The Sims 4 Expansion: A World of Entrepreneurial Possibilities

Exciting news for all The Sims 4 fans out there! A new expansion pack is on the horizon, set to launch on March 6th, bringing a whole new dimension to the game. The Businesses & Hobbies expansion is the 18th major addition to the game since its release in 2014, and it promises to open up a plethora of new options for players looking to explore their entrepreneurial side.

With the Businesses & Hobbies Expansion Pack, players will have the opportunity to delve into two key areas: hobbies and business. The expansion introduces Hobby Meet-ups, where Sims can engage with others who share their interests, attend classes and lectures to hone their skills, and even become mentors themselves. On the business side of things, players can establish small businesses to generate income, either by setting up shop on a residential lot or on the new Small Business Venture Lot. A new Ticket Kiosk feature allows players to charge customers for their services, and they can choose to hire staff or run the business as a family unit.

As businesses grow, players will earn Business Perks that unlock new interactions and effects, as well as a Business Renown system that allows them to choose between running a legitimate operation or taking a more underhanded approach. However, players should be aware that their choices in the business world may have consequences that spill over into their Sims’ personal lives.

The type of business players can run will depend on the expansions and game packs they own. For those with just the Businesses & Hobbies expansion, they can choose to build businesses around the new tattoo skill or pottery skill. The tattoo skill introduces a Tattoo Paint Mode where players can create custom designs using stamps and stencils, while the pottery skill adds a pottery wheel and kiln for crafting decorative or functional pieces.

Players who own the Cats and Dogs expansion can open pet cafes, while those with the Get Together expansion can run dance clubs and game arcades. The City Living expansion unlocks karaoke bars, Get Famous offers acting classes, and Laundry Day allows players to operate a laundrette. Bowling Night is perfect for those interested in running their own bowling alley, while Spa Day is ideal for creating a relaxing spa experience for customers.

The Businesses & Hobbies Expansion Pack also introduces a new world called Nordhaven, providing players with a fresh environment to explore and expand their businesses. Those who purchase the expansion before April 18th will receive exclusive in-game items, including the Practice Makes Perfect Priscilla Statue, Sweetest Treat Display Case, and Beautiful Flaws Lamp.

So mark your calendars for March 6th and get ready to dive into a world of entrepreneurial possibilities with The Sims 4 Businesses & Hobbies Expansion Pack. Who knows where your Sims’ ambitions will take them next?
