The new "The Sims 4" update also disallows children to receive inappropriate text messages from adults. Add to this the fact that they are no longer able to change skin tones whenever they are picked up. Also, adult sims are no longer expected to get the whim to get married if they are already married, that is. Lastly, the update changes the Love Guru from the Romance Festival. Once married into a household, the guru will no longer be immortal.
Interestingly, data miners were able to acquire key information from the latest patch, as reported by iDigitalTimes. They noticed an XML code that hints at the possible arrival of Chance Cards. Apparently, these were already previously teased by the developers. Chance cards are said to be related to character values, something that can be acquired through positive parenting.
The above-mentioned cards will vary depending on the kind of teachings the sims present to their children. Simply put, the chance cards acquired will depend on traits such as responsibility and good manners, among others. As such, these cards are really something that fans should look forward to.
