The People of Batuu

When your Sim first arrives on Batuu, it seems like the perfect place for an adventure. Good atmosphere, incomparable artifacts, interesting Sims, and delicious local specialties abound.

But before long, they’ll be caught up in the conflict between opposing factions. Learn what you can about them by talking with the locals before you decide who to support, or just dive right in! A simple drink at Oga’s Cantina or a conversation on the street could guide your Sim onto their path.

There’s no guarantee they’ll stay on that path, though. You decide if your Sim dedicates themself to the cause or defects for another faction entirely. Whatever your Sim aspires to be—a Paragon of Hope, an Enforcer of Order, or a Galactic Privateer—they have every opportunity to live out their dreams on Batuu.


The Scoundrels

You’ll find more than amazing drinks, delicious food, and great music at Oga’s Cantina. In the heart of Black Spire Outpost, the notorious smugglers of the planet still thrive. Keep an eye out for Hondo Ohnaka if you’re looking for some slightly-less-than-legitimate work on Batuu. The charming and beguiling Weequay pirate-turned-businessman usually has a few missions for Sims who ask nicely.

Be careful about the missions you select! As a scoundrel, it’s important to ensure the Resistance and the First Order are more focused on each other than on your Sim’s activities. As you build up your reputation for one faction, it may drop with another, and scoundrels walk a tight line between the two.

The more Sims do for Hondo, the more their reputation as a scoundrel grows. Sure, maybe it starts with sneaking into a building at first, but before you know it, your Sim is stealing files, skimming credits, and setting up traps. Get in on a big heist, gain access to the Millennium Falcon™ for missions, and live it up as one of the most infamous scoundrels on Batuu.

Did we mention the galactic credits? Sorry, we should have led with this: get rich as a scoundrel!



The Resistance

While enjoying a drink at Oga’s Cantina, make sure your Sim takes a moment to chat with DJ R-3X, the reprogrammed pilot droid spinning space jams. While he never leaves his post, DJ R-3X hears plenty of gossip… and he shares. A lot. He might even tell you the rumor he heard about the Resistance hiding in the forest outside of town.

To join the Resistance, your Sim will have to prove they’ll do what it takes to stop the First Order. It might mean doing a little reconnaissance to build up enough reputation for higher-level missions. Gotta start somewhere, and it might as well be looting supply crates and spying on the First Order, right? Build up enough reputation, and perhaps your Sim will gain Vi Moradi’s trust and the ability to fly the X-wing on daring missions. Maybe they’ll earn Rey’s respect if they climb high enough up the ranks!

But as the missions get harder, a First Order plot that could spell the end for the Resistance emerges. Can your Sim help the Resistance foil the First Order’s plans? Succeed, and your Sim will be a hero. Fail, and the First Order will be that much closer to stopping the Resistance.


The First Order

While the Resistance makes every effort to hide their presence on Batuu, the First Order proudly lays claim to the outpost. Commanded by Supreme Leader Kylo Ren, they aim to bring order to the galaxy—starting with Black Spire Outpost. After all, it’s overrun by smugglers and Resistance spies. Join their ranks to help them root out the Resistance.

As a trooper on Batuu, it’s your Sim’s duty to suppress any Resistance plots aiming to undermine the First Order. Complete missions to protect the First Order’s interests—fortify the communications array, check IDs on the street, and patrol Black Spire Outpost. Lt. Agnon and Kylo Ren are depending on your Sim.

Do not disappoint them. (Especially Kylo Ren—he has… some anger issues.) If your Sim succeeds in their attempts to aid the First Order, they’ll be rewarded with great power. Earn both the fear and respect of the locals, and people will have no choice but to fall in line with your Sim’s orders. The Resistance better watch out.

  • First mission done! onto the next :smiley: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE5DMP7NHEk&t=99s
  • I found a free robot in the Sims now "not in game" and sent her to Batuu. She couldn't complete the first mission as she couldn't change her outfit. On the second visit she broke down and had to call for repair and an alien tech came along to mend her! Still trying though! I think next time she will be the companion of one of my other Sims in game. I'm just experimenting at the moment.

  • Hi I am mostly a builder but as I love the Star Wars movies I have been playing 2 sims in different factions. I have been enjoying it but for a few glitches that are annoying, my female sim had a Fortune cube appear in her inventory and keeps playing with it then more of them keep appearing in the inventory even if I delete them, once she had 37 of them! She has a Droid and he keeps stopping following her so I have to keep going to get him. When she buys a meal she stands even when there are stools/chairs and in the Cantina she tends to walk then stand behind the bar and the droid if following gets stuck in the way.
    I was hoping to get sims to use a camera for holiday photographs but they cant carry anything with them only what they get in Batuu. Oh and if you find your sim does not use the Tents etc in the Resistance base, I found clicking Droid off Follow they use the objects there! this took a while to work out Lol. Oh and for fun as there is so little for sims there, you can click to play with the Droid and they use it like a remote controlled toy...its amusing!
  • I am doing this same one, and each time i go to the first order area it the first order ID vanishes. on top of that i went back home and i have 10 of them in my inventory at home. i go back and i have none.
  • Sounds pretty cool not really a Star Wars, I would have loved like a total geek pack star wars, harry potter, etc I know that wouldnt happen though but I am glad some fans are getting their fandom on lol.
  • I love Star Wars and I love Sims 4 the only thing I don't like is lag which happens every few seconds no matter what I do.
  • I've been playing Journey to Batuu for a while and my Sim is now a sergeant for the First Order. BUT, not one of the First Order uniforms has been unlocked for her. I have access to all the things to buy at the holotable but when I go to plan an outfit, all the uniforms are still locked.
    I was playing with a mod but I"ve removed that, cleared my cache, repaired the game, reinstalled Origin and still not able to dress to look the part!
    Am I missing something? Is there some other way I"m supposed to get a uniform?

    Have you tried playing in laptop mode? That could help with lag.
  • I think my boyfriend would like this one! I don't know if he plays the Sims, but I do know that he is a HUGE Star Wars fan! If he finds out about this pack, then I know he will be totally enamored by it!
