Get ready to pursue inspiring skills and meaningful businesses! With the new Ticket Kiosk you can run the business you want, charging customers for entry or for time spent. Incorporate the new hobbies – Pottery and Tattooing – into your business, charge for lessons, or come up with something unique! You can start your business right out of your Sim’s home. There’s a new selector tool that allows you to designate space for your business.
With the new Tattooing skill comes new possibilities for expression. You can even create custom tattoos and share them with other players through The Gallery! With this pack tattoos can also be layered, giving you more freedom to get creative.
With Pottery, you’ll have the option to add a glaze (there are a variety to choose from) and at high skill levels you’ll be able to use the Japanese art of Kintsugi to repair broken ceramics with gold.
Explore the skills you’re passionate about in a new world: Nordhaven! This historic town has daily Meetups for hobbies where your Sims can connect with those who share their interests, and maybe even find a Mentor. You can also grow your skills by attending Classes or Lectures, or you might want to host them yourself! Classes are goaled events that are run as part of a small business, which means you can earn Simoleons teaching any skill.
Available March 6 at 10AM PT on EA App PC/Mac, Steam, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, and PlayStation®5. Pre-order now: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/buy/addon/the-sims-4-businesses-and-hobbies-expansion-pack

I fw this heavy I’m actually happy with this
A lot of the comments praising the bare minimum…people like you are the reason EA can get away with releasing full price packs that have no substance, wake up 😭
The urbz fam!
Hahaha. I love that sims can burn their business down for the insurance money. Nice touch!
Is it safe to say you can have a functional museum with a gift shop and lecture hall? I haven’t seen anything that for sure says you can just have a section where they just view items. Praying bro praying. I have a super sim and I want her to be a museum curator so bad. I want to have a whole world I feel very passionate about instead of just having literally every collectible in my basement.
hobbies…where??
I think the German name for the pack is a lot more fitting than the English one.
In German it’s called „Vom Hobby zum Business“ which translates to „From hobby to business“
The fact that soooooooo many of you dont know what hobby means is crazy. Yall want to complain just because. The hobbies were in the trailer. Just because you dont consisder them hobbies doesnt mean they arent. There are few careers in the base game that should be hobbies but they arent. Sooooo yeah a hobby is what ever you do during your leasure hours, like idk POTTERY! 🙄
LOOOOL this should’ve been a free birthday Get To Work refresh. This is abysmal.
I will be boycotting this.
Feels like 50% Tattoo Parlour from this trailer but I guess the surprises in the other ventures are to be discovered.
Looks like a good pack in a long time, just a shame it costs a lot for anyone who might not have the game yet or by now be a choice to consider for HDD space.
They got the business part down.. it looks great! But, only one hobby added with this expansion?
I preordered this expansion pack, I am looking forward to it.
"Ah cool new businesses and hobbies, lets see what they add."
"Nice, pottery, classic sims hobbie"
"Oh sweet, tattoo artists, Nice!"
"Oh… theyre showing pottery again"
"And now they're showing tattoos again…."
"There are two hobbies total"
just fell in love w this. buying
How about not putting out all these expansion packs and fixing the game instead, so we actually can play without losing everything? For Rent has caused so much havoc in the game and it needs to be fixed!!
Take care of little ones? Will we have daycares
Is there a reason why this wasn't a Get to Work refresh besides EA wanting more money? Please I must know
me expecting this to be sims 2 freetime but in reality it’s just sims 4 get to work with a more expansive business feature lol
Damn. This a good trailer. Showed everything and it looks good. Should have been in get to work yes, but still good
I miss when it was a character narrating the gameplay. This just sounds like an instruction manual and immediately bored ne.
Sims please give us custom logos. Only having 20 to pick from is not fun. 😭
I'm not paying 50.00 to do pottery. 😢
two… two neighborhoods?…
soooo no multi purpose lots? You can live at your business with get to work, just not officially. Nothing in here is new. It’s just repackaged and redressed from other packs. This is such a joke lmao
You need step up there sims 4 team especially with new animations.. Because inzoi comes soon and not only that.. You lost me already, you will lose many more too 😂
If this breaks my game, my heart will break. I’m actually so excited!!
Please let these events run like life and death and not my wedding stories
