The Sims 4: Chores and Errands

Discover the excitement of adulting with the newest expansion pack! Pay each bill separately, sit in traffic for hours, and sign up for health insurance with The Sims 4 Chores and Errands!

KEY FEATURES
Bill Paying
Have you always wanted to pay each bill separately? Now you can! Create logins for every bill, each with a different set of password requirements that you'll immediately forget and have to reset. Remember to pay each one on time, and watch out - they all have different due dates!

New Health Insurance Feature
Now your Sim will need health insurance and it's up to you to sort through the many different types of insurance offered, all with different premiums, co-pays, and deductibles. For even more fun, visit an out of network provider and experience the excitement of surprise billing! Did your visit cost you $40 or $40,000? Who knows! Select the "Argue With Insurance Company" action to spend hours on the phone pleading with them to cover your treatment.

Cars -- and Traffic!
By popular demand, this expansion pack will feature cars at last! Every time your Sim uses their car, they'll get to sit for hours in traffic. Use the "Honk" or "Yell At Driver" actions for a realistic experience! Make sure you take care of your bladder needs before getting in the car!

The Sims 5 will just be a base game with no content. So the people asking for the next iteration will then complain about all the things that are missing compared to now. On the upside, there would be less bugs with less gameplay. And the vicious cycle continues...

Yeah with Sims 5 they will again remove what little features Sims 4 have and you are right the same ole cycle. I learned my lesson with Sims 4 do not purchase and just wait and see how it rolls first.

This is exactly what I did. I bought The Sims 4 the day it came out, checked it out for about a day, viciously missed Sims 3, and then deliberately set it aside for about 18 months. When I came back to 4, it had a lot more content. So less painful that way.

Ohh, can't wait. I hope it's a generations ep, but I doubt it.

A lot of you who are complaining about EVERYTHING here were complaining about the last expansion. So they are probably trying to appease you by coming out with another one that will bring less of a nasty response and your complaining again. Not to sound like your respective mothers, but go outside and play and be back before the street lights come on. I don't want to see you in the house before then!

They not trying to appease anyone, as people look at EA/Maxis track record which speaks volumes. Majority of the packs are gimped as not to hinder performance and I say gee whiz I own four I7s and 3 AMD FX and X systems how can Sims 4 affect my performance?

It is still painful for me as I want the editing tools that allow me make my own neighborhoods and lots but it will never show up in Sims 4. I want better features not just the content as I may not want to move Sims to an another neighborhood forcing me to play EA/Maxis way and not my own as you now must pay for another neighborhood. However it comes down to what floats one's boat and my boat has sunk an long time ago.

I'd rather see ALL the bugs fixed first.

Me too. That won’t make them money though so instead they will just release another bug ridden pack and add to issues. :/

It could be Sims 4 My first bug stuff. ;) Kidding of course. My desired themes for an expansion pack would either be an active school system or a superhero pack or a zoo/aquarium pack. Farm animals well might do well in a GP since that is more focused on one theme and gameplay it seems like more than expansion packs are.

Anyone notices how they're announcing expansions packs too close to release date so people dont have enough information on the pack and buy it anyway, very smart move EA..

We used to get a month gap between announcements and release when expansions were good and 3 months before release in Sims 3 when expansions were TOO GOOD

I expect this EP to be horrible that's why EA announcing it so late and close to release which I'm expecting mid November..

I don't know if it's just me and my horrible sense of time but it doesn't seem like two minutes since the Star Wars pack released and now they're announcing another new pack already. I love getting new packs but it really feels like they're coming so fast now. I think I preferred it in the Sims 2 days when we got a new pack about every six months and the packs were much better quality.

I prefer it like that too. I never understood the need to push DLC after DLC with the Sims 3 and the Sims 4.

With all the packs I am feeling a bit like Old Mother Hubbard with too much to do. I'm going to have to stop buying sometime as I haven't got time to do everything.

I just hope it'll be an expansion that I can use the contents of in all the worlds. I'm using all the StrangerVille stuff in Oasis Springs and Sulani for example as I don't like the StrangerVille world much and the Get Famous stuff too as I'm not fond of that actual world either but love the objects and building stuff.

I'm working on a new template save; I used the cheat to complete the Strangerville scenario, then I moved the Eclectic Arts household (my favorite from that pack) to an apartment in the San Myshuno Arts Quarter and deleted the rest of the premades in that world. I'm going to use it as a retirement town for elders when I no longer actively play them but I don't want them consigned to Not In World. I've also got a cool museum I found on the Gallery all about the Strangerville story, plus my Latin-themed restaurant. I'm going to replace most of the houses with smaller 1-story places, probably midcentury themed. Might play one family there, a teen taking care of his elderly grandparents, then when he ages to YA send him off to University.
