In the latest episode of EA's Sims livestream series "Behind the Sims," exciting news for Sims 4 fans was announced. After almost three years, the game will receive a new "stuff pack" known as 'Home Chef Hustle DLC.' The significance of this is that many players had assumed the option for these packs was retired due to the rise of the widely debated micro-DLC "kits." The stuff packs, costing approximately $10 each, have in the past appeared superior compared to kits, with more content included. Besides the announcement of 'Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack,' the livestream also revealed some upcoming developments for Sims 4. As we approach the end of 2023, which is called the "Hustle and Bustle" season, players can expect a full expansion pack. While the title and theme are yet to be revealed, it's crucial to note this news comes as a surprise following the game's previous expansions released this year - 'Growing Together' in March and 'Horse Ranch' in July. The game will also experience an overhaul of its cooking systems, intended to bolster the Home Chef Hustle DLC. This update will be part of the regular base game and will be freely accessible to players. There are also plans to release some official Sims merch before Christmas, a move that surprisingly took 23 years to happen! Lastly, there was some enticing news about 'Project Rene,' also known as 'The Sims 5.' Although no new footage was revealed, it was confirmed that the base game will be free-to-play at launch. Moreover, the development of Sims 4 will continue in parallel with Project Rene after its debut. While they remained cryptic on the details, the idea of multiple concurrent Sims titles is certainly intriguing. Updates about the release date for 'The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack' are eagerly awaited. In the meantime, fans can look forward to the gameplay trailer, which is set to premiere on the official The Sims YouTube Channel.
