The Sims 4 Perfect Patio Stuff – Hot Tubs and Furniture Overview

Perfect Patio Render + Title Bar

Perfect your patios with the ensemble of furniture included in The Sims 4 Perfect Patio Stuff!

 

Perfect Patio Grill

The new GrillZone grill (by GrillMania) is excellent for a backyard barbecue. Pair it with the purely decorative rack of tongs and trio of sauces for a touch of added detail. Serve up those tasty dishes grilled to perfection on the new granite topped counters.

 

Perfect Patio Seating Set

Suitable for either indoor or outdoor environments, this set of wicker seating is both stylish and versatile. New lighting objects include a classy o-shaped decoration, lantern, and light up chess pieces.

 

Perfect Patio Fence

Obscure your patio from the eyes of prying neighbors with the new slatted fence and gate, along with privacy hedges. Circular fountain decorations spout a small stream of water from the top that cascades over the sides.

 

Perfect Patio Wood Hot Tub

Choose between a polymer hot tub with a wood cabinet or a tub of stone for your Sims to relax in. Up to eight Sims can fit into the tub at one time, including children. The color and intensity of a tub’s lights can be adjusted for an added level of personalization.

 

Perfect Patio Hot Tub WooHoo

Sims can go skinny dipping, shooing away anyone who isn’t a romantic interest. The hot tub includes a spicy new WooHoo animation that’ll leave any player blushing.

 

Perfect Patio Hot Tub Upgrades

With a high enough handiness skill and the right parts, Sims can enhance their hot tub experience with fancy upgrades. At level 3, an aromatherapy filter can be added. Now your Sims can enjoy the relaxing scents of jasmine, sage, lemon, or peppermint oils, each with different emotion buffs. A stereo can be installed in the tub with a skill level of 5, including all of the available radio stations in the game. Finally, hot tubs can be made unbreakable at level 8.

 

Perfect Patio Catalog

A new wall speaker for venues comes with the pack, playing all the country songs from the brand new Backyard radio station.

  • Like No One’s Watching – Henningsons
  • Longneck Weekend – CJ
  • All Nighter – Lindsay Ell
  • Makes Me Feel Good – Natalile Stovall

Sims 4 Update Adds Door Locking and Half Walls

In preparation for the new Spa Day game pack, The Sims 4 received a free update on July 9th! New gameplay features, clothing, objects, interface updates, and a number of bug fixes were included.

 

Half Walls and Door Locks

Sims 4 Kitchen Half Wall

Half Walls are now available, with five different sizes to choose from. They can be found under the Walls and Empty Rooms category and decorated with trims and wall patterns. Some objects can even be placed on top of them!

 

Sims 4 Lock Door

A highly requested feature has arrived with the addition of door locking. Keep out unwanted Sims by clicking on a door and choosing the Lock Door For… option. You can restrict access so that only household members, employees, or the active Sim can pass through it. Doors can be unlocked at any time.

 

New Clothing and Objects

Sims 4 Bath Towels

If you’ve been following the news on the Spa Day game pack coming next week, you may have spotted these full body bath towels. Well they’re here and can be found in Create A Sim for all ages! Children also got a new pair of matching slippers.

 

Sims 4 July 2015 Update Objects

The update adds eleven new objects to the catalog. Adorn walls with directional arrow and classic male and female sign decals, and illuminate the room with the Subtle Saucer Light. The Smooth Keeper fence won’t do anything for your Sims’ privacy concerns, but adds a touch of flair to any lot.

Sims 4 Gender Bathrooms

New doors are here as well, two of which come with gender restrictions. Placing the King’s or Queen’s Door will allow only men or women to pass through them, perfect for gender-specific bathrooms.

 

Interface Updates

Sims 4 Pre-created Maxis Lots

The My Library tab has been updated with new sorting options, including Size, Price, Lot Type, Room Type, and the number of Sims. On top of that, 28 pre-created lots were added to the library! The size and funds of the current lot in Live Mode are now visible in the sorting options when placing a new lot from the library or Gallery. While in Manage Worlds, you can now place a lot without automatically jumping into Build Mode.

 

Sims 4 Lot Info Panel Revamp

The Lot Info Panel received a new design, making the lot value and dimensions simpler to find. The residential lot bedroom and bathroom fields’ drop downs have been replaced with a text entry field. A new View Venue Type in Gallery button allows you to quickly pull up lots in the My Library tab of the same type as the active lot.

 

Sims 4 World Info

With the View World Info button added to all the game’s World Maps, players can add and edit a description of that world.  The View Lot Types button located within will show you which lot types are present in a world.

 

Introducing The Sims 4 Spa Day Game Pack!

Sims 4 Spa Day Render

The Sims 4 Spa Day has officially been announced and is coming July 14th! This is the second game pack for the game, following Outdoor Retreat.

Spa Day introduces a new venue type, known as the Spa. Here your Sims can relax with a massage from one of the Reflexologists, or sweat it out in the sauna. Your Sims can steam things up even more with a new WooHoo interaction!

The pack comes with three pre-built spas and a gym, which can be found in your library. It will also include some new radio songs with the New Age radio station. New objects include a massage chair and mud bath, but details on those will come at a later date. The Aquarium from past games returns, able to hold up to six of any fish found in the game.

Sims can give massages, do Yoga, and Meditate, all of which contribute to the new Wellness skill. As it levels up, Sims will unlock new yoga poses, give better massages, and experience a “special meditation surprise.”

Massages come in six types, including: Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports, Aromatherapy, Stone, and Fertility. These can have different effects. The fertility massage, for example, increases a pregnant Sim’s chance of having twins or triplets.

Sims 4 Spa Day Sauna

More information to come in the following weeks leading up to launch. Until then!

The Sims 4 Perfect Patio Stuff – Clothing and Hairstyles

Perfect Patio Clothing

The Perfect Patio Stuff pack doesn’t offer much in terms of Create A Sim content, instead focusing on providing more objects for the Build Catalog. There are some quality pieces included, however.

 

Perfect Patio Hairstyles

One hairstyle was added for both males and females, along with a cute hairstyle for boys. It will no doubt be converted for adults by modders in no time. You may have to adjust the height of your male Sims’ face for the adult hair, as the hairline is fairly high.

 

Perfect Patio Tops & Bottoms

Female Sims received one cropped top, with solid color and floral print designs to choose from. Two shirts and a new pair of swim trunks are available for men, perfect for a casual event.

 

Perfect Patio Full Body OutfitsWomen got the bulk of the clothing, with four full body outfits. These include a stylish dress, two one-piece bathing suits, and a cooking apron with two graphic design variants, also available for men.

 

The Sims 4 Perfect Patio Stuff is Now Available!

 The Perfect Patio Stuff pack for The Sims 4 is available now on Origin! Grab yourself a copy for some backyard fun in the sun with the new hot tub object.
