The Sims 4 Growing Together is almost here, and the latest in the line of Sims 4 expansion packs is absolutely full to bursting with new additions to freshen up one of the best life games on PC. The theme this time, of course, is family – but that means everything from building treehouses and learning to ride a bike, to long-term house guests and lifetime milestone mementos. There’s also an overhaul to likes and dislikes, and the way they affect Sim interactions, and the arrival of new map San Sequoia, so let’s take a look at what to expect.
Much like everyone’s favourite Fast & Furious lead Dom Toretto, The Sims 4 expansion Growing Together is all about family. That means it’s packed with all the sorts of items you’d expect, from back carriers and baby changing tables to friendship bracelets, and even outdoor party items such as splash pads that allow you to set up your own water play area. Perhaps even more significant, however, are the additions and overhauls to core systems.
You can now build a treehouse in your backyard – this is placed down as a simple tree, which can then be built out by your Sims as long as at least one teen Sim or older is present. There’s customisation options to include the likes of ladders, slides, and firefighter poles, and you can choose between four different decoration styles to suit your Sims’ tastes. Once built, you can put objects such as Telescopes on the deck, and have your Sims hang out there and play – and, yes, adult Sims even have the option to WooHoo there.
There’s a new option to have Sims initiate ‘temporary stay overs’ – these are longer term than the simple one-day visits that you might be used to, and allow other Sims to pitch up in your place for potentially days or weeks.
