NEW & IMPROVED FEATURES
Multi Story Columns
I’m not sure calling them multi-story columns is accurate. They are more like multi-height columns. Just go into the build catalog, place a column, grab the handle at the top, and drag it up and down to re-size. Some have a maximum size, others however… I think I topped out around 100 feet.UI Scaling
Now available in the Options menu – UI Scaling! Are you a 4k player with tiny user interface issues? Do you prefer your interface to be readable at distances greater than fifty feet away? Have you a desire to customize the scale to your personal preferences? Now you can! From the Options panel, open up Game Options, and choose Accessibility. Stay away from the red parts of the slider to keep things in the safe range for your display. But, if you are feeling adventurous, give it a try, go crazy! If for some reason you find yourself in a bad state, you can always reset – either from the options panel, or by using Ctrl+U to reset the scaling back to default!Main Menu Messaging
We know you want to know EVERYTHING about what’s going on, so we’ve added the ability to show you the latest and greatest Sims content on the Main Menu. You’ll be able to learn about free content, check out the latest updates on upcoming releases, pore over the newest blog posts, and more!New Clothing
We have updated the Holiday Celebration Pack with some new children and toddler clothing! If you haven’t already added the Holiday Celebration Pack to your game, click on the icon at the Main Menu, and download the free pack! From there, head on in to Create a Sim and select the Holiday filter to find the new assets! Children have a new male top, female top, and winter boots! Toddlers have a new outfit for males, a new outfit for females, and some shoes! Or open up the Styled Looks, where SimGuruMorgan created some great new looks with the content!Music
We have made the Hip Hop Radio Station available for everyone! This means that it is no longer exclusive to Get Famous. However, Get Famous specific music will still need Get Famous to be played.We added the following songs as part of this update:

After the patch my game crashes when I try to enter build mode on an empty lot. Does this happen to anyone else? I tried to remove the Mods folder, but the issue persists.
Did you delete the localthumbcache file also? Even if you remove your mods that still stores some of that info. You always have to delete it when you update or remove mods. I haven’t patched my game yet. I normally wait a while to see if there are any big bugs that came out. I just did the pervious patch a few hours before this one dropped.
When will this update be coming to console
Updated the game, loaded fine, clicked on my Sim to play – crash! 4 times already! :/ :/ :/
I’m having this too….
me to
The base game wall patterns disappeared!! Wtf?!
i’m at 8 crashes. this is ridiculous
Anyone got a solution for this? I’m in the same boat.
Same here!
uuugh same here and I can’t find any solutions. this is ridiculous -.-
Same.
Me too! My game keeps crashing when I click on a sim to play :/
3rd crash so far! I don’t even have mods or CC that could be causing issues :/
Same problem here! Like you said build mods and cas work fine! and im really happy at first, until I go to play in live mode, i have 879 mods and people are having this problem with no cc so I think its something with the game, was so excited to get discover university for christmas this year so when my main teen becomes a young adult I can continue their story line, only to find out my game keeps crashing opon trying to enter live mode, dissapointed :C
This is happening to me as well, how do we fix this?
What about the issue where some task won’t complete in the freelance career???
my cc showers are disappearing after latest update anyone else having this problem
Yes, I think it’s because they already added the new shower options which will come with University to the game….we had the same issue with the bathtubs when island living came up
I never had any issue with bathtubs though?
I’m having that problem but with sinks, both cc and base game
I know there was a patch to fix butler’s disappearance when you went to another world but, mine still does that and switches out butler’s often… is anyone still experiencing this?
No cc in my game, but half Sims are red/white and question marks
Same
Yes, I have no CC, and almost all my sims have red and white skin with question marks. And some of the normal icons don’t show up now. Like when I click to perform an action.
Why dont the console players get an update that fixes our problems
with Magic Realm too bad you couldn’t set an outfit for a Sim to show up wearing, instead of random outfits that just don’t fit like a woman wearing men’s pants which makes me look like they’re carrying a load. Unfortunate there isn’t a conversation meter where you can speak to a Sim for a nice period of time instead of just saying Hello only to have the person you’re talking with leave during mid-conversation that you didn’t start. Can you imagine that someone approaches you only to leave during mid-chat, haha rude.
My game won’t open. Did a repair, removed mods, even renamed the game ts41 and let Origin generate all new game files. Still crashes. Anyone else?
Yes me too… Can’t open regular game OR legacy version.
Thanks
This is awful. Especially right before launch of DU. I can’t go online nor can I access the saved games.
Since I loaded the patch I could not even enter the game, no mods no cc no cache…
Same
Thanks
happening to me too! and i have a 64bit computer so i have no idea why this is happening
my game is just super laggy now :/ which is a huge bummer because used to run so smooth 🙁
Did anyone else lose basic sims 4 worlds.
me too 🙁 idk what to do
YES!! I had most of my sims living in those worlds as well! Have a whole generation family and I’m going to be very upset if its all gone! This issue needs fixed Now!
Yep! I lost them too
Yes! And ALL my game progress everywhere. Brings me right to “Create a Sim.” Any solutions yet?
