The official reveal trailer, which debuted on February 6, 2025, shows off a plethora of new content revolving around your Sims owning small 💮businesses and enjoying hobbies. Long-requested skills such as tattooing and pottery will now not only be available for your Sims to mꦚaster but also to open their own business about their passion.

The next expansion pack for The Sims 4 is Businesses & Hobbies

The trailer al🔯so showed off another long-awaited feature, th🌌e ability to run your business from your Sim’s home. You can designate certain rooms to be available to the public and others that are just for the lot’s residents. 

Finally, in another win for the community, tattooing will be given much more freedom. Not only will you be able to layer more tattoos over your Sim instead of one per body slot, you’re also able to freehand and draw tattoos as you like, similar to pet markings. These two gameplay features have been requested for years by Sims 4 players, and finꦜally, we’re getting them added to the gameꦉ.

The expansion will get a gameplay trailer on February 18, which will likely show off more hobbies that your Sims are able to enjoy. The trailer fo🦋cused entirely on tattooing and pottery, so hopefully we’ll get to see more available hobbies than just those two. We’re also expecting to see a tutorial on how to use the new room designations, as well as the expanded range of options for small businesses.

We only have a month before the release of the new expansion, so 🔥EA is sure to cram in all the information it can about the new pack before the offici🍎al release. We’re excited to see more about this promising expansion.
