Yeah, I've thought of the gift idea :-) just gotta get my friends and family to agree lol

Yup, our exchange rate is in the toilet, $1 = R13.59 (so almost 14 bucks!)

I'm hoping we have another contest/giveaway here and that I'm lucky enough to win. But, if not, c'est la vie as they say in the classics!!

I hope you can convince them to do the gift option (or wait for a big sale, if you have to, and then, ask them) or that you win that giveaway!

Wow!  I can't believe what your exchange rate is!

Sing Your Heart Out with Karaoke in The Sims 4 City Living

4 OCTOBER 2016
BY GRANT RODIEK

Oh, karaoke. How we love thee. From tone-deaf locals, to undiscovered superstars, karaoke bars are full of wacky characters and fascinating stories to tell. We think that karaoke is the perfect Sims activity – it’s silly, it’s fun, and it's coming in The Sims™4 City Living* Expansion Pack this November!



Whilst your Sims can have the Karaoke Machine in their homes, we've also built two new Karaoke Bar venues, Planet Honey Pop and Waterside Warble, for players that want to skip straight to the off-key, awkward moments we all want to see. Sims can also use the Karaoke Machine to build the new Singing Skill, which means there’s hope for us all with a little patience and practice! You'll find songs from a variety of catchy genres, including jazz, pop, disco, and more. Even better, each song has a hilarious video to accompany it! It’s a treat for the eyes and ears!

Your Sim can sing solo if they’re bold, or in a duet if they want to bring someone else along for the fun. Tones and pitch will collide as multiple Sims try their best to harmonize. It’s delightful or painful, depending on your perspective. Honestly, we’ve never laughed harder with a feature!



Karaoke isn’t just about the singing; it will also affect those in attendance. Sims might love what they hear. Or, they might cringe and wither uncomfortably under the barrage of auditory assaults! The only way to fix things is to send your Sim to take the mic themselves.

If you’re curious what that sound is, it’s Planet Honey Pop! Wouldn’t you rather send your Sim there to contribute to the hilarity? The karaoke machine is one our favourite objects in The Sims 4 City Living and we cannot wait until you get to experience it for yourself.

Plan a Perfect Wedding in Center Park in The Sims 4 City Living

6 OCTOBER 2016
BY GRANT RODIEK

When your Sim first moved to San Myshuno, they never expected to fall in love. But, they met their one true love at the Romance Festival a few months later and after living together in a “comfy” mid-range apartment, they want to tie the knot. They could go back to Willow Creek, sure, but in the city of San Myshuno there's a beautiful park tucked away that few people know about, and it’s the perfect venue for the ultimate The Sims™ 4 City Living* wedding!



To schedule a wedding event, you can simply use the Event Planner on your Sim’s phone. Then just send everyone you want to invite over to Myshuno Meadows and carry out the ceremony! The Sims 4 City Living also gives you several new options to liven up your wedding if you're ready for something new.

For one, why cook when you can have food carts sell delicious food from your favorite cultures? Yum, that sounds like a tasty wedding. Just don’t let your Sims wipe their hands on their fancy clothes. Speaking of fancy clothes, the venue has a dedicated dressing room so you can plan your wedding outfits on the spot if you forgot to plan ahead!



Secondly, someone can bring along the new electric piano, which is carried in a Sim’s inventory unlike the traditional piano.

Finally, if you head to a festival, you can bring your favorite fireworks. If you don't manage to get them in time, don’t worry! At the moment of the critical wedding smooch, the fireworks provided by the mildly fire-safety conscious park staff will explode. This makes for a truly explosive finale that guests and family members will be discussing for ages.

We wanted every part of San Myshuno to feel special, and this park is no exception. If your Sim finds their true love, consider this venue for their wedding!

[MarianT]

I love that there will be a dressing room at the wedding venue, and I hope this means that you can pick out different outfits for the bride and groom.

[Playalot]

Yay, no more wedding 'corners' in my sims gardens, I was getting a bit tired of that look!

[oshizu]

@FrancescaFiori
Hurry and go break up that wedding! You need to nab that bridegroom for Pernille!

[FrancescaFiori]

LOL. Indeed, he is adorable, and he and Pernille would look really good together, but there's no way I'll be able to hold out until November to get her married.

Despite the fact that many Guru's have said they didn't just want to bring back things from old expansions, City Living is basically the epitome of doing just that.  Graffiti?  Been there, done that in TS3.  Apartments?  All the way from TS2 and beyond. Even some of the costumes are like some seen in TS3, mainly the India inspired ones.  Festivals and food courts?  Done that in TS3.  Now, am I complaining about it?  HECK NO!  Bring it on and let me give a rousing IT'S ABOUT TIME to it.  I loved all those things in TS2 and TS3 so of course I'm going to love it all in TS4.  Whhaaaa hooo!  My only problem now is, is there a link so I can pre-order it via this forum?  Ordering from the forum helps support the forum so I'm hoping we can pre-order from here.  Anyone know the cost?

@Joria

There isn't a way to order through this site, anymore.

Expansion Packs are $40 in the US at their full price.

[Joria]

Thank you.  That's so sad for Carl and us as well.

I know!  I wish we could still get packs via site links.

I'm pretty excited for this, though it doesn't look like we'll get to build our own apartment buildings? That's what I loved about Apartments in TS2 - you could design the whole thing from the ground up and that seemed to be a little bit less doable in TS3 (though I really didn't play TS3 very much at all so I could be wrong).

You may knock out walls of penthouses and paint/remodel them with stuff --- including pools.  At least, that's part of the upcoming pack!

I did see that, and that looks pretty cool, but that's still just building a single apartment. In TS2, I was able to replicate the townhouses I lived in 4 years ago, the terrace houses that line the inner city streets of my town, and even build the suburban apartment building I live in currently from the ground up. I hope I'm wrong and they just don't consider that a feature worth showcasing here, but it doesn't really look like you can do that in this expansion.

I don't mean to sound like I'm whinging, as it still has lots of other features I'm looking forward to - new careers and skills; here's hoping it comes with more than one new aspiration, too! (Also it's released super-close to my birthday, so it's definitely at the top of my list.)
