Spring4Sims – The Best Finds, Downloads & Hints for Your Sims

Oh yes, here it comes! I’m getting so excited about the new EP and I do believe you’re feeling about it the same way as I am. There are some previews taken from the fan event in Redwood City, California, the headquarters of EA Games. I wish I could be there, too. The add-on looks far more interesting that the name does, and there is even more to see than it might seem.

I’d like to point out a few highlights that seemed the most interesting to me:

• Belladonna Cove – the name of the new neighborhood, also some new ‘hood decorations
• new community lots: coffee shops, library, groceries
• new gestures (interactions with Sims): High Five, Earthy Hug, Fake Out, Kiss Kiss Darling and Tough Handshake
• new interactions between kids and toddlers (Huddle) and some new objects for them
• 4 families can live on one lot, only one can be controlled; plus you can make space for NPCs
• families can be visited (yay! that’s what I wanted all the time!)
• paying for apartment is like paying for hotels in Bon Voyage, the landlord will also take care of broken items
• you can find new roommates online or in the newspaper
• you can buy dogs but Pets EP is not required
• Sims can build a reputation on how they interact with others and there will be social groups, too
• new building tools: spiral stairs (3 styles, each has 3 recolors), 2×1 built-in wardrobes, new roofs and cornices, windows (in renaissance style), ceilings (they will probably be editable in HomeCrafter Plus), industrial stuff – vents, ducts, heating/cooling (provide benefits if you have Seasons EP)

The very special highlight – Magic comes to Sims!

• witches (both males or females) are divided in 4 categories: good, neutral, evil or even atrociously evil
• for each group, different type of apells and clothing is set (atrociously evil witches have a green skintone, too)
• depending on skills you can make spells, potions or craft different items (throne, floor light, wall light and ceiling light)
