Speaking of children, they will be able to do gardening activities when the new "The Sims 4" update arrives. All child Sims will be able to water plants in the garden, but must unlock Mental skill thresholds before they can weed, plant, and harvest.

Those who can plant can also choose which container they can plant the seed in. Options include pot, planter, and patch.

Children and even toddlers will have the option to talk to plants depending on their Communication skill level.

New Art and Hair

EA has partnered with artists from the LGBTQ+ community to bring new art to the game. The upcoming "Sims 4" update will include art from two artists, according to the sneak peek.

The first artist to feature in the next "The Sims 4" update is Mohammed Iman Fayez, who describes his piece "A Recipe for Good Times" as "some sweetness, some tenderness, some silliness, and some love. A recipe for good times."

The second artist is Ashley Lukashepsky. EA describes her art pieces as one that conveys "the idea that our liberations are interlinked, and that we need to look out for each other."

Aside from new art, players can also expect new hair in the upcoming patch to add to the many Create A Sim options already available. The new hair will be a modernized version of the large afro hairstyle.
