The Sims 4 has made some impressive strides when it comes to inclusivity within these last few years, thanks almost entirely to community pressure. In 2021, collaborations with the community brought us some great new content - EA started bringing in famous Simmers to build houses for their new Expansion Packs and began responding to community feedback with tangible changes and content updates. The more EA leans into the strength of the Sims community, the better the game gets, and it's clear that there's plans to continue collaborating with Simmers this year. While the reactions to a potential Love Game Pack are mixed, overall players seem excited about the Sroadmap. The pack includes the chance to "go on a variety of dates at all-new locations or be the matchmaker for your friends." The details include features like blind dates and group dates at new locations, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and weddings that are "bigger than ever." It's very likely that this will be the new Game Pack hinted at in the road map, so if you're into matchmaking and reality TV dating shows, The Sims 4 is about to get very fun. Reddit user u/Ramusu20 pointed out (opens in new tab) that a recent survey about future content included a Game Pack called The Sims 4 Love Life. And if The Sims 4 Reddit is correct, we may already know what the newest expansion pack will be… Love and inclusivityĮA smartly taps into its Sims community at almost every turn, asking for opinions on upcoming Expansion Packs, Game Packs, community collaborations, and more. If the paid content is as good as last year's, then I can safely say 2022 will be a solid year for Simmers. If not, expect another year of rather vocal Sims players adding to their wish lists and doing the math to figure out just how much all the DLC in The Sims 4 actually costs (it's a lot).Ģ022 has the potential to be a year of balance, with EA putting both free and paid content on the table.
Kits are a great way to get a handful of new content without shelling out more than a few bucks, but it does beg the question: what's the true delineation between free and premium content? If a balance can be struck between Kits and SDX content, it'll demonstrate to players that EA is acting in good faith and investing in The Sims 4's future. However, after unpacking the vague "road map," it's clear that EA isn't giving up on Kits just yet, which will likely leave players divided. EA can use this format to add more themed goodies, more Create-A-Sim components, and more build items without tasking players with updating the base install, as SDX items download quickly in-game. SDX updates in the future should include more than just a single hairstyle or some holiday food.
