Expansion: Growing Together
A new expansion pack for the Sims 4 – “Growing Together” – has been announced today.
The pack focuses on living a life full of important moments and shared memories. The way Sims connect with each other and feel about their life will be deeper than ever, with slumber parties and midlife crises. The expansion will come with a new world to play in and many new gameplay and decorative items.
The new expansion will be released on the 16th of March 2023.
Players who pre-order or buy the pack before the 27th of April 2023 will get additional bonus content: A swing, a slide and a power-walking training machine.
Infants
After teasing this update at the last Sims Summit, the Sims team announced that the new life stage “infant” will be added to the base game as a free update on the 14th of March 2023. Infants are positioned between babies and toddlers and come with many new items and animations to make them unique. Adult Sims can carry infants around while they do other tasks and care for their little ones, creating special bonding moments.
