EA has revealed more details about Neighbourhood Stories, a new update to The Sims 4.
Neighbourhood Stories is being described as “a set of gameplay moments that all revolve around a single purpose: bring more life to Neighbor Sims that live outside the active household.”
This aims to add realism and dynamic elements to the NPCs that the player character is not directly in control of. A post on the Sims 4 website goes to say that: “In the same way that your Sims change as they move through life, these Neighbor Sims are getting some new life changes of their own such as choosing a new career or having a baby.”
Along with this update, EA has published a list of the choices that Neighbour Sims will be able to make independently, or player-controller Sims can try to convince them to do these things:
- Change their current Career to a different one.
- Have a baby with their partner, if they are in a relationship where either Sim can become pregnant.
- Hang out with other Sims to form or deepen Friendly relationships
The following changes can only be undergone by Neighbour Sims independently, but they’ll still need confirmation from the player beforehand.
- Try to get promoted in their current Career.
- Accept a marriage proposal, if they are already Engaged to another Sim. Neighbor Sims will not autonomously get married for now.
