If there is one things that can be frustrating for fans of Sims 4, it is the lack of new ideas in downloadable content. For fans of The Sims who may also be Stardew Valley farming enthusiasts, however, there is good news on the horizon. Thanks to a new mod developed by a fellow Sims 4 fan, those who have been itching to see a proper farming element added to Sims 4 will finally get their wish. This Sims 4 Farming Mod offers players a wide variety of ways to enjoy farm life while keeping everything that makes Sims 4 appealing for players in the past.
Life on the Sims 4 farm has a wide variety of tasks thanks to this modpack. Players can move into a custom map that offers five different lots to build on. These lots have a wide interactive area surrounding them for players to start their Sims 4 farms. They can grow and harvest crops, raise livestock, and then sell the products and produce to a local famers market or grocery store. For Stardew Valley fans familiar with modding, outfitting Sims 4 with this modpack shouldn't be a problem, and then players can get down tilling the virtual soil.
Farming isn't the only thing that Arnie, creator of the Sims 4 Farmland modpack, has added to this custom map. Going above and beyond, the Sims 4 map is now semi-open world, taking out the brutal load screens that stop players when traveling to and from locations on the map. Players can get married, go to school and work, as well as frequent the map's stores and restaurants. To top that off, players can even choose to open and run their own vineyard. The modpack holds more than most expansion packs for the Sims 4, and it will help anyone wanting to tie the joys of a farming simulation into their Sims 4 adventure.
The Sims 4 Farming Mod Offers More Than Most DLC
The Farmland modpack for Sims 4 will also include a story mode for those wanting a more guided adventure. The narrative follows a farmer as they discover the secrets of a new land, and is perfect for Stardew Valley fans who want to feel more closely tied to what is happening in the town, instead of the traditional Sims 4 style gameplay which is primarily player-driven. This could also be the perfect farming fix for players while they wait for news on the next Stardew Valley game and updates.
A long-standing issue with The Sims games has been repetition of DLC content. With every new version of the game, players are set back to square one with base content that is less than amazing. They are then forced to buy the same style of expansion packs they had for the last version, with little in the way of new ideas. With pets, magic, college, and vampires repeatedly tacked back onto the base game, it basically hasn't changed since the days of Sims 2. The only exception has been the Sims 4's improved graphics and character customization.
Thanks to modpacks like the one being created by Arnie, players may finally be able to get their money's worth out of the base game as well as pull in fans of other titles like Stardew Valley. Modpacks for the Sims 4 are the way to go for players looking for something new in their game, and it could allow them to step away from the financial sink-hole of outdated DLC. Instead, gamers can enjoy newly-made custom content, and it could motivate developers to consider including these ideas in future games.
