Though there were quite a few updates this year, there were three in particular that set the stage for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sims 4 <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to flourish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"related-single\"><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/ea-sims-4-gallery-best-popular-rooms-download\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>The Sims 4: 10 Most Popular Rooms In The Gallery Fans Need to Download<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Marc_Coronado\/status\/1329457141875433475\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Platforms were originally showcased in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/the-sims-4-snowy-escape-trailer\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sims 4: Snowy Escape <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gameplay trailer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and it was soon revealed that they\u2019d be a base game update free to all players. This was exciting, as it meant players didn\u2019t have to buy the newest expansion to get access to the advanced build feature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Platforms introduced split-level builds to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sims <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">franchise, and it will never be the same again in the best possible way. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/sims-4-platform-tool-new-creative\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Platforms can be used in a variety of creative ways<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that add additional detail and flair to any <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sims <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">build.

The memory system from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sims 2<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> let Sims keep a working memory of good and bad moments in their life and added extra drama to the game. Players wanted to see a return of this system, as it gave extra personality to Sims as they navigated their personal relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luckily, Sentiments were added to the game in the update <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/sims-4-new-expansion-snowy-escape-good-bad\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">before <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Snowy Escape<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s release<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and added back some of the memories that players were missing so much.

In June, at the height of the Black Lives Matter movement and protests, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sims <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">community rallied together to ask <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sims <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Team <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/the-sims-4-hispanic-heritage-skin-tone-update-controversy-explained\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to update the skin tones in-game<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for more accurate representation. The original skin tones were criticized because as they progressively got darker, they became more ashy and pixelated, looking unappealing and, frankly, ugly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sims <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Team soon issued a statement and promised to work on updating the skin tones. The updates came in two waves, the first of which was supposed to fix any pixelation issues on the existing skin tones. The second came not too long ago, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/sims-4-adding-100-skin-tones\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">adding over 100 new skin tones<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in a range of warm, neutral, and cool tones. While the first one hardly fixed anything, the second delighted players across <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sims <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">community, as people were finally able to make accurate depictions of themselves in-game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2020 has been a wild ride of a year from start to finish, affecting everyone in ways previously unseen.
