The Sims 4 – Businesses & Hobbies Expansion Pack DLC EU EA App Digital Key

A new life of skills and small business in Nordhaven

The Sims 4 - Businesses & Hobbies Expansion Pack sets your Sims up in Nordhaven, a town built around pursuing what you love. New skills give your Sims a proper trade: Tattooing lets them design and layer body art, while Pottery has them throwing on the wheel, glazing in the Kiln, and eventually mending broken pieces with the Japanese art of Kintsugi.

Both skills can become genuine careers. Sims can run a business from home or take on a Small Business Venue lot, hire staff from their own household or elsewhere, and set their own charges using the new Small Business system and Ticket Kiosk. It rewards imagination as much as ambition, whether that means selling custom tattoo designs shared through the Gallery or crafting functional tea sets and planters to sell.

Meetups, mentors and two new neighbourhoods

Nordhaven is built for a community of hobbyists. Sims can attend Meetups to find others who share their passions, take on mentors to speed up their learning, or become mentors themselves once skilled enough. Hosting Classes and Lectures is another route to progress, giving Sims a way to earn Mastery Perks while building a following.

The expansion adds the neighbourhoods of Gammelvik and Iverstad to explore, each offering more opportunities to meet like-minded Sims and put new skills to use.
