Nowadays, it’s become a trend for many gaming companies to implement a battle pass system, where players are rewarded for completing specific challenges. However, EA, in a surprising move, has decided to introduce the battle pass system to one of its most beloved games, the Sims 4. This sudden change has left many players taken aback, especially with the prospect of receiving different rewards each week under this new scheme. This initial surprise was just the beginning, as it soon led to a division of opinions within the community.
In the beginning, EA had not come out to accept or reject this battle pass; for now, it is already available just by opening the Sims 4. However, several users still have not seen any change or still do not have this new mechanic available. The biggest problem lies in conversations on social networks. Here, many players have complained that some of the new items and hairstyles are just re-colors of objects already in the game. For example, users who bought the Cats & Dogs expansion pack complain that they have the Serenity hairstyle but with degraded tips. Another major complaint is that even traits seem locked in the weekly Log-in challenges.
Meanwhile, other players are excited about this battle pass and the opportunity to receive more content for the Sims 4 for free. It is true that not everyone has the money to buy each expansion pack, even if some of them are on sale from time to time. This is an opportunity for many to get a wider variety of items, even if they are just a re-color or similar to others. This is only the first version of the Sims 4 to implement this system; we will see how it evolves or what new objects EA could include in the following updates.
