The Sims™ turns 17 this week, and we want to take this time to celebrate all the Simmers that helped us to hit this huge milestone. Without our amazing community, we never would have gotten to where we are now - so the whole week is going to be totally dedicated to you!
In your honor, we’ve got a few fun things planned, including:
We're launching a free in-game update* for The Sims 4 on Thursday, which will bring some changes to the main menu as well as a 17th Anniversary celebratory shirt for Sims of all sizes!
Daily The Sims 4 code giveaways on Twitter, offering prizes that span from base game to the latest EP;
A series of new Simmer Spotlights on TheSims.com, highlighting some of our great Simmers from all over the world;
An Origin Sale for The Sims 4 titles, Twitch Streams from our amazing community, and a couple of fun (and delicious looking) videos!

The Sims franchise turns 16 today! Seriously! 16 years ago on February 4, the original The Sims was released. Since then the franchise has grown and grown, with The Sims 2, The Sims 3, and, of course, The Sims 4. We wanted to celebrate the 16th Anniversary of The Sims by adding some new content in a free* Update to The Sims 4.
The stuff available in this Update wasn’t chosen randomly, either – fans who have been around since the first game might notice a common thread here. There’s one specific thing chosen to represent each base game in the franchise!
From The Sims, we’re bringing an homage to the Tragic Clown by way of a painting of the sad fool. One look at it and your Sim will walk away with a “Tragic Clown is Tragic” Moodlet. If it makes your Sim sad, why look at it? Because sometimes everyone needs a good cry. But fear not – there’s also a Plumbob Poster you can use to decorate your Sim’s room. It doesn’t do anything, but we hope that when you look at it, you’re filled with happy feelings of llamas and grilled cheese.
Speaking of grilled cheese, The Sims 2 fans likely remember the Grilled Cheese Aspiration, and we’re happy to bring it to The Sims 4. If you want your Sim to have a (mildly unhealthy) obsession with Grilled Cheese, this is definitely the way to do it.
The… wait, did someone just steal your Sim’s TV? Oh, it might be because they have the Kleptomaniac Trait from The Sims 3. Sims with this Trait can’t help but swipe objects from their neighbors, or the Club, or… well, anywhere they go.
There’s also an NPC coming back: the Gardener! With a phone call, the Gardener will come to your Sim’s house and take care of their plants. We’ve had a lot of requests for this NPC to return, and we’re really happy to include it as part of this Update.
It’s all in-game starting today, and we really hope you enjoy this celebratory Update. Happy 16th Anniversary!

I think maybe some cloths, or some new cakes styles. Cake styles would be cool.
I think companies just tend to make a small statement or at most provide a small free gift. I doubt anything meaningful comes of it.

I'll vote for R&B and Latin.

And don't forget about radio station, Rock

Buy half of the ones you want now and, if/when the others go on sale, buy them.
Or buy the cheapest ones now and wait with the more expensive ones?