Updated and now I can’t play in live mode because the game crashes. CAS and build mode are fine.
I am having the exact same problem, and still, no word from EA -.-
INCREDIBLY happy about the new UI adjustment options. I have had a fairly severe sight impairment for awhile (though I’m getting it fixed soon) and it has been insanely difficult for me to comfortably play because of the absolutely microscopic view of the UI. Being able to adjust the size makes it so much better for me and–I’m sure–many other devoted Simmers who have trouble with their eyes. Even though I’m getting my premature cataracts removed within the next few weeks (my first surgery in just a couple of days, in fact!), I’m still thrilled on behalf of anyone else who’s had this issue since this iteration of the game began. If I may make just one suggestion… it would be LOVELY if we could either adjust the opacity of text on the UI (such as the clock or the household account reading) or the color of that text. But I’m still super-pleased. Thanks Sims Team!
cant connect to my gallery nor online in game and iv been at it for hours trying to fix it,it all started after 3x fail of downloading new patch (finally downloaded) then going to play a family only to realize the family dog is completely missing once playing…he was apart of my fam last night he didnt die or run away just got completely obliterated from existence just like my ability to go onto my gallery
found my dog he mysteriously died/got terminated sum how between the time i wasn’t playin n the new patch download…….still cant go onto my gallery content/account/connection in game
My game isn’t even opening after the update .-.
Me too
So… I just read through this entire list and the Spellcaster eyes still aren’t fixed? Really?
I’m having the same issue it’s so annoying!
After the game update all of my sims with custom content are no longer there, i enabled mods and started the game back up so they come up in create a sim but i dont wanna have to edit ALL of my sims help!!! did this happen to anyone else
This happened to me too…
take everything out and then put it back in the mods folder, usually works
First after edit in CAS my househild dissapeared and i was brought to the world menu. Twice. Then after loading in my save files were corrupted, and all household images were blue squares and the game would fail to load into a family. After disabling my mods I was able to finally play without issues. (Had to make a nee family from scratch) then after playing for hours I try to save and quit and i get an error 510 saying my game cannot be saved. No matter what I did I could not save my game so the new update ruined three families today. Pretty frustrated.
same happened to me. i took all the save files mod etc folders from the old sims4 n just put them in the new sims4 game patch folders (i have a mac it might b diff via pc to transfer files but if u can still access those old files/folders from the original i believe it will work n bring back ur families n game progress like it was b4 all this craziness ) idk how but that’s the only thing i got right apparently
as well as 3x did repair on origin but that was after i downloaded bc the damn thing wouldn’t let me play it was saying error of sum sort so figured its cause my comps old n derby i deleted sum junk to clean it up then was able to play but to only b in utter dismay all my fams etc was completely wiped out giving me new game bs n ina pissed off panic did all the old files/folders transfer, hope this helps sum how n u get ur fam’s n game progress back
Why cant the sim team do shit right. Now my game keeps crashing. Mind you i took all of my mods and its still crashing. Tf is going on
Working perfect. Best patch so far
After the Update all my male sims started to glitch out and have white and red skin with black question marks in Cas and living, i don’t have any cc in my game and my MacBook isn’t an old one. Some of my female sims have the skin colour but with question marks on them. Is this happening to anyone else? Can i fix it? How can i fix it? Help would really be appreciated.
( Plus is there a Sim guru or something i can tweet to and ask what’s going on because i’m so confused on what’s happening. )
Same here!!! 🙁
I second that!
You have to repair the game. My daughter was getting the same red and white skin with the black question marks. She clicked on settings on the Sims4 in Orgin and clicked repair. It worked…
This happened to me with the red and white squares after the update. I repaired the game and now it crashes every time I go into Build mode after about 3 minutes. I tried repairing again and it didn’t work . I don’t have any custom content either. I can’t find any solutions.
I am having the same issue but both my male and female sims have white and red skins with a question mark. Even base game clothing is glitching and doing the same thing.
Love It ❤❤
Help! My sims face is now all white with ??? All over their skin! It happens in Cas and doesn’t go away….. How do I fix this…. Or uninstall the patch?? I can’t play!!
My game is crashing too when I try to enter a lot, and I don’t play with any mods or cc downloaded. I’ve repaired the game and uninstalled/reinstalled. Hope this gets fixed soon.
Same thing is happening to me.
I’ve been trying to fix my game since yesterday. It is without a doubt, a custom content/mod folder problem. I have thousands of pieces in 50 different folders. I have about 20 folders left. I will add one folder per startup to get to the problem. This is a long process but I refuse to play this game without custom content, so I must suffer. Btw, I crashed about 30 times, but now the game plays with no problems.
Spoke too soon…stopped working again.
My game crashes, I’ve disabled my cc and mods and this still continues. Also my sim can only do one action? If I choose another they will just stand there and I have to constantly reset my sim just to do another action..
Sooo… After the new patch my sims started crashing, I can’t get into live mode, build mode or create a sim. I pre-ordered Discover University and now I won’t be able to play it. What do I do? Otherwise how do I delete the patch?
