Hello everyone, my name is AZZATRU, how are
you?
And welcome to another star wars gaming video.
In this one I've got something quite different
yet really exciting because there is a new
star wars game to play, well, sort of.
Star Wars is coming to The Sims 4 and thanks
to EA Game Changers, I've been given early
access to show you what you can play!
From branching missions that let you choose
your story to lightsaber duels I've been impressed
with what I've played so far.
Whilst this is not the brand new open world
star wars rpg we all want, it is a fun side
game that has lore set in the time frame of
the latest films.
You can even meet Kylo, Hondo and other fan
favourite characters as you do more in your
own personal story.
During this video I'll be taking you on a
tour of Galaxy's Edge, the disneyland park
that has been recreated in The Sims and showing
you what the Journey to Batuu pack has to
offer.
Honestly, the timing of this pack releasing
could not be any better for me.
I was lucky enough to visit last year and
I miss it dearly plus I was meant to go on
holiday to galaxy's edge this summer but due
to covid I've had to push it to next year.
I know some of you also have had to do the
same so I feel your pain.
To soften the blow a little bit EA has come
to the rescue!
Pretty much all of the park is in this sims
pack so if you're wanting to take an interactive
look at stuff you can experience in-person,
this is the way to go.
So as you might know, Batuu and Black Spire
outpost is in middle of a war between the
Resistance and First Order.
There are 3 areas on the new map you can go
to.
Black spire outpost which is neutral, the
first order camp and the resistance one.
All of these theme park locations have been
faithfully recreated and offer different atmospheres.
The main aim of the pack is to earn reputation
to level up 1 of 3 factions, the first order,
resistance 
and scoundrels.
You get reputation by completing missions.
For example, you can partake in a kessel run
on the millennium falcon with hondo plus ambush
space pirates.
As you level up, you unlock new pathways to
take in missions along with new items like
outfits, droids, and starfighter access.
Speaking of droids, you can build your very
own companion R series or BB unit just as
you would at the real galaxy’s edge.
And just like droid depot, savii’s workshop
is also in the game meaning you can go and
build a lightsaber!
You can choose your kyber crystal and hilt
just like in real life.
Once you have one you can challenge people
to a duel!
Another thing you can challenge people in
is sabaac.
You have a bunch of options to choose from
when playing including cheating and you can
get caught if you’re unsuccessful just like
how Han noticed Lando in the film.
You can also get caught in other ways but
this time by the first order.
Around the map there are terminals, containers
and other stuff you can splice to gain information
or items.
Patrolling stormtroopers will arrest you if
you keep causing problems so stay safe out
there.
Another thing I’d like to mention is that
included with this pack are clothes and alien
species to give to any of your sims even when
you’re not on batuu plus toys and other
items from various shops can be taken home
to your sims world
and be used there.
Now for context, I’m no simmer, I have played
an hour or so only in my life.
Before the Sims 4 was announced I made a 9-episode
Sims 3 let’s play and I was so bad and I
never returned.
But this star wars pack has made me return
and I just want to complete it!
From a star wars fan perspective, this is
something we didn’t ask for but it is a
unique experience worth playing if you have
the sims and want more star wars gaming content!
I only 
played for a few hours but it kept me entertained
and look forward to playing it further.
I just hope the
missions don’t become to repetitive.
There is a lot of fetching things to give
to someone.
These are just some of the little details
you will notice but I really admire the lengths
the devs went to.
So, there are cross fade wipe transitions
just like in the films between loading screens
which is a real nice touch.
The music is star wars with a little change
in tone to fit the sims universe and all of
the sounds make this version of Black Spire
outpost feel like the real place.
On top of that all of the food and drink is
what you can order to eat in the Disney park.
The whole presentation of the package with
artwork accompanying the lore or being able
to have major characters part of your own
personal story, oozes passion and care.
Journey to Batuu for Sims 4 releases on September
8th for all platforms so if you want to try
this out, that is when you’ll be able to
play!
I might make more videos or stream this so

that plus I’d love to hear your opinions
