretty neat. You can even whip up cultural dishes or, like, celebrate different holidays that were totally not in the game before. I mean, who decided to throw a virtual Diwali party? Props.
Oh, wait — where was I? Right, the survey! So, it’s this sneaky little hint that there’s more free stuff to come. They’re asking players (like you and me) what else we need. I saw a Reddit post, and someone was buzzing over the possibility of Iranian culture making it into the game. No idea why, but that stuck with me.
Interestingly, the survey wording suggests they’re all about adding more cultures and cool features, without charging us a dime. I guess that’s their way of dodging the whole “too much paid DLC” complaints. Honestly, kind of a relief that they don’t want us dropping cash for the basics.
And let’s talk about the Lovestruck expansion. It’s got this world — Ciudad Enamorada. Think Mexican city vibes. You want those Build Mode goodies? Gotta pay up for the expansion. But wait, they did toss recipes like Pao de Queijo into the game for free through updates. Pretty solid, huh?
I’m excited (and curious) to see what we voted for actually popping in-game. Gender-neutral stuff? Maybe some new holidays or national dishes? Sky’s the limit, I guess. If you’re itching to get involved, you can find the survey link, too. Dive in, cast your votes, and let’s see where this goes.
