Progression of non-playable characters in The Sims 4 Neighborhood Stories.

A brand new feature centered around storytelling is set to arrive in The Sims 4 on November 30. EA, the development team, is promising a more immersive gameplay experience, complete with unique stories for all of the new NPCs. Let's dive into the details of the announcement to determine if it's worth downloading.

How It Works

According to the announcement, the upcoming Story Progression feature will enhance all NPC households. Following the update, you will discover a plethora of new suggestions for characters, with the added twist that these characters will autonomously make changes to their lives. You'll receive suggestions to engage in activities, visit friends, start a family, or even end a relationship. The array of new social choices will have lasting consequences that will alter your interactions with your neighbors.

New Objectives

With the update, two new major aspirations will be introduced:

  1. Neighborhood Confidante - this aspiration will guide your sim in becoming a positive influence in the neighborhood and will provide opportunities to affect various changes more easily with new traits.
  2. Villainous Valentine - this aspiration will turn your sim into a troublemaker when it comes to romantic relationships. This objective includes the Twisted Heart trait, which will transform your sim into a dramatic character.

Upcoming Release

While the official release date for the update is November 30, the developers will be rolling out the features gradually to ensure a seamless experience. The initial version of Story Progression will be accessible for NPCs with whom your sim has established relationships. Download the update and see how it enhances your gameplay!
