TheSims 4's GrowingTogether brings players a brand new world, family-focused game play, and deeper social connections between Sims.

The Sims 4’s newest expansion pack, Growing Together, is all about family. Initially announced in February, the DLC offers more storytelling options for Sims families — from familial activities like building a tree house together to new social features that will help create stronger bonds between your Sims.

New family dynamics and interactions The expansion pack’s big focus is on multigenerational gameplay through new social elements and interactions. And while family gameplay is already a core feature of the Sims 4, Growing Together seems like it will be taking familial relationships even deeper. A new drop-down menu will be available in Create-A-Sim under household relationships where players will be able to set specific family dynamics between individual family members.

And while there are too many new likes and dislikes to include a full list here, some of the ones I spotted during the press preview include affection, arguments, complaints, funny Sims, high-energy Sims, and nature enthusiasts. These, along with the new dynamics, seem like they’re going to be a lot of fun during active play and in allowing Sims to explore their relationships on their own.

A new world Alongside the new gameplay additions, Growing Together adds a new world to the life sim. From what I did get to see of the bayside town of San Sequoia, there seems to be quite a bit to look forward to — especially in terms of outdoor things to do. Giving big California vibes, San Sequoia features three neighborhoods: Gilbert Gardens, Anchorpoint Wharf, and Hopewell Hills. There’s an urban park with nature paths and a lake with spots for fishing.

This new base game update introduces an all-new playable life stage: infants. Before, babies were largely inanimate and were confined to a bassinet. Now they’ll be able to interact with other Sims, crawl around, eat, and work on their own motor skills. This life stage brings players more freedom in how they play with their families.
