The final game to be shown off during yesterday's
EA Play livestream was
The Sims 4. There, an upcoming expansion for the game was revealed, it's called
"Island Living," and is set to release on June 21st for the PC and Mac. On July 16th, it'll arrive on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
As always, this new expansion will include a plethora of new characters, furniture, clothing, and more. This titular island is known as Sulani and it houses everything from beach parties to mermaids and dolphins. Below you can check out the official description of the coming expansion:
The expansion pack introduces the beautiful, sun-soaked world of Sulani, where for the first time in The Sims 4, Sims can enjoy activities in the clear blue waters surrounding the island, setting sail in a peaceful canoe or going on a wild aqua zip ride alongside pods of playful dolphins that surround the island. Sims can also swim to their heart’s content, build sandcastles on the shore, or kick back and relax under the sun. Sims will immerse themselves into the Sulani lifestyle by learning local folklore, tasting traditional delicacies, dressing in tropical garb or decorating their new oasis with objects inspired by the local culture.
The expansion also brings another career option: “Players can try out a new conservationist career for Sims who want to make a change in their newfound home and play with life like never before. The more Sims clean up and care for their environment, the more lush and full of explosive nature it becomes. Or Sims will take on protecting beachgoers as a lifeguard, taking on odd jobs or fishing for their next meal.”
The Sims as a franchise has always been quite inclusive and with Pride Month going on, new items are set to be added to The Sims 4 to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community. As well as rainbow-patterned clothing and the like, there will now be transgender Sims and gender-neutral toilets.