Please help me, I am a high-school senior and I’m in the middle of end exams. I convinced my parents to let me play sims until sunday but now I won’t even be able to play tonight.
PLEASE ANSWER, PLEASE HELP, AND THEN PLEASE EMAIL ME…
Oo and I am in my 3rd generation of the legacy challenge and going strong PLEASE DON’T LET ME LOOSE THAT DATA
Updated just fine but get onto play and ALL the base game worlds are gone! I have most of my sims living in those worlds as well so very disappointed and don’t even want to play until this issue is resolved!
Same issue here, it just brings me right to “Create a Sim.”
If you are playing through origin, go to game library, right click the game and click repair. Worked for me my game was awful after the update. Crashing, lagging, skin was white and red squares, anything that was blue or green in colour was coming up as a multi coloured square with question marks all inside. Hope this works for everyone!
I repaired my game like 100 times and nothing is working
Same here.
Me too.
So, I updated my game and now when I go in to play as a household the game crashes. Not sure what the issue is but I don’t think it’s on my part. Please fix this.
Same for me
Me too!
And I’v checked all my mods or cc, it still doesn’t work.
Same here. Game loads fine then when I try the play a sim or place one…crash. I’ve hit repair at least 3 times on origin. Was going to order University, but now…
My game keeps crashing. What can I do to fix this? I have tried everything 🙁
Dis anyone else have the issue we’re when you downloaded this that you can’t get your old sims back?
Yes I have this problem now
I cannot get my Sims since the update.
After the update, whenever I buy a custom content shower, it disappears when placed. I removed all mods except for 1 cc shower and it still happened.
When are they fixing this???
Has anyone had issues with basegame clothing options and skin tones causing issues? I’m getting a lot of base game clothings, hairs, makeups and more that are not working at all since the update.
Does anyone reading the comments about the crashing know when this will be fixed?
Data is expensive over here in South Africa, is anyone able to point me to the place where it says how big the file is, before I go ahead and give myself a heart attack
Is anyone having problems placing sinks down after the update?
I’m not seeing other comments about this problem so I’ll go ahead and let you know.
I’m playing on Mac and when I load up the game I get the classic green glitch lines allover the screen. The game works fine underneath it all, but I get headaches three times as fast as normal, XD. It really affects building in particular, I can’t identify the swatches correctly.
A sim guru tweeted that if you turn your edge smoothing on low or off it stops that glitch. Seems to happen to Mac users
Thank you for letting me know, :).
good to know I’m not the only one! i hope this glitch gets fixed, i usually didn’t have to have my smoothing setting on low, but I hate how pixelated it has to look in order for it to not glitch xD
ever since I updated my game. my sims and other items have been covered in red white and question marks and I have tried fixing it for the past 2 hours but nothing is working. someone please send HELP
i dunno what the fix is but I’m having the exact same problem
HOPE THIS HELPS
So i took out my mods in the game and turns out the one that was making it crash was the life tragedies one. Just go to your mods folder and take out the mods and put them back in one by one to see if thats the mod making your game crash. Mine works fine now since i took out the life tragedies mod
This recent update is a nightmare, I don’t even want to purchase university now if I can’t play! Any announcement on who hit the kill switch?!
Guys I deleted 4000 suspicious mods，and the game finally works normally.
It truly is a nightmare.
NO……speak too soon.Still crashed .
Now ， I can’t take pets to the vet.
It is still a crashing problem.
And I also can’t play some households.
The graphics are god awful after this update. Everything is fuzzy.
I thought it was just me, with the horrible graphics. I got in a couple times earlier, but now I’ve been kicked out at least a dozen times. I guess I’ll take my mods out. What a pain in the butt this game can be.
Thanks!
This may or may not help some of you but if you go to settings and repair the game everything should start running smoothly…no blue boxes, no red and white sims with question marks.
I tried that and it did help the 1st time, but not the 2nd.
I’m playing on a PC. When It gets to the play button screen, It asks me about keeping my UI scaling or restoring it to default. I checked both and they both freeze on the spot. I’m assuming that my mods were turned of as well because it got to the play screen really fast compared to when my mods are on.
Anyone else have this issue with the UI freeze?
Mine keeps crashing after I got the update and it’s pissing me off! I took out all my mods and I was in the middle of a royalty challenge but I decided to delete it all. I hate it. This is my 30th time rebooting it and it won’t work
It no longer supports my old 2010 imac. Im. Mad about this..
after the update my Sims have barely any interaction options with the Sims in the same household, & with Sims they don’t know they have zero interactions! i’ve tried everything but nothing is still not workkng
My game crashes every time I try to place a lot from the gallery. Happens with a new or old save.
hey sims people.. are you going to fix the fact that a huge majority of players are complaining about constant crashes ever since the new update?
Because dude it’s happening to me whenever I tried to play a household. Thought it was my mods that i downloaded this morning but even when I turn off the mods it still crashes. Please fix asap, obviously I’m not the only one complaining about this :((
