The Moroccan-inspired add-on brings plenty of new furniture to the game, allowing players to add tiled fountains and other courtyard-focused additions to their homes. The kit will be followed by a cryptic game pack, which will allegedly contain anewSims 4career pathfor players to experience.
The roadmap also teases two new events. The first will be an evolution of its Pride event last year, with the team teasing a virtual block party to celebrate its LGBTQ+ audience. There will also be a mysterious Summer event, although there’s less detail regarding what it will entail. The game merely teases that players will be able to “rock out at theSimseventof the Summer.”
The final two entries in the Summer of Sims allude to some base game updates and a fresh expansion. With regards to the updates, the roadmap claims there will be three waves of fixes, with Maxis likely patching out some of the main issues players have been struggling with. Meanwhile, the focus of the expansion is left cryptic, with the roadmap teasing thatSims 4players should expect to “bond with nature.” Some have speculated it could center on the player building and cultivating a farm, which would be very different for the franchise.

Hopefully, the broadcast will hold some new announcements about the future lineup, including fresh details on its mysterious game pack and nature-based expansion. In the meantime, players can look forward to getting their hands on the Courtyard Oasis Kit when it launches tomorrow.
