Game developer Electronic Arts have been trying to keep their simmers happy for the past few months with gameplay updates as well introducing Get To Work and Outdoor Retreat expansions. Last month brought the release of the Luxury Party Pack and this month EA presents a whole new world to players called "Newcrest".
May 20 marked the release of EA's first ever stuff pack for the Sims 4 titled Luxury Party Pack. This new pack provided gamers a host of new hairstyles, makeup, outfits, bars and other celebration items that enabled the Sim players to throw lavish parties in style. It also contains two new gameplay objects which introduced several new recipes and concoctions. Overall, 52 items have been added to the pack, which costs $9.99. Although this gave simmers something new to tinker with, it still wasn't as satisfying as hearing that there's a whole new neighborhood coming for players to explore in.
Earlier this week, EA took to Twitter to announce the release of a new world for Sims to move into called "Newcrest". The new world of Newcrest will automatically be added to the base game for free on June 11. Simmers can now create more houses or a commercial district with this new expansion. Game developers have even created three neighborhoods within Newcrest, each with five vacant lots of varying sizes that simmers can use.
This free game update is EA's response to the request of numerous game fans for a bigger world for their sims to live in. "We know that many of you wanted more room to expand, but didn't have the heart to evict the likes of Bella Goth, Malcolm Landgraab, and Bob Pancakes. We can't blame you - who would want to live in a world without the Goths? That's why we made Newcrest a clean slate," EA said.
Currently the base game only has two worlds, each with seven neighborhoods. Even with the addition of the Get To Work and Outdoor Retreat expansions, the number of lots that simmers can unleash their creativity on is really lacking. The permanent addition of Newcrest to Sims 4 is definitely a welcome one.
Die-hard players of this life simulation game are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Sims 4 new expansion. The world of Newcrest will be released on June 11 and players will need an internet connection to download the new content via Origin.
