The Sims 4 Gives Players A Blank Slate With Free Newcrest Update
EA has announced that it is bringing some new content to The Sims 4 next week. Starting on June 11, players will be able to download Newcrest, a free update that gives players a bit more space to work with.
With Newcrest, EA is adding three new neighborhoods, each with five vacant lots to build on. The lots range in size from a massive 50x40 to a more modest 20x15.
Newcrest will be available to all Sims 4 players who have access to an internet connection. If you'd like to check out more of the free Newcrest update, you can check out the very brief look below.
Our Take
While it's good to see the team supporting this game through free expansions and updates, this is all stuff that should have been in at launch. Despite this free content, The Sims 4 still lags behind The Sims 3 in terms of what the overall package offers.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
