Hopefully this will stop some of the whining over the Sims 4. No, still no Toddlers. But I’ve been playing the game and I don’t really miss them. In fact, I thought they were always a bit of a nuisance. 
But if you make a lot of videos or need them for story telling, I could see a problem. Could I have done without them in my Sims stories? I think I could have written around that facet of life. Toddlers were never an integral part of any of them.
But we will get pools soon and as of today, The Sims own version of the walking dead is back.
And hey, Star Wars crap! They should have put that in the premium edition. It would have flown off the shelves.
From EA:
First, a rundown on the October update: October brings the spoooooky addition of Ghosts to The Sims 4. Your dead Sims can now rejoin the world of the living, where they maintain all the attributes they had a as a Sim, but with special new behaviors based on how they died.
Invite them to join your Sims’ household and they can be playable characters; if you dare, you might even find a way to bring your ghosts back to life.
Did you feel that disturbance in The Force? It was probably our new Star Wars Costume Set. Outfit your Sims in Luke Skywalker’s X-wing pilot suit, Leia’s white robes and awesome cinnamon buns, Darth Vader’s suit and, yes, even Yoda. I mean, who out there hasn’t dressed as Yoda for Halloween, right?
Now you can in The Sims 4, too! Community requests like new eye colors are in there, too. I have personally just given all my Sims purple eyes. Because I can. We’ve also fixed a few minor bugs as well.
Next come two more major updates: In November, get your Sim-suits ready (too much pun? Sorry!) because pools will make their triumphant debut in The Sims 4. December is Put-Your-Sims-To-Work Month, as we introduce new Career paths and rewards.
All of these updates will be free for our players in The Sims 4. Just log in to Origin and download the patches as we release them. Each update will be full of great content and some surprises. Think that gnomes only live in gardens? Clearly, you’re not playing enough of The Sims 4.
There's also the usual Corporate suck up to the customers in the article but you'll have to use the link to read that. Hey EA, what about the video of my houses? I thought it was pretty spectacular too! Oh well, maybe next time.
All of this is free so maybe things are looking up for Sims players and this is the new EA. Time will tell.
