Gameplay

Sims can start a business right out of their home or invest in a dedicated Small Business Venue Lot, hiring employees and deciding exactly how to charge customers. Make and sell pottery or other crafts, provide a service like tattoos or classes, or come up with something entirely unique, incorporating the new Tattooing and Pottery hobbies directly into your business model. Classes are goaled events run as part of a small business, meaning Sims can earn Simoleons by teaching any skill, whether hosting lectures themselves or attending ones run by other Sims in town.

Story

A World of Possibility: build your future in a town steeped in history. In Nordhaven, Sims can attend Meetups to mix and mingle, since hobbies are best when shared, and can explore the neighborhoods of Gammelvik and Iverstad to meet like‑minded Sims. This northern coastal city is known for its thriving, independent local businesses and the enchanting beauty of its cold seasons, giving every Sim's entrepreneurial journey a distinct sense of place and community.

Graphics

Nordhaven brings a Scandinavian‑inspired visual identity to The Sims 4, with bustling streets framed by boldly colored, unique buildings that set the scene for endless creativity. The new Tattoo Paint Mode and Pottery Kiln add fresh layers of personalization to the game's visuals, letting players design intricate body art and glazed ceramic pieces that reflect each Sim's individual craft and style.
