Do you expect something for the 20th anniversary?

I hope its something more than just a bed...
when is the actual 20th anniversary?

Sims 1 complete collection on origin please EA/Maxis :D

@FurSimsOfficial Me too! I’m starting to get the impression that the “water” we see in earlier neighborhoods wasn’t really programmed as “water.” Meaning, we see something that looks like blue water but the game does not. The game thinks it’s just regular land that they programmed to block off Sims from walking around on it. It’s just reskinned land. There’s probably not a “oh, that’s water!” tag on it so it’s hard to suddenly program the game to make it swimmable.

So I can see why it would be hard for them to unlock swimming in earlier neighborhoods. They’d probably have to rewrite the code for the whole ‘hood which might affect your current saves in adverse ways.

hi I have returned to the sims after a long time away, So....I am out of the loop. I Started playing the sims 4..first time in November 2019..see? I said I was very late for the party! If we get anything for the anniversary then I would enjoy having my shower/tub combos work again but if that cannot happen then perhaps just tell me what broke them?

I don’t expect anything but it would be nice to get some great “thank you for sticking with us” gifts in addition to a billion bug fixes. I’d like clothes for all, more toddler hair and shoes, some decent toddler jeans. What I don’t want is more items we’ve paid for in packs being patched into base game as a gift.

A huge discount/free download of everything sims 3 since its been 19.99 in store since 2009....but otherwise nothing..

Uh, yes. It's the 20th Anniversary of the Sims. That is a HUGE achievement. They can't not celebrate it- that would be a disgrace to Will Wright.

They already disgraced all his work with TS4 tho. ?

Will Wright didn't even want to make a sims 2 he wanted to stop at sims 1 so I'm fine with them not doing what he would have done
also he got the idea for the sims from another guys work so it wasn't all his idea a lot of people worked on the game and helped make the sims what it is here's a video of the game that gave will the idea for the sims

Well, if you keep going, that guy got the idea from pet rocks apparently. :)

Some new aspirations for kids with new interactions and new items.
Little chef- kids get an easy bake oven, can ask for help/to help in kitchen and can watch adult/teen cook to gain skill. Raises responsibility and friendship.

Playing Doctor/Vet- kid will take sims' or pets' temperature and wrap bandages around them. Raises empathy and friendship.

Seedling-kids can garden with their own little seed packets and pots. Raise Responsibility.

Scribbles- kids will ask sims to pose so the can draw them and the pictures can go on the fridge. These won't be master works but as the name implies scribbles. Raises Emotional Control and friendship.

Little genius- If kids have a high enough grade they can tutor their friends. Raises empathy and friendship.

Tiny terror- Not every kid is an angel. Pull pranks, skip school and don't do homework. Decreases empathy, responsibility and emotional control.
