n The Sims 4, the game has pushed a lot of boundaries over the years. But one area it hasn’t explored much is faith and spirituality.
Right now, there aren’t any dedicated religious or spiritual activities in the base game.
Why the Hesitation?
Adding religious content to the game is a complex decision. While some players are interested in seeing faith-based features, this is a very personal and sensitive topic.
EA, the game’s developer, needs to be careful about how they approach it. Creating accurate and respectful religious content is challenging.
So, while players may want it, arguing that spirituality is a basic part of being human and should be reflected in the game, implementing it is a very delicate line for EA to tread.
While Sims can enjoy winter holidays like Winterfest and New Year’s, these festivities center around tradition and community involvement, rather than religious practices.
Right now, the game’s religious options are broad and not very detailed.
For instance, you can make a special spot in your house for worship. You can also create church-like buildings, where you can hold weddings or build graveyards.
Holiday Celebrations in The Sims 4
Even though you can still enjoy Halloween and Christmas, complete with Father Winter visiting during Winterfest if you have Seasons installed, these celebrations aren’t religious in the game.
Instead, they focus on community and tradition, making them universal experiences for Sims players.
Install the “Get to Church” Mod
If you’re interested in adding religion-related activities to your Sims game, you can try out the “Get to Church” mod.
This mod lets you include church services in your gameplay. It also offers other options like:
- Offering prayers
- Discussing church topics
- Singing praises to God
- Sharing testimonies, and more.
Happy Simming!
