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.

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.

Xperia C5 Ultra could be your dream bezel-less phone

By
last week Sony announced the near bezel-less C5 Ultra, now before we jump further you should know the whole bezel-less thing only applies to its side bezels the top and bottom ones are big while the top one is actually huge, we don't particularly find complete bezel-less phones easy to use but some people actually do so if less bezel size and more screen space is your forte than this phone might interest you, also note that the top bezel is large for a good reason it house's the 13 MP selfie camera . The C5 Ultra is set to launch on 14th august for $425 the price and availability could vary in other countries. C5 Ultra runs on a Mediatek 1.7 Ghz  Octa core procesor, offer's a 6" full 1080p screen, 13 MP camera both at the front and back, 2 GB Ram, 16 GB internal storage, SD card slot and a 2930 mah battery, all in a very sleek body which still is plastic though but looks good with the Xperia design language. Oh and colour options are mint green, black and white. ...

How the Witcher 3 silently became a benchmark for new games

By
Image Source Every few years we get a good captivating video game and every now and then there is are game of the decade candidates. Up till now Skyrim was considered probably the best role playing game but we reckon we might have to change our mind after playing the Witcher 3 over and over. So what makes the Witcher 3 so good? Let's start off with the fact that I never thought that Witcher 3 would convince me enough to write about it. When it got released, initially, I didn't even download it or had any desire to do so. Just munching away hours playing Fifa 15 and Skyrim (yup, taking care of my two virtual daughters), I had already played The Witcher 1 and 2 but neither of them kept me interested in the story or the sandbox open world. One thing to note is that I absolutely hated the controls in The Witcher 2: The Assassin's of kings, Ie know some of you might find them similar to The Witcher 3 but in my opinion though Witcher 3's controls are generations ahe...
