The Sims 4 Patch Notes (Coming Soon)
Terrain Tools, First Person Mode, and Stylist Career News
On November 13, Sims players will receive a free patch for The Sims 4 which includes a few new features along with tons of bug fixes and improvements (hopefully). When the patch notes arrive, I'll post them here and link to an official source. For now we don't have tons of details on how things work, but we've seen the new tools, career and first person mode in action. I'll link to youtube summaries I did that describe the patch features for now, so you can see what's ahead.
Terrain Tools
During this livestream, the new terrain functions were introduced and examined in detail. Click here to see the text guide I've made that teaches you to use Terrain Tools. Players will be able to make very large hills, small dips and everything in between. This will give builders many more options for how they create houses, as different elevations can be used. It'll take a while to get used to it, but they're very powerful. The impact of terrain caused them to make modifications of how rooms are defined, allowing entire blocks to be moved around and resized as needed.
Until I make a proper video guide, check the livestream summary to learn what you can do. Click here to view on Youtube: Terrain Tools for Sims 4, else view in your browser below.
Style Influencer Career
A style influencer career was announced during the Maxis Monthly livestream for October. This career will have two branches, and Sims who make it to high levels will be able to influence the fashion choices of Sims in the game. This will go wonderfully with Get Famous, but also fits nicely into the base game and will help with ugly Sims (or make more of them) so it's nice of the developers to give it freely to everyone.
Explore My Mods! Color Picker for Builders, Seasons Tuner, Dine Out Reloaded and a Gameplay Overhaul! Like other modders, I've been working to make The Sims 4 a better game. Check out my many mods here!
The most recent gameplay livestream introduced the Sims 4 Get Famous' Celebrity system, which will allow Sims to achieve fame and purchase powerful perks while maintaining their reputation. Toward the end, a first person mode was announced (see a guide only to First Person Mode Here. This will allow players to see the game world through their Sims' eyes, and special control functions have been put in that will allow you to interact in a limited way during this mode. Look toward the end for the First Person announcement.
Stay tuned. A lot is coming all at once with the Get Famous Expansion Pack also releasing on November 16. I'll be covering everything, but it'll take some time. I should have a lot out in the first week, so stop by again. Thank you all for reading.

I have much more to come, since you can actually write a few guides about this pack!
Calling all Blender Users
Blender has been incredibly useful in video production, so I made my own Physics and Simulation Improvement Addon that lumps a ton of unique tools into one compact interface.
Sims 4 Snowy Escape
The Sims 4 Snowy Escape launches November 13, 2020 and my coverage has started. Until I get my review ready, you can learn about the following:
There is a new platform tool in The Sims 4. There's also a new Sentiments system, but it'll take some time to create a guide to that. Players can also use rental lots in any world now by changing lot types of builds in manage worlds.
Best Mods in Sims 4
I've created a massive List of The Best Mods in The Sims 4 that should be very helpful to new players and those who have not yet explored modding and how much it can do for your gameplay.
Readers who use adblock or those who'd like to thank me for my efforts can now pledge $1/$5 monthly via Patreon. This helps a lot with server costs and provides some stability for my business.
I now have a guide page to Tiny Living Stuff where you can learn about Murphy Beds, the new death, as well as the lot bonuses you'll receive if you manage to keep the size of your lot down with this new pack's Tiny Home Lot Type.
Let's Play Playlist
New I now have a guide to Making Super Sims in The Sims 4. Look for a text version within the next 72h. It won't have THAT much more info but it will help out as a checklist.
This was inspired by a series, "Let's Play a Super Sim" in which I start at toddler and gradually take on the major bonuses. Here's a link to each part for people who are interested. You can also see the Let's Play as a Playlist on Youtube.
The Sims 4 Discover University has been announced for November 15 for PC/Mac and December 17 for Xbox and Playstation 4 consoles. Click to learn more about the pack, see my summary of the livestream or read our FAQs below.
