The Sims 4 Careers Update

In this free game update, players will experience entirely new career-related content with the addition of Business and Athletic careers. Each career branches into two new paths. Sims who dream of a life filled with power and wealth have the option to become an Angel Investor or Business Tycoon, or Sims aspiring to live a life of health and fitness can strive to become a Hall of Famer or Mr. or Ms. Solar System.

With each career, Sims will be given specific outfits that change throughout their careers and will unlock unique objects and interaction rewards. Sims looking to fast track their careers can also take advantage of new chance cards. In addition, by playing through these careers, players will unlock four career reward rooms that can be found in Build Mode.

The Sims 4 Pools Update

Players can now create diagonal pools, exotic infinity-pools, aquarium-style pools, and much more with the free Pools update. And it’s even easier in The Sims 4 – just adjust the depth of your pools by adjusting wall heights. In The Sims 4 you can now build pools on the ground level, on the second floor and even on the roof!

Also, check out the new line of swimwear in Create a Sim! You can mix and match swimwear pieces or try out the "Swimwear" styled looks for today's hottest trends. Your Sims don't have to swim, they can sit along the pool ledge and chat with other Sims who are in the pool or snuggle close to a loved one. Of course, pools would not be pools without a new death type. Death by drowning is back!

The Sims 4 Ghosts Update

The spooky addition of ghosts is now in The Sims 4. Your dead Sims can now rejoin the world of the living, where they maintain all the attributes they had as a Sim, but with special new behaviours based on how they died. Invite them to join your Sims' household and they can be playable characters; if you dare, you might even find a way to bring your ghosts back to life.

And now players can dress up in The Sims 4 like iconic Star Wars characters. Available for free are costumes for Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Leia, and Yoda. You can even put these costumes on your ghost Sims for added fright power!
