The Sims 4 is getting two new Kits - the small-ish pieces of DLC which add new items, and no new mechanics, to the construction toybox. The Poolside Splash kit adds new "brght and playful" swimwear and poolside floaties, while the Modern Luxe kit adds expensive décor for use in posh homes. Both kits launch later this week on September 7th.
As well as swimwear, examples from Poolside Splash given in the announcement post include "aquatic accessories" such as shades, sandals, and new nail designs.
My personal idea of luxury centers on being able to afford to fully stock my cupboards with beans and macaroni. Sims aim higher. The Modern Luxe kit includes "TV’s disguised as wall art, designer handbags, sculptures and a functional record player." The kit was made in partnership with Sims YouTuber Xureila.
"From my vision board of the design to choosing the style and colors of the furniture, it was surreal seeing my ideas come to life," says Xureila in the announcement. "I drew inspiration from Black artists who showcased the luxurious lifestyle of Black individuals. This ultimately served as the primary influence for the project. I mixed in my own personal tastes and interests to create the final product."
New DLC continues to appear regularly for The Sims 4, such as the Horse Ranch expansion back in July. EA Maxis have announced that they've started work on The Sims 5, however, currently known as Project Rene, and have shown off early in-engine prototypes.

Asus has announced it's going to be shipping the ROG Ally Z1 edition handheld PC starting from October 3 for the painfully high price of $599 (£599). This new device will ship with essentially the same base hardware as the top-spec ROG Ally, which sports the full AMD Z1 Extreme APU, so in a way you can see why it's only $100 cheaper.
The Palia team continues updating the game and adding features since the open beta began. This time, there’s a new series of hotfixes, plus some new furniture, new crops and recipes, and a whole new place to explore.
Hometopia is an upcoming simulation game that genuinely sparks so much excitement deep within me. It blends all of my favorite House Flipper qualities with The Sims 4’s own dollhouse-esque vibes, creating an irresistible wholesome gameplay experience. Hometopia is all about what you can create, whether you choose to design your dream home or a Barbie-inspired mansion. The fun doesn’t end there, though, as the game actually supports co-op so you can build alongside your friends.

Meta has started rolling out its Meta Quest v57 update for its Quest virtual reality headsets. The update brings a range of new features and upgrades for Quest users such as unsending image messages, horizon feed, and more. But one of the most important feature upgrades to come from the update is an improvement to the avatar creator, as the company adds better customization options for users to fine-tune their appearance. Users will now be able to do a bunch of customization previously not possible such as adding highlights to hair, using a slider to pick a specific base hair color, and even choosing the color of your eyebrows. This was a feature many had asked for in the past and Meta has finally delivered.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is set to be a much bigger game than its predecessors, with developer Insomniac Games having confirmed that the upcoming sequel’s open world New York will be roughly twice as large as the previous two entries in the series. New boroughs are being added in the form of Queens (where Aunt May’s house can also be visited) and Brooklyn, while Coney Island will also be present– though it seems one notable NYC landmark won’t be present in the game.
