User blog:K6ka/The Sims Wiki News - 5th July, 2015

So... hopefully we all got over the American patriotism and Canadian awesomeness this past week. Let's end this patriotic week and start off the next with some non-patriotic stuff, say, The Sims?


 * The Sims 4&#58; Spa Day Game Pack announced!

If Outdoor Retreat was a disappointment for you, no worries, for EA has come up with another so-called "game pack": "Spa Day"!

...ehehe. Yeah, I think they need to work on the names a little.

Spa Day will be coming out later this month and will allow Sims to relax and use (*cough*) spas! If you liked spas from The Sims: Superstar, saunas from The Sims 2: Bon Voyage, or general spas in The Sims 3, well glory be, it's finally coming back! And speaking of Spa Day... the box art will always leave a disturbing image in my mind.

Speaking of reintroducing stuff from previous games...

A new patch is scheduled for July 9th, and with it brings lockable doors and half-walls, something that has existed since The Sims 2, carried forward into The Sims 3, and was apparently left out of The Sims 4 for some reason. Oh well... at least they're coming back, right?
 * Locked doors and half-walls coming July 9th!


 * It's Time to Celebrate #SimSummer!

If you like summer, chances are, you'll like this offer! The Sims team is offering special The Sims 4 goodies to equip you for this summer, including a beach towel, sunglasses, a lanyard, and a reusable water bottle. All with The Sims 4 logo on it! Ready to make your friends jealous?

To get your hands on the loot, monitor The Sims Instagram and Twitter pages and get ready to take some screenshots in your game! Each week, there will be a new theme, and your job is to get a picture of your Sims that match the theme! For example, if the theme was "hot tub", send your pictures of your Sims chilling in a hot tub with the hastag #SimSummer and hope you win! Doesn't matter what game you get your picture from, whether it's from The Sims 3 or The Sims 2... heck, The Sims 1 will work too! You can also submit selfies, drawings, fan-art... let your creativity go wild! (More info)
