The Sims 4 update throws a pool party

If the main focus of The Sims 4 is socialization, it only makes sense that they'd move towards pool parties, right?

The Sims know how to party, so it would only make sense that they'd look to one of the ultimate ways to get down for the next Sims 4 update. Nothing says 'party' quite like a pool. Yesterday, EA and Maxis deployed the latest update for their social simulation, adding some bug fixes, while also tossing in pools to help get those all-night pool parties started.

Pools can be built either in yards or on rooftops, if your Sim is particularly affluent. Of course, that also means that there are new ways for Sims to die. Make sure they don't go overboard and wind up drowning. Pool accidents are now on the table and Sims that suffer mishaps around bodies of water will approach them with extra caution in the future, whether they're alive or dead.

Those looking to update their game are instructed to jump on Origin or enable auto-updates. Check out the full patch notes here.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
