Developer Maxis and publisher Electronic Arts have announced the newest expansion pack for The Sims 4: Businesses & Hobbies! The new pack invites players to discover what artistic passions add a spring to your step. Start a small business to show off your crafty creations and rake in the Simoleons as you master two new skills that will shape your future and add color to your life every day.
Your artistic path will take you to Nordhaven, a town brimming with history and opportunity for crafty business owners and hobbyists alike, letting your Sims perfect body art with the new Tattooing skill and craft functional or decorative pieces with the new Pottery skill. Take part in Hobby Meetups and share your knowledge by teaching others in Classes and Lectures.
Additionally, for Sims who are just starting up their business or feel most inspired at home, you can build a Small Business on a Residential Lot and designate a dedicated space in their home to set up shop. You can also run their business on the new Small Business Venue Lot. As you grow your Sim’s business, you’ll earn the ability to choose Business Perks, which include new interactions, effects, and more.
