The Sims Team has released a brand new update for The Sims 4 on PC, Mac and Console!

To download the latest version of The Sims 4, simply open your Origin program and if the game doesn’t update automatically, right-click on The Sims 4 and select ”Update.” For console players, your game should update automatically however if it doesn’t simply go into the game options and you will be able to update from there.

For PC and Mac users – In case you have Mods or Custom Content, the game will automatically disable them for you after first launching The Sims 4 after the update. To re-enable all your Mods and Custom Content, select the Settings option in the menu and select Settings. Under the” Other” section you’ll find the ”Enable Custom Content and Mods” option. Check it and restart your game in order for it to take effect!

Update: A hotfix patch has also now been rolled out for console players. Patch notes have been updated to reflect all platforms.

Update 06/04/2020

PC: 1.63.134.1020 / Mac: 1.63.134.1220

Hello Simmers,

We have a small but important update for you to address some critical issues that affect all players across PC and Mac. Thank you for your reports and assistance in tracking down these issues.

  • Fixed an issue in which the game crashed or quit upon loading game saves that were created prior to the June 3rd update.
  • Fixed an issue in which Error code 122:1c9cf40 would appear and loaded the Manage World screen and prompted Simmers to restart the game.

I was playing the game like normal, enjoying eco-living, and decided I wanted to place a restaurant down so I could go on a date with someone. I didn’t have any problems up until this point. I placed the lot and fixed stuff on it and then went to go and play my sim while she was still at her house. When I clicked to play the household, it would go to the loading screen and then the audio would cut out and the plum bob would freeze, and then the game would shut down for no reason. I tried deleting the restaurant but it still happened. I repaired my game and made sure all my mods were updated and still the same thing. Then I removed my mods all together and it still did the same freeze and cut off. Any suggestions?

since having the update and downloading eco pack for ps4, I have controls instructions on my right hand side of screen below notifications. I cant get them off my screen!!! Bugging me.

Says things like select, hold + left stick to pan camera, decrease/increase game speed etc. Why can i not get this off the screen i hope its not permanent.

Play xbox here and the sounds is messed up and all static! I’m so disappointed because I always play console so no mods and just assume gameplay will always go smooth. I have fountains and they sound like hellish static and regular game sounds glitch as well. 🙁

When I awoke this morning I found out a update was needed to my Sims 4. I updated to the 1.26 version only to get a loading screen that would soon pop up as an error after I picked my save household prior to the update. I just bought the university expansion pack two days ago… I just would like some assistance so, I can get my game back working or a solution to my problem. Thank you.

If you use mods remove them. The issues you mention sound like mod incompatibility issues

Try a different default eye set to see if it’s truly broken or just the original one you had. Some defaults are really old and need to be updated. If that’s the case there are tutorials around to create default eyes using sims4studio program. I’ve done this myself to convert a set that I wanted to be a default replacement for personal use only as it’s not my creation. Granted I did a sloppy job because I was more interested to test if I did it correctly.

Maybe you figured this out already, but if you have UI cheats mod, either remove it or update it from the creator – that solved this issue for me

Probably need to report that it’s happening with console. I saw a lot of PC and MAC players complaining of these issues on twitter to alert gurus than I did with console reports.

In the latest tweet, they said they are working on the problem with the consoles. It takes time. It can either be done right or be done fast but wrong.

Outdated mods. C’mon people, if you won’t be responsible for keeping mods updated do not use them

mine updated a few minutes ago ( I play on an Xbox console) and before this whole issue yesterday I bought a pack from the sale (Realm of Magic) it was going fine until my game crashed and it won’t let me into that specific gameplay and it tells me to “rEsTarT ThE gAmE” and when i do it nothing changes it never does this so why now? when you do updates make sure it’s worth our time because us console players and others have spent so much of our money on this game which is supposed to be fun and relaxing to play. It lets me play my other gameplay but I didn’t try all of the other ones yet I get bored playing with just one family if you understand where i’m coming from 🙂

My sims 4 still isn’t working properly. It still tells me there has been an error, (134:c8640a95:5aee4535) and I updated my ps4 and sims4. I deleted my sim households that didn’t work and I’m trying to make a new sim but it won’t let me move around or anything. This morning it wouldn’t let me open up the gallery or anything but now it is. But why can’t I move around in Cas mode???

Since the new update I can’t play my favorite household. The game tells me to relaunch after an error. Also my sims are wearing clothes I did not put them on. Other sims in the games are not fully dress and the ones that are seems to be broken throughout my entire game. I do not like playing the game anymore after the June 2020 update. I spent 6 months with that family and my home game is base on that family. I can’t play them but it is hard to delete them.

damn this update really messed things up when it came to Wicked WooHoo badly which is rare seeing as this never happened before, I guess that is what happens when a new pack comes out and not everything is expected to work like it should.

Does anyone know when I will be able to buy the eco pack in a bundle as I already have all of the other expansion packs and it won’t let me and I want to get eco lifestyle but I want to wait and bundle it!
