User blog:Woganhemlock/The Sims Wiki News - 8th February 2015

There's a fair few things to cover this week. I'm also writing this late at night. I'll probably forget half the things I wanted to cover. Let's get to it.

The Sims news
EA officially announced The Sims 4: Get to Work, the first of presumably many expansion packs for The Sims 4. This expansion pack looks to be a successor to both The Sims 2: Open for Business and, more recently, The Sims 3: Ambitions. Some notable additions are the re-addition of aliens, the addition of two new skills, baking and photography, a couple of new careers and the ability to run a business. You can read about it in more detail in both our article and on the official page on thesims.com. The prices look very similar to those of TS3 EP's and its set to be released in April 2015. As always, details will be reported as soon as possible, either on our social media accounts, in one of these blogs, or on the article itself which we'll try to keep up to date. Remember to cite any information you add for titles in development!
 * First expansion pack for TS4 announced!

15 years ago this week, the very first Sims game was released for PC. The Sims has gone on to sell over 15 million copies worldwide, securing a place as one of the best selling PC games in history, spawning three sequels, numerous expansion packs, a hugely dedicated fanbase, and, of course, this site. Here's to another 15 years!

Message from the author
Its been a big week, both in The Sims and on The Sims Wiki. I'd like to end this blog by thanking everyone who uses this site, both the administrators, the editors, and you, the reader. Without your support we would never have grown to the size we have managed to reach. As we celebrate these two milestones this week, its a good time to reflect on where we've came from and how we've got there. Thank you, to all of you! I'm certain everyone else feels the same way as well.

With that being said I think everything has been covered. Leave a comment if you have something to add, have feedback, or if I've missed something. Alternatively, leave a message on my talkpage. See ya!
