Players can set relationships between Sims, which will result in varied and interesting day-to-day interactions between Sims in a family home. A great example of this is shown in the trailer, with an example family known as the Michaelsons. 

Live a life full of important choices, memorable milestones, and dynamic relationships in The Sims 4 Growing Together Expansion Pack*, launching March 16 at 10 a.m. PT. Pre-order or buy through April 27 and get the Outdoor Playtime Digital Content**! (This content will become available when the pack launches.)

Family is at the center of a lot of the choices and milestones your Sim will be faced with in the Growing Together Expansion Pack. For example – will they let their parents move in with them? Saying ‘no’ will impact those relationships and saying ‘yes’ could make life at home a lot more complicated. What if your Sim’s parents don’t get along with their partner? For you, the choice might be whether you want to keep the peace or stir up some drama.

New relationships are getting more dynamic too. If your Sim goes out to meet new people, they might find someone they instantly like who they could be friends with for life. Or they could meet a lifelong enemy. Social chemistry will make some Sims click and some Sims clash, and how they navigate these feelings is up to you.

The Sims 4’s Growing Together expansion pack will be available on March 16 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Mac.
