The Sims 4 Gets See-Through Walls: Prepare for Peak Sim Sadism, Mates!
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
EA dropped a new Sims 4 update with glass walls, paving the way for innovative (and potentially cruel) new build designs. Get ready to build your Sims their very own crystal prisons!
Right then, listen up, Simmers! Rock Paper Shotgun's Mark Warren (bless his cotton socks) brought to our attention that EA and Maxis have just unleashed a new update for *The Sims 4*, and it's a doozy. Forget build mode; this is 'build a better prison' mode! Glass walls are now a thing, and I reckon your virtual little people are about to suffer more than ever.
Seriously, did we *need* this? I mean, the poor Sims already put up with our questionable architectural choices and bizarre life experiments. Now their neighbours can see *everything*. Every questionable meal choice, every ill-advised romance, every time you trap them in a room with a hundred toddlers. The horror!
Warren, over at Rock Paper Shotgun, rightly points out the potential for, shall we say, 'creative' uses of these glass walls. Think *You* on Netflix, but with slightly blockier characters and significantly more existential dread. Someone's already built a glass prison cell on Reddit, because of course they have. You just *know* this is going to end with entire neighbourhoods of Sims living in see-through cages, forced to contemplate the meaninglessness of their digital existence. Cheerful, innit?
But it's not all doom and gloom (well, mostly doom). The update also lets you stick plants on your roofs. Because nothing says 'I care' like forcing your Sims to risk a fall to water their hydrangeas. It's the thought that counts, right? Plus, they’ve tidied up the inventory, so when you *accidentally* feed your Sim rotten food (we've all been there, haven't we?), it's now easier to locate. Handy!
To be fair, Simmers have been getting creative with windows for ages, but EA’s just gone and made it official. What’s next? Public executions? Oh, wait, we already do that with swimming pools and ladders. Never mind. So, go forth, download the update, and unleash your inner architect... or torturer. Just don't say I didn't warn you when your Sims start plotting their digital revenge.
Oh, and apparently this is all groundwork for a new expansion pack featuring fairy sims. So, expect more sparkly suffering soon.
