A new Sims 4 update of the Delivery Express variety is live in the life sim, and it brings some changes to a familiar family and your cookbook. Some fans accused EA and Maxis of whitewashing classic Sims NPCs in The Sims 4, including the Goth and Caliente families, as their skin tones were noticeably lighter than they were in previous games, and the latest update addresses that problem for the Caliente family.
The entire family – twins Dina and Nina and mother Katrina – have new facial features, hair, and skin tones that align them more closely with how they look in The Sims 2 and their multicultural heritage. In the older game, Katrina was Nighat Caliente, a woman of Arab descent, and the twins’ father was a Spanish man named Flamenco.
Flamenco is nowhere in sight in The Sims 4, and in his place is Don Lothario, described as Katrina’s toy boy. The new update gives him body hair and a facial hair option, following that customization feature’s debut in 2022’s High School Years expansion.
All four members of the Caliente household now have a set of likes and dislikes. The free update that launched alongside the Growing Together expansion introduced likes and dislikes for player Sims and newer NPCs, though most legacy NPC families were passed over for the change unless you use Sims mods.
The second half of the Delivery Express update introduces new Jewish recipes you can make at home. The first is Matzah Ball Soup, which requires an herb and level four cooking, and the second is Challah Bread. You can whip that one up with just eight Simoleons and a level two cooking skill.
