Batuu will be a destination world, meaning sims can’t live there full-time since it’s meant for visits. But players can find a type of home base in Batuu that fulfills a sims’ basic needs.
Pearson compared the story-driven nature to Strangerville, the only other ‘story’ game pack for The Sims 4. ..."You’re deciding how to navigate this world and fit into it."
Similar to “The Sims 4” “Get Famous” DLC, other sims will treat you differently depending on your status. In “Journey to Batuu,” this pertains specifically to which faction you’ve aligned with.
“If you spend a lot of time with the rebels and you’re working on missions for them and socializing with them, then if you try and go hang out with the First Order, they’re not going to respond to you,” Pearson said. “They’re going to lock you out of certain things and certain interactions because you’re not their friend. You’re the enemy.”
Kyber crystals, which are key components in lightsaber crafting, can also be brought back home.
