The Sims 4 Growing Together Expansion Pack: Is it Worth it?

My simmers, we’ve all wanted a family expansion pack for the longest time, and now with the free infant update, everything about this screams perfect! The Sims 4: Growing Together expansion pack is finally released and is now available for PC and console! Continue reading for some actually interesting details and secrets about the new EP!

Before we dive into 3 main features we love about the new EP, if you have seen the trailer already, or have not seen it, go ahead and watch it now! It’ll give you just the perfect dose of adrenaline rush😉

Realistic Gameplay & Milestones? YES PLEASE!

Say hello to a whole new set of family dynamics, social compatibility, and milestones that will transform how our simmies grow up together. It is actually no surprise that the developers have been working tirelessly to improve the game’s realism and make it as immersive and entertaining as possible for us – we just needed that one very important bit to feel all at home in the Sims 4. And now with Growing Together and the infant update, we have ourselves more intricate details than ever before (I’m actually SCREAMING INSIDE… excuse my excitement).

With family dynamics, your Sim might naturally click with a random Sim they just encountered or literally bust heads with them, you never know the odds of either happening. Your Sim will also have preferences in the sense that they will actually choose who they would be friends or enemies with.

There’s so much to love about this new EP but the milestones feature is worth cherishing on its own. Every age group in the Sims 4 will have several milestones for important events, like a “First Promotion”, and a “First WooHoo”. It’s just lovely to look back on all those milestones when your Sims age and grow up, just like a memory book.

There are even milestones for infants and toddlers and they’re honestly a game changer when it comes to realistic gameplay. Instead of simply having babies as objects, which felt like a forever struggle, we can now witness them gradually reach new abilities and skills.
