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:

Hey guys so I see a lot of people have had the same problem as me of the game crashing after clicking live mode and I fixed it by deleting certain script mods. I don’t really know which ones don’t work with the update but you should search the specific script mod and most creators will mention if it’s been having issues since the new patch. If your mod is so old that it hasn’t been updated in over a year then chances are that one could be the problem. It really seems like a trial and error thing but search “.ts4script” in your mods folder and go from there. Good luck!
so… this is what has worked for me… yall not gonna like this, let me tell yahhhhhh. With trial and failure, I’ve read Michelle’s proposition on what happened with her dealings on this forum. She stated that all of the old mod scripts were the dealings of her game crashing. So I mean, that’s simple enough and a majority of those scripts I don’t really use nor care anymore. NOPE.. Still crashed. So I still kept her advice that the update might only prefer NEWER updated mod scripts. I went to take out EVERY SINGLE (OVER 1,000) MOD FOLDERS…. THE GAME OF COURSE WASN’T CRASHING…. before doing something drastic like REMOVING EVERY SINGLE CC/MOD CONTENT do check your mod scripts (search .ts4script in the mod folder and it will list every mod script you have downloaded for the game) and make sure that it’s a newer updated script and see if that works. If not then sorry to tell you, but my game started working again after deleting all of my mod content and uploaded newer updates of them. Fucking sucks let me tell yah, but hopes this works ;(
ok never mind it still fucking crashes. ughhhhhh please fix this EA
Do you have MC Command center? It was just updated though. Thanks!
keeps crashing my game, why do you guys keep making huge updates?
You mean only a few of the ever expanding list other bugs…
Hi, question here. Where is willow creek? I literally build all my houses and household there and it’s gone.
I’ve never had any issues with my game, but after this update, the loading screens are taking forever and when it does finally load, the screen flickers all along the bottom and it’s really annoying. Plus it crashed a couple times. I disabled CC and it still happened. I tried repairing it in Origin as well and that didn’t do anything. 🙁
I had to uninstall and am currently trying to reinstall it and now it keeps stalling on 98%. I’ve done this before with no problem on my Mac so I have no idea what is going on.
OMG!!!! YOU TOOO ?! I have tried everything , I called EA and apple and nothing is working now they’re telling me to wait a few days to play my game . when we buy this game we never tell them to wait for payments or anything so they need to fix this pronto . I can’t install my game at all smh
I’m unable to access game base worlds :'(. Please fix this.
The game consistently crashes repeatedly!!! I was excited to play it till this patch decided to make the game unplayable… it works to where we are able to use CAS and then build but once you go into live mode the game automatically crashes everytime. Please fix it because i didnt spend my money on something to have it not work because i never had any problems till now and apparently these comments are having the same exact issue.
same here , we spend so much money on these games the lest they could do is make sure it runs perfectly .
I have a Mac and it updated to macOS Catalina and I can’t even play my game at all , which is sad but at the same time infuriating because I pre ordered the sims 4 university . I don’t know what they’re doing to fix this honestly . my game crashed like a bunch of times and now its giving me an error code wtf
My game keeps crashing when I try to play. I can build and create a sim but not play?
You too? Man. I’m able to create a Sim, but I can’t build or play.
Experiencing the same thing
This update/patch has caused my game to crash every time I try to launch a household or enter build mode. I’ve removed CC and that helped, but now that I put all my stuff back in the problem came back. From what I’m reading in the comment section even players who DON’T use CC are experiencing the same problems. So, it’s not because of the CC? And if it is, *sigh* I’m probably going to get rid of my Sims game. I use CC for my builds and creating Sims and its what made the game fun again for me. If I’m unable to use them, I don’t see the point of playing any longer.
My game won’t even open anymore! Can we get a patch for this patch?!
Since the patch my sim can’t write any books. The options are available to select but when I press them they don’t enter the queue.
