Our Sims 4 main menu experience is crowded enough already, but it's now gotten more packed. Just ahead of its official announcement this week, players managed to dig up proof of the new "events" system that will dole out free rewards for logging in regularly. The first event is called "Happy At Home" and runs for the next 35 days with a total of 8 in-game rewards to unlock.
It sure looks and feels like a battle pass. It's located on the main menu screen with a horizontal track of rewards that you can claim for logging in a certain number of days during the given event period. Rewards are things like new hair and jewelry for Create-A-Sim, new furniture and objects for Build Mode, and a new Sim trait as well. It looks like you aren't asked to log in every day, with a set of three rewards possible during week one, two during week two, and so on. And though it feels like damning with faint praise to say it, well, at least it's free.
