With free updates, perfect patios and spas The Sims 4 wants to be loved again.

By



The disastrously troubled release of SimCity (2013) was not as crucial a failure for EA and Maxis as the release of The Sims 4 was. It took 5 years for The Sims Studio to come up with the much anticipated successor to its highest selling game of all time, The Sims 3, but, the outcome was harmlessly disappointing. While no one was expecting The Sims 4 to be as rich and imaginative as the kind of game that its predecessor had become in last 5 years, the decision by Maxis to remove toddlers and swimming pools from the base game did not help promote their efforts. 

This is the list of all the features that were removed from the base game (and some that were added later).

However EA and Maxis, unlike their treatment of The SimCity, had a different plan which required “..delivering on the vision set out for The Sims 4 required focus.” Despite late addition of swimming pools and other features with regular patches the path that Maxis had set for the game didn’t see any light until the announcement of first expansion pack Get to Work. Maxis, for the first time since the release in September, stopped covering the tracks and started expanding the new Sims 4 eco system.

The work at The Sims Studio and constant improvement of the game, which was much invisible and mundane up till now, can be seen in the new Perfect Patio stuff pack and Spa Day game pack. Soon after the release of Luxury Party stuff pack EA announced Perfect Patio stuff pack. The glamorously intimate hot tubs which came with The Sims 3: Late Night expansion have been added back along with a new grill and other similar objects that make up a perfect patio for your wealthy Sims.

In addition to that in the new monthly update Maxis has added back half walls, which aren’t exactly half this time, and locked doors (Finally!), which the simmers had been demanding since Get to Work expansion. The update is available for free and can be downloaded right now.

Not enough? Do not worry.

“After getting to work in April, we figured your Sims could use even more Zen – and what’s more relaxing than a luxurious spa?” – Perfect Patio announcement.
Yes, a Spa. Remember the nice Sauna from The Sims 2? Well it is making a return this month. The new game pack will also include mud bath, ‘a safer form of relaxation’; Meditation, ‘Talk about Zen’, Yoga and Massages. But if you are still not satisfied you can always do the great olden WooHoo, this time in Sauna. After all if The Sims wants to be loved again it won’t stop your Sims from making some. 
Check out these photos and trailers of Spa Day releasing on 14th July.

Sony announces the Xperia Z5, Z5 compact and Z5 premium

By
Today Sony officially showcased the Xperia Z5 series of its flagship phones, while Sony hasn't been having a lot success in the smartphone market. Recently it hasn't been as much successful as it once used to be in mobile phone sales, its sales have fallen in the international market which is primarily due to the highly saturated market for premium smartphones as even Samsung and Apple are having a hard time now. Sony today presented the world with what it believes a smartphone of 2015 and 2016 should be like and that is the Xperia Z5 which comes in three different variations the largest being the Xperia Z5 premium followed by the regular Xperia Z5 and lastly the smallest Xperia Z5 compact.

Last year Sony released the C5 Ultra a near bezel less phone with a premium design but was ultimately a mid ranger, this year we are here again reporting about the C6, another bezel less phone with a premium design. Image Source   The phone most likely will boast a 5.5 full HD screen, an Octa core Helio P10, 16 Gb internal storage, 3 or 2 Gb Ram and will of course support 4g LTE. The leaked pictures show a bezel less design which resembles the Z3 though it's not aluminium like the later. Image Source What do you think about the phone and it's design? And how it will fare against the other mid rangers.

By
We already told you that windows 10 might get its RTM build this week and now according to reports we might have the RTM builds on July 10th which clearly goes to show Microsoft is working at full throttle. In an updated blog post Microsoft said it will be pushing out the RTM builds pretty soon to its OEM partners followed by build for retailers and finally to all those who reserved a free copy will get the upgrade on 29th July in waves, but if you can't wait like we can't you might want to clean install the latest insiders build 10162 and update it to the RTM build this weekend on 10th July, the RTM build will be sent most definitely to insiders first for testing so if you want to get a stable or at least 90% stable windows 10 then here's your chance. Further Microsoft mentioned in the blog post that windows 10 is compatible with almost all windows 8x and 7x devices. "In our testing of millions of systems, we're seeing full compatibility today with the vas...
