The Sims 4 got an amazing FREE base game update (with new gameplay)

The Sims 4 Gameplay update for August 2023! In this free Sims 4 base game update, we got some new items with some new gameplay functionality.

I discuss the latest Sims 4 news and updates.

*im not wearing lipstick my lips just naturally look like this.

The "no feeding the animals" sign was a "Dont take the Cowplant's cake" sign!

the bar is so low we're excited about an item from the base game that should've been functional when the base game was released almost a decade ago finally becoming functional. jesus christ.

Has anyone noticed The Sims team always releases a free base game update after any controversy? Like a diversion tactic 😂

Not going to lie I thought the title was you being sarcastic 🤣🤣

The backpack would be great for a teen runaway let’s play.

"tons of new stuff" i wouldn't say that, this update didn't add that much. I want a BIG base game update. I mean hobbies, nicknames, new worlds, new cas items, just MORE GAMEPLAY.

Personally, I don't think this update means anything other than "hey look over here at this shiny new thing" and not all the people who are still struggling with the EA app or everyone who is just over the sims bs right now. Not to mention, if I were sims management, I would be genuinely terrified of LBY hence why they are adding stuff and trying to keep people engaged with their product.

they always release something when something is wrong w the game and a lot of ppl just end up forgetting it bc of little releases like this 😅

Fingers crossed for a Get to Work refresh🤞 Its #1 on my list for a refresh.

that lunchbox is game changing for rags to riches challenges

[joyfulgirl]

There is quite often pee all over the women’s seats because of “hovering” to avoid touching anything. You have to either hover yourself or use a paper cover. Whether I’m peeing after a man or a woman isn’t something I worry about in a public toilet. I mainly worry about there being any soap to wash my hands afterward.

[alexrozzatty]

I'm actually surprised this wasn't released to us in a "My First Lunchbox" stuff pack 😂🙈😂

[Emymagdalena]

Get to Work definitely needs a refresh, in particular, a full world. And I’d love to have visit-able work lots inside that world. I want to take my sims to the hospital when they’re sick!

[bryncheeze]

I took a break from Sims content and I come back to find that we're celebrating lunchboxes going into backpacks... I think everyone could use a break

[lxxsh]

Omg! Ea finally gives something not shallow! Aka the bare minimum
Edit: nvm 😍🥰

[NessaPhillips]

People can complain you are "negative" as much as they want, but let me tell ya, when you say you actually like something or that it's good I trust that it must actually be good!

[LaurenElizabethYT]

You know how you can name the wine racks in Horse Ranch? It’d be cool if we could name backpacks too, helpful if you’re using several to sort the inventory lol.

“We are slowly letting Sims 4 fade away to the point it’s not even functional but here’s a shit-ton of signs for you to use” -papa EA

[jashakasha]

Wait, is this a prank? Since when does ea actually do the bare minimum as a multi-billion dollar company?

[LaurenElizabethYT]

Omg the backpack!!!! Years ago, I used Sims 4 Studio to make a mod like this (but I have no modding talent) but I just saved the mesh + textures from the backpack and applied them to a storage box. Which is functional but it still has the shadow of the box so it looks a little weird, but I still use it all the time. Usually every kid sim will have their own storage backpack in their room. I’m really excited to have the EA version be functional now!!! And excited for new swatches of them too