Me too 🙁
My game hasn’t crashed but my game is totally screwed up after this update. I keep seeing this weird multi-color and question mark pattern on world graphics, certain objects, and on my Sims in CAS. Its like my game can’t process some graphics anymore.
When playing my sims always seem to be glitching after this update. I have to keep constantly shift and click reset object (debug) to get them to start moving again.
Every time I try and load my household the game crashes. I have uninstalled all my CC I don’t use script mods. I’ve tried repairing the game three times. Is there a fix for this, or one coming in the near future????
I hope so, Molly. I’m experiencing the same thing and have done everything I could think of including asking for help from EA Tech Support.
After this patch the icon of sims 4 disappeared to me
but thankfully i still can playing the game if i open the origin and go to the game library and click play
hhhhho h i am so glad i’m not the only one who’s been having these issues here
which. yknow. are still a thing apparently?? i’ve been going stir-crazy thinking it’s the mods/cc that’re the cause of it, but i cleaned out my custom content of any potentially bad stuff, updated all of my mods, had a hot second where i //e n t i r e l y// cleaned out my mods/cc, and just about everything else you could think of?? i really hope a new patch comes along soon that’ll fix this mess, cas is literally the only thing that i can get to work right now and every other website i’ve seen anyone consult about this issue pretty much told them to go fuck theirself
i’m so tired, man
my update went from being 12 seconds to 8 hours ?!
Mine did this, it went to 0hours 0mins 0seconds to 12 hrs!!!!!!
Im having issues with inventory not showing up… My child cannot do homework and my sim cannot do the freelance writing because of this issue!
i use a mac and the game had automatically updated, everytime i try and restart the game i crash straight away. Im at 13 crashes right now.
Same
Can we please sort out parents, or anyone taking toddlers out of the highchair which they just put them in to eat please. It’s driving me nuts having to have my toddlers eat on the floor/livingroom/other chairs anywhere
I can’t edit my sims bodies in cas anymore since the update, even if I get them from the gallery. Was wondering if anyone else has been having this problem?
got the patch and now all my male sims are white and red with question marks covering them. i know it’s not the CC because i disabled CC and checked and it’s still like that ;-;
mine does that too for male and females
I used to run 64 bit ad now every time I try to play a household it crashes. The CAS isn’t running very smoothly either with the icons being more blurry and the scrolling is too sensitive. The worlds now run really laggy and I can’t even edit a sims features without the scrolling being too sensitive or laggy to catch up to what I’m doing.
I think you were the last comment. Did someone magically fix it today? I purchased Sims University from Amazon & I had no idea this was going on. Could anyone please let me know what to do. Is EA going to fix this? If I can’t use mods, I won’t play either. I get bored playing with all my mods. Thanks!
My game gives an error when I start it after I have downloaded the legacy edition.
I have a MacBook
after the update all of my sims skins show red and white question marks. even when i took out my cc it still did this and i dont have any mods installed. does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?
No more Gallery access? But all the games are paid for …. Gallery has always been available.
build and cas work fine for me, once i try to go into a household it crashes 🙁
Newcrest, Oasis Springs and Willow Creek disappeared after updating
Since this new patch all my Sims skin is red and white with a black ? . What is going on? No cc or mods on the game. How do you fix it? It is really annoying.
My game crashes. I tried everything I swear I did, it still crashes. My computer plays the game very well and I had no major issues until this update.
Well looking at the comments, I’m glad I’m not the only one whose game keeps crashing when trying to load a household! This is ridiculous. It seems that with every new update something else goes wrong with this game! :/
I can’t even open it at all. So stupid.
I can’t even open the application. The screen automatically goes to black and I’ve tried updating my laptop (mac), repairing the game, and turning off origin access or whatever it is. It’s pissing me off already I’ve tried opening it multiple times now.

For some reason, the patch didn’t install correctly (i think?), and the new features in the settings are empty (you can click and use the slider, but there’s no text).
Also, quite a few commands in the sim menu are without text, sometimes replaced with dots (there’s no explanation what the dotted commands mean).
