Electronic Arts has announced a new treat for players coming to the "The Sims 4: City Living." San Myshuno is home to a lot of exciting hangouts—the latest being karaoke bars.

Sims can purchase karaoke machines for their homes, but EA recommends players to check out the karaoke bars in the city, which include the Planet Honey Pop and Waterside Warble.

In "The Sims 4: City Living," belting out tunes on the karaoke will help Sims boost their Singing Skill. It does not matter if the Sims do not hit the note the first time. Practicing enough should make a great singer out of a patient dreamer.

"You'll find songs from a variety of catchy genres, including jazz, pop, disco, and more. Even better, each song has a hilarious video to accompany it! It's a treat for the eyes and ears!" EA teased.

Karaoke bars in "The Sims 4: City Living" allow players to sing solo or a duet with another Sims, allowing for "tones and pitch [to] collide as multiple Sims try their best to harmonize.

Karaoke machines will not just be all about who is holding the microphone. The Sims who are present for the performance can react. It will show if they like what they are hearing or not.

Meanwhile, EA has also announced the Day of the Dead Challenge for "The Sims 4" featuring Jasmine Holiday, who will be around up to Nov. 4 at 10 a.m. PT to help players celebrate.

The challenge requires players to earn Sugar Skulls, which they will put on their Sugar Skull Display Case to be provided by Jasmine Holiday.

To earn the Sugar Skulls, "The Sims 4" players only need to interact with the neighbors trick or treat style through the "Ask for Sugar Skull" interaction."

Players will have to collect all Sugar Skulls from non-playable characters so that they can unlock the final one that will complete the collection.

There should be a total of 10 Sugar Skulls on the display case, all of which will give "The Sims 4" players the access to the Honor the Dead interaction, which will allow them to interact with the Grim Reaper.

"This increases their relationship gain with him and (and this is super cool) also gives a high chance of success when pleading for another Sim's life! Don't worry, whilst you won't be able to collect the Sugar Skulls after the challenge finishes, the Honor the Dead interaction will remain available," EA details.
