Just in time for Halloween, EA has released the brand-new, long-awaited base game update forThe Sims 4, whichfeaturesquite a decent variety of new gameplay features, including a selection of seasonally spooky ones. The brand-new update was launched on October 22 and features a variety of new gameplay improvements as well as a number of enhanced Live Mode elements. The update has arrived just before the next week’s release of the highly anticipated and eagerly awaitednew expansion packLife & Death, which will be released on October 31.
There are many features available within the newThe Sims 4base game update that are genuine gameplay improvements. For example, Sims will no longer be able to just eat rotten food automatically. However, there are many new improvements with the update that actually highlight the game’s core theme as a life simulator: life and death. Because of this, there are somebrand-new features inThe Sims 4that will be of particular appeal to players who possess a keen interest in occult Sims, which makes the update (viaEA) a very welcome addition to the base game this Halloween.
Occult Sims Players Can Now Choose A Gravestone Or Urn
A Specific Theme For Sims Who Love The Occult
Players ofThe Sims 4who have a particular, special interest in the occult Sims that are available in the game will now be able to select a specific gravestone or urn for their occult Sims. This feature is available for players who like to play as occult Sims across the game’s various supernatural content packs.
The occult Sims that are included in this new feature include aliens (Get To Work), merpeople (Island Living),Vampires,Werewolves, and Spellcasters (Realm of Magic). The new customizable feature allows a player to get creative with the final resting places for a beloved occult sim.
Everything That Can Happen At A Funeral In The Sims 4 Life & Death
The Sims 4’s upcoming Life & Death expansion pack is bringing a brand-new set of activities revolving around Sims’ funerals to the game.
Selecting an occult-themed gravestone is even an option that is available to any mortal Sims in the game who simply have had a die-hard interest in one of the occult communities inThe Sims 4. For example, a Sim who developed an interest in Vampire Lore is able to receive a bat-themed gravestone to lengthen their legacy. Each of the gravestones and urns that are available with the new update inThe Sims 4have their own specific theme and design that matches each of the different occult communities in the game.

Spooky Updates With Plenty of Occult-Themed Content

Between the brand-new base game update as well as the new features available inLife & Death, it seems clear that EA is listening to players.
The update also serves as a pre-event for theLife & Deathexpansion pack ahead of itsrelease on Halloween, giving players a taste of what is to come. The update also comes with even more frightful new features, including new ghost interactions, the ability for Sims to now react differently to death depending on their traits, and a new feature in Create-A-Sim where players can create child-to-elder ghosts.
After a shock update from EA thatThe Sims 4will continue to be the core video game forThe Simsfranchise, it was easy to speculate that the game would fall to lackluster gameplay. However, between the brand-new base game update as well as thenew features available inLife & Death, it seems clear that EA is listening to players ofThe Simsto deliver a better gaming experience. With the new content and its spooky themes releasing around Halloween, here’s hoping the update, as well asLife & Death, live up to the hype.
