The latest Sims 4 update gets Scenarios and a new indoor plants DLC

Sims 4 Electronic Arts announced via news release Tuesday that Maxis Studios and Maxis Studios will be providing a free update for the base game. The update, which unrolled Tuesday, introduces missions called “Scenarios” that allow fans to play through “goal-based stories,” with their Sims, according to the release. The new paid — and all its lush greenery — will be released Nov. 9.

Scenarios are situations where players “can choose to participate and work toward an outcome for their Sims,” according to the developer. Depending on how you work through a scenario, there will be different outcomes, so it’s up to you to figure out how you want to resolve the story.

Developer We will keep releasing new Scenarios, each with different themes and styles. Tuesday’s update introduced two new scenarios: “Making Money,” which tasks you with making a million Simoleons, and “Finding Love After a Breakup,” which will have you playing matchmaker for your Sims. This story will continue Tuesday through November 6.

In the Blooming Rooms Kit DLC, you won’t need a green thumb to grow, just a home you want to fill with beautiful baby plants. The developers have provided an image showing all kinds of leaves, including spider plants and cascading vines that you can use to frame your windows. It will go on sale Nov. 9 for Mac OS and PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X.
