FIXES & UPDATES

Legacy Edition

An issue was introduced that prevented several languages from being able to properly run the legacy edition. This occurred due to the game client not reading its initialization file in the correct place, which is required in order to launch in the players chosen language. And as a result, the game would crash upon launch if English was not installed. We have fixed this issue. Please also be aware that any player that followed our instructions to perform a manual work around will not need to make any further changes after this patch.

Standard Edition – Base Game

An issue introduced with the last patch caused a Toddler’s needs to decay twice as fast. And as much fun as toddler motive juggling may be, it made it impossible to care for more than one toddler at a time, and could easily result in the toddler being removed from the household. We have addressed this issue, and returned toddlers to their normal needy selves.

We have addressed some crashes that were impacting mod users.

Discover University

Users, whose save files became corrupted after running into “error code 102:6ee24dd4” or “error code 109:1bfa931d”, should find the issue no longer occurring. This is a retroactive fix, and saves that were corrupted should once again be available to load.

Why is it that when I am trying to find a house to buy the ones on the very top right I cannot buy? I have the money it just won’t let me click on it at all. And also when I am trying to choose my Sims clothes I cannot change the colors of the clothes. The colors pop up but it does not let me click on any of them, so I have been just picking whatever it is and having to wear it like that..

I hope this patch helps! But for some reason before the patch, every time my sim used the bathroom it turned into a pranked toilet. Even tho she lives in a home with her family so none of the new toilets from university and there isn’t even an option to make the normal toilet to be pranked by other sims its happening on the toilet that’s supposed to be unbreakable. Also I can’t give my dogs a bath it keeps saying the bathtubs are clogged even tho they work fine I even deleted my bathtub and bought them new but still can’t give my dogs a bath. Sorry one more thing my pregnant sims I take them to the hospital to give birth but nothing happens she just keeps waiting to give birth she’s wearing the hospital gown has the heart symbol above her head but nothing happens fast forward time still nothing and then get the notification to have baby at hospital or home again. Sorry to complain but these are some the things I’ve run into while playing the sims. I’ve had to use cheats or find another way around the issues like for my sim getting constantly pranked on normal toilets I had to build up her satisfaction points to buy the reward steel bladder so I wouldn’t have to keep repairing or replacing my toilets constantly.

I have the constantly pranked toilets bug as well, wondering if it’s a mod acting up.

I still have a problem. When I open the sims game everything is fine, but when I click a household on the map, it goes to the loading screen then crashes. I would really like this problem to be fixed because now I can’t play the Sims at all, and I just got the Island Living expansion pack, Realm of magic game pack and toddler stuff pack.

Can’t go online with the Sims (origin is fine) keeps saying it’s denied for online use, no button in the game to click to allow online no CC no mods very frustrating already installed and reinstalled.

Please please stop the random sprite visitors after you’ve left the organisation or graduated university. Every. Single. Day. They pop up and my sim is tense and I can’t play her anymore! None of the cheat codes have worked to stop them.

Ugh. Same! So annoying. Also the disappearing presentation board and the fact that you cannot buy a replacement.

I am good with how the game is now, no need to update. Although would be nice for the Sim to no longer walk through items like tables. Must be that lazy trait who wants to go around when you can go right through I guess.

I update my game but my cc still broken. When I go into create a sim, the face does not show up only teeth. I do not know what today.

You’ll need to figure out which CC is broken and update those. The patches tend to break a lot of CC and it’s up to the modders / creators of that content to update. You’ll need to redownload the newest versions of your CC.

I’ve never had all these problems people talk about. Just the cake problems I’ve been having since I bought the sims 4 years ago.

What do you think?

So we can rest easy knowing that another single thing works (hopefully)
