If you’re wondering what you’re going to do all summer long, here’s something you’ll want to put on your Christmas wish list. The Sims 4 lets you create your very own world where YOU call the shots and you’re in charge of where you live and how you spend your time.
The Sims 4 gives you the power to design your destiny. You create the characters, whether they’re a version of you, your friends or the friends you’d like to have. From the ins and outs of their daily lives, to where they live, what they wear, their friendships and relationships, it’s your call. Start a summer romance – or break one up! Throw an epic party. Shop ‘til you drop. Build a career. Or build your dream house and pool and play with your pet dolphin. No two days are the same, because you decide what every day looks like. Here’s how it works:
Create your best life!
Create your Sims: A variety of Sims characters are yours to personalise with distinct appearances and personalities. Bring them to life by giving them their own personality traits, personal style and tell their life story through their hopes and dreams.
Mode. Plan the layout, furnish it and add a pool or a garden.
Travel and explore: Discover amazing new places as you move about. Your Sims can visit new communities to expand their social circle, meet and hang out with friends or throw awesome parties.
Create and connect: Use the Gallery to find inspiration from a community of players just like you, where you can add content to your game or share your own creations. Download, like, and comment on your favorite Sims, homes, and fully designed rooms. Join the community, join the fun!
Expand your horizons
Once you’ve built you’re The Sims 4 world you can expand it even more with cool add-on episode packs, like the new Island Living and Discover University extensions (sold separately).
Island Living
Take your characters to a tropical island paradise! Welcome to Sulani, where it’s sunny by day and chill by night. Get around by canoe, swim in the beautiful sea, meet a mermaid and build sandcastles with your friends. Get to know the local traditions and folklore, meet the island’s ancestors and taste the local delicacies.
Become a lifeguard to watch over the locals or become a conservationist and clean up the beaches and watch your Sims community have a positive impact on the island. Get your tropical vibe on and dress your Sims in the latest island gear, or kit them out for a snorkel or scuba dive. Dress up or down: it’s your island, rock it your way.
Discover University
Send your Sims to uni! Get them settled into the traditional University of Britechester or the cutting-edge Foxbury Institute. Set them up in a dorm or apartment you’ve decorated, explore the campus and hang out with friends in the student commons. Enrol your Sims into subjects of interest (hello, you can even study villany!) but make sure they go to class because cutting class will affect their grades!
Your Sims can study (or party, or sleep) all night, your call, and you get to choose what they do for fun. As the year progresses and your Sims settle into Uni life, you’ll see them live their best lives, make friends and blossom into the best version of themselves. You’ll be so proud!
With The Sims 4 you can unleash your creativity to design your destiny just how you want it to be! We can’t think of a better Christmas present than that.
