Drone
The two streaming drones.
Drones are objects introduced in The Sims 4: Get Famous and The Sims 4: Discover University. There are two drones Sims can buy in Get Famous, Up and Adam Streaming Drone and Gotta Stream 'em All Streaming Drone. These drones are used in the media production skill and are used to record and stream videos remotely. Discover University introduces quadcopter drones that can be crafted at the robot crafting station with the robotics skill.
Sims can record themselves, other Sims or record the neighborhood; drones will follow or fly around for a period of time before ending their recording where they are. Once their recording is done, Sims can open the drone to transfer their recorded video to the More Views Video Station. Drones can either make travel videos, or skill videos. Skill videos are made when the majority of the recording is of a Sim practicing or using a skill.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The name of the Gotta Stream 'em All Streaming Drone might be a reference to the famous "Gotta Catch 'Em All" slogan from the Pokémon franchise.
- The description of the Gotta Stream 'em All Streaming Drone mentions "the Wally's, Eva's, and Johny's of the robotics community". The first two names refer to WALL-E and EVE from the Pixar movie, WALL-E. The last name is a reference to Johnny 5 from the classic 80's movie Short Circuit.
