Avid players of the life simulation game "The Sims 4" have been eagerly awaiting for news of upcoming expansion packs and other downloadable content (DLC). Latest gaming rumors may have revealed some interesting details about the speculated "City Life" DLC, as well as toddler characters.
Previous reports have hinted of a city-themed expansion pack that may soon be available for "The Sims 4" players. Electronic Arts (EA) has neither denied nor confirmed the news. However, an anonymous email sent to the fansite Sims Community may have given gamers a look at a potential box art design and game features.
The email was said to contain the subject "City Life" along with a screenshot of what appears to be a scanned copy of a printed image. The design for the speculated third expansion pack has shown three Sims where one character held a pamphlet in her hands, while another had a haughty look on her face as she tipped a pair of sunglasses down her nose. On the other hand, the third character featured a male Sim spinning a basketball on the tip of his finger.
Apart from the said image, the anonymous email sender has also listed some of the features included in the speculated "City Life" DLC. Gamers may potentially see apartments in the third expansion pack, along with city cultural festivals. A new career and skill may also be introduced specifically the politics career path and a basketball sporting ability.
In other news, some players have discovered game files that hint of the potential introduction of toddlers. A report posted on Sims VIP has shared interesting characters' details as discovered by some of the game's modders or players who create gaming mods for "The Sims 4." The said game files contain codes and textures that appear to be for a character that is bigger than a Sim baby.
"The Sims 4" toddlers has been a character that many players have requested to be added to the game. However, the gaming company has already confirmed to Sims VIP that the recently discovered game files were used to create a special Sims family image for EA executive Andrew Wilson. The said image was released in 2015 to commemorate the birth of Wilson's child. One of the EA CEO's child was still a toddler at that time.
Gamers would need to wait for an official announcement from EA on the inclusion of toddlers, as well as the details for the highly anticipated "The Sims 4" new expansion pack.
