User blog:K6ka/The Sims Wiki News - 27th September 2015

You know, I've always wondered why people started celebrating holidays months before the actual date, and the day after the holiday everyone seems to forget about it.

Take, for instance, All Hallows' Eve. Already, I'm seeing (fake) Halloween pumpkins and (fake) specter, Grim Reaper, and vampire costumes on sale. I'm almost certain that, after I've given out enough candy to make a dentist rich, everyone's just gonna forget that Halloween even existed, aside from the bellyaches from eating too many sugary treats.

Well, it seems EA is following that tradition, what with the announcement of The Sims 4: Spooky Stuff and all. Christ, that's a lot of stuff packs for The Sims 4 already! I think we have too many, to be honest...

Avast, young matey! Show a leg or I'll send yer down to Davy Jones' locker! Time to put on those patches, filthy landlubber! ...okay, so I'm not a pirate, but even if I wasn't, I'm still telling you to get your game patches installed. Patch 25 came out on September 24, 2015, and includes a number of bug fixes. It also introduces the "Jealous" trait.
 * Let us wear our arrr-patches, er, "eye" patches, yar!

Always remember to uninstall all mods and custom content before installing the patch, and to run the game at least once without your mods and custom content after installing the patch.

Lucy Bradshaw, an employee of Electronic Arts for the past 23 years, has announced that she will be leaving the company. She will be replaced by Rachel Franklin as Senior VP of Maxis. Lucy Bradshaw had this to say about her departure: "I've had a wonderful journey at EA and Maxis, filled with amazingly creative people, unforgettable experiences and an inspiring community of players and creators," said Bradshaw. "I have the highest regard for EA's leadership today, their vision and their focus on putting players first. I leave knowing that Maxis is in great hands with a leader and teams who are full of respect for our players, passion for our games, and new ideas to bring to the world of Maxis gamers. I look forward to seeing what's next from these incredible teams, I'll certainly be playing."

In addition, Maxis will now fall under the EA Mobile division of its parent company.

The Sims Wiki wishes Lucy Bradshaw the best of luck on her post-EA career!

Yeah, as I kinda mentioned in the intro, The Sims 4: Spooky Stuff will be coming out September 29, 2015! Happy early Halloween!
