EA has released an update to The Sims 4, adding new holiday-related content and new career options for free.
Football Manager 2015 Update Adds Fixes, Increases Steam Workshop Functionality
As part of the patch, players now have access to the Holiday Celebration Pack, which adds a selection of items including a wreath, wall decorations, and a grinning holiday snowman. There is also some holiday clothing available for your Sims to wear, so they can throw their own ugly sweater parties.
The patch adds quite a bit in addition to the highlight holiday items: there are new additions to the Business and Athletic Career paths, paid family leave for having children, and paid time off. Truly, only The Sims can make any of that sound appealing in a video game.
