Patch Notes
UPDATE: 7/16/2019 – PC 1.53.115.1020 / Mac 1.53.115.1220
Welcome Simmers! We’ve got an unconventional update for you this month, with a bold new look for The Sims, and a brand new mode within Create a Sim. You can go on reading the details of what we’ve changed, but trust me — you’ll notice the differences the moment you start your game. After you’re done exploring the new main menu, be sure to give a Create a Sim Story a try… you may just find it to be a fun way to shake up your normal playstyle!
NEW CONTENT
Create a Sim Stories
Is your Simming stuck in a creative rut? Try crafting a story within Create a Sim! By starting a new household, or adding a Sim to an existing household, you can take a fun quiz to determine your Sims personality and starting conditions. By creating a story your Sims will end up starting out with a career, various skills, and different levels of starting household funds! Of course, this is just an additional option that’s now available — you’ll still be able to also create Sims the same way you always have.
New Look
The Sims 4 has a new look! Now that we’re entering the fifth year of The Sims 4, and the twentieth year of The Sims, we wanted to continue to invest in The Sims 4 so that it remains fresh and relevant for years to come. You’ll quickly spot changes like a brand new cast of Sims, new intro videos, new loading screens, new cover art, and new pack icons. The main menu has received the most significant additions; not only does it show off our new style, but you’ll discover the ability to play trailers from our most recent packs, and access quick links to The Sims on your favorite social platforms.New Customization Options
Our new cast of Sims has some fresh new clothing and accessories to wear, and you’ll find all of their new content within Create a Sim. Check out their group shot by clicking through the art on the main menu! The base game has received new tops, bottoms, accessories, hairstyles, and a hat. Players who own certain packs will receive new swatches on some of the clothing and accessories they already own from those packs.
New Cheat
We’ve added a new cheat to the game! Open the cheat console and type in “bb.showliveeditobjects” to enable the cheat. To disable it, type “bb.showliveeditobjects false”.
Enabling the cheat will unlock a new set of objects in Build Mode to decorate your lots with… rocks, trees, bushes, signs, and all sorts of environment objects. I lost count, but I think it’s somewhere around twelve-hundred new decorative objects. These objects are environment objects, which our artists use when creating worlds. As such they are not optimized for on lot use, so please be aware when using this cheat. The most obvious issue you may notice is that Sims will walk through these objects.
FIXES & UPDATES
The Sims 4
- Resolved error code 134:ef7a88f2:b4565d86, which was preventing players from loading certain save files.
- I’d explain further, but really the error code is self explanatory.
- Ok, sorry – that was snarky. This recently introduced error occurred when attempting to load a game that was saved while one of the household Sims wasn’t currently instantiated on the active lot, and had away actions that they could perform.
- Fixed an issue where objects were getting stuck on toddler’s hands.
- The Sulani animation on the World Select screen will now display properly for players who do not own Island Living.
- Within the tutorial, your friendly roommate Alex will now successfully give your Sim a job once again.
- The main menu will now continue to display the pack art that you’ve selected until you decide to change to a different one.
Mac
- Fixed an issue where camera controls for rotating and zoom levels were behaving inconsistently when using a trackpad.
Vampires
- Fixed an issue where Vampires were failing to route when directed to perform the Dark Meditation and Influence Emotions powers.
Nah, it will hurt everybodies’ eyes. It’s too blue honestly.
agreed.. the color of blue they picked is too strong in my opinion.. maybe it would be better if they choose light blue or something
Indeed. It’s too blue, too bright….too annoying.
what a horrible update
my kids hate the update and now refuse to play the game
please implement a option to return game to the previous style/format
otherwise its 2 more gamers you have lost who no longer spend there money on addons
seriously if it aint broke don’t fix it!!! maybe fix what is broke!
its not rocket science
After running the update I have lost sound on my PC. Trying to figure it out but this is really annoying.
So is this all for base game players too.Also I ak anlesbian and have been trying to make my sims that way for the longest how do I get to lwrsonality quizzes and find tue new sims when it it just keeos showing me the same ones
Has anyone noticed that the new update deleted some of the last update features? No costume party or black and white party anymore? I am super bummed about that.
ok cool this literally broke my sims but whatever
Please bring Luxury drivable cars to sims4 such as bmw, Mazda, Mercedes Benz, jeeps,
Any changes to skin detail and body detail aren’t carried over into the other outfits so I have to repeat it FOR EVERY OUTFIT. Please fix that. Makes CAS use unbearably slow.
And if I make the mistake of randomizing my traits IT CHANGES EVER PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTE I SPENT THE LAST 30 MINUTES putting together. Please do something about this as well.
After the update I can no longer open the game. It always gives me this Initialization Error..
I already talked to an EA tech support, gave me another link to update the Origin App. Tried running the game again, and still no progress. It is just frustrating when I just bought 2 new bundles. 🙁
Now I’ve decided to uninstall the Origin App again..
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: So, i tinkered with the origin app and saw below Settings the “Repair” option. clicked on it and i think it updated all the packs and bundles too. Now its working smoothly. omg. im so happy. 🙂
Sims 4 – I’m on Xbox one you did the update yesterday.. since the update game lags like Krazy have had to restart my game 4 times because it’s not registering things told to do or aspirations not registering… Cleaned the island fully twice not registering that either.. please fix for Xbox one console version please… Lol I have the Xbox one x I should add and I haven’t got a clue about modding
So, without any doubt this update is causing more problems along with June’s patch. Are they crazy? They did not even solved/fixed the issues with the previous patch! Sims still can’t watch the TV, take soaks and massages, interactions with other sims are cancelled when more than one is on queue. It’s not a matter of CC/Mods because I’ve tested the game without them more than once. When are they going to put their hands on these serious issues, instead of giving us more problems?
exactly, when I updated I tried going to load game and it didn’t let me and now I cant go into my old games and I cant save my sims to the gallery
Updated my game and all my households now have a flashing blue screen and I can’t play them 🙁
Does anyone know how to fix this???
