The Sims 4 Backyard Stuff Is Now Free For All

After My First Pet and Romantic Garden, now The Sims 4 Backyard Stuff is being offered for free. Just like the previous two stuff packs, it is expected that this offer is for a limited time only.

This DLC was first released on July 19, 2016. As its names suggests, it focuses on outdoor Summer activities and brings two lawn slides, a bird feeder, a set of windchimes and a tray and pitcher for cold beverages, amongst other furniture pieces and Create a Sim items.

The Sims 4 Backyard Stuff can be downloaded for free wherever you get your packs, both on PC and console.

Down below is a full list of all the official retail stores providing this offer:

EA App / Origin

Steam

Playstation Store

Microsoft Store

#signal boost!!!! #ive been eyeing this up PURELY for the bird feeders and wind chimes #glad i didn’t buy it in the last sale #reglob #i did buy moschino recently which i feel will be the next free pack lmao #i was craving those windows though

Why is the Sims community boycotting Curseforge?

I've seen a lot of posts going around calling on Simmers to stop using Curseforge, a modding platform that enables creators to monetize their downloads, with plenty of outrage directed toward modders and CC-makers who are still on the platform. But I've also seen a lot of people who are confused about why there are calls for a boycott.

Curseforge is owned by Overwolf, a company that is donating money to the IDF in support of its ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people.

In late October/early November, Overwolf posted a graphic on their social media asking followers to "defend our defenders" by contributing financially to a fundraising drive for the IDF. They were met with backlash and quickly took the graphic down, replacing it with one that used language about raising money for "those affected by the violence in Gaza" (my phrasing may be inexact) but the money is still going to the IDF and not to any agency actually supporting civilians or doing humanitarian work.

You can see the original graphic on this change.org petition, which provides some additional context.

If you are using Curseforge in any way -- by hosting your content there or downloading from it -- you are giving money to a company that is raising funds for an ongoing military campaign against a civilian population.

This is why people are calling for a boycott. If you are a modder or CC maker for the Sims, you should remove all of your content from the website and redirect people to other DL sources. If you are a consumer of mods and CC, you should stop clicking curseforge links and send (polite!) messages to modders and CC makers to urge them to pull their content from the site.

ETA: Here's another link with more images of the original Overwolf Tweet!

Can't launch Sims 4 right now? It's not your mods!!

This morning there is a problem with the EA App that's preventing Sims 4 from launching. You can launch the game following these steps:

Click the bottom left corner X to pause the supposed "update"

 Go to the top left menu (three horizontal lines)

Select "Go Offline"

Several threads are running at https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports-Technical-Issues/bd-p/ea-app-bug-reports-en. At some point, they'll get consolidated, but for now, going to that particular AHQ forum will get you there. UPDATE: This is the thread you want: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports-Technical-Issues/Cannot-download-The-Sims-4/td-p/12866104. EA knows about the problem and is working on a fix. The best thing to do right now is DON'T click update. Just go do something else for a while.

#signal boost #would be cool if the ea app actually worked for once lmaooooo #reglob
