User blog:LostInRiverview/The Sims Wiki News - 10th August 2014

The Sims news
The Sims 4 will once again be featured at Gamescom in Germany. TS4 made an appearance at last year's Gamescom as well. Some members of the fan community at this year's Gamescom will be able to have some play time in The Sims 4 as well, so we may get more information from those players in the coming week. Gamescom runs from August 11 through 17. EA will be holding a press conference at Gamescom on August 13, starting at 10:00 CEST/9:00 BST/4:00am EDT/1:00am PDT/8:00 UTC

The folks at SimsVIP have put together a mini-tour of a neighborhood in The Sims 4. Be sure to check it out if you're still wondering how worlds and neighborhoods work in the game!

It's August, so that means we have a new Monthly Question ready for discussion. This month's question: Is there any past expansion pack theme or idea that should not be re-introduced in The Sims 4? Be sure to visit this month's MQ blog and weigh in!
