The Sims 4 from Maxis and EA is by far one of next year’s most anticipated games, and we hardly know anything about it yet! The Sims franchise is lucrative to say the least, and has a die hard fanbase that are always eager for the next installment, the next improvement and the next lot of stuff they can make their Sim do. At this year’s EB Games Expo, I was able to sit down with a very early build of the new Create-A-Sim and see if the game looks like it will live up to the hype.
A free Sims 4 update adds The Coach Collection, introducing new Create a Sim outfits, accessories, and décor items.

***The Values of The Sims Are Unchanged.***
Tell us enough times and we might start believing you.
***That’s why we’re building a family of new Sims experiences across PC, console, and mobile. Each experience carries the heart, humor, creativity, and lore you love, while introducing its own world, focus, and way to play. Every experience will stand strong on its own. And together, they open up a larger world of possibilities. ***
This is marketing speak that could mean anything and nothing.
EA writes: "Today’s update features an extensive list of over 150 bug fixes based on feedback from the EA Forums and social media. You told us what was blocking the fun, and we prioritized those fixes to get you right back to it!
Along with those fixes, we have a free content drop showcasing West African-themed items for Create a Sim and Build Mode, a new loc hairstyle, and a community-made item that celebrates a major milestone. Stay tuned for more including two new Creator Kits, dropping on November 13!"
