We recently reported that the next game pack for The Sims 4, which was due to release on the 17th February 2022, was not going to be released in Russia.

This was because The Sims team believed that they would not be able to release the game pack there without making changes to accommodate anti-LGBTQ+ laws in the country. The Sims 4 is already rated Adults Only / 18+ in the country due to these laws.

Since this was announced, an outpouring has come from the community to find a way so that Russian simmers, particularly those who are LGBTQ+, could still experience this game pack.

The Sims team have released an official statement stating that they believe they can now continue to release the game pack worldwide – including Russia – completely unchanged and unaltered which is phenomenal news for the entire Simming community! To accommodate a worldwide release, the game pack has now been pushed back a week.

This means The Sims 4 My Wedding Stories is now releasing during the week of the 21st February, with the exact time to be confirmed.
