The Sims 4 has officially launched its latest expansion pack, introducing a vibrant array of new careers, interactive gameplay options, and an inviting new town to discover. Building on previous expansions that enhanced the game’s life simulation elements—from tranquil living in the countryside to pet care through cats and dogs—this new release takes a fresh approach by focusing on the dynamic world of small businesses and diverse skill sets.
Dubbed the Businesses & Hobbies Expansion Pack, this addition introduces thrilling activities such as tattooing and pottery. Details shared on the EA website are complemented by an engaging reveal trailer on The Sims YouTube channel, showcasing the newly featured skills that allow players to express their creativity and generate income through services and products.
What to Expect from The Sims 4 Businesses & Hobbies Expansion Pack
Unlocking Creativity: Two New Skills
Among the exciting new features is the tattoing skill, which offers players vast creative possibilities. Gamers can choose to either apply pre-designed tattoos or tap into their artistic flair by creating unique custom designs using the new Tattoo Paint Mode. This mode allows for the layering of tattoo styles, including selections from past content packs, with further options unlocked as players develop their skills.
Additionally, the introduction of the Pottery Wheel skill allows creative Sims to craft a variety of items such as tea sets and pottery planters. As Sims improve their pottery expertise, they can master the traditional Japanese art of Kintsugi, celebrating imperfections by transforming broken pieces into stunning works of art—ideal for gifting or selling in their business ventures.
The new town, Nordhaven, provides a picturesque backdrop for Sims to explore and cultivate their hobbies alongside fellow enthusiasts. The community encourages skill development through hobby meetups, mentorship programs, and educational classes, allowing Sims to earn Mastery Perks as they hone their talents.
Revolutionizing Gameplay: Turning Hobbies into Businesses
Endless Business Opportunities for Players
The Businesses & Hobbies expansion brings an invigorating twist to existing gameplay by allowing players to transform nearly any skill or hobby into a fully operational business. The newly introduced Ticket Kiosk enables Sims to charge for services either through one-time fees or hourly rates, offering flexibility in how they generate income.
Players can expand their entrepreneurial horizons by establishing pet cafés using the Cats and Dogs Expansion Pack, launching an all-hours gaming arcade from the Get Together Expansion Pack, or even creating an acting school with the Get Famous Expansion Pack. As highlighted by EA, the mantra for this expansion is, “if your Sim can dream it, then you can live it and achieve it!” The Businesses & Hobbies Expansion Pack for The Sims 4 is now available for $39.99 on the EA website.
