The Sims 4 is expanding again with the upcoming Businesses and Hobbies expansion pack, and there are exciting incentives for early adopters. Players who purchase the pack before April 18th will receive three exclusive bonus items to enhance their Sims' entrepreneurial journeys.

The Sims franchise is celebrating its 25th anniversary, and EA is marking the occasion with new content for The Sims 4, including this expansion pack and more surprises expected throughout the year.

The Sims 4 Create-a-Sim Kits offer a range of customization options, but certain categories often need more variety.  These new bonus items provide some welcome additions for players building businesses or simply decorating their Sims' homes.

The three bonus items tie in with the themes of the new expansion pack. The Practice Makes Perfect Priscilla statue showcases a heavily tattooed figure, reflecting the new tattooing hobby. The Sweetest Treat Display Case provides a stylish way to preserve and present goods for business owners.  Finally, the Beautiful Flaws Lamp, incorporating the Japanese art of Kintsugi, adds a touch of elegance with its gold-repaired cracks, connecting to the expansion's pottery element.

Players have responded positively to these early bird bonuses, appreciating the flexibility of ordering within a month of launch instead of being pressured into pre-ordering. This allows players to assess early reviews and performance before committing to a purchase.

The Sims community has already enjoyed a wealth of content this year, including the return of The Sims 1 and 2 with the Sims Legacy Collections.  With upcoming kits scheduled for release and more announcements on the horizon, 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Sims fans.
