Test of The Sims 4 Spring Cleaning Kit

C’est le kit le plus complet des kits sortis jusqu’à présent, Les Sims 4 Ménage de Printemps est le seul à apporter des nouveautés en terme de gameplay. Vos Sims vont découvrir les joies du ménage avec l’arrivée de la poussière et des aspirateurs !

Vacuum cleaners

To begin, let's take a look at the Purchase Mode to discover the vacuum cleaners you can buy. There are two types of vacuum cleaners available, handheld and cordless. They are available in two and three brands respectively, each at different prices.

Vacuum cleaners can be upgraded so that they don't break, don't need to be emptied, run without electricity or improve their efficiency.

Cleanliness and dust

Before you start this game, note that you can, at any time, enable or disable the dust system on your field from the game options. No need to clean up by unchecking it! Life is good!

There are several levels of cleanliness on your property. If your property is " own" In this area, you will see the ground shine brightly and your Sims will have positive moods. In this area, your Sim will progress faster in their skills and work.

On a field " dusty "You may see some dust here and there. Some dust fluff may appear but nothing alarming. A dusty area gives your Sims a feeling of not being alone in the house and therefore enjoy a bonus in their relationships.

The grounds " sales " n’ont pas vu d’aspirateur depuis longtemps. Le sol prend un couleur peu réjouissante et de la poussière vole dans la pièce. Les Sims commencent à avoir un état d’esprit « Tendu » en restant dans la pièce. Vos Sims auront aussi un malus dans leurs relations.

Cuddly toys behave like animals in the sense that they have an emotion. To put them in a good mood, you can feed them, pet them or befriend them. Becoming a friend will make the stuffed animal stay permanently on your property, within the limit of one per floor (and three maximum)

The stuffed animals can search for treasures hidden under your furniture and bring back some collectibles or money.

If you reach the "disgusting" level of dirt, the dirt fluff will turn into dirt monsters. These creatures are similar but with red eyes.

Their level of happiness is replaced by a level of malice. As the level increases, so does the risk of them causing fires for example. Make sure you get rid of them or clean your home. If you prefer, you can also ask them for mercy to spare your little home for a while...
