Leaks are commonplace forThe Sims 4, but one leaked feature in the game’s next Expansion Pack may be a better fit for its competitorInZOI. Even when the game was first announced, players and critics alike have comparedInZOItoThe Simsfranchise. The theme of this alleged new pack may seem like an additionInZOIwould not be able to currently add or take inspiration from. But the pack’s features certainly aren’t off the table for the new life simulation game.
Many leaks forThe Sims 4’s DLC have occurred due to accidental listings on online storefronts. In some cases, leaks have been as innocuous as a title drop or a few promo images. But the worst-case scenario has resulted in features being leaked on top of the pack’s title and gameplay images. Such was the case with this leaked pack. But EA has revealed a Summer Roadmap forThe Simsfranchise, witha new roadmap forThe Sims 4outlining June through August, and the official reveal for the Enchanted by Nature pack is set to debut on June 12.
The Leaked Enchanted by Nature Expansion Pack for The Sims 4
As mentioned, the upcoming Expansion Pack forThe Sims 4followed in the footsteps of previous leaks when it was accidentally revealed on Instant Gaming. With the release ofThe Sims 4’s summer roadmap, players can now expectThe Enchanted by Nature Expansion Packto launch on May 17, 2025. Some of the pack’s leaked features include a new Natural Living skill, potion crafting, the Naturopath career route, apothecaries, and most exciting of all, the return of the Fairy Occult type. Fairies have been a long-time request by Simmers forThe Sims 4, as they were last included in the franchise over ten years ago inThe Sims 3: Supernatural.
Additionally,The Sims 4is currently hostingthe Nature’s Calling Event, where players can earn new Build and Buy and Create-a-Sim items like a Reclaimed Woodworking Table, Flowing Fronds Swimwear, and even a new Nature Soundscapes radio station. With more information on upcoming features forThe Sims 4coming soon, the Nature’s Calling Event certainly isn’t a coincidence, and the Enchanted by Nature Expansion Pack will soon be a reality. ThoughInZOIhas largely focused on realism, this somewhat supernaturalSims 4Expansion Pack could serve as inspiration forInZOIto expand one of its existing features.
InZOI Could Copy The Sims 4’s Apothecary Table
As mentioned, apothecaries will allegedly be an important part of the Enchanted by Nature Expansion Pack. One item specifically mentioned in the leak is a new apothecary table. This table can be used to cure various illnesses, with the new table necessary to build skills and progress in the pack’s new career path.InZOIhas taken a much less mystical approach to health. SickZois must locate a first-aid kitin order to obtain medicine and recover from illnesses.
Rather than completely diving into the fantastical elements of the Enchanted by Nature pack,InZOIcould introduce a new twist on the first-aid kitby taking inspiration from the apothecary table. This new gameplay item could be more interactive with players crafting and creating remedies rather than simply finding and using them.
Perhaps an apothecary table could also feature exclusive gameplay, such as crafting vitamins and supplements, which Zois could take to prevent illness. Specific vitamins and supplements could be tied to specific illnesses, with warning symptoms occurring to let players know their Zoi was about to be sick with the flu, a cold, and so forth. Taking these supplements early enough to prevent these symptoms could make Zois not actually fall ill. Regardless, it’s clear thatThe Sims 4is bringing more DLC to the table that maintains the gap between the long-running franchise andInZOI. One of the best solutions to this issue is forInZOItoinnovate uponThe Sims 4’s contentand this new apothecary table is just one way the simulation game could attempt this.
