Project Rene has no microtransactions, is “a new way to play The Sims”

That’s proper, we’re getting a brand new stuff pack for The Sims 4, dubbed ‘House Chef Hustle.’ Whereas discussing its options, builders element how the staff’s artists “have been impressed by the attractive kitchens of varied areas of Europe.” Within the quick clip proven by EA, you’ll be able to see new Construct and Purchase Mode objects like a dish drain over a sink and varied kitchen home equipment in addition to furnishings.

“There’s a complete lot of stuff on this stuff pack,” says producer Lauren, “new small home equipment, new methods to earn money, new methods of cooking, new BB, new CAS, and a lot extra.” Whereas House Chef Hustle seems prefer it’s stuffed to the brim with new content material, it doesn’t finish there. The brand new ‘hustle and bustle’ roadmap particulars much more upcoming DLC, together with a ‘neighborly enlargement pack.’

Personally, I’m most excited in regards to the new Mission Rene information proven. With The Sims 5, the studio needs to do issues “The Sims hasn’t ever executed” but in addition “attempt to do acquainted issues in a brand new manner.” Mission Rene “will probably be a brand new method to play The Sims,” together with “the power to play with associates and throughout gadgets.”

What has me shook about Mission Rene is the truth that it might not even really be The Sims 5, per se. Apparently, “Mission Rene and The Sims 4 are going to live on aspect by aspect.” It looks as if Mission Rene is a separate multiplayer expertise of types whereas The Sims 4 is the collection’ major entry. Bear in mind Castaway, Medieval, or Urbz? I believe it might be one thing like a type of ‘aspect’ video games.

Within the showcase, we hear how devs “plan to assist each on the similar time, and we’re going to proceed to carry much more thrilling content material to The Sims 4 for the foreseeable future.” EA additionally makes clear how accessible Mission Rene is, sharing how the devs “wish to make it tremendous straightforward to your associates to come back and be part of you.” Gamers can hop into the sport at no cost, with no subscription price concerned and “with out core recreation buy or power mechanics.”

Mission Rene could have non-obligatory purchasable content material, although, as EA clarifies, “we are going to promote content material and packs.” Such content material received’t embody something too essential, although, in order to “decrease these obstacles to play and provides everybody the broadest shared programs as a result of that looks like the perfect basis to develop from.” Whereas I’m joyful to listen to this, I can’t assist however be a bit fearful about how the upcoming on-line Sims recreation will work.