Lastly, the create-a-sim story option has disappeared!
Honestly. How is this STILL an issue all this time after the update was released??
My game works fine until I try to travel. Then it crashes. I’ve done all batch fixes and removed mods. Still happens.
I cant even play my game since this patch. It’s upsetting. I’ve been a simmer since the original Sims came out. I just want to be able to play again without something like this happening with each and every patch that’s released. I’m losing hope in this game because of it. I just recently started playing with Mods and the only solution anyone ever has is to take them out but I’m 1,000+ files deep and it’s not the simplest thing to go through all my mods every few months due to these patches. WTF is going on?
Help please my game keeps crashing! I just want to play. This is frustrating.
My game won’t even open. I updated, clicked Play, and NOTHING. I’ve repaired the game, reinstalled Origin, even made sure my video card drivers were up-to-date… Nothing.
I get a ding like there’s an error message and then it just completely fails to load entirely. I’ve tried multiple times.
Try moving to an SSD or external if u have one, if it doesn’t work then try running it as an administrator
My sim was literally just standing and talked to her daughter who was sitting when I read that was part of the patch update…I realized the graphics seemed diff fer me on lp mode and well…. That’s why I’m here
Every time I try to play a household, my game crashes before even getting past the loading screen. This is absolutely ridiculous! I’m getting sick of these constant issues. I get that every game will have its share of glitches and bugs but, it’s getting to the point where just about every other patch update causes something to happen that makes the game unplayable. I swear if I didn’t put so much time and effort into my sims and builds, I’d give TS4 up for this reason.
My game crashes too when I try to open a house.. I tried Everything internet recommended but nothing works.. There are so many people with this problem and ea needs to fkn fix this right now!
I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO PLAY FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS. EVERY TIME I GO TO PLAY A HOUSEHOLD IT CRASHES. THIS IS INSANE. HOW HAVE THEY NOT FIXED THIS YET. I HAVE UPDATED MY COMPUTER, MY GAME, CHANGED MODS, TAKEN MODS OUT, DISABLED MODS, EVERYTHING. IM PIST. EA FIX THIS NOW.
Me too….Not fun. I can go into cas but when I try to load a family it crashes. Come on EA wth get htis fixed already!!!
Cas works fine, but I can’t go into build and live mode, my game crashes when it’s on the loading screen.
Every time I launch my Sims 4 game and go into build mode my game crashes or freezes within 5 minutes. I do have mods and custom content in my game. I have taken out/updated mods and everything and I am still having this problem. My Mac is a 64-bit by the way.
Has anyone else had really odd graphical glitches since the university patch on Mac?
In menus and create-a-sim, I keep getting this constant flicker, like tv static, across the bottom of the screen.
That’s aside from the obvious game crashing issues also. At the moment this game is unplayable.
To fix the glitching, I believe people were saying to turn off edge scrolling. I’m still waiting for a fix for the crashing…so far, nothing.
Yes, I have been seeing the weird glitch when interacting with pop-up menus and the “flicker during cas (I’m on Mac too). When I try to play a household in live mode everything remains frozen and when I try to escape or save all of the buttons are greyed out and say “game loading or loading in progress” my game is utterly unplayable fam and I don’t know what to do at this point it feels like I’ve tried everything [In a fit of desperation I’ve even uninstalled the Sims 4 and Origin and reinstalled them nothing to no avail].
To no avail*
Does anyone have the answer to why this package keeps on crashing. my daughter has spent hours on this and for the last 2 days has suddenly kicked her out and has never saved her work.i now have a very very upset daughter.
You charge enough for these add- ons and they simply don’t work.
Maybe we should all get a refund. Quick enough to take our money. But take forever to fix the bloody thing.
Will console ever get this?
Can’t even load the game. I freeze when it tries to load the load screen to even launch the game. I’ve restarted 6 times, reinstalled and installed. Updated my mac, as well as downloaded legacy version. I have no mods either.
