The Sims 4 is still going strong even years after its initial release. Maxis just released another free update adding tons of new features to the game.

Welcome back Firefighters!

The Sims 4 latest and free update adds long requested content such as the old but now new Firefighters NPC. If you accidentally set your kitchen on fire, you don’t need to rush and find a fire extinguisher but instead give your friendly neighborhood firestation a call and they will ( hopefully ) fix your problem within minutes!

Free window placement!

Finally! To give your creativity even more freedom a new build mode feature has been added to the game. You can now place windows anywhere you like on a wall. Prior to this update windows would snap onto a grid not allowing you to freely place the window on any height you like! With the latest update there are almost no limitations anymore!

Ladders are here!

There have always been stairs in The Sims and even elevators to create beautiful designs and make your design ideas come to live. But some areas such as tree houses may call for a ladder or other designs call for something that doesn’t take as much space as stairs or elevators. Ladders are the solution and can be placed and used anywhere to climb up to a second or even third floor!

More, more and so much more!

The latest patch for the game has brought tons of more features including a breakdown of your household bill, new NPCs, M-A-C Cosmetics, changes to the inventory and more! You can read the full patch notes right here!

The update is now available for free to anyone who owns The Sim4 Base game.
