‘The Sims 4: Get Together’ Features: New European-Inspired Area Windenburg Teased By Dev

You won't be seeing the upcoming "The Sims 4" expansion pack "Get Together" until Dec. but the game has recently previewed one of its features, the new Euro-inspired area called Windenburg.

In a blog post, the creative team behind "The Sims 4" provided a behind-the-scenes look into how the new area was conceptualized and what players can expect when the game comes out.

Snapshots were included in the post that helped developers figure out how the new area's districts will look like.

"One shows an old town square with buildings in the Tudor style and a lush forest in the background, surrounding what looks like Gothic ruins," Tech Times said.

"The other shows a more modern area with geometric buildings along a canal, which has a London, Paris or Amsterdam feel to it."

The snapshots aren't from the actual game, according to the website. However, they served as the benchmark which the team used to build Windenburg.

"The Sims 4" team realized early on that European architecture is a mixed between old and new features "creating an incredibly unique aesthetic that [they] really wanted to embrace."

For the "Get Together" expansion pack, the team decided on what they call "Tudor Modern" which is "a mix of contemporary construction and the kind of buildings built during the 16th century in England."

Having figured things out on a small scale, the team turned their attention to what Windenburg's map will look like. Sketches were included in the blog post which are said to be close to the actual used that will be used in the game.

Apparently, the map features a Business District, an area with quaint Tudor buildings, a high-end residential island in the middle of a lake and the Countryside.

Check out the sketches and snapshots here.

Apart from Windenburg, "Get Together" also brings other features such as Clubs and a bunch of new in-game items.

"The Sims 4: Get Together" North American release date is set for Dec. 8. A worldwide debut will reportedly follow later in the week.
